Alright, time to go in to Full Nerd Mode:
Revan is probably the most morally ambiguous character in the history of SW. When Revan returns to the Republic as a Sith Lord with Malak in tow, he spares certain worlds for strategic reasons because his ultimate goal is to prepare the galaxy for an impending invasion by what are known as the "True Sith".
The Sith Emperor you see in that trailer is the leader of those True Sith, and has been for 300 years though their Order was established in the Unknown Regions thousands of years before
him.
He's just the current leader.
As I stated before, Revan heads back to the Unknown Regions shortly after the events of KOTOR 1, leaving all his companions behind, and where his motives go from there are a complete mystery.
But being as powerful as he is, and having walked on both sides of the force in such extreme incarnations, it's highly plausible to surmise that he has either regained his motives prior to being captured and memory-erased by the Jedi in KOTOR 1, or is operating within an entiely new set of goals/principles which may in fact contradict the agenda of the True Sith Empire.
