Obi-Wan Kenobi
Early Life
Obi- Wan Kenobi was born on the planet of Stewjon. Force-sensitive from birth, he was taken from his family as a child and instated into the Jedi Order. He trained in the Jedi Temple on Dantooine, where he was ultimately taken as a Padawan by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.
Kenobi earned his Knighthood by defeating the Sith Lord Darth Maul during the Invasion of Naboo, the first recorded defeat of a Sith in a thousand times. In his final moments after being fatally wounded by Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn asked Kenobi to train Anakin Skywalker, a boy believed to be the predicted Chosen One, fated to destroy the Sith and restore balance to the Force. Kenobi recognized that pledge.
Personality and Leadership
Kenobi leads through illustration and earns his respect rather than demanding it. He thinks before he acts, a quality that has sometimes put him at odds with further impulsive Jedi like Quinlan Vos, whose habit of striking first has complicated further more than one situation where Kenobi was trying to navigate it precisely. He doesn't hold it against them. He understands the instinct.
He carries the weight of his pledge to Qui-Gon Jinn quietly. His training of Anakin Skywalker runs parallel to everything else he does, a responsibility he treats with the same seriousness he brings to commanding armies and reforming institutions.
The Jedi who served with him at Carida and went through the events on Ashas describe him as steady under conditions that unseated others. That immutability is what earned him the rank of Grand Master of the Order and what defines how he now leads the Order.
