Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi, also known as Ben Kenobi, is one of the major characters from the Star Wars series.
== Charactah Account ==
Obi-Wan was originally the Padawan learner of maverick Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. After a fateful mission to Naboo to end a blockade enforced by the Trade Federation, Obi-Wan lost his master to the Sith Lord Darth Maul, but gained his own Padawan learner in a Force-sensitive human from Tatooine named Anakin Skywalker. Ten years later, the two were reunited with Naboo senator Padmé Amidala while protecting her from assassins during the Separatist crisis, which erupted into the Clone Wars. During the war, Obi-Wan became one of the leading Jedi generals of the Republic army in addition to being raised to the rank of Jedi Master and granted a seat on the Jedi Council while Anakin became a Jedi Knight and trained a Padawan learner of his own named Ahsoka Tano. At the end of the war, he was one of the few surviving Jedi and went into hiding from the Galactic Empire on Tatooine as a secret guardian of Luke Skywalker, one of the twin children of Anakin, who then served the Emperor as Darth Vader.
During much of his time as a youngling, Kenobi was known to be rebellious and willful, described as breaking the rules laid out by the Jedi left and right. However, throughout much of his early apprenticeship to Qui-Gon Jinn, Kenobi possessed strong fondness for rigid rules and a largely by-the-book attitude when it came to matters such as the Jedi Code. He felt as if he never truly understood his master and yet nevertheless wished to please him and earn his respect. He also had trouble understanding his master's hobbies and interests, such as study of arcane Jedi prophecies. The two later came to realization that Yoda intentionally placed Kenobi with a maverick master in the hope that he would rebel in the only way possible: by attempting to become a model Jedi. Over time, Kenobi would become loyal and dedicated to Jinn, possessing a dry sense of humor and sarcastic wit. Yoda said that he sensed Qui-Gon Jinn's defiance in him, and Jinn himself reflected upon Kenobi's considerable knowledge and potential; he also considered his Padawan a lot wiser than him, if somewhat headstrong. Often seen wise beyond his years, his humble and soft-spoken demeanor belied his warrior prowess. Despite his numerous complaints during flight, and deeply shaken by an experience involving autopursuit in his youth, he was also a skilled pilot. In many ways, he represented the strength of the old Jedi Order: steadfast, selfless, and modest. His later skill at resolving disputes without a single battle would earn him the sobriquet "The Negotiator", at least in the eyes of General Grievous.
Over time, Kenobi lost some of his youthful audacity and assumed the role of a more cautious and conservative mentor to Anakin Skywalker, who was in many ways his opposite in personality. Kenobi carefully measured his actions in any situation, garnering him the aforementioned nom de guerre. Kenobi was also known to be an accomplished storyteller. While hiding in the Jundland Wastes in his later years, he appeared as a kindly and eccentric old hermit (or, in Owen Lars' words, "That wizard is just a crazy old man") to those not familiar with the ways of the Jedi. In his final days, Kenobi retained his traits of patience and foresight as well as gaining some of the boldness reminiscent of his youth.

== Trivia ==
* Obi-wan is nicknamed "The Negotiator" during the Clone Wars due to both his skill at diplomacy and his skills as a Jedi.
* As a Jedi, Obi-Wan represents the strength and benevolence. He explicitly speaks of the virtues of the Light Side of the Force during his confrontation with Darth Maul in "The Lawless". He also tends to wear lighter colored clothing to reflect this.
