Biography

Youth in the Graf dynasty

"Been cast out from the bosom of the clan for a somewhat regrettable series of youthful misdemeanors"

―Tilson Graf

During his youth, a series of misdemeanors led to his family casting him out. Though Tilson later regretted his indiscretions, he wasn't really sorry for being cast out of the family, because it meant he was able to escape his family's meetings and responsibilities.

Summit on Jedha

"I'm here to witness the signing of the peace treaty between Eiram and E'ronoh. You could say I'm something of a collector of historic events and I have a sense this is going to be really quite a momentous occasion."

―Tilson Graf

Around 382 BBY, Tilson traveled to Jedha to witness the summit on Jedha. He liked to think of himself as a collector of historic events and was certain that the peace treaty between Eiram and E'ronoh would be a momentous occasion. After mediator Morton San Tekka died in a bomb attack, Tilson offered himself to take Morton's place. With the blessing of both ambassadors Tintak and Lian Cerox, chairperson Meldan appointed Tilson as mediator.
