**Kanan Jarrus** (born **Caleb Dume**) was a Jedi Knight, the Jedi Master and father figure of Ezra Bridger, lover of Hera Syndulla, father of Jacen Syndulla. Throughout his appearances, Kanan was the deuteragonist of *Star Wars Rebels,* the main  protagonist of *Kanan: The Last Padawan*, and one of the two main protagonists of *A New Dawn* with Hera Syndulla, and a very minor character in *The Rise of Skywalker*.

## Background

Never knowing his parents, Kanan Jarrus was born Caleb Dume. As with all the Younglings, young Caleb Dume was taught by Yoda, Grandmaster of the Jedi Order and was once classmates with Ahsoka Tano. When he earned the rank of Padawan, Caleb became the apprentice of Depa Billaba. Together, the two fought together side by side in the Clone Wars with the Clone Troopers under their command. However, when Palpatine issued Order 66, turning all the troopers against Caleb and Depa. Depa urged Caleb to run while she held them off, promising to be right behind him. However, Caleb watched as his Master was gunned down by the men who once served her. Taking his own lightsaber, Caleb survived Order 66 but with extreme guilt that his master died protecting him. Having to keep his identity as a former Jedi Padawan a secret, Caleb discarded his Padawan braid and formed a partnership with Janus Kasmir before finally leaving and calling himself Kanan Jarrus. He had to hide his Force-sensitivity.

Before the series, Kanan met Hera Syndulla, daughter of Clone Wars hero Cham Syndulla and her Droid C1-10P (called Chopper).

=== Personality ===Before he became a Padawan, young Caleb Dume wanted to become the apprentice of Depa Billaba, despite his so-called friends putting doubt that she would ever chose him as a Padawan. Caleb was always curious and inquisitive towards Depa, who would sometimes tease him about. However, when order 66 was enacted, Caleb became hardened from the experience due to the loss of his Master, who sacrificed herself so Caleb could live. He would not understand about sacrificing to save those he cared about until his later adulthood. After his time as a pirate, Caleb became known as "Kanan Jarrus," a young man who cut himself off from the Force using the method "Force-stealth." He remained elusive and secretive and told no one of his Jedi heritage.

Before he met Hera, Kanan was both a drunk and a womanizer, flirting with a bunch of other women. However, when he fell in love with her, he changed into a better person, even saving her with the Force. After her misison on Gorse, he turned his back on his old ways and joined the Ghost crew. When Zeb and Sabine joined the group, Kanan revealed his identity as a Jedi to his teammates when he trusted them and became the father figure of the *Ghost* crew.

Upon first meeting Ezra Bridger, Kanan decided to take the boy under his wing as his apprentice. However, he still doubted his skills as a teacher due to his limited training. However, when they first encountered the Grand Inquisitor, Kanan realized he had to learn to be a master as much as Ezra had to learn to be a Jedi. Apart from this, Kanan was a fatherly figure for Ezra, often giving him advice and support. However he initially struggled to be a teacher due to not passing his own Jedi training when they first encountered the Grand Inquisitor, Kanan realized he had to learn to be a master as much as Ezra had to learn to be a Jedi. Later, he desired to protect Ezra from falling to the dark side, which was his greatest fear. He also mentored Sabine, who became something of a daughter figure towards him and helped her overcome her dark past when he taught her train with the Darksaber. He was one of the few individuals to get along with Chopper and often get Zeb to behave himself.

After becoming blind, Kanan distanced himself from his
