After Shuri accepted her role as the Black Panther, she oversaw the many goals and dreams that T'Challa had for Wakanda. Shuri changes the mission of the Hatut Zeraze and has them act as Agents of Wakanda who would protect and ensure Wakanda's new future.
Shuri was made the minster of science at the Wakandan International Outreach Centre in Oakland. Shuri brought in her friend Taku as minister of information at the centre. When the centre is attacked by T'Shan and Zenzi's rebels, Shuri heads back to Wakanda to put an end to the rebellion and stop Tetu who had devious aspirations to marry into the royal family through Shuri then murder T'Challa in order to become king.
Tetu is a member of Merchant Tribe or Hyena Clan. Tetu was present during the coronation challenge of T'Challa but he was disappointed when his grandmother didn't allow him to challenge T'Challa for the right to rule. When Wakanda opened its borders to trade with the outside world, the Hyena Clan wasn't pleased. They never approved of Killmonger's push to weaponize the War Dogs and this latest change was the last straw. Tetu became a pupil of Dr. A'Kurru U’mbaya, a Wakandan biologist who was given the task of cultivating a new strand of the Heart Shaped Herb so that tradition of the Black Panther could live on. Tetu exposed himself to some of the doctor's botanical advances and discovered that he could effect Nature itself. Tetu allies himself with the wayward Zenzi and incites a rebellion.
Okoye is the youngest daughter of Dr. A'Kurru U’mbaya. Her eldest sister had no desire to become a part of the king's Dora Milaje and left Wakanda to became a nuclear physicist. Okoye's sister made several requests to King T'Chaka to have Vibranium sent to the United States in order to reinforce the containment of nuclear energy but her requests were denied. Okoye's sister died from exposure to radioactive materials. Okoye loved her sister but viewed her decisions as vain which inevitably led to her tragic end which made her decision clear to join the Dora Milaje. Okoye must stop her father who has become Tetu's monstrous puppet known as Icon.
Zenzi is a Nigandan whose family and village were slaughtered by the late Eric Killmonger. Zenzi managed to escape because she prayed to the war goddess Sekmet for liberation. Sekmet gave Zenzi empathic abilities which would allow her to manipulate the emotions in others. Zenzi turned her captors against each other and she enjoyed watching them mutilate one another. Nakia and her War Dog operatives arrived in Niganda to witness the aftermath of Zenzi's revenge. Sekmet spoke to Zenzi and told her to go to Wakanda so that she could incite a rebellion when the kingdom was at its most vulnerable. Zenzi saw a kindred spirit in Tetu who wore his emotions on the outside and hid nothing from her. Together, they will stop the mining of Vibranium and turn the tribes on one another.
Nakia isn't happy with T'Challa's decision to disband the Hatut Zeraze or "War Dogs" in order to establish trust with the rest of the world. Nakia was happier being a spy because she liked the freedom to see the world and not feel confined. She assumes this is T'Challa's way of compelling her to accept his proposal to become queen of Wakanda. Nakia's anger and frustration makes her target for Zenzi who materializes these mixed emotions in Nakia into an alternative personality called Malice. As Malice, Nakia will bring down the Black Panther's hopes of a brighter future and end the king's rule.
Dr. A'Kurru U’mbaya is a Wakandan biologist who has been tasked by the king to re-cultivate the Heart Shaped Herb so that future kings of Wakanda can wear the mantle of the Black Panther. The doctor's study in botany stems from his grief that he couldn't save his eldest daughter who left Wakanda to become a nuclear physicist but died from exposure to radioactive materials. The doctor's pupil Tetu has been secretly exposing himself to the doctor's botanical advancements in creating a new strand of the Heart Shaped Herb. When the doctor discovered what Tetu was doing, Tetu used his newfound powers to transform the doctor into a wooden golem that both he and Zenzi could manipulate. The doctor's new form became an "icon" of Wakanda's disfavor of the king's radical changes to the nation.
Changamire acts as T'Challa's new shaman and advisor after the loss of Zuri. His ideas of destabilizing the Wakandan monarchy and bringing an end to long held traditions has made him unfavorable to the ruling family. T'Challa respects Changamire and accepts his decision to resign his post. Tetu and Zenzi consider Changamire as a patriarch to their decision to incite a rebellion but he doesn't agree with their bloody methods of ending the Wakandan monarchy.
Ramonda has always loved her brother Changamire but she never approved of his radical notions to ending the monarchy in Wakanda. Her worst fears to her brother's ideas becomes a reality when a rebellion in Wakanda sparks a civil war among the tribes.
Everett Ross takes some time off from the CIA and agrees to be a liaison for King T'Challa in order to make sure the globalization of Wakanda goes smoothly. However, Ross' job becomes complicated when a rebellion in Wakanda makes matters difficult. This skirmish among the tribes can be bad for Wakanda's image on the world stage.
T'Shan is W'Kabi's younger brother and he pretends to relent his decision of the Border Tribe siding with Killmonger. T'Challa wants to reestablish trust with those who may still hold a grudge for the decisions he has made so he appoints T'Shan as the Wakandan ambassador at the United Nations. Zenzi visits T'Shan and brings out the worst emotions in T'Shan and manipulates him to discredit Wakanda's image.
Omoro is T'Shan's valet but he is secretly keeping tabs on T'Shan for T'Challa if for any reason, T'Shan intends to setback Wakanda's push onto the world stage.
S'Yan is Taku's father and Shuri's mentor who encouraged her innovative nature to advance Wakanda. S'Yan assisted T'Challa when the prince had to track down a pair of mercenaries who kidnapped Wakandan citizens and took them to Paraguay. After the opening of Wakanda's gates to the world, S'Yan was appointed by Shuri to be the chairman of the Wakanda International Outreach Centre. S'Yan couldn't be more proud of his son and surrogate daughter for their efforts.

He was stationed in San Francisco where he established his position at the Atlas Investment Group under the alias Derek Khanata.
