Hunt for Obi-Wan

The hunt for Obi-Wan was a hunt the Inquisitorius began for the fugitive Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as part of the Great Jedi Purge in 9 BBY. Reva Sevander, the Third Sister, arranged for the capture of the young Leia Organa to draw Kenobi out after learning of his connection to Leia's adoptive father, Bail Prestor Organa, during the Clone Wars. In truth, Sevander sought to use Kenobi as a means to get closer to Darth Vader, whom she wanted to kill for wiping out her fellow Jedi Initiates in the siege of the Jedi Temple.
As a Jedi, Kenobi was wanted for the charge of high treason against the Empire and its predecessor, the Galactic Republic, as issued by Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine. During the mission to Daiyu, a bounty was issued on Kenobi that would be paid upon confirmation of his capture. Despite the efforts of bounty hunters, stormtroopers, Sevander, and Vader, Kenobi regained his connection to The Force and triumphed against the forces of the Empire. The hunt was eventually called off by Palpatine, who warned his apprentice that if he continued to seek revenge against his former master and could not overcome his past, something would have to be done. Upon hearing this, Vader claimed that Kenobi meant nothing to him and reaffirmed his allegiance to his Sith Master. 
==Prelude==
Following the Battle of Naboo, Obi-Wan Kenobi had agreed to teach Anakin Skywalker, a young boy from Tatooine and the prophesied Chosen One of the Force, and take him on as his Padawan in accordance with the dying wish of his Master Qui-Gon Jinn who had died dueling the Zabrak Sith Lord Darth Maul. Over the years, both Obi-Wan and Anakin had grown close with Obi-Wan considering Anakin to be a brother of his, however Anakin would fall to the dark side in 19 BBYStar Wars: Timelines and would help carry out the start of the Jedi Purge by leading an attack on the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in Operation: Knightfall, commanding the clone troopers of the 501st Legion. During Order 66, Obi-Wan would survive after narrowly escaping death on Utapau after being fired upon by an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer and would regroup with Yoda where, upon breaking into the Jedi Temple, both Jedi Masters discovered that Anakin had carried out the attack on the temple, murdering several of the Jedi in the temple, and had become a Sith Lord. Horrified at the revelation, Obi-Wan was sent to Mustafar to confront Anakin while Yoda chose to confront Darth Sidious.
Obi-Wan would end up dueling his former apprentice on the firey world and would ultimately emerge victorious with Anakin losing his other arm and both of his legs, being left to burn in the lava while Obi-Wan left the planet with a hurt and dying Padmé Amidala. Darth Vader would survive his severe injuries and would be found by Sidious who brought him to the Grand Republic Medical Facility on Coruscant where he was given a life support suit to survive and would finalize the birth of Darth Vader in the process as he took Sidious' side as his Sith apprentice. Shortly before Padme's death, she would give birth to twin children; Luke and Leia. Seeking to keep the twins safe, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Bail Prestor Organa agreed to have the twins split up until the time was right with Obi-Wan taking Luke to Tatooine to be raised by the Lars family while Leia was adopted by the House of Organa on Alderaan.
During the siege of the Jedi Temple, Jedi Initiate Reva Sevander, along with her clan, were attacked while being trained by Jedi Master Minas Velti by clone troopers. Master Velti was able to protect the initiates, however she would eventually fall, leaving Reva and the other younglings on their own and forced to escape the temple themselves. During their ventures, Reva and the other younglings ran into Anakin Skywalker where he would soon cut them down with Reva being stabbed by his lightsaber. While the other younglings had died, Reva had survived and would manage to escape and get cybernetic replacements to treat her injuries. The Jedi survivor soon developed a deep sense of survivor's guilt and lead her to fall to the dark side.Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion: The Visual Guide Reva would desire revenge against Anakin, now Darth Vader and Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Military, and joined the Inquisitorius, a group of Jedi hunters tasked with eliminating all surviving Jedi, in order to get close to Vader in order to kill him. She would be accepted and be granted the title of Third Sister, though she was only accepted into the ranks of the Inquisitorius by the Grand Inquisitor due to her dark side ability, despite viewing her as the "least among them" due to her coming from "the gutter".
