Kes Dameron is a human sergeant in the Rebel Alliance's Pathfinders — the special forces unit that goes to the forest moon with Han Solo — husband of the pilot Shara Bey and father of Poe Dameron. He appears retroactively in Return of the Jedi (1983) as one of the strike team, and is identified as a character in Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto's Star Wars: Shattered Empire #1 (Marvel, 2015). That series gives him the decision that defines him: with the Empire broken and the fighting continuing, he and Shara take their discharge and move to Yavin 4 to raise their son, planting the Force-sensitive tree Luke Skywalker gave her. Later canon has him take up arms again in the Resistance era. Current canon.
