== Biography ==
A traveling baboon named Rafiki wanders into the Pride Lands in search of knowledge and wisdom. He stops to rest at Five Stones, but is set upon by hyenas. Just then, Ahadi arrives alongside his sons, Mufasa and Taka, and chides the hyenas for hunting for sport. He then orders them to vacate the area.
With the hyenas gone, Mufasa introduces his father to Rafiki, and Rafiki explains his mission to Ahadi. Intrigued by the baboon's knowledge, Ahadi invites Rafiki to come to Pride Rock and share his wisdom with the kingdom, as help is desperately needed. The two talk for hours, and when night finally falls, Ahadi offers Rafiki a place to stay for the night.
he following morning, a crowd of angry Pride Landers beseeches Ahadi to fix the kingdom's many problems. At first, Ahadi cannot get a word in edgewise, but when Zuzu the hornbill mentions that the hyenas have become a problem, he promises to deal with the matter.
Taka interjects, reminding Ahadi that he had promised to take his sons hunting that morning, but Ahadi regretfully postpones the trip. This does not sit well with Taka, who expresses frustration over his father's kingly duties. Ahadi reminds him that ruling a kingdom requires great responsibility and that Mufasa understands his duties, to which Taka furiously accuses Ahadi of playing favorites.
The Pride Landers interrupt the argument, demanding that the family stop arguing about the throne and instead focus on the more prevalent problems. To satisfy their demands, Ahadi agrees to set about taming the hyenas. However, he refuses to promise a solution for the drought and reminds the Pride Landers that they must await the return of his mate, Uru, who is searching for a new source of food and water.
Before he departs, Ahadi attempts to apologize to Taka about the misfortune, but Taka refuses to forgive his father for the broken promise. Ahadi turns to Rafiki and comments that it would be much easier to learn about small problems before they become big ones. As he departs, Zuzu approaches Rafiki and praises Ahadi for his bravery and strength despite the difficult situation.
Later that day, Mufasa and Taka are attacked by a herd of cape buffalo, and Ahadi rushes to their aid at the head of an elephant herd. After surrounding the buffalo with his followers, Ahadi demands an explanation, to which the buffalo assign blame to Mufasa and Taka. Mufasa warns his father that Taka is injured, and Rafiki promises to tend to Taka's injuries.
Under the careful direction of Rafiki, the party moves Taka to Pride Rock, where he is properly treated with herbs. Though Rafiki manages to patch up Taka's wounds, he is unable to heal Taka's scar. Ahadi tells his son that the scar will serve as a reminder throughout his life of his recklessness. Taka admits his misgivings about Ahadi's broken promise, and Ahadi reprimands him and expresses hope that the scar will serve as a humble reminder of Taka's past mistakes.
With Taka healed, Ahadi leaves to speak with Mufasa, Rafiki, and Zuzu on the peak of Pride Rock. Together, the four come to the conclusion that Ahadi needs a majordomo to assist him in important matters. At Rafiki's suggestion, Ahadi offers the position to Zuzu, who proudly accepts. The king then asks Rafiki to be his adviser. Though the baboon is initially hesitant, he eventually concedes under the condition that he can go on personal quests from time to time. As the decisions are brought to a close, Ahadi proclaims to the others that he can feel a great era beginning for the Pride Lands.
