Entourage
The most important person in the chief's entourage is the priest or priestess (okomfo). Traditionally, the priest tells the chief when it is for example time to start a war or to marry.
There is also a stool wife. No matter if a chief is married or not, when installed, he will be married to a very young girl. Nowadays, it is not obligatory, though polygamy is still legal. Today, the symbolic act is sufficient: During parades, a stool wife is sitting in front of the chief.
A chief has one or more linguists (okyeami, sg.). A chief never talks in public, but conveys messages through his linguist who is also responsible for the pouring of libations.
