Sidon Ithano's helmet

Sidon Ithano's helmet was an ancient and traditional helmet and mask sourced from the reptilian Kaleesh species. The mask represented the trickster god Ithano. The helmet was red with black details and created from plasteel lined with ionnite. It was worn by the Delphidian pirate captain Sidon Ithano during the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance.

Despite his past connection with the species, Ithano took the mask from the Kaleesh. He used it to conceal his Delphidian ancestry as well as to further heighten the sense of mystery that surrounded him. Since red was the most prevalent color of blood in the galaxy, Ithano painted his helmet and used it as the color for much of his clothing to convey a sense of glory, garnering him the nicknames the Crimson Corsair, Blood Buccaneer, or the Red Raider. No one ever forgets him constantly wearing his red Kaleesh mask. His speeder had a custom chassis that was reminiscent of the mask he wore.

As with all large Kaleesh helmets, long, lateral slits dominated the mask, with flaring ears. In a particular light, Ithano's dark, strongly striated skin and deep-set eyes could be seen, albeit few ever went close enough and lived to tell the tale. His modified Kaleesh helmet was equipped with breathing filters and a vocalizer that boosted his voice. However, as Ithano hardly spoke, that raspy, mechanical voice was rarely heard. His helmet protected him from the vacuum of space.
