Caleb Dune/Kanan Jarrus

[shootingwomprats]

Caleb Dume
Serving as Padawan to Depa Billaba, Caleb spends this span in front-line Clone Wars duty: platoon-level raids, escort ops, and holding actions along the Outer Rim sieges. He sharpens fundamentals (defense-first lightsaber work, battlefield awareness) and—crucially—builds close rapport with his unit’s clones (notably Grey and Styles). By the end of the year their battalion redeploys to Kaller as the Republic push winds down. That’s where the war ends for Caleb: Order 66 is transmitted in 19 BBY, turning his own troopers on Master Billaba and setting up his flight from the battlefield.

Flashback context: Kanan: The Last Padawan #7–12 are set around 19 BBY and depict earlier Clone Wars missions with Depa Billaba.

Between 19–18 BBY "Kanan: The Last Padawan 1–6"
Caleb survives Order 66 on Kaller and goes to ground. Hunted by former comrades and local Imperial assets, he learns to live like a civilian—hide, con, sneak, blaster first, never the saber. With help from Janus Kasmir (and briefly the ex-Separatist Kleeve), he bounces between backwater jobs and false names. Captured late in the year, he’s freed in a desperate space engagement when Commander Grey breaks conditioning and sacrifices himself. In the aftermath, Caleb closes the book on his old life and adopts the alias “Kanan Jarrus.”

Between 18 BBY "Kanan: The Last Padawan #5–6" and 11 BBY "A New Dawn"
In the wake of Commander Grey’s sacrifice, Caleb closes the book on his old life and takes the alias Kanan Jarrus. He drifts along outer-rim routes under assumed names, keeping his lightsaber in pieces and relying on a blaster, con, hide, and sneak to stay invisible. Years of small, dirty jobs—freight handling, short-haul piloting, and mining-adjacent work—hone repulsorlift operation, space transports, streetwise, security, and a cool head under pressure while he avoids overt Force use. This quiet exile eventually funnels him to the Gorse–Cynda system, where the events of A New Dawn (11 BBY) begin and his path converges with Hera Syndulla.

Between 11 BBY — A New Dawn [novel] and 5 BBY — Rebels “Spark of Rebellion” [S1E1]
After the Gorse Conflict, Kanan and Hera go their separate ways for a time, but the encounter nudges Kanan back toward purpose. Over the next years he keeps a low profile, sticking to civilian piloting and odd jobs while the Empire tightens its grip. By 5 BBY he’s on Lothal, where fate (and Hera) pull him into the Ghost cell full-time and he takes Ezra Bridger as his Padawan—kicking off the operations that define the early rebellion on Lothal.

(as of 5 BBY, Rise of the Old Masters)
Type: Jedi rebel
Control, Sense and Alter: Affect mind
This character is Force-sensitive.
Move: 10
Equipment: DL-18 blaster pistol (4D), two-piece lightsaber (5D; concealed when practical), comlink, Ghost-crew field gear (minimal tools), Jedi holocron (Obi-Wan warning, temple map & training records; requires Force to open).

Between 5 BBY — Rebels “Empire Day” [S1E8] and 4 BBY — Rebels “Fire Across the Galaxy” [S1E15]
The Ghost crew brings Ezra Bridger aboard and shifts from ad-hoc relief to coordinated strikes on Lothal. Early ops (supply raids, prisoner liberations) draw Agent Kallus and the Grand Inquisitor onto their trail. Kanan tests and trains Ezra—Temple visions on Lothal confirm their master–apprentice path—while Imperial traps tighten (e.g., the Luminara ruse). Empire Day—the Empire’s 15th anniversary—ticks the timeline into 4 BBY, after which repression spikes, Kanan is captured, and the stage is set for the Mustafar rescue and the Star Destroyer duel that ends the Grand Inquisitor’s hunt.

(as of 4 BBY, Battle with the Grand Inquisitor)
Type: Jedi rebel (Spectres co-leader; Ezra’s master)
Blaster 4D+2, dodge 5D, lightsaber 6D+2

Guided by intel and Ahsoka’s quest, the team journeys to Malachor.
