Also known as the "Negotiator," Obi-Wan Kenobi kept a cool head in the thick of combat. Obi-Wan was never at a loss for a quick word of wisdom or humor. He served as a General in the Repulic's army, with Clone Commander Cody often at his side.
For over a decade Obi-Wan guided young Anakin Skywalker on the path to Jedi Knighthood. Having to rein in an adventure-seeking youth made Obi-Wan wise -- and cynical -- beyond his years. True to his role, Obi-Wan recognized both Anakin's strengths and weaknesses, and he tried to impart his lessons with the patience and understanding that his mentor, Qui-Gon, did.
Following the tragedy of the Clone Wars, and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Obi-Wan was one of the few Jedi survivors. He hid on Tatooine, living in exile while keeping a watchful eye over Luke Skywalker, Anakin's son who was also strong in the Force.
Following the death of Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi agreed to take young Anakin Skywalker as his apprentice. Obi-Wan and Anakin grew to love each other as brothers and became one of the most powerful master-apprentice pairs in the Jedi Order until Skywalker's turn to the dark side.
As Obi-Wan's master, Qui-Gon and Kenobi held a close bond. But as Obi-Wan got older, he began to worry about his mentor's somewhat rebellious nature. Qui-Gon's dying wish was for Obi-Wan to take Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan.
To investigate the rumors of Mandalore creating an army to join the Separatists, the Jedi Council sent Obi-Wan Kenobi to Mandalore to meet with the Duchess. While glad to see her old friend once again, Satine was angered by the rumors that had brought Kenobi to Mandalore.
Like all Jedi of the final decades of the Galactic Republic, Obi-Wan studied under Yoda at a young age. Yoda taught classes of unapprenticed younglings the basics in the Force. Yoda and Obi-Wan were close allies during the rise of the Empire.
Obi-Wan Kenobi watched over Luke as he grew up on Tatooine. Kenobi recognized that Luke had a great Force potential, and hoped that he would someday be able to defeat his former apprentice, Darth Vader.
