Nathaniel Kenobi

Nathaniel Kenobi, or as he was more commonly known as Nathaniel Kenobi Clan Fett, was a former Jedi Knight and General for the Old Republic. He was a survivor of The Jedi Purge. He was apprenticed by the Jedi Knight Huk'le. He was also the husband of Abigaile Jade and the father of Abigaile Kenobi.

Without his stern leadership during the Rebellion, many more clones would have become the fighting force of the cruel Emperor Palpatine, the entire Kaminoan race would have been enslaved, and several Order 66 survivors would have been killed or turned by the Sith.

Vandal Wars
The Vandal Wars began after a group of smugglers banded together to gain territory and profit from under the Republic and CIS's prospective noses. Nathan was assigned to defeat them using any means possible and eventually did, twice.

He was assigned a small Republic taskforce under the command of an ARC named Joker, Nathan's Master, Huk'le also accompanied him. (He was there because the Council had ordered him to record Nathan's actions, so that he could be given the title of Jedi Knight.) Nathan grew to enjoy Joker's company&mdash;something that would help him later in life&mdash;and constantly went to him for advice.

During the first part of the War, Nathan was forced to fight side-by-side with the CIS under the Anointed One. Nathan started a friendship with him that would later lead to the freedom of the Anointed One's people.

The Vandals were defeated in battle and thought to have been disbanded afterwards, but the battle was costly, as Huk'le was killed in action. Unfortunately, the ringleader, Hurk Choi, was still alive and resurrected them. Nathan was again given the duty of destroying them. Once again the Anointed One became his ally and Nathan found that he was Force-sensitive. But he knew that the Council would forbid the Anointed One's prescence there, so he agreed to train him on the side.

Once again, Nathan was able to defeat the Vandals and was able to relocate the Anointed One's family to their new home, safe from Seperatist reprisal.

Vjun & Beyond
Nathan was Knighted after the war and asked Master Yoda if he could accompany him to Vjun along with two Masters and their apprentices. He wanted to learn how one should treat their padawans, as he was about to receive his in a manner of days. Yoda agreed and he learned of the right way, even though the Masters were killed by Asajj Ventress and Nathan was severely wounded in the chest.

He also mentored Scout and Whie Malreaux on the dark side and several fallacies he had found in the Jedi and Sith, he also expressed into them that they should find it for themselves, for he saw that the two would marry in secret and would need guidance.

Though he would not pick them as padawans, he would give anything to see to their happiness, including promising to be the one who would use his right as a Jedi to help the two receive a legal marriage when the time was right.

When they touchdowned on Vjun, Nathan went away to cover their expedition into the caves. Using the underused Force power destroy droid, he brought the destruction of several Seperatist squads.

He helped his uncle and Anakin Skywalker free the padawans and Yoda, and went back to the Temple, content in the knowledge that he would know how to properly apprentice someone.

Black Ops
Nathan would work undercover with such notable Jedi and ARCs as Etain Tur-Mukan, Kal Skirata, and Darman.

The group would work together in a black ops campaign that effectively ended a major smuggling and criminal organization on Coruscant.

During this time, he grew a friendship with Etain, and even learned of her relationship with Darman.

Jedi Under Seige
But before he could pick an apprentice, he was called away to protect the Outer Rim world of Jrack, coincidently the place where his parents had relocated after a family fued on Alderaan. There he met his parents and saw the horrible conditions they were living in and arranged them passage to Corellia.

After the Battle of Jrack, Nathan went to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to meditate and calm himself, because during the battle he had felt the dark side calling to him, to all the Jedi, mocking them, saying that they would come to an end. He had hoped to reach Master Yoda, but he had left for Kashyyyk already.

Nathan was then shown two younglings, a Human named Udo Rand and a Bothan named Ada Fey'lya. He was supposed to pick one as an apprentice, but he felt the Force leading him to pick both of them.

Doomsday eventually fell, when the dark side's "prediction" came true: Darth Vader, formerly Nathan's friend Anakin Skywalker, had come with the legions of the 501st. Nathan fought Vader, the he was outmatched by the Chosen One. He was semi-relieved from the fight, when an old friend of his came by and helped combat Vader: Jak Virtus. Although it was two against one, they were no problem for the Sith Lord. Realizing the only escape was through retreat, Nathan and Jak fled to two different spots of the Temple. As Nathan could no longer feel his friend's presence in the Force&mdash;the dark side was clouding his Force sight&mdash;he left the Temple behind with Bail Organa.

During this fight, he was able to save Whie's life. Before he left with his padawans to Belsavis, he gathered both Whie, Scout, and his old friend the Anointed One. To get them, however, he had to save Scout from a Devaronian bounty hunter on Ord Mantell intent on getting a sizable sum of the renegade Jedi.

He hid them on Qiiuria, along with Etain Tur-Mukan, a friend of his who had had a child with a clone commando. He entrusted Etain with the two lovers and left for Belsavis.

Byss
Enroute to Belsavis, he heard a news report of how the Jedi Agricultural Corps had been captured by the Empire and had been interned on a planet somewhere in the Deep Core. Bribing an Imperial slicer, Nathan found that their intended destination was Byss.

Posing as a member of Czerka, Nathan was able to sneak onto Byss. His search led him to Palpatine's "learning chambers" and the tortured Agri Corps workers. He was able to free some, but accidentily set off an alarm, which forced him to leave some behind. (Some of those left behind would include High Inquistor Tremayne.)

These men and women would later help provide the need for Jedi in the fledgling Novus Kamino Prime.

Kamino and the Clone Rebellion
Nathan and his two Jedi apprentices, Ada Fey'lya and Udo Rand, have escaped the Jedi Temple massacre. A year after they attempt to reach the Jedi enclave of Belsavis. But an Imperial Interdictor brought them out of hyperspace. Captain Gilad Pellaeon came aboard and told Nathan&mdash;who was using the alias of Titus Thul&mdash;that all ships going near Belsavis must be searched. After using force-persuasion, Nathan was able to make Pellaeon leaves, and he beamed a special code to Belsavis telling them to flee immeadiately. Having no other choice, he decided to go to the planet of Kamino and destroy the cloning facilties.

Reaching the planet and gaining access to the Imperial space station orbiting the planet, he and the younglings find that not all is as it seems. All of the crew have dissapeared. Their answer comes in the form of a woman. The most beautiful he has ever seen. She shot him with a tranquilizer dart and he lost conciousness.

He woke up to find himself in a hospital. The resident doctor,Doc, told him what has happened. The clones have secretly rebelled against the Empire and are plotting thier escape. During the conversation three individuals come into the room. They are Lama Su, Taun We, and the woman who shot Nathan, Abigaile Jade. They tell him that Asajj Ventress has joined them and is teaching Kaminoan and clone force-sensitives. Nathan asks to meet her and they leave.

Asajj Ventress explained to Nathan what happened to her after Boz Pity. She harbored no grudge against the Jedi and is teaching something new, that all can use the dark side of the Force without falling. This shatters his beliefs and she begins teaching him. A Clone Commander, Alpha, comes in and notifies Lama that a they are ready to begin the evacuation.

Nathan later goes to Abigaile's room and talked to her about their prospective pasts. Her mother was a Jedi that was exiled after it was found that she was pregnant with her daughter. They fled to Kamino and she was adopted into Jango Fett's family after her mother died.

Nathan then began to instruct several new students that he had found that had a the rare talent of ghosting, when Abigaile came in. She demanded for him to talk to her about their relationship. He told her that he loved her and asked her if she would marry him. She accepted.

Meanwhile, the Empire had finally had enough, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin was sent with a major task force to destroy all resistance. All of the Jedi were stranded on the surface, and Asajj Ventress and Nam Poorf are killed by Darth Vader. Thanks to a special commando team sent by Alpha, all the other Jedi are able to flee with the Kaminoans.

Novus Kamino Prime
A half-year later, the clones and Kaminoans have settled in the Novus Kamino system in the Outer Rim, more specifically on the planet newly christened Novus Kamino Prime. Abigaile and Nathan then talked about the Empire and what they should do fight it. Abigaile wanted to stay put, but Nathan elected to begin guerilla strikes against them.

A ship then landed in the planet's only "spaceport" and out came Olee Starstone and the crew of the Drunk Dancer. They gave the fledging colony supplies and weapons.

The colony receives a distress call from a neighboring system called the Ottiumigos Centrality. They send out several Acclamators to assess what is happening.

The battle group then entered the system and rescued several Ottiumigon ships. Their leader, Gzeldff Hufhm, told them about their attackers and during his speech the ship is attacked by coral vessels. The ship suffered hull damage, so Nathan and a Glottalphib apprentice named Pandraxon set out to seal it. While welding the hole, Nathan tried to sense the pilot of a passing coral vessel. To his surprise, he cannot sense them in the Force! They repaired the hole and give the order to jump to hyperspace.

Abigaile, meanwhile, had captured an individual of the invading species, but he commited ritual suicide. Discussing the situation, Nathan, Alpha, and Lama agree to a reconnaisance mission to the Centrality. Nathan meets Alpha's commando squad. Sneaky, the sniper; Flyboy, the jet trooper; Crash, the demolitions expert; Doc, the doctor; and Shocker, the repairmen. Doc gives Nathan the news that his wife is pregnant with their child. They set out to the system regardless.

About to enter the fourth planet's atmosphere, Lama's cloak failed and he was captured by the enemy. They land anyway and started to search for answers. Lama was being tortured by their enemy, the dreaded Yuuzhan Vong. The Vong, told Lama his name is Hooley Krekk of Domain Krekk. He explained why they do what they do and placed Lama in the Embrace of Pain and gave him a slaveseed.

Nathan felt Lama crying out to him and makes a full-frontal assault on the facility that Lama is in. After killing Vong after Vong, he reached Lama, only to be stopped by Hooley Krekk. Lama breathed his last and after Nathan sliced Hooley's hands off, he forced him to surrender. Hooley uttered a curse that says that Nathan will never live in one place any longer and his family will die. But after the threat, Hooley called off the forces he sent to destroy the colonies and signed a truce with his new bio-formed hands.

The End of All Happiness
After returning to the colonies, Nathan was plagued by the fact that people are being oppressed all across the Empire. Two good things happen, though. First, the Jedi enclave from Belsavis finally came to the colonies seeking asylum, and second, his wife gave birth. He promised her that he would not attack the Empire, unless they strike first.

A man who keeps his promises, Nathan teamed up with Alpha and Doc to find a way to bring them there. A false distress signal is sent and received. The battle is a push-over and Nathan brought the fleet to the neighboring system that contained the planet Toola. But before that could happen a force-ghost of Asajj came to him. She told him of two possible futures: one in which both his wife and himself survive and grow old together or another where only one of the two remains, angry at the decision they made. Nathan chooses the latter, since his pride has blinded him to everything else.

His group battled against Tarkin and the demoted Ensign Pellaeon. Pellaeon finds that they were jamming the Imperials from sending out a distress signal and shows Tarkin which ship to attack. After the ship is destroyed, another fleet came into the fray and although Nathan and Alpha defeated them, only tweleve of their once mighty thirty-four ships remain.

Doc, feeling gulity for his actions in the plan, told Abigaile about it and she took her baby, Abigaile Kenobi, with her and left a cryptic clue for Nathan, should he find that he could still support them. Nathan later came and weeped for his choice and his family. He learned that the cryptic message meant that Abigaile has gone to Tatooine. He then left the Jedi under the care of Master Plett and Pandraxon.

Both Abigailes reached the planet and were soon captured by two smugglers who recognized the face of Abigaile from an Imperial wanted notice. She was tranquilized and her baby also captured. Luckily, her droid Kex, had been programmed to seek out Obi-Wan Kenobi's bio-signs should she fail.

Nathan arrived five days later. After the interrogation of a Toydarian merchant, he rented a dewback and headed towards his uncle's residence. On the way, he was attacked by the Tusken Raiders. Thanks to his uncle's intervention he received the news of what had happened to Abigaile. She had been taken to the Emperor's secret facility: Wayland.

He reached the coordinates and, using a sniper that had been a parting gift from Sneaky, started to pick off the stormtroopers that surrounded the installation. He was given a challenge by Palatine and came towards him. He bowed to Palpatine and begged him not to kill his wife and child. He told Palpatine that he will do whatever he wanted him to do. The false plea is heeded and using his deception, Nathan attacked him and managed to subdue him. He left Palpatine behind and found his wife and hugged her, but to his horror, heard a fatal blastershot.



His wife dead, Nathan looked at the assasins. They were Tarkin and Pellaeon. Furious, he attacked them, but was stopped by Vader. They dueled and Vader beats Nathan to a pulp. He tried to coax the location of Obi-Wan, but Nathan heard the voice of his wife tell him to flee with their child and get to safety. Heeding her, he left the room and found his baby. They escaped, but not before he came back for his wife's body. Not looking back, he jumped back to the colony.

Abigaile's funeral was held and he left the colonies, but not after giving the newly elected Prime Minister, Taun We, his blessing and telling the new Masters over the Jedi, a Draethos; Logh-Urr, Master Plett, and Pandraxon a warning/prophecy. He had forseen that trouble will find itself in the colonies, years after he leaves. He said that his future grandson will stop it. Leaving with his child, he set off for his sojourn through the Unknown Regions.

True to an earlier promise he had made with old friends Scout and Whie, he performed a wedding ceremony, as the Jedi are still legally able to do so. (An accidental oversight by Palpatine.) The two live in peace afterwards and gave birth to twins: one son and one daughter. They would later help Nathan's grandson during the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion of Qiiuria, a world the they were born on.

He died 10 years later, but not before he told his daughter everything he knew. She would later give birth to the prophesied savior of the colonies.

Post Mortem
Years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong war, Nathan's grandson, Nathaniel Kenobi Solo found his grandfather's holocron that told of the trouble that the colony was in and stated that he was the only one who could stop it. Nathaniel Kenobi, Abigaile Jade, and Nathan's mother&mdash;Abigaile Kenobi's&mdash;force-ghosts told him of the trials that were inevitable to come towards him, but he says that he can take it. With his ancestor's blessing, the youngest Nathan left for the colony and the knowledge that he must stop the Schism before it is too late...

Powers
He is one of the few Jedi in existence who can actually "transport" himself and other items from one place to another. What he refers to as ghosting. Besides that, and after he began tutelage under the former Sith Asajj Ventress, he learned that one can use the Potentium and not fall to the dark side. He is a powerful advocate of its use.

Personality
Nathan was at first a shy, good-natured individual, but after his apprenticship with Huk'le and the Vandal Wars, he grew to become more jocular and head-strong. He was also known for his practical jokes during his stays at the Jedi Temple. (At one point he made a student who was practicing Force push in front of Master Mundi sneeze and throw the Master into the Temple's fountain.)

After Order 66, Nathan grew angry and would fuel his rage by killing any stormtrooper he came across, when he saw his actions reflecting upon his young apprentices, he stopped, ashamed of what he had done. But he still retained that anger, and it would only be after the death of his wife that he finally learned how to control it. Unfortunately, he also grew a little depressed at this, but was still able to raise his daughter in a happy state of mind.

Lightsaber Combat
Nathan is adept at holding dual bladed lightsabers. One is green and the other cyan. He is excellent at Form X and even defeated the aggressive Emperor Palpatine in combat.

Behind the Scenes
Nathaniel Kenobi was originally going to be a male Mandalorian clone of Jango Fett, who was found to be force-sensitive by the Jedi Master, Callista Ming. After journeying to Coruscant to discern the purpose of Order 66, they would have decided to destroy the cloning facilities on Kamino. The ending would have had the clone turning to the dark side after learning Callista was not in love with him, but the canonical Geith. He would then contact Darth Vader and tell him that she and other Jedi were stationed on the planet Belsavis. Feeling guilty, he would alert them. Dauntless, he would still destroy the facilities after a duel with Darth Vader and would have died, making sure no one could make another one of them again.

The character of Sticks is based on this design and is not viewed as "canon".
