Tholme was a male Jedi Master who trained Quinlan Vos.
Tholme was a member of the Jedi Order and became a Jedi Master prior to the First Battle of Geonosis, taking on Quinlan Vos as his Padawan learner. Vos would go onto become a Jedi Master as well. Tholme was also an associate to Aayla Secura, a Jedi who was trained by Vos as his own Padawan.
According to one conspiracy theory, during the Clone Wars, Tholme sent a contingent of ARC troopers to investigate a Separatist on Ossus. The unit allegdly infiltrated the base and recovered numerous artifacts before calling in an airstrike.
At some point during the war, Tholme fought in a military engagement between the Grand Army of the Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, having been assigned to partake in the battle by the Jedi High Council. His apprentice wished to accompany him, but the Council had assigned him to another mission. During the battle, Tholme engaged in a duel with the Sith apprentice Asajj Ventress, an agent of the Confederate leader Count Dooku. Though a close match, it was Ventress who prevailed, and Tholme was killed. Vos became enraged after learning of his master's demise.
In 19 BBY, Vos fell in love with Ventress after she had been expelled from her service to Dooku, whom the pair had been ordered to assassinate by the Jedi Council. Unaware that Ventress had killed Tholme, Vos would later uncover the truth after being captured by Dooku who claimed that Ventress acted against his orders to kill Tholme in an attempt to lure Vos to the dark side.
Tholme wielded a green-bladed lightsaber.

He originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, being created by author John Ostrander for the Star Wars: Republic comic book series; the character first appeared in a 2001 story arc entitled Darkness.
