Hanuman
Hanuman (a.k.a. The White Gorilla)
Hanuman the god of judgment and strength of the Wakandan Pantheon.
The name Hanuman is a relatively recent addition to his lore. Before the 1500s, he was called always Ghekre, which is believed to be a corruption of Gbekre, the God of Judgement in the Baule pantheon of Cote d'Ivore and Ghana. Some scholars have also connected him to the Ekang god Ngi.
A monolotrous sect of the Wakandan Native Religion, the Inkola Ghekre, worships only Hanuman, although they acknoledge the existence of the other Orisha. The sect is found primarily in the Jibari-Lands, as the Jabari count Hanuman as an ancestor.
