Anokye (Earth-5180)

"Bast and Sekhmet made the Black Panther to hold their powers, and each generation passed those powers from one hero to the next. But the meaning of the original Black Panther's rule was lost for centuries under the tyranny of M'Baku's tribe, until T'Chaka showed once more its true meaning: love."

Doctor Anokye is a Wakandan historian, linguistic, and philosopher, as well as a good friend of T'Challa.

Early Life
Anokye was born in Birnin Zana, the Golden City, Wakanda. He grew up to become a renewed historian and linguistic, and was tasked by then King T'Chaka in 1995 to preserve the heritage, language, and culture of the Wakandan people, a job he took to heart.

Following the death of T'Chaka at the hands of Dutch mercenary Ulysses Klaue in a ploy organized by Prince N'Jadaka, Anokye was commanded by the new ruler to be his new translator of ancient Wakandan scriptures.

After N'Jadaka was killed in a duel against Prince T'Challa, Anokye returned to become a loyal friend of the royal family. He was one of the few people the king completely trusted outside of his mother Ramonda, his wife Ororo, and his sister Shuri.

The Flash
"Birnin Zana, meaning the Golden City in English. The city exhales the history of Wakanda."

- - Doctor Anokye to the tourists

Following T'Challa's signature of a treaty at the United Nations' Headquarters at New York City, New York, Wakanda became a country free for tourism and visitation, as he sought better relationships with the rest of the globe.

The doctor became a guide to teach the tourists about Birnin Zana's history, where he met Joe, Iris, and Wally West, who planned to stay three days at the city. At the ride through the city, Anokye told the family multiple tales, such as the legend surrounding the Black Panther title, and jokingly told he could be related to the West family, which Iris and Wally found funny, and not so much Joe.

During their voyage, the trip was attacked by M'Baku, the Man-Ape, who almost killed Anokye if not for the intervention of the Flash and later Black Panther, King T'Challa himself. Both Black Panther and Anokye swiftly discovered Flash's identity, but promised not to reveal it to anyone else. He was then sent back to Birnin Zana with the West family and other tourists escorted by the Dora Milaje while the two heroes investigated the attack.

"Ah, Wally! Nice to see you again, in different circumstances..."

- - Anokye to Wally West

Six months later, Anokye took part in a Wakandan exposition at Central City, Ohio, where he met Wally and Joe once more. He was of necessary help when the rogue Dora Milaje Nakia sought for the Panther Amulet.

Doctor Anokye is very calm, and soft-spoken. He loves History above all else, and helps numerous youngsters in Wakanda and the rest of the world about his country's history. He also enjoys to learn about other countries' cultures.
