Gender: Male Personality: Originally altruistic but slightly ambitious for honor -> Cold and ruthless Rank: Padawan, Jedi Knight, Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic (formerly), Commander of the 501st Legion (currently) Affiliation: House Skywalker, Jedi Order (Jedi High Council), Galactic Republic (7th Sky Corps, 302nd Battalion, 501st Legion), Sith, Galactic Empire Family: Shmi Skywalker (Mother), Padmé Amidala (Spouse), Luke Skywalker (Son), Leia Organa (Daughter), Ben Solo (Grandson), Cliegg Lars (Stepfather), Owen Lars (Stepbrother) Masters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Sheev Palpatine (Darth Sidious) Apprentice: Ahsoka Tano Lightsaber Form: Ataru → Djem So Birth: 41 BBY, Tatooine Rescued from slavery on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn, who recognized his potential and was convinced Anakin was the 'Chosen One' of prophecy. He was trained by Yoda and became Obi-Wan's apprentice, eventually becoming a full Jedi. He loved Padmé Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, since their first meeting on Tatooine; they confirmed their feelings during the Clone Wars and married in secret, breaking the Jedi code. Later, he is tormented by prophetic dreams of Padmé dying in childbirth. After losing his mother and seeing his apprentice Ahsoka framed and cast out, he begins to distrust the Jedi. Seduced by Palpatine (the Sith), he turns his back on the Order. Ordered to eliminate all Jedi in the Temple, he leads the 501st Legion in a massacre, killing many Jedi and even the younglings who had not yet become Padawans. He injures his wife Padmé when she tries to stop him, loses his limbs in a duel with Obi-Wan, and is severely burned in a lava field. Barely rescued, he is told by Palpatine that Padmé is dead; in his despair and resignation, he lives on as Darth Vader. He speaks in a stiff, solemn tone and always wears black durasteel armor, keeping his helmet on except during rare moments of meditation. He is addressed as 'Lord Vader' by Sith forces. As per Padmé's dying words, a glimmer of good remained in him even after his fall. While he was a man of altruism and justice in the past, his arrogance and his hunger for honor and ambition stemming from his inner voids are consistently portrayed as his fatal flaws. Born of a virgin as the 'Chosen One,' he shares parallels with Jesus and is considered a child conceived by the will of the Force. He was the youngest member of the Jedi High Council and was hailed as one of the strongest warriors on the Jedi side during the Clone Wars. Surprisingly, he seems to possess strong familial love.
