Revan and HOT run the Gauntlet

If you believe Act II and III leave room for that, sure. Personally I don't, with a half a year max.

Not true. Power alone can be a way to break such entrapments, and Revan and Malak showed no signs of still following Vitiate's orders while reigning as Darths. While Vitiate may have had some way in the way they thought at first, ultimately Revan and Malak struck out on their own, even when only causing destruction, Malak never revealed where the Star Forge was, which was their MO.

Emperor Vitiate can enforce his will on any individual whom he have broken and established telepathic bond with. These individuals remain his unwitting pawns throughout unless they managed to break free.

Malak and Revan thought they were acting on their own accord, this doesn't implies that they were free from Emperor's influence. Revan's freedom was a product of circumstances but Malak remained under Emperor's influence.

Legend is right about Revan and Malak still being under his control, but wrong about the time of the HoT's enslavement.

Half a year isn't a long time? 😬

And if Revan and Malak were still under Vitiate's control:

1. Why didn't Vitiate know where the Star Forge was?(the reason he sent them in the first place)
2. Why didn't Vitiate know where the Foundry was?(another reason)
3. Why did Revan knowingly avoid any type of lasting damage to the Republic?
4. Warn Kreia about the true threat even while Darth Revan, he returned to Kreia soon after reentering Republic space?

I'm sure there's more. While Vitiate had a certain level of influence before, he no longer had control over Revan or Malak, nor their actions. They began to act independently in opposition to him. Considering these things are either supported in TOR or not overwritten, it's hardly PIS. It's just the fact that Vitiate couldn't handle controlling either of them so far away from where they were and with their level of willpower. Of course, you put Vitiate so well above just about anyone, you probably doubt anyone with a fixed midichlorian count could somehow escape his will without the help of an immortal.

HoT remained under Emperor's influence for years actually.

Revan didn't break free from Emperor's influence, he reduced its impact over him. His break from it was the result of mindwipe performed by the Jedi High Council.

Revan's and Malak actions contradict that statement.

They probably clear. The first fight and the last fight appear to be the hardest.

I honestly feel the order of the gauntlet is not entirely balanced, but overall Revan would clear the gauntlet due to getting rest between each fight.
