Ix Chel

Backstory

Ix Chel is a keeper of forgotten Mayan rituals and astronomical lore, raised by his grandmother—a priestess who survived the city-state wars by hiding sacred knowledge in oral tradition and coded symbols. Caught between two worlds, he speaks Spanish fluently but refuses to abandon his heritage, making him invaluable to those who seek the temple not for conquest but for preservation. He believes the Jade Serpent is a test, not a prize, and that only those pure of intention can safely retrieve it.
