**Kanan Jarrus**(born **Caleb Dume**and codename **Spectre 1**) was a Jedi Knight, the Jedi Master and father figure of Ezra Bridger, lover of Hera Syndulla, father of Jacen Syndulla, and the deuteragonist of Star Wars Rebels.

## 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 found that the boy was just like him, however when it became apparent he was Force sensitive, Kanan decided to take the boy under his wing as his apprentice. However, he still doubted his skills as a teacher until they encountered the Grand Inquisitor and realized he had to learn to be a master as much as Ezra had to learn to be a Jedi.
