## Biography

### Jedi Master

Ki-Adi-Mundi, a Force-sensitive male Cerean, was born on the planet Cerea, the homeworld of his species. At a young age, his sensitivity to the Force was discovered, and he was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training by the Jedi Order, eventually obtaining the rank of Jedi Master and a spot on the Jedi High Council. Due to his species' low birth rate, Mundi had multiple wives on Cerea, which would have otherwise been in violation of the Jedi Code, but he was completely detached from them. Mundi also had three daughters.

### The Talphai crisis

"*This may seem all very... political, to you, but we as Jedi have a duty to the people of the galaxy.*"
"*I understand. I will leave for Talphai immediately.*"
―Micah Giett and Mundi[src]
In 33 BEF, a crisis began on the planet Talphai, in the Semagi sector near Cerea, when the Mining Guild sought to take control of the planet's newly-found cortosis deposits, an action supported by the corrupt Supreme Chancellor Lethos Frix. Ki-Adi-Mundi was dispatched to mediate the dispute by Grand Master Yoda and Master of the Order Micah Giiett, alongside his old friend Lon-Yeni-Kadni, whom he had met prior in rotations as an observer of the Galactic Senate.

On Talphai, Mundi and Kadni met with the Talphai Parliament and emissaries from both the Mining Guild and the Talphai Cortosis Corporation, and Mundi observed proceedings where the Parliament made it clear that they would not permit the Mining Guild to mine cortosis on their planet, no matter if the Senate gave them permission or not. After the proceedings, Mundi met privately with the Parliament's Speaker, Sol Chang, and expressed his feelings on the matter, comparing their current situation to the fate of the planet Gaddion II, which was ravaged by the Mining Guild despite once being verdant.

### Clone Wars

"*Found a way to manifest consciousness after death, Master Jinn did. Incomplete, his training was. Commune with me, he shall.*"
"*And this was not a Sith trick?*"
―Yoda and Mundi[src]
During the Clone Wars, Mundi led the defense of the planet Vaklin, alongside Tiplee. The world had an appreciation for the Jedi which was only furthered by their efforts to defend the world from the Separatists.

Mundi was present for some of the last Jedi High Council meetings of the Clone Wars, where Grand Master Yoda returned to Coruscant after adventures throughout the galaxy to report to the Council of his discoveries which included the identity of the Dark Lord of the Sith. The Sith Lord was none other than Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. Mundi was skeptical of Yoda's claims that Qui-Gon Jinn had communed with him, despite being dead, believing that it could have been a Sith trick.

### Death

Mundi, joined by some of the Order's finest lightsaber duelists, traveled to the LiMerge Building in the Works section of Coruscant to face Sidious, as well as his new apprentice Darth Vader. Mundi was killed when the top portion of his elongated head was cut off, and his brain began to shut down after the second heart which supplied that brain had been destroyed. Despite dying, Mundi used the Force to alleviate his own pain.

## Personality and traits

Ki-Adi-Mundi was a male Cerean who stood at 1.98 meters tall. Mundi had white hair, yellow eyes, and light skin. He believed that his duty to the Jedi Order came before everything, including his own family, which caused some estrangement from his wives. Despite this, he also sought to serve the citizens of the galaxy over corporations, and wished for the people of Talphai to have control over their own mines rather than the Mining Guild.

## Powers and abilities

Mundi was sensitive to the Force and was considered one of the Jedi Order's finest duelists. He wielded a lightsaber of his own creation.
