Zuri
Advisor
Zuri was the advisor to T'Chaka and continued to be the advisor to T'Challa. He is a shaman who handles the coronation of the Black Panther and other Wakandan rituals. To say more would spoil the movie so I will get to that in the review after I see it myself.
In the comics, Zuri was a warrior and loyal companion to T'Chaka and later served as a special attendant and warrior to T'Challa He is also good friends with Thor. To say more may again provide spoilers for the movie.
W'Kabi
Head of Security for Wakanda Border/Best Friend of T'Challa
Well, from the sub title above is all I know about W'Kabi without some major spoilers. He did escape from his body being taken over by a white blind artist... wait no that was another movie...
In the comics, W'Kabi is the chief of Wakandan security and T'Challa's second in command. He also got his Winter Soldier on by having a bionic arm that could shoot blasts.
M'Baku
Leader of the Jabari Tribe
M'Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe who have completely removed themselves from mainstream society. M'Baku is also the Rival of T'Challa who believes he should be ruler of Wakanda.In the comics, M'Baku is also know as Man Ape; a name not used in the movie for obvious reasons... The White Gorilla cult had been outlawed from Wakanda while the Panther cult was dominant. T'Challa revived the White Gorilla cult going against T'Challa's edicts. He even killed a rare white gorrila that lived in the jungles near Wakanda. He bathed in its blood and ate its flesh gaining its strength.
Erik Killmonger
N'Jadaka
N'Jadaka is his Wakandan birth name that he changed to Erik Stevens who served as an American black-ops solder. He gained the name Erik Killmonger from his acts in the Black-ops. As seen in the trailer, he is working with Ulysses Klaue a known enemy of Wakanda. Erik is after the Wakandan throan for some spoilery reasons....
Ulysses Klaue (Klaw)
Enemy of Wakanda
If you know Black Panther you have heard the name Klaue. A man who on countless times have tried to invade Wakanda and steal its Vibranium. He succeeds, but is branded by T'Chaka's soldiers with the symbol for thief (There is a lot more to this story that we will get in Black Panther). Klaue claims that he is the only outsider that has ever seen Wakanda... Anyway, Klaue sales the stolen Vibranium to Ultron to make his new body for billions in Avengers Age of Ultron. He can't leave well enough alone as he pushes Ultron's buttons calling out that Ultron is just one of Tony Stark's robotic designs. In anger, Ultron grabbed his arms and cut his hand clean off. So, yea this will lead to him getting that Vibranium Claw. We will see what goes down and role he will have to play the Black Panther.
In the comics, Klaue was hired to kill T'Chaka if he didn't negotiate Wakanda's resources like Vibranium and he succeeded. As he fled he was wounded by a young T'Challa. He was taken care of the the Beljian government for over 10 years. They experimented on him and had to amputate his injured hand and fitted it with a claw like prosthetic. Ulysses Klaue became simple known as Klaw.
