**Kanan Jarrus**(codename **Spectre-1**) is the deuteragonist of the animated television series, *Star Wars Rebels* and the main protagonist of both *Kanan* and *A New Dawn*. He is a Jedi survivor of Order 66 and led a motley crew called the Spectres and former Padawan of Depa Billaba.

Before the series, Kanan was **Caleb Dume**, the Padawan of Depa Billaba before Order 66. He met Hera Syndulla, daughter of Clone Wars hero Cham Syndulla and her Droid C1-10P (called Chopper). Soon, they were joined by the Lasat, Garazeb Orrelios and the Mandalorian girl, Sabine Wren and Lothalite boy, Ezra Bridger, whom Kanan and took him in as a Jedi Padawan.

## Background

### Training as a Padawan

    Born Caleb Dume, he was strong with the Force and taken to Coruscant, where he was raised as a Jedi and, according to Kanan, never knew his parents. With all the Younglings, young Caleb Dume was taught by Yoda, Grandmaster of the Jedi Order and was once classmates with Ahsoka Tano, whom he briefly sparred with when she was Anakin's Padawan. He first met his Master, Depa Billaba, when she was submerged in the bacta tank after being severely injured in battle. Caleb immediately felt a connection to Depa, enough to wake her from her coma. Since then, Caleb hoped to become her apprentice when he reached the rank of Padawan, and was more motivated when he learned she did not have one. Caleb passed his trials, as well as his friends Uzuma and Quid. Caleb attended classes led by Jocasta Nu, where Masters chose their Padawans, and one by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who Caleb had given the idea to light a beacon for Jedi not to return to the Jedi Temple.

When Caleb told his "friends" that he wanted to become her apprentice, they found it highly unlikely and told him that she was still damaged from a defeat on Haruun Kai. Caleb went to Depa and asked her what had happened. As their conversation went on, it was interrupted by Rackham Sear, a captain of the Confederacy of Independant Systems, who was planting bombs. However, Depa saved Caleb from the upcoming explosion, but the CIS captain decided to committ suicide. Impressed with Caleb, she asked him to become her apprentice, and he accepted; however, one of Caleb's friends warned him he wouldn't be safe with her; However, Caleb refused and accepted becoming Depa's Padawan to get a kyber crystal for his new lightsaber.

Together, the two fought 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, who urged her Padawan 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; however, Caleb was forced to flee.

### Following his own path

Only left with his lightsaber, Caleb survived Order 66 but with extreme guilt that his master died protecting him. He formed a partnership with Janus Kasmir, who advised Caleb to go incognito. Following the pirate's advice, Kanan cut off his Padawan braid and locked his lightsaber away while also abandoning the ways of the Jedi. Kanan ended his partnership with Kasmir after he had saved him from two members of Caleb's former battalion. Stealing a ship, Caleb Dume was reborn as Kanan Jarrus after finally deciding to follow his own path.

Despite being under the mentorship of Okadiah Garson, Kanan often drank alcohol and became a womanizer. However, his life changed when she met Hera Syndulla, who was investigating the planet Gorse due to the villainous crimes of the Count Vidian. During the mission, Kanan revealed his Force-sensitivity to Hera when he saved her from attacks from the enemy ship, the *Ultimatum*. Afterwards, Hera promised not to reveal his nature to Kanan after he became a member of the *Ghost* crew, eventually meeting Garazeb Orrelios, who Kanan had found, and Sabine Wren, who became the Fourth and Fifth Spectre of the *Ghost* crew.

## 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 never chose him as a Padawan. Caleb was always curious and inquisitive towards Depa, who would sometimes tease him of this trait. However, when Order 66 was enacted, he 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, eventually becoming self-centered

Before he met Hera, Kanan was both a drunk and a womanizer, a trait he becamed ashamed of. However, when he fell in love with her, he changed his ways to become a better person, even saving her with the Force. After her misison on Gorse, Kanan 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 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. During their time as Master and Padawan, Kanan became something of a father figure for Ezra and became fiercely protective of him, such as saving Ezra from a pair of bounty hunters.

## Star Wars Rebels

### *Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion*

While Kanan and his crew were stealing crates of food and blasters from the Empire, he sensed the presence of another Force-sensitive: Lothalite teenager Ezra Bridger, who also robbed the Empire shortly after Kanan and his friends took out the Imperials on charge of guarding the supplies. Kanan and Zeb chased Ezra and the former cornered the boy on his way Back to his tower while Zeb reluctantly agreed with Kanan to return to the *Ghost*. Kanan told Ezra to surrender the crate he stole, but Ezra was able to escape him when a TIE fighter attacked them. After being picked up by Hera on the *Ghost*, Kanan came to Ezra's rescue for the first time, saving him from a TIE fighter attacking him and offering Ezra a ride. Having no other option, and several TIEs coming inbound, he followed with Kanan's suggestion. The former Jedi unwittingly witnessed Ezra using the Force by jumping on the ramp of the *Ghost* with a heavy crate. After Kanan left Sabine and Zeb in charge of Ezra, he went into the cockpit and explained to Hera what had just transpired as they tried flying away from the TIEs. Impressed, Hera came to suspect Ezra was Force-sensitive because Kanan explained to her how the boy held onto a crate. However, Kanan refused to believe it and said the only reason Ezra was able to hold onto the crate was because he was there to save him. Soon, he looked back and saw that Ezra was gone and asked Zeb and Sabine where he went. Though Zeb put Ezra in one of the containment units, the boy had already escaped, easily frustrating Kanan and the crew. However, Hera began to see how much Ezra was like Kanan, but the Jedi dismissed her, deciding to worry about the kid later. Instead, he went to fire at the dome guns of the Ship, buying Hera enough time to finally escape the TIEs and leaving Lothal, taking Ezra with them.

When the *Ghost* returned to the planet, Kanan and Hera went to deal with pirate and crime lord Cikatro Vizago, delivering the crates of blasters. Vizago gave Kanan and Hera half of the credits they needed with information of where the empire was taking a bunch of Wookiees slaves. With new information, Kanan was alerted by Chopper that Ezra broke into his room. He found Ezra was in his home holding his lightsaber before he proceeded in kicking the boy out and taking his lightsaber back, but Ezra also stole Kanan's holocron. However, Kanan was aware that the holocron was in Ezra's possession and hoped to secretly test if Bridger really did have Force-sensitivity.

Taking Vizago's knowledge, Kanan began preparing an operation to rescue the Wookies and briefing his crew on the mission, but they found Ezra was eavesdropping. Hera decided to keep an eye on him while Kanan took Sabine, Zeb and Chopper on the transport where the Wookies supposedly were at. Though they couldn't fool two Stormtroopers that Zeb was a rare, hairless Wookiee, the Lasat knocked them out. As they boarded the ship, Kanan and Zeb went to where the Wookiees were supposedly being held: however they were unaware it was a trap set up for them by the Empire. Ezra, after being convinced by Hera, warned Zeb and Kanan that it was a trap, and they found it true when they found Stormtroopers on the other side. Though Kanan and the crew was able to escape, Ezra was captured by ISB agent. The crew began to argue whether or not if they should save him, with Zeb and Sabine unsure if they should save a kid that they hardly knew. Kanan sided with Hera and Chopper. Kanan boarded the Star Destroyer with Sabine and Zeb, where they met with Ezra Bridger, who had already escaped. Now with Ezra, Kanan and his friends escaped aboard the *Ghost*.

Ezra then told Kanan, Hera and Sabine that he knew the Empire was actually taking the prisoners to the Mines of Kessel and decided to join them on for the rest of the job. During the mission, Kanan, Zeb and Sabine provided the distracting while Ezra went over and unlocked all the Wookiees from their bonds. The rebels and the Wookiees teamed up together when Agent Kallus and his Stormtroopers appeared on Kessel. There, Kanan was forced to reveal himself as a Jedi to Kallus and several of the Stormtroopers. It was giving the Rebels enough time to put the Wookiees in a transport unit and get locked onto the Ghost. When Kanan learned Ezra had gone off to rescue a Wookiee child named Kitwarr, the Jedi rescued Ezra and Kitwarr from Kallus.After the wookiees departed, the crew decided to return Ezra back to his home During this time, Ezra stole Kanan's lightsaber yet again.

When they arrived on the planet,  Kanan was given his holocron back while Ezra kept his lightsaber. Realizing that the holocron was opened, Hera saw that Ezra had passed the test. Kanan went to Ezra's tower and revealed that Ezra had the Force because he wouldn't have been able to open the holocron. He proposed to Ezra that he could keep the lightsaber as a useless relic and remain on Lothal or learn ways to become a Jedi. After a hard decision, Kanan gained a Padawan in Ezra, who returned his lightsaber to him.
