History:
Rafiki first appears by entering Simba's ceremonial presentation. Greeting one another on top of Pride Rock, Rafiki and King Mufasa embrace as close friends. A few moments later, he presents newborn Simba to all the animals gathered at Pride Rock, and on the walls of his tree house home Rafiki draws a stylized lion cub to represent Simba's birth.
When Simba runs away and his family believes him to be dead, Rafiki draws his paw across the Simba drawing, obscuring it in grief. Later, after picking up Simba's scent in the dust and pollen in the air, Rafiki determines that Simba is still alive and restores the drawing, adding the full mane of an adult lion as a sign to seek out this young deliverer from Scar's tyranny.
Journeying to the area where Simba lives with Timon and Pumbaa, Rafiki observes Simba and recognizes, at least in principle, that he is suffering from a ponderous emotional burden. To treat it, he approaches the young lion
Rafiki learns Simba is alive
and teaches him a few playful (and sometimes painful) lessons about learning from the past, not living in it. He also points out that the spirit and values of Simba's dead father Mufasa continue to live in Simba himself. During this scene, Rafiki incessantly repeats the Swahili phrase "Asante sana, squash banana, we we nugu, mi mi apana," which roughly translates to "Thank you very much, squash banana, you are a baboon, and I am not." When Simba decides to return to Pride Rock and fight Scar for the kingship, Rafiki accompanies him, demonstrating his Kung Fu skills in battle against the hyenas and defeating several of them as they charge at him. As Simba is fighting Scar and the hyenas a hyena from the top attacks him and he hits it in the head hard with his staff.
At the end of the film, Rafiki raises Simba and Nala's newborn cub atop Pride Rock for everyone to see.
Rafiki appears in the beginning again as the presenter of King Simba and Queen Nala's newborn cub Kiara.
Later on in the film, despite protesting that both Simba and Zira would forbid it, he is persuaded by Mufasa's spirit to attempt to get Kiara and Kovu to fall in love with each other. He then scolds him for making a "crazy plan" and it will never work but reluctantly goes with it and it succeeds. He tries to make Kiara and Scar's heir Kovu fall in love with each other by taking them to a fantasy paradise called "Upendi."
When Simba exiles Kovu, Rafiki was seen sighing sadly at Kovu's leaving. In the end, he acts as the host of Kiara and Kovu's presumed wedding.
Rafiki appears briefly in The Lion King 1½, and is referred to by Timon as "The Omniscient Monkey." Rafiki teaches Timon the philosophy of "Hakuna Matata." Besides appearing in the scenes he appeared in in the original film, Rafiki also appears in a scene where he chats with Ma about telling Timon to "look beyond what he sees." Mistaking Rafiki's words of wisdom, Ma starts on her "journey of a thousand miles" to find Timon by angrily stepping on Rafiki's foot, presumably injuring him to some degree. It should be noted that this scene is misplaced, since it seems to be set right after Mufasa's death, at which point Rafiki had become understandably depressed, which he isn't here.
Finally, he is in a scene where he tries to convince Timon go back to join his friends against Scar, albeit saying nothing but "My work here is done" after Timon goes to find Pumbaa on his own.

It was shortly after that that, a strange queen visited the pridelands, and she granted them all the life as a Humans to live out their days in the Enchanted Forest. (Which was some time after Regina's curse) Reluctantly.. all the lions took the life. And Rafiki took on the name Raphael Williams, whom became the Kings Advisor of the newly formed Kingdom that was Simba's domain. Also Rafiki knows darkness is coming back again.
