Mask of Darth Nihilus

The Nihilus mask was one of the pieces of armor that Sith Lord Darth Nihilus had bound to himself using the Force in an effort to retain a semblence of a physical form. Darth Nihilus had been one the few who had survived the activation of the Mass Shadow Generator while on the surface of Malachor V during the last battle of the Mandalorian Wars, the Battle of Malachor V. This experience left him with an insatiable need to feed on the Force. Eventually this hunger began to erode his physical body and in an effort to keep himself alive, he bound his spirit to his armor, robes, and mask using the dark side of the Force. At the end of the First Jedi Purge Nihilus was killed aboard his flagship, the Ravager, by the Jedi Exile, his former apprentice Visas Marr and Madalore the Preserver, leaving his mask as a gruesome reminder of his reign as the Lord of Hunger.

Behind the scenes
In the game KotOR II: TSL, the player character has an option to receive the Nihilus mask after his death through character dialog with Visas Marr. The player will then gain a bonus to their maximum Force points.
