Kanan Jarrus, born Caleb Dume, was a Force-sensitive human male Jedi Knight who survived Order 66 during the Clone Wars. Trained as a youngling at the Jedi Temple and taken as Padawan by Master Depa Billaba, he went into hiding after her death, forsaking the Jedi ways for a time and living as a fugitive.
Jarrus later joined the Twi'lek rebel Hera Syndulla's cell, becoming her second-in-command and eventual partner, and took the young Force-sensitive Ezra Bridger as his apprentice. As a member of the Spectres and Phoenix Cell, he fought the Galactic Empire, endured being blinded by the former Sith Lord Maul, and helped rally allies including the Mandalorian Sabine Wren to the rebel cause.
Jarrus gave his life on Lothal to save his companions, and following his death became one with the Cosmic Force. He is remembered among the Jedi whose voices later encouraged Rey. A detailed chronology is available in the Timeline; content is drawn from community reference sources under CC BY-SA.
