Tarsus Valorum/Legends

"To win a world, you must win the hearts and mind of its people."

- Valorum to Johun Othone

Tarsus Valorum was Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic during and immediately following the conclusion of the New Sith Wars, and was responsible for enacting the Ruusan Reformation. He was the first non-Jedi Chancellor to govern the Republic in four hundred years, and only took the position after Valenthyne Farfalla, who had been considered for it, declined in order to join the Ruusan campaign.

He was a member, possibly the progenitor, of the influential House Valorum of Coruscant.

Shortly after the end of the New Sith Wars, he organised the separation of the Army of Light with Farfalla. He was re-elected as Chancellor for a second term, and was a popular figurehead, renowned for bringing in a golden age for the Republic. Even after his term of office ended, he was a prominent Republic ambassador, visiting many worlds to re-establish their ties and improve galactic relations with unsettled planets, including Serenno.
