Just a thought. Qimir said that "some may call me Sith." I get the feeling that the few Jedi who know about him by the end of this season may not believe he was really a Sith. It would explain why Mace Windu would be skeptical of a random dark side user with a red blade being Sith. That just reinforces the arrogance of the Jedi of the prequel era.

@SailorDisco Most of them died anyway. The Sith returning only 1000 years before The Phantom Manace would be a bit too early yet to close to their actual return, so this has to be covered up one way or the other to not be a retcon.
However, Qimir doesn't explain much that would really associate himself with the Sith cult. What he say is more or less, that he is just no Jedi and does what he wants how he wants it and doesn't want anyone to butt in.
