When Ki-Adi asks why he is chosen, Master Yoda explains that only he can defeat Sharad Hett. The Jedi believe he could be very helpful in the fight against the Sith, or a powerful tool for the Dark Side. This takes place shortly after Qui-Gon Jinn is killed by Darth Maul. He is suspected to be leading a group of Tusken Raiders. In the comic book "Outlander", Ki-Adi is sent to investigate whether a Jedi, Sharad Hett, is alive. Most are killed, but Ki-Adi, Aayla Secura, and Shaak Ti survive when a team of elite ARC troopers arrives and rescues them. Their ship is shot down and super battle droids lead by General Grievous kill all remaining clone troopers. At one point, he takes over as Anakin Skywalker's surrogate master when Obi-Wan Kenobi is thought to be dead after the Battle of Jabiim. In an episode of the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon series, he leads a Jedi strike to to Hypori to destroy a droid factory.

Ki-Adi was once the apprentice of the enigmatic Jedi Master known only as the Dark Woman. Ki-Adi-Mundi fought alongside other Jedi in the Battle of Geonosis, kicking off the Clone Wars. He is known for his large, cone-shaped head that contains a second heart. He is one of the most well-known minor Jedi. Windu was not fond of the alternative, Qui-Gon Jinn. He was invited into the council after the death of Master Micah Giiett during the Yinchorri conflict, at the urging of Mace Windu. Ki-Adi-Mundi is a Jedi Knight and Jedi Council member during the Clone Wars.
