[edit] Biography
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Some time before the events of the game, Komali's grandmother, who was the only Rito with the power to calm down Valoo, the guardian spirit if the air, died by unknown means. Komali was traumatized and locked himself in his room, away from the rest of the world. He also adopted a negative attitude towards life and lost confidence in himself. However, Medli, a harp playing Rito studying to become Valoo's next attendant, developed a mother-son relationship with Komali. Komali in turn grew to respect Medli, and the two became very close friends.
However, when Link, the young boy, appears on Dragon Roost Island and defeats Gohma, who had been tormenting Valoo, Komali regains his confidence and ascends to the top of Dragon Roost Island to get his scale from the Great Valoo and become a true Rito. He also apologizes for mistrusting Link, stating his desire to be like Link. He gives Link his treasured Pearl as a reward and also out of friendship. He becomes a brave Rito, who eventually repays Link yet again by saving him and Tetra from Ganondorf alongside Quill and Valoo.
Later, Komali wanted to thank Medli for watching over him as a guardian. After Medli becomes the Sage of Earth, Komali can be seen outside Dragon Roost Island holding a flower he wanted to give to Medli and he asks Link if he knows where she is. If Link comes back later or plays the Song of Passing next to Komali, the next day, Komali's flower will have wilted. Komali will express his disappointment at not getting to see the look of pleasant surprise on Medli's face. This could imply that there might be a romantic relationship between the two.
At the end of the game, Komali finds Link and Tetra floating on the Great Sea, where Medli, her new friend, Makar, the Sage of Wind and Tetra's Pirates find them shortly afterwords. It is presumed that Komali stayed on the ship to help Tetra and her crew find a new Hyrule and stay with his friends.
