Biography

Taku served as Chief Advisor to the Black Panther. Taku has been described as an “eloquent” and somewhat poetic officer for Wakanda. Taku was often seen as a part of the Panther’s inner circle. Taku contacted the Fantastic Four when T’Challa was once captured and imprisoned in Rudyarda. He often traveled with the Prince outside of Wakanda. Taku spent time in residence at the Wakandan Embassy in New York.

Taku often sought thoughtful introspection when dealing with problems of the country. His views often conflicted with the Black Panther’s more militant aide de camp W’Kabi. Taku is gay and in a relationship with Venom.
