If that be the case, Ethiopia does have its fair share of such historical personalities. Tewodros was depicted by some foreign writers as a "mad dog let loose." Even in Ethiopia, the Gonder clergy are not overly fond of him. And yet, few Ethiopian rulers have captivated posterity as has Tewodros. He has been practically canonized. He inspired playwrights (Germachew Tekle-Hawaryat and Tsegaye Gebre-Medhin) and novelists (Abbe Gubegna).

At an early age, he migrated to the United States, where he joined Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). Soon, Howell became one of Garvey's top-brass members, but Garvey and the UNIA were constantly under the radar of US authorities, which eventually arrested and charged Garvey for various crimes. Garvey was deported in 1928, and Howell was to follow him in 1932. But Howell's activism switched from Garveyism to one that focused on the importance of Selassie I. He saw Selassie as the great Black Messiah, and he established the King of Kings Mission out of respect for Selassie, and appointed himself Selassie's representative in Jamaica.
