Thon

Jedi Master Thon. Thon was of an ancient species, and it is unknown whether he originated from the planet Ambria or not although this is where he eventually set up residence. He was the Jedi Watchman of the Stennes System keeping the dark forces at work on Ambria at bay. This is where the young Nomi Sunrider found him, delivering a box of Adegan crystals which her husband Andur Sunrider was to deliver (but could not as he was killed by criminals). At this time Thon was teaching a young humanoid; Oss Willum the ways of the force, and after Nomi explained to the jedi her plight and watched as Master Thon rescued his apprentice from the goons of Bogga the Hutt Thon took her and her daughter Vimaup as apprentice's. Nomi was a quick learner and was soon taught by Thon to master her skill of Battle Meditation. After a visit from Tott Doneeta pupil of Jedi Master Arca who explained about the Freedon Nadd Uprising Thon realised that Nomi would be of great use to the Order of the Jedi Knights. He would then often take her off into the desert and teach her the ways of the force, trying to convince her that it would be wise of her to start constructing a lightsabre. In one of these lessons Thon showed Nomi a Holocron in which Master Ood Bnar revealed to her the history of the Jedi. Eventually Thon managed to get Nomi to use a lightsabre (his own) when Bogga's mercernaries attacked him, and he sacrificed himself, allowing the guards to capture him. 'The lightsabre is the weapon of the Jedi, You are a Jedi' he cried, finally convincing his apprentice to use the weapon by getting her to realise who she was.
