Tahl

Tahl was the first Jedi Master of Bant Eerin. Tahl was also a close friend of Qui-Gon Jinn, with whom she fell in love. She was blinded in a prison during a mission on Melida/Daan. However, her improved hearing and force-sensitivity helped her get back on her feet.

Biography
Tahl was sent to act as a peacemaker to the broken world of Melida/Daan, where the Melida and Daan people are murdering each other. She was rescued by Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi from Melida/Daan after she was blinded by the blow of a lightsaber.

Tahl was killed by a ruthless Balog on New Apsolon in 41 BBY, Qui-Gon arriving too late to save her.

After she was killed, Kit Fisto became Bant's new Master.

She had an immense knowledge of galactic history, politics, and the backstory of practically everything and anything going on in the Galaxy. It is possible that Tahl discovered the secret to immortality in the Force along with Qui-Gon from the Whills. Proof of this comes from when Qui-Gon heard her voice warning him to beware of the dark side following her death.
