Obi-Wan Kenobi

"*I consider you a much higher rank than myself, Count Kenobi. A Jedi, great warrior, and the father of our* Mand’alor*. You are more Mandalorian than most.*"
―Maltos Eldar, to Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
Count **Obi-Wan Kenobi** (also called **Ben Kenobi**) of Yavin 4 was a Force-sensitive male Human Mandalorian from Stewjon who became a Jedi Master on the Jedi High Council, and later a Mandalorian of Clan Kenobi, sworn to House Kryze as the Count of Yavin 4. Kenobi notably trained Anakin Skywalker in the Jedi arts, and later Skywalker's former apprentice Ahsoka Tano in the Force. Tano and Kenobi both survived the Great Jedi Purge but chose not to go with the Jedi Order to Salekelahn, instead setting out on missions for Bail Organa and the Alliance of Galactic Restoration.

Kenobi and Tano's missions eventually led them to Mandalore, where Kenobi and Tano fought alongside Bo-Katan Kryze and Mand'alor Korkie Kryze, who was Kenobi's son with the Duchess Satine Kryze. Their efforts eventually caused the creation of Clan Kenobi, led by Obi-Wan, who was granted the title of Count of Yavin 4. Kenobi and Tano swore themselves to House Kryze afterward.

## Biography

### Early life

Obi-Wan Kenobi was born in 60 BEF on the planet Stewjon, located in the Dentari sector of the Expansion Region. At a young age, Kenobi's sensitivity to the Force was discovered and he was thus taken to the Jedi Order for training. As a Jedi Initiate, he was initially not taken as a Padawan by any members of the Order, instead being sent to the Agricultural Corps on Bandomeer, a place which he recalled as having unpleasant memories.

Kenobi would eventually find himself endeared to the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who took Kenobi as his Padawan. Jinn would take Kenobi out of the AgriCorps and begin his training in earnest. When he was an Initiate and a Padawan, Vokara Che remarked that he would often have to visit in the Halls of Healing in the Coruscant Jedi Temple, and that "misfortune and injury" seemed to follow him.

### Padawanship

"*I’ll have you know all of my stories are very true and not exaggerated even a little. Like that time that you let a feral ranphyx loose—*"
"*It was not feral, Master Qui-Gon domesticated it, and I did not let it loose...*"
―Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
During his Padawanship, his master domesticated a ranphyx, and at some point it got loose. Kenobi and his friend Quinlan Vos disagreed on whether or not the ranphyx was feral and whether or not Kenobi let it loose.

### The Naboo crisis

#### Anakin Skywalker

Upon returning to Coruscant with Skywalker in tow, Kenobi brought him to the Halls of Healing where Chief Healer Vokara Che took him through multiple blood tests and checkups, determining that his blood was "pure Force" and further indicating that Qui-Gon's suspicions about him being the Chosen One could be true. In the early days of Skywalker's apprenticeship, Obi-Wan was sent with Master Tera Sinube to ameliorate a labor dispute on Foerost. While Skywalker remained on Coruscant, he became aware that his slave chip was still inside him.

With the assistance of Aayla Secura, his fellow Padawan, Skywalker was able to have the slave chip removed by the surgeon Rengas while Vokara Che contacted Kenobi. Upon his return, he comforted Skywalker and indicated that he did not need to call him Master due to its implications based on Skywalker's slave past. Afterwards, Kenobi reconnected with his friend Quinlan Vos, who was Secura's Master.
