Kanan Wilkins

Kanan Nicholas Wilkins is the son of Jamal Wilkins and LaToya Simmons. He was delivered prematurely via at in Philadelphia during the Spring of 2033 after LaToya had been shot by the estranged father of her other son Tyreek and later died during surgery following the procedure to save Kanan. Much drama ensued over the fate o the then-unnamed baby as a Social Worker wanted to hand the baby (and Tyreek) over to Pennsylvania Child Welfare authorities despite Jamal claiming paternity, Lucy Carpenter confirming that Jamal was the baby's father, and Donna Marlion stating that the baby was nowhere near ready to leave the hospital citing a number of medical reasons. Jamal eventually took a DNA test which confirmed to the three women and Michael Myers that Jamal was in fact the baby's father. After being allowed to see his baby, Jamal asked that the baby be tested for Force-sensitivity which Myers agreed would be in everyone's best interests adding that the same test would be given to Tyreek based upon his statements to Lucy about the presence of Kanan Jarrus's spirit at the Simmons home in the form of Dume the Loth-wolf. Once the results of the tests came back that the two children were Force-Sensitive, Jamal was asked to give the baby a name before he returned to New York City. After talking to Lucy and Michael, he named the baby Kanan Nicholas after Jarrus who was suspected of playing a role in making sure the baby survived and Nick Franklin who had been Jamal's last partner during his days at the New York City Police Department and giving the baby his last name.
A few months later, Jamal took Kanan home to New York after Donna made arrangements for Kanan's continued care. While Jamal was in Philadelphia, Lucy contacted her mom Kelly Felth who teamed up with Kelsey Myers to get Michael and Tevin Felth to help them prepare Jamal's apartment for Kanan's arrival with the four also telling Jamal that they would help him if he needed it and reminding him of his role in the Spectres. On Christmas of 2033, Janal introduced Kanan to Tyreek with Caleb Carpenter adding that Kanan seemed to know he was surrounded by people who cared about him.
