Tarsus Valorum was a member of House Valorum who served as the first Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, following the fall of the Old Republic, and the Galactic Republic's restructuring. The galaxy left a dark age under Valorum's rule, in which the Sith were defeated by the Jedi Order. While presiding as Chancellor, the Galactic Senate was created, and the military which previously existed had been disbanded. As a result of the new Republic's creation, the populations of the Core Worlds became eager to expand their reach into the Outer Rim Territories.
Finis Valorum, the penultimate Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, was a direct descendant of Tarsus.
Tarsus Valorum was the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic during and after the New Sith Wars in Star Wars Legends
Tarsus Valorum was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in the 2014 novel Tarkin, written by James Luceno, which identified him as the first Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.
