Thame Cerulian

Thame Cerulian was a Jedi during the late years of the Old Republic. He studied diligently to become a Consular and specifically took on the role of a Jedi researcher. In 89 BBY, he took on Dooku as his padawan. During this time, however, Thame became completely engrossed in his study of the Dark Side and was convinced the Sith would soon return, if they had not done so already. He devoted himself to finding the truth, neglecting anything else, including his padawan, who was eventually transferred to be trained under Yoda. In 81 BBY, Thame traveled to Ilum, a planet strong with the Force, and entered the Crystal Cave, something usually done only by initiates retrieving their first lightsaber crystal. There he discovered a yellow crystal and, believing it a sign, changed his vocation to that of a Sentinel. By 54 BBY he had become a leader within that branch. He was considered eccentric, even delusional by many of his colleagues, but his dedication was undeniable and he remained tirelessly devoted to discovering the truth of the Sith well into his eighties.
