Tho ' natu was a Force - sensitive male Twi ' lek who served in the Jedi Order during the final days of the New Sith Wars . As a Jedi Knight , he joined the Army of Light and fought in the Ruusan campaign , the final campaign of the war . Before the Seventh Battle of Ruusan , however , Tho ' natu was assigned to Jedi Master Valenthyne Farfalla ' s gunship , the " Fairwind " , and thus survived the catastrophic detonation of a thought bomb , a deadly Force power that the Brotherhood of Darkness used in a failed attempt to destroy the Army of Light . By 990 BBY , ten years after the war , Tho ' natu had been granted the rank of Jedi Master . In that year , a message drone was sent to the Jedi , alerting them to the presence of a helpless , grievously injured Sith Lord under the care of the healer Caleb on the planet Ambria . Realizing that this must refer to the Sith Lord after whom Lord Farfalla and four other Jedi had recently hunted on Tython — a mission from which they did not return — the Jedi High Council assembled a team led by Tho ' natu , consisting of five other Jedi Masters and eight Jedi Knights . Aboard the Jedi cruiser " Light of Truth " , Thon ' atu led the team to Ambria to arrest the Sith Lord . Upon arriving , Tho ' natu and his team of Jedi found the brutally mutilated remains of Caleb ' s corpse outside the healer ' s hut . As the Jedi approached the abode , Tho ' natu announced their presence , claiming that they had arrived to help . They were abruptly attacked by the maniacal former Padawan Darovit , and Tho ' natu and the other Jedi quickly struck him down . Tho ' natu then entered Caleb ' s hut , where he found five lightsaber hilt s , which he assumed were taken as trophies from the five Jedi who had been killed on Tython . Observing that Darovit had a missing hand and that he was in possession of a golden lightsaber identical to Farfalla ' s , Tho ' natu assumed incorrectly that Darovit was the Sith Lord whom Farfalla and the others had hunted . He surmised that Darovit had killed them , but had been grievously injured and had gone to Caleb for help after driving himself insane by attempting to heal himself with the dark side . Tho ' natu then assumed that Caleb had sent the message to the Jedi , but that Darovit had found out and killed the healer in retaliation . Mistakenly believing the Sith to finally be obliterated from the galaxy , Tho ' natu and the other Jedi returned to the galactic capital of Coruscant , taking with them the stolen lightsabers , so that they could be kept in the Jedi Temple , as well as Caleb ' s remains , so that he could be given a proper funeral . A monument was later created in the Jedi Temple on which the names of Caleb and the Jedi killed on Tython were commemorated . However , unbeknownst to Tho ' natu , Darovit ' s cousin — the Sith apprentice Darth Zannah — had killed Caleb and driven Darovit insane so that he would attack the Jedi when they arrived . She had then concealed the presences of herself and her Master , Darth Bane — the true Sith Lord to whom the message actually referred — and hidden in a small trapdoor inside Caleb ' s hut . As Tho ' natu reported the final destruction of the Sith to the Jedi Council upon his return to Coruscant , Zannah ' s plan to keep the survival of the Sith Order a secret was completed .
