The Stranger holding his light saber and attacking

The Big Picture The season finale of The Acolyte had many questions to answer, especially regarding its main antagonist, Qimir — aka the Stranger. There were countless theories regarding his real identity and his role as a Sith, but the main one was about his alleged past as a Jedi. He had first mentioned it to Osha in Episode 6, "Teach / Corrupt," and now it has been confirmed that he was telling the truth about it by his own former master: Vernestra Rwoh .

Still, Qimir has to have come from somewhere. A possibility is that he really never had a given name, and may have been discovered by the Jedi at too early an age to remember where he came from. It happens — Torbin , for example, is the son of paupers from the planet Bonadan, but his surprise upon hearing Mother Aniseya say it probably implies he never knew about it, either.

In "Teach / Corrupt," Qimir reveals to Osha that he was once a Jedi, too. "It was a really long time ago," he says, keeping it mysterious. Later, when he is fixing his cortosis helmet, Osha asks him about the scar on his back. He says it was given to him by "someone who threw him away," using the same words from a couple of scenes earlier, when he argued with Osha that she didn't walk out of the Jedi Order, but was, in fact, thrown away.
