Qui-Gon Jinn

Qui-Gon Jinn, a Force-sensitive human male, was a venerable if maverick Jedi Master who lived during the last years of the Galactic Republic. He was a wise and well-respected member of the Jedi Order, and was offered a seat on the Jedi Council, but chose to reject in order to follow his own path. Adhering to a philosophy centered around the Living Force, Jinn strove to follow the will of the Force even when his actions conflicted with the wishes of the High Council. His ideals drew the interest of Jedi Master Xanye, leading him to become his successor as the Watcher, the guardian of the planet Reylea, which is a highly kept secret due to the planet's immense power in the Force.
A year prior to the Invasion of Naboo, Jinn followed a call from the Force guiding him to the planet Chandrila, where he discovered the orphaned Force-sensitive boy known as Jarik Shan, and brought him to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi. A year later Jinn would also encounter Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine and, convinced he had found the Chosen One, brought him to the Jedi Temple as well. His dying wish was for Skywalker to become a Jedi and ultimately restore balance to the Force.
==History==
Born on the Core World Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic in the year 92 BBY, Jinn eventually learned the ways of the Force as the Padawan of Jedi Master Dooku before ultimately attaining the rank of Jedi Knight. He would go on to take an apprentice of his own, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who adhered to the principles of the Jedi Code more than his own master.
===The Next Watcher===
During his many years as a Jedi, Jinn also came under the tutelage of Jedi Master Xanye in preparation to become his successor in the Order of the Watcher. Reylea, the planet that Watcher's were assigned to protect, was kept so secret that only those who were Watcher's and the Jedi Grand Master ― who was Yoda in Qui-Gon's time ― were aware of its existence. Despite this however, after the Avatar had returned to Reylea in the form of Aang, Jinn discovered that there were other powerful individuals aware of Reylea's existence after a duel with Sireyla, a female Force-sensitive who was trained to use the dark side of the Force. Jinn assisted Aang and his friends in their quest to restore balance to Reylea by ending the Hundred Year War, becoming much of a mentor to them, and took part in the Liberation of Ba Sing Se alongside the Order of the White Lotus.
===Finding Jarik Shan===
Some time after the end of the Hundred Year War, in the year 33 BBY, Jinn received a vision from the Force that directed him to the planet Chandrila. Against the wishes of the Jedi Council, Jinn traveled there and investigated the ruins of a previously ransacked house, concerned at evidence suggesting the possibility of a rogue Force-sensitive being responsible. Jinn then followed a trail leading him to an orphanage in Hanna City, where he discovered an orphaned boy named Jarik Shan, who he could feel was Force-sensitive. Jinn brought the boy to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant where he was successfully inducted into the Jedi Order as a youngling, and came to view the Jedi Master as a father-figure of sorts.
===Invasion of Naboo===
When the Trade Federation initiated a blockade of the Mid Rim planet Naboo in 32 BBY, Jinn and Kenobi were dispatched to resolve the crisis at the request of Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum. Influenced by the mysterious Sith Lord Darth Sidious, the Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Naboo, forcing the Jedi to rescue Queen Padmé Amidala after the fall of Theed.
====Discovery of the Chosen One====
During their journey to the galactic capital, the group was forced to land on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine where Jinn encountered a young slave named Anakin Skywalker. Using a scientific method to gauge the boy's potential, he learned that Skywalker had more midi-chlorians in his blood than any Force-sensitive in galactic history, including Grand Master Yoda. The revelation that he was the result of a miracle birth — a child born of a mother but had no father — confirmed Jinn's suspicion that Skywalker was, in fact, the Chosen One destined to restore balance to the Force. Before departing the desert world with Skywalker, Jinn was confronted by Sidious's Sith apprentice Darth Maul and, although their duel was brief, it convinced Jinn that the Sith Order had returned after a millennium of silence.
At the Temple, Jinn was adamant that Skywalker was the Chosen One and should, therefore, be inducted into the Jedi Order. Having inspected Skywalker for themselves, however, the High Council deemed him too old, emotional, and dangerously full of fear and anger. Jinn saw their decision as a temporary setback but was forced to set aside his plans for Skywalker in order to resolve the situation on Queen Amidala's homeworld.
====Duel of the Fates====
During the Battle of Naboo, Jinn and Kenobi confronted Darth Maul together. While they initially managed to fend off the Sith Lord's attacks, master and apprentice were eventually separated during the lightsaber duel, resulting in Jinn sustaining a mortal injury. Rushing to his Master's aid, Kenobi fought and ultimately defeated the Dathomirian Sith but was unable to save Jinn. With his last breath, Jinn made Kenobi promise that he would take Skywalker as his apprentice. Having secured Kenobi's word, Jinn became one with the Force, dying with the certainty that he had found the prophesied Chosen One.
