Who is the Sith in The Acolyte?

At the end of The Acolyte episode 1, Mae first goes to see her mysterious Master – a masked Sith. This Sith has tasked Mae with killing a series of Jedi, all of whom were present 𝐆on Mae's home planet when she started a fire which killed her family. She be๊lieved her twin sister Osha to be dead, too, but has now learned that Osha survived. 

The masked Sith is revealed to be Qimir (Manny Jacinto) in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:episode 5. But it was a long road to finally 🍎reveal his identity.

Qimir is an all new character who hasn't appeared in any of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:High Republic novels or comics. Tꦺhat makes the mystery behind where he came from and, potentially, who he answers to all the more compelling.

So,  Qimir is the Sith himself, but that might not be the end of it. Still, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:one line of dialogue was all it took for him to stand out as the pri♌me suspect. And so it proved.

But, The Acolyte episode 3 opened the door to other theories, too. In that episode, we're introduced to Mae and Osha's mothers – Mother Aniseya and Mother Koril. In an episode-long flashback, we see that Mae set a fire that killed all of the witches in the temple, though some have their s💧u♋spicions and think the Jedi are actually responsible for the deaths. If that is the case, it's possible Koril or Aniseya survived, and one of them is pulling the str♔ings of Qimir and directing Mae to kill the Jedi present on 🐷Brendok all those years ago as an act of revenge. 

Episode 4 spawned a whole new theory, too, which suggests that there are not one but two mystery Sith Lords. It speculates that Q✃imir is an app🧸rentice with a dark side Master of his own, and he wants to overthrow h🦹is Master to make๊ Mae his apprentice in turn. 

But, by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Phantom Menace, the Jedi believe the Sith to have been extinct for a long time. Could that mean this figure isn't a Sith at all, then? It remains to be seen, but episode 4 has also cleared up how the Jedi High Council might ﷺbe unaware of Mae and the unknown Sith.
