History:

Canonical History - Films Only.

Obi-Wan spent approximately one year in the game Medietas. While in the game, he met and had a relationship with Queen Anne of Austria (BBC Musketeers) and agreed to stand in as father for the child she bore and started settling down and forming a family with her. So far removed from the Order (and having miraculously survived Order 66 himself), Obi-Wan wrestled with his vows but ultimately decided that his love for Anne was more important than keeping true to the tenets of the Order that had raised him.

Prior to the close of the game, he and Anne were considering having another child, one of their own, and were focused on building a life together.

Personality:

Obi-Wan is first and foremost bound by a sense of duty. While he could be hotheaded as a teenager and young adult, he was still driven by his commitment to the Jedi order and, ultimately, the Republic itself. This commitment, while positive, ends up being somewhat of a downfall as he clings to the vestiges of the master-padawan relationship even as his own padawan has defiled that relationship to the highest degree. Obi-Wan is very much a traditionalist and, in situations where he has to think outside of the box, he can flounder to sometimes-disastrous results. Obi-Wan's need for structure can leave him a bit helpless when he is left to his own devices; he grew up knowing no life but the Order and experiencing life without the grounding force of the Jedi Temple and hierarchy is something he never quite gets used to. This need for structure has followed him since childhood and his apprenticeship under Qui-Gon Jinn. Much fonder of bending the rules, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon would most often clash over the interpretation of their duties and Obi-Wan was quite concerned with keeping to both the spirit and the letter of the law.

Obi-Wan is intelligent, using his wits as much as his lightsaber when battling an enemy. A strategic genius, he quickly moved up the ranks in the military because of his tactical and analytical approach to planning and carrying out large-scale battles and displays the ideal traits of a Jedi knight: cool, calm, intelligent and, above all, serene. Serenity under pressure is a highly-desired trait in a Jedi master and Obi-Wan has it in spades. In spite of this, Obi-Wan cares deeply about those he fights for and can grow too close to them, dangerously so, and takes on the blame for any failure. His perfectionism can be the key to his undoing, as he wants to have every i dotted and every t crossed. Obi-Wan is someone who can obsess over the details when it's better to look at things with a wider lens and sometimes he can very well not see the forest for the trees.

Perfectionism, too, leads to guilt and Obi-Wan shoulders much of the blame for his failed apprentice, Anakin. He often over-analyzes his actions and worries that if he'd done one thing or another differently that things might have been successful. Obi-Wan is more willing to blame himself for the failure than someone else and his guilt over Anakin has plagued him since his former apprentice's turn to the dark side. In a way, too, Obi-Wan sees himself responsible for the failure of the entire Jedi Order. If he'd been a better master, Anakin might not have turned and they might have been able to prevent the execution of Order 66 together instead of Anakin leading the vanguard against the Order that had once sheltered and trained him.

Emotional intimacy is difficult for Obi-Wan. Letting someone in means he has a chance of getting hurt once again and while he let Anne in during their time at Medietas, it isn't something that would happen quickly with anyone else at Duplicity. He likes to isolate himself so he doesn't have to worry about influencing someone the wrong way and he doesn't have to take on the blame for when things go sour. It's easier to let no one in and simply be lonely than to let someone beneath his guard and be wounded terribly the way he was wounded when Anakin turned on him.

Powers and Abilities:

Obi-Wan, through use of the Force, is a powerful telekinetic and able to lift objects several times his body weight. He also has enhanced reflexes and the ability to jump, twirl and spin utilizing additional Force push. He is quite accomplished in Jedi mind tricks, being able to influence and cloud the mind of other humanoids, and has some limited telepathy.
