His mission to reclaim lost glory and conquer rival Oba-Ekwe drives the series' gripping narrative. Eze Akuanyanugbou II is a character shrouded in mystery, marked by his superstitions and an unwavering attachment to his family.
Mgbaduga

As Nwafor navigates the challenges of family, vengeance, and a quest for answers, his character unfolds with a quirk—a propensity for fits of rage.
Ogbuagu Kabaka
Ogbuagu Kabaka, aged forty-five, stands as the War General (Ezekoro) of Idu-Amaja. Tall, dark, and stoic, he harbors a secret desire to usurp the throne from his distant cousin, Eze Akuanyanugbou II.

Awele

Isi Ani
