Thon

"It is not simply enough to know the light...a Jedi must feel the tension between the two sides of the Force...in himself and in the universe"

- Thon

Thon was a mysterious and reclusive Tchuukthai Jedi Master. He was the Jedi Watchman of the Stenness system, keeping the dark forces at work on Ambria at bay, and 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).

Biography


A Jedi Master befriended Thon and later instructed him in the Jedi arts. Thon later became a Jedi Master himself around the time of the Great Sith War. At this time Thon was teaching a young Vultan, Oss Wilum the ways of the Force, and after Nomi explained to the Jedi of her plight, and watched as Master Thon rescued his apprentice from the goons of Bogga the Hutt, Thon took her and her daughter Vima as his apprentices.

Nomi was a quick learner and was soon taught by Thon to master her skill of battle meditation. After a visit from Tott Doneeta, the pupil of Jedi Master Arca Jeth, who explained about the Naddist Uprising, Thon realized that Nomi would be of great use to the Order of the Jedi Knights.

During her training he would 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 lightsaber.

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 let himself be captured by Bogga's mercenaries in order to get Nomi to use a lightsaber and accept her Jedi heritage.

The taciturn Thon refused to acknowledge scientific or curious inquiries into his origins. Even the Jedi did not know his origins as Thon had reputedly arrived on Ossus already trained in the Jedi Arts, and taught the assembled Jedi Masters several unknown techniques. Thon responded to such questioning with deep guttural growling and snarling that translated as "It is better that you do not know - at least not yet."

In 3,986 BBY he attended the Conclave of Exis Station.
