In the novelization of the movie, Ben tells Luke that he and Darth/Anakin had a fight, a Vader fell into a molten pit. When he climbed out, he was completely evil, the last good having vanished (or been burned away). That is the reason why 1) his head was so scarred and ugly in TESB, and 2) he has to alway the breath mask. He needs the portable life support system -- which regulates both breathing and heart rate -- in order to stay alive. Arnold Robbins decvax!cornell!allegra!gatech!arnold
