Clone betrayal

Kcaj was present when Jedi Master Shaak Ti turned to the council as she believed that Tup may have a tumor. Tup's friend, Fives, believed that there was a tumor in his head, but was silenced.

Mission to Bardotta

Kcaj was present when Plo Koon reported that he found the lightsaber of Master Sifo-Dyas. Yoda confirmed that it was and decided to investigate. Kcaj was again present when it was reported that Dooku was responsible for the purchase of the clone army.

Crystal Crisis
Later, Kcaj was present when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker discussed a giant kyber crystal they had found on Utapau. He was present again when they reported that the crystal has been destroyed, causing Yoda to remind the Council of stories were the kyber crystals were used for weapons that the Jedi and Sith used to fight each other.

Mission to Utapau
Near the end of the war, Kcaj was present when the Council granted Skywalker a seat on the Jedi Council, after he had been appointed there by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. He was also present when they discussed about how Palpatine had told them that General Grievous was hiding on Utapau and recommended they send Skywalker.
