Career
He is credited with being the "empire builder" of the Ashanti Confederacy. During his role as king, which lasted from 1720 (some sources cite 1718, while leading the army against the Akan state of the Akyem) to his death in 1750, he fought against the Bono, another Akan state, and had defeated them by 1723. Discrepancies in sources imply he either died in 1742, or around 1750.
Upon his death, he was succeeded by Kusi Obodom.
