Ekwensu is deceitful, cunning and dishonest. He is a trickster who is sought in times of war by the kingdom who doesn’t have Ikenga on their side. Ekwensu would provide battle tricks to outwit the Ikenga supported side. Ekwensu is strongly persuasive, manipulative and often antagonistic of CHUKWU. People only go to Ekwensu for help as a last resort as it is believed there is always an unseen consequence and price to pay for any help gotten from Ekwensu. He believes he should have been made the leader of the pantheon by CHUKWU as a result of his Ray Anyasi wisdom. Because of this, he finds every opportunity to make a mockery of the brute and sometimes unintelligent force possessed by Amadioha and Ikenga. Ekwensu did not take any side in the war but isn’t neutral either. He chooses to lend his support to any side at any time depending on what his personal agenda is at the time.
