Kanan Jarrus

Kanan Jarrus, born Caleb Dume, was a Force-sensitive human male Jedi Padawan who survived Order 66. His master was Depa Billaba. 
After getting caught up with a ragtag rebellious group lead by of Twi'lek pilot, Hera Syndulla, who he would eventually marry, Jarrus would join the Rebellion against the Empire.
In 5227, Jarrus met Ezra Bridger, a fourteen-year-old Force-sensitive Human, whom he decided to mentor.

During the last few days of the war, at age 14, Dume took part of the battle of Kaller, in which Billaba led the Republic forces to victory during the last day of the Clone Wars against the Separatist forces there. 
After the battle Billaba moved her troops to rest in the field under the stars, where Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued Order 66, which branded all Jedi as traitors to the state and called for their immediate execution to Commander Grey. As they felt the slaughter of the Jedi throughout the Force, Dume and his master were confronted by the once-friendly clone troopers. Aware of their disadvantage, Billaba ordered Dume to run. From afar, Dume saw his master be killed under Commander Grey's blaster fire. 
Forced to hide his Force-sensitivity, Dume changed his name to Kanan Jarrus and kept his lightsaber locked away and forsook the Jedi ways for a long time, disguising himself as a freighter pilot, a bounty hunter, and a frontier ranger. 
It was during that time that he met Hera Syndulla when they got involved in a street fight with Charko's gang at Gorse City, but she disappeared before he could find out more about her. He returned to The Asteroid Belt, where he met Zaluna Myder, and Jarrus took part of her secret reunion with Syndulla. When the Empire attacked, Jarrus saved Syndulla, making use of the Force and revealing his true nature to her. After escaping, Syndulla accepted his proposal to become a crew member of her ship, the Ghost.
By the age of 28, Jarrus had become the leader of the motley crew of the Ghost, whose members waged a war of resistance against the Empire. Besides Syndulla, his other companions included Chopper, Garazeb Orrelios, Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger.
10 years later, they were a fully formed part of the Rebel Alliance, working beside Fulcrum, Captain Rex, Commander Wolffe and for a short time, Gregor.
