The Ghost Crew, named after Hera's ship Ghost, eventually came to include the Mandalorian Sabine Wren, the Lasat Garazeb Orrelios or Zeb, and Ezra Bridger, a Force-sensitive boy that Kanan takes on as his Padawan.

Before Order 66, Kanan was known as Caleb Dume.

Example Fanworks

Fanfic

Hera and crew are sent on mission to recruit Kanan and Ezra, who operate as vigilante assassins fighting the Empire, into the rebellion. But Kanan’s dark past and darker tendencies make the chances of the mission’s success slim. [It’s a good thing Hera, Ezra, and the crew don’t give up easy.]
