- "The best blades are kept in their sheaths."
- ―Culoph
Culoph was an individual who served as a Sky Judge on the planet Tython before the founding of the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. The individual was renowned for being a legendary swordsman who had many victories during wartime.[2] After the end of the New Sith Wars and the Ruusan Reformation, Culoph was quoted by Jedi Battlemaster Skarch Vaunk in a guidebook called The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force when Vaunk was explaining the tenets of Form "Zero", which emphasized a Jedi's ability to seek non-violent methods to end a conflict.[1] During the Clone Wars, Jedi Grand Master Yoda quoted the Sky Judge during a conversation with Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi regarding the Republic's war with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[2]
