History

Thurius was taken from Cerea at a young age to be trained at the Jedi Academy on Coruscant. He was a headstrong youngling but Master Dorson saw his potential and trained him to focus on his combat skills and become closer to the force through strict combat technique. Thurius enjoyed his training and sparring with his fellow students, often upsetting many with his skill and proud nature. He passed his trials splendidly and came to be a valuable asset to the order. He found a close friend in a Selkath Jedi Consular, Sotah, who's skills often complemented his own on assignments. Thurius was eager to train his own padawan and found a young Cathar student named Mykles who he felt possessed the same spirit and ability he had. However, Thurius pushed Mykles very hard, wanting him to be his very best. However, Mykles was killed by gang members in the lower city while on an assignment with his master. Thurius blamed himself for Mykles death as he had suggested that Mykles should venture away from him to test his willpower. Thurius did not take on another apprentice for several years, fearing the same fate. However, he came across an Ithorian manoeuvring large rocks during meditation in the Temple grounds. He saw a talent he recognised in his good friend Sotah. He took the Ithorian, Bomoor, on as his apprentice so he could nurture the individual talent he could sense in the young Jedi rather than force his own abilities and trials onto another. He took his new apprentice on assignments, often alongside Sotah and his second apprentice, Thane. Eventually, both their apprentices were knighted and Thurius was given the opportunity to join the Jedi High council - a great honour for the Cerean and one he intended to make full use of.
