Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This article contains spoilers for The Acolyte episode 5.Star Wars has just offered a tantalizing hint that The Acolyte's villain may not be a Sith Lord at all. The true identity of The Acolyte's villain, Mae's mysterious Master, had been something of an open secret; there had been countless clues that Qimir was really the Sith.
"With a specialized cortosis gauntlet and a mask permanently twisted into a frightful grin, the Stranger with a red-bladed lightsaber appears as if out of thin air. While some may call him a Sith , little is known of this dark sider who has been training Mae Aniseya in secret, hiding his face from his pupil. When needed, he has adopted the alias Qimir, acting as a shiftless drifter and supplier with seemingly no cares at all other than his own amusements.
