Chumvi is the father of Kovu. Once Sarafina is apparently murdered by hyenas, Scar fears that his "pets" will turn on him, so he trains Chumvi to be his protector and bodyguard. He also gets the grim task of being enforcer and executioner. The lionesses both fear and hate him, all except for his love, Kula.
Chumvi is sent to retrieve Nala the night she runs away for help, but Zira sends some hyenas to kill him, as she fears the favoritism Scar shows him. She wants Nuka to be the next King, not Chumvi. Kula, hearing Zira order the hyenas to killi him, follows and helps save him. Chumvi is badly wounded, cripplingly so, and he knows Scar will kill him if the others don't, so he and Kula flee to the OutLands, where they live until Zira is exiled there. She and her pride kill both Chumvi and Kula, but take the son -- the son with the oh so green eyes.
