Priest-counselor (okomfo) of Osei Tutu I; foundational architect of the Asante state-constitutional framework; conjuror of the Sika Dwa Kofi (Golden Stool) at the 1701 council of Kumasi. Born c. 1655 CE at Awukugua-Akwapim; trained in the Akwapim priestly tradition; met Osei Tutu at the Akwamu court during their shared youth and formed the political-spiritual alliance that would produce the Asante imperial state-formation. Designed the Asante royal-council structure (Asantemanhyiamu), the imperial-state ritual calendar (Adae Festival cycle), and the constitutional codes (77-laws of Komfo Anokye). The 1701 conjuration of the Sika Dwa Kofi is the foundational sacred-constitutional act of the Asante Empire: through ritual invocation, Komfo Anokye called down from heaven the gold-leafed wooden stool containing the soul of the Asante nation, establishing the constitutional anchor that endures to the present. His sword, driven into the ground at the foundational council, has never been removed and marks the magical-foundational anchor of the Asante state — Okomfo-Anokye Hospital in Kumasi was built around the sword location. Died c. 1717 CE; in some recensions died simultaneously with Osei Tutu I in the Akyem war or shortly thereafter.
