Character: Bail Organa
Age: 51
Canon: Star Wars
Canon Point: Three years post-RotS

Background: Background character extraordinaire

Personality: Like many Alderaanians, Bail is a firm believer in peace. Throughout the Clone Wars, he frequently pushed for a diplomatic solution to the conflict. Despite being repeatedly thwarted in his efforts to resolve the situation, he never ceased pushing for peace. He is a skilled negotiator and expert public speaker and many believed that if anyone could make it happen, it would be him. It seems he spends half the Clone Wars cartoon permanently on the verge of giving an inspiration speech.

Bail is well known for being a voice of reason in the Senate. He is capable of seeing both sides of many issues and adept at bringing both sides together to a workable compromise. This does not, however, mean he is a doormat. He realizes that there are limits to compromise and is not afraid to take a stand. This drive for justice led him to form the beginning of what will eventually become the Rebel Alliance. While he hides it well, there is often a great deal of anger beneath the surface.

When he does take a stand, he demonstrates an incredibly strong will. As the Republic slowly morphed into the Empire, he was a frequent voice of dissent. Despite his decade long tenure in the Senate (and various other political roles before that), he has never allowed power to corrupt him. A rare trait, in Republic politics. It should also be noted that while he believes in peace, calling him a pacifist would be going too far. He is willing to fight to defend himself and, more importantly, others. It is simply not his first choice of action.

Generally, when he does take a stand it is motivated by compassion. Alderaanian culture places a high value on all life. It is thus no surprise that he spent the majority of the Clone Wars lobbying for the plight of refugees. He did not want the war destroying the lives of the very people it was supposed to protect. Nor was he willing to see the Republic become something other than the force for peace and stability he firmly believed it to be.

Much like a certain speech, Bail loves democracy and loves the Republic. Unlike that speech, it's actually true. While he was aware of the incredible problems with corruption in the Senate, he felt the stability it brought was important to galactic peace. This led to an intense loyalty to the Jedi due to their role as galactic peacekeepers. Seeing the horrors wrought by Palpatine's Empire only reinforced this belief. And he is not afraid to bring this up.

In addition to his public persona, Bail is also a devoted family man. He deeply loves his wife Breha, who he often wishes he could spend more time with, and wished for a long time to start a family with her. He is a devoted, affectionate father to his young daughter Leia. Her true parentage has never caused him much concern, as he thinks of her simply as his little girl.

Abilities: Bail lacks any superhuman abilities. He is a skilled orator and negotiator. He is also a surprisingly good shot and pilot. Palpatine found him exasperatingly difficult to kill.

Alignment: Sosyne. Bail is famed for staying cool and collected under pressure. At the same time there is a definite undercurrent of anger that drives him into the rebellion.
