tamsii

Tamsii is a fictional character from the *Star Wars* expanded universe, appearing primarily in the *Legacy* series of novels. Created by author James Luceno, Tamsii is a prominent figure in the *Star Wars: The Old Republic* video game and its associated lore, serving as a key antagonist in the game’s *Knights of the Fallen Empire* expansion.

Tamsii is a former Jedi Knight and a member of the ancient Order of the Whills, a secretive group dedicated to preserving the balance between the Force and the Sith. She is depicted as a highly skilled warrior, master of both lightsaber combat and the Force, with a deep understanding of the Sith’s dark side. Her backstory involves a tragic past, including the loss of her Jedi mentor and the corruption of her former comrades, which fuels her complex motivations.

In *Star Wars: The Old Republic*, Tamsii is portrayed as a ruthless enforcer of the Whills’ will, often clashing with the player character and other Jedi. Her actions are driven by a belief in the necessity of extreme measures to prevent the rise of the Sith, even if it means betraying allies or violating Jedi principles. Her character embodies themes of moral ambiguity, sacrifice, and the blurred line between light and dark.

Tamsii’s lore extends beyond *The Old Republic*, influencing later *Legacy* novels such as *Tarkin* and *Thrawn*. While her direct appearances are limited, her legacy as a tragic figure and a symbol of the Whills’ ideals persists in the expanded universe. Her character has been praised for adding depth to the *Star Wars* mythology, particularly in exploring the philosophical and ethical dilemmas faced by Jedi and Sith alike.
