{{quote|''"[[Genre Savvy|Well, as an older mentor figure]], the most likely scenario is that [[He's Back|I'd return]] [[Back for The Dead|only to be]] [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|randomly killed]] by an enemy of yours so that you can [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|cradle my dying body]] while [[Its Personal|swearing revenge]] -- so don't take it personally if I say that I sincerely hope we never cross paths again."''|'''Julio Scoundrél''', ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]''}}

A [[Mentors|mentor]] who travels with the main character and often has some sort of magic powers or at least a brilliant mind. Even though this character is better skilled, faster and [[Older and Wiser|more experienced]] than the protagonist, they aren't [[The Hero]], either because they are not [[The Chosen One]] or because they have already [[Retired Badass|grown too old for the task]]. Their role is to [[Chekhov's Skill|introduce a new skill]] or [[Training From Hell|sharpen the current skills]] of the protagonist, often hoping to [[Passing the Torch|pass the torch]] because they know their career is [[End of an Age|coming to an end]]. Expect him to have a very calm attitude as if he has wisdom that he will give out in his own due time.

 

 

The Obi-Wan can also play [[Mr. Exposition]] and as [[The Chooser of the One]].
