Kanan Jarrus

Kanan Jarrus, born Caleb Dume was a Force-sensitive human male Jedi Knight who survived Order 66 during the Clone Wars. Living on thanks to the sacrifice of his Master, Depa Billaba on Kaller, he met the smuggler Janus Kasmir, who taught him how to survive as a fugitive. Going into hiding, he forsook the Jedi ways for some time, swapping his blue-bladed lightsaber for a blaster. After working with the Twi'lek rebel operative Hera Syndulla during the Gorse conflict, Jarrus decided to join her nascent rebel cell.
As Syndulla's second-in-command, the two came to develop a romantic relationship. After the Force-sensitive teenager Ezra Bridger joined the Spectres, Jarrus became his Jedi mentor despite still being a Padawan. After defeating the Grand Inquisitor in combat, Jarrus and his fellow rebels learned they were part of a larger rebellion and joined Phoenix Cell. During a mission to Malachor, Jarrus was blinded by the former Sith Lord Maul. After months of retreat, Jarrus restored his connection to the Force and repaired his frayed relationship with Bridger with the help of a mysterious being called Bendu, who taught him to see things through the Force.
The reinvigorated Jarrus and his fellow rebels would continue fighting various adversaries including Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn and Maul, who sought to corrupt Bridger and destroy Obi-Wan Kenobi, the key to destroying the Sith. Regaining his confidence, Jarrus also taught the Mandalorian rebel Sabine Wren how to wield the Darksaber and helped her to rally the Mandalorians over to the rebel cause. As the Rebel Alliance escalated its struggle with the Empire, Kanan and his fellow rebels returned to free Lothal, a world which they had a special connection with.
Jarrus eventually met his death around one year before the Battle of Yavin on Lothal, during the rescue of Hera Syndulla after Governor Arihnda Pryce ordered her walkers to fire on the fuel pod they were on, sacrificing himself to allow his fellow rebels to escape. Following Jarrus' death, he became a part of the Cosmic Force, manifesting as a huge loth-wolf named Dume, which appeared to Ezra several times. Later, Hera gave birth to their son, whom she named Jacen.
When Ezra reappeared on Earth in 2018, Jarrus' spirit followed him offering bits of advice as needed. He appeared as Dume on the planet Onyx after Ezra had been kidnapped and taken to the planet by agents of Grinta the Hutt where he took Grinta's agents by surprise as members of the Spectres stormed the warehouse Ezra was being held in. He also played a role in getting abused teenager Darius Carpenter who Kanan discovered was the Great-Grandson of Jedi Master Mace Windu to Ezra unaware that New York City Police Department Detective Jamal Wilkins had made the same suggestion. While watching over the Spectres, he encountered the spirit of fallen Jedi Master Bryan Khayman who was keeping watch over the team of Remnant Officers he had put together and noted that both teams had done great things on their own and had done even greater things when they worked together such as rescuing Darius from his abusive home. The two were later joined by the spirit of Jedi Master Mace Windu after Darius showed signs of being Force-Sensitive himself and a trace of Darius' paternity revealed that he was in fact related to Windu as Darius continued to grow stronger in The Force.
In visions of a possible future shown to Jacen and Ezra by Kanan, Darius and Lucy Felth have named their first child Caleb as a way of paying homage to Kanan's role in bringing them together. Like Darius, Caleb is shown to be Force-Sensitive. Kanan also mentions that Darius may be the Jedi Order of Earth's Wild Card as Darth Sidious seemed unaware of Darius until Darius activated Windu's Lightsaber and joined Josh Myers is destroying Sidious for good. Kanan also reveals that Darius has also become a teacher himself never forgetting how Ezra and Kanan had saved his life. Kanan also provides advice to Darius when Darius finds one of his own students (Keisha Banks) in a similar situation and convinces Ezra to visit Darius in Philadelphia while shooing Khayman away after Khayman makes a suggestion that Mace feels could push Darius towards the Dark Side. At one point, it is hinted that Mace had tried to have Dume bite Khayman to no avail after Darius suggests it to Mace due to Khayman's encouragement of Caleb's misuse of The Force.
When Jacen moved to Philadelphia in 2031 to run the expansion of Noah Rodgers' soup business to the city, Kanan begins spending time around Jacen. He began sleeping at Jacen's front door as Dume in 2032 when Jacen takes in homeless teenager and witness in an upcoming murder trial Shaun McCutchen at the request of Lucy keeping watch over the neighborhood in case anyone tries to come after Shaun. Jacen later tells Shaun and Mira Syndulla that Dume's presence also seems to be serving as a deterrent to other crime being committed in the neighborhood. His spirit was later present at the births of Joseph and Jessica Felth which prompted a complaint from Tevin Felth to Typher Marlion about Ezra Bridger finding out about the event before he did along with a brief discussion about an incident in which Dume had chased away a bunch of gang members who were later arrested by Eric Schuyler and Jason Oliver on an assortment of charges.
