Bio
He first appeared in an unofficial The Lion King: Six New Adventures books. In the pictures, he has a brownish mane and a tan pelt, but according to the reading, he was a lion with a black mane, yellow pelt, and green eyes. In Savu's comics, he has the same appearance except his eye pupils changed to a golden brown. Ahadi was one of the rouges and was the son of Hata, the rogue lion. Ahadi's mother has died from starvation and from the wound by hyenas, so they came to the pridelands. Mohatu, the king of the pridelands at that time, allowed them to stay. However, Ahadi's father Hata does not feel comfortable with the pride so he left and tells Mohatu to take care of his son. Soon Ahadi fell in love with Uru, Mohatu's daughter and they become king and queen. He has two sons with Uru after he became king Taka and Mufasa. He heard about Taka's problem about lions calling him weak, young, and tiny, and he has problems with Mufasa. Ahadi tells Taka that he will speak to Muffy about his behavior and tells Taka to be more independent from his brother. Ahadi soon shows Mufasa about the kingdom. Later on, Ahadi heard that Taka was playing with hyenas, but hyena and lions are enemies and can never be friends. He takes Taka home and scolded and grounds him for this. He then heard that Taka was attacked by a pridelander teen lion named Riku, but was saved by hyenas. Sina, the mother of Riku, scolds Taka, thinking that he was a murderer, just watches him die, didn't help, and told Ahadi and Uru that he has to leave the pridelands.

However, Ahadi silenced Sina and tells her that if she lays a paw on his son, he will have to banish her out of the pridelands. Sina didn’t listen and heard that teenage Taka was hiding a cub named Zira. She attacked the cub and Scar, but Ahadi and his pride came just in time and after a small quarrel, he banished Sina, along with her daughter Sarafina Soon Scar told Ahadi, that one day, Zira well become his mate. Uru was very happy about it, but Ahadi was worried. He knows that Zira might become bad like Scar is. He saved Scar, who was unconscious from a fall and were attacked by Leza and her pride. He was still worried about Zira's relation to Leza and still follows the old rules. He welcomed back Sarafina who returned from the pride lands along with Zazu after she was in a terrible pride, and was pregnant with a cub. Scar and Zira are displeased and he argues with Ahadi that he did it because she is a friend of Mufasa and one of her family members attacks Scar.

Ahadi argues at him, and when Scar attacks Zazu, when he said he vouch for her cubs and the future cubs, and become the king's majordomo, Ahadi loses his temper on Scar but he responded: "maybe you should be careful if I don't lose my control." Soon Ahadi gave up his throne early and later Mufasa and Sarabi become king and queen of the pride lands. Ahadi decided to banish Scar, to do what’s best for him, because he is too much like his father. He went to the gorge and when he was there wondering what to do with Scar, Zira appears when her daughter Azra, overheard him going to banish Scar. She comes to challenge Ahadi and told him that she and Scar well overthrow Mufasa and become the king and queen. Ahadi fights her knowing she was a danger after all, and as Azra jumped in, Ahadi accidentally pushed Azra off the cliff with his leg. Scar jumped and saved Azra, and when Ahadi tries to tell him to stop his mate, he disagrees and said he will not have his or Zira's blood on their paws, soon Scar told the hyenas to kill Ahadi, and so they did. Ahadi fights the hyenas, which he killed the leader of the hyenas Freya, but Ahadi didn’t survive and dies.

Trivia

 * Some have mistaken Ahadi to be the main antagonist in Part as he was gonna banish Scar and his family out of the Pridelands and he and Scar had difficulties getting along. He is not a villain at all as he feels bad for his actions and that he loves his children and his family, wanting the best for them. He is reluctant to banish Scar's family out of the Pridelands. He also accidentally pushed Azra off a cliff, after he was pushed in the corner by Zira. Even Uru disagreed with Ahadi. He also develops untrustworthy feelings towards Zira. However, Ahadi's choice to banish Scar's family led to his demise when Scar had the hyenas killed him. The true villains in Part  are Scar and Zira.
 * Ahadi is based on the character from the semi-canonical The Lion King.
