From the Movies

Malé-Dee served in the Galactic Senate during the transition from Galactic Republic to Galactic Empire. He was one of the Petition of 2,000, signatories that formally expressed their concerns with Palpatine's rule during the crisis of the Clone Wars. The petition called for him to relinquish his emergency powers, and do away with his appointed governors. Malé-Dee was one of the handful of Senators present when Padmé Amidala presented the Chancellor with the petition.

From the Expanded Universe

Uyter, an agrarian world, has historically been independent-minded. Senators from this planet have consistently championed the individual rights of worlds and sectors to govern themselves, and have bristled at legislation that gave more political power to Coruscant. At the start of the Clone Wars, Senator Lexi Dio continued that tradition, using her position in the Loyalist Committee to voice decentralist concerns.

Following her assassination during the war, she was replaced by Senator Malé-Dee, from the Visdic territories of Uyter. He was considerably more soft-spoken and less confrontational than his predecessor.

Behind the Scenes

During pre-production, before many of the ancillary characters of Episode III were given proper names, the designs of Malé-Dee were simply identified as "Male Senator." This no-frills moniker became the basis of his name. He was played by actor Kee Chang in the film.
