T'chaka was the King of Wakanda until 2003.
He was born in 1922, from a line of rulership unbroken for millennia. His father was Azzuri The Wise, and his mother the Amazon of Bana-Mighdall called Nanali. At the age of eighteen, he undertook the trials necessary to become a true Prince of his people and the future ruler of that nation. Consuming the heart-shaped herb granted him incredible physical capabilities, and ancient technology in the palace educated him on sciences otherwise unavailable to his people.
T'chaka was one of the first Wakandans to travel extensively outside their ancestral home willingly in thousands of years. Only the warrior women of the Dora Milaje were permitted to travel thus. When ancient computers in the palace spotted a spaceship crashing to Earth, T'chaka took it upon himself to investigate. In search of ancient Kheran visitors to Earth, he stumbled into a new friend-- Jor-El of Krypton. The two were fast friends and fought side by side through much of World War II as part of the Justice Defenders.
After the war, T'chaka returned home and set about implementing changes to Wakanda's ancient protocols and customs. Though many resisted at first, T'chaka's tales of a large and violent world eventually convinced the chiefs and priests that Wakanda could not stay in isolation indefinitely. This proved particularly true when the Soviet Union invaded Wakanda in 1983 in an attempt to corner the global supply of Vibranium. T'chaka's leadership unified the tribes and they began sending their children out into the world to study and learn from these other cultures.
T'chaka's son, Prince T'Challa, would become one of these ambassadors and the future bearer of the title Black Panther. In 2003, the raider Ulysses Klaw tried to purchase Vibranium from Wakanda. When T'chaka refused, Klaw assassinated him. In T'chaka's place, his old friend S'Yan steps into place as regent to hold the throne until the prince would come of age.
