Kadaj is one of the main antagonists of the film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. He is the leader of the Remnants of Sephiroth whose goal is to find Jenova, who they refer to as “mother”.

Kadaj first appears in the film along with Loz and Yazoo on the cliff overlooking Midgar awaiting their “brother’s” return. When Cloud arrives, Loz and Yazoo engage him in battle while Kadaj summons the Shadow Creepers. During the battle, Kadaj calls one of the Turks asking for the location of Jenova (likely Reno due to his reaction), eventually requesting to speak with the president. Even though the Remnants gain the upper hand on Cloud, Kadaj calls back the Shadow Creepers, effectively ending the battle.

Kadaj heads to Healin Lodge where he easily overcomes Reno and Rude. He angrily demands Jenova from Rufus and hints at the return of Sephiroth.

At the Forgotten Capital, Kadaj tells the children that they are all children of Jenova, and professes that he can cure them of their Geostigma. He has the children drink the tainted water in order to activate the Reunion instinct, intending for the children to lead him to Jenova’s location. When Cloud arrives to save the children, the Remnants engage him in battle. They eventually overwhelm him but Cloud is saved by Vincent Valentine.

While Loz and Yazoo are in Edge, Kadaj holds Rufus in Midgar, elating at the events to come. Eventually, Kadaj summons Bahamut SIN to attack Edge. While defeats the summon, Rufus reveals that he has had Jenova the entire time. He tosses Jenova over the edge of the building, bringing the wrath of Kadaj. Kadaj jumps after the box, catching it and landing on the street below. He escapes on his motorcycle followed by Loz, Yazoo, and Cloud. Kadaj leads Cloud to Aerith’s church, where Aerith’s healing water cures Cloud of his Geostigma and harms Kadaj.

Kadaj flees, and Cloud finds him outside of the old Shinra Building. They engage in battle and Kadaj is eventually overpowered. Kadaj leaps from the building and unites with Jenova’s cells, transforming into Sephiroth.

Cloud defeats Sephiroth, resulting in Kadaj's death. He is drawn into the Lifestream by Aerith's voice.
