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.
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 will eventually lead to him founding the Rebel Alliance, though that is still many years off.
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 long tenure in the Senate, 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
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 was 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 and wished for a long time to start a family with her. He is a devoted, affectionate father to his young daughter Leia. And will be... rather surprised to find her all grown up. Her true parentage has never caused him much concern, as he thinks of her simply as his little girl.
Sample Entry:
[Bail has heard a great deal about the letters that are circulating throughout the town. He would have to be blind to miss what was happening. And devoid of compassion to sit by and allow it.]
This is madness. Have we lost sight of who the true enemy is, here? Whatever grievances we have against each other, this town is our common enemy. We cannot afford to kill each other like this. And doing so at its request is simply foolishness. That will only end in further requests for atrocities. When these things happen we need to stand together, not tear ourselves apart.
