"What of your littermates, the other Rasi Tuums? Are they…"
"Ahn died by the hands of the Sith, but Zho still lives."
Azlyn Rae and Rasi Tuum[1]

The Cathar Zho, one of the Rasi Tuums, was a Jedi of the New Jedi Order around the time of the Sith–Imperial War. He was born years before into a litter with two other Cathar, Ahn and another known only as Rasi Tuum. All three survived a joint massacre of the Jedi by the One Sith in 130 ABY, but their Order became scattered across the galaxy, and Ahn was slain by Sith agents seven years later during the Second Imperial Civil War. Zho set out into the galaxy to find other surviving Jedi to bring to a Hidden Jedi Temple on the planet Taivas.

Biography[]

"He is currently out in the galaxy, searching for other Jedi to bring here."
―Rasi Tuum, speaking of his littermate Zho and the Jedi's Hidden Temple on Taivas[1]

Zho was a Cathar and one of the Rasi Tuums, a litter that also included Ahn and another known only as Rasi Tuum. He was born[1] years before 130 ABY[3] The three littermates were all sensitive to the Force, and they joined the New Jedi Order[2] prior to 130 ABY.[3] Around that year, Zho had long hair that fell past his shoulders and a short beard. He was similar in appearance to the other Rasi Tuums.[2]

In 130 ABY, during the Sith–Imperial War, the One Sith order scattered the Jedi across the galaxy by attacking their Jedi Temples on the planets Coruscant and Ossus.[4] The three Rasi Tuums were among the survivors of the massacre,[1] but the Sith spent the next seven years actively hunting Jedi down.[5] Although Ahn was killed by Sith agents in 137 ABY in the middle of the Second Imperial Civil War, Zho traveled the galaxy several months after Ahn's death, searching for other surviving Jedi to bring to the safety of a Hidden Jedi Temple on the planet Taivas.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Along with his littermates Ahn and Rasi Tuum, Zho was created by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema for the comic series Star Wars: Legacy. In June 2006, an image of the three Cathar that was simply labeled "Rasi Tuum" appeared in Star Wars: Legacy (2006) 0, a special preview of the series that was published prior to the release of the first issue.[2] One of the Rasi Tuums appeared and was killed in the second issue,[6] and the character was only revealed to be Ahn in issue 25, which was published in 2008 and was also the first source to explicitly mention Zho. Although Azlyn Rae's dialogue referred to Zho and Anh as "the other Rasi Tuums,"[1] no source has indicated if it is part of their names.
