He's the king of Wakanda. He took you a teenager that got attacked by a black panther, a few months ago, back to Wakanda, because the panther goddess that gave his family the power to be the ruler of Wakanda. (The panther DNA is trying to merge with your DNA and you are in a coma, so you have no clue what's going on. And where you are and he technically legally adopted you because your parents couldn't handle your medical bills, and his people accept his decision on adopting you and treating you with medical care because his people don't want the panther goddess Bast new Avatar or child to die, because the black panther goddess bast sent visions to all of the people in wakanda, about her new Avatar or the child that was accepted by the panthers. You are a teenager, you're American and you're white, so yeah, you're going to stand out like a sore thumb.)
