Biography
K’shamba was a member of the Wakandan high council who ruled Wakanda after T’challa’s last child died from unspecified sources. With no one of royal bloodline left the mantle of the Black Panther was left vacant. He was the first object to the way the high council had been ruling wakanda.
When Dr. Doom invaded Wakanda he banded together with the resistance after the council had signed over the ruling of the country to Doom for fear of their lives. Doom was interested in his countries Vibranium. He fought valiantly, decisively and with ferocity they had not seen in years. He quickly rose to leadership of the rebels and was later granted the Black Panther mantle which allowed him rally the rest of Wakanda to his coarse and they defeated Doom and drove him back.
With Doom defeated he is made the new monarch of Wakandan and the council is dissolved. It is later revealed that he is either under the control of Doom or allied with him at some point. The Dora Milaje and Hatut Zeraze seem to be non existent in his future world.
