Personality: Mlezi is a kind soul, taught by his father to be one with nature. He would never harm a living thing.

Bio: After Simba ascended to the throne, Rafiki became a father. He named the young one Mlezi, and over the years taught him everything he knew. By the time he was a young adult, he was one of the best doctors in the Pridelands. But soon, Rafiki grew ill, and Mlezi became sad. "My son," said Rafiki, "It is nearly time for the Great Kings to call for me. You must follow in my footsteps. I know you can." A few days later, Rafiki passed away.

Mlezi was finally ready to make his father proud. It was time for him to present Kovu and Kiara's first cub, Aminifu. The animals rejoiced and Mlezi felt ecstatic. He even helped deliver Vitani's new cub. But then he noticed the cub was ill. He whisked him away immediately to treat him. He remembered his father's advice and wisdom, which gave him courage, and soon, the cub was healthy again. Vitani was grateful and named the cub Uhai. Mlezi could hear his father's words: "Well done, my son."
