Xibalba

Backstory

Xibalba was born into a lineage of temple guardians sworn to protect sacred Mayan sites from desecration. When Spanish conquistadors began their incursions, her order fractured—some elders counseled retreat, others sought armed resistance. She chose a harder path: infiltrate the merchant's expedition, learn the outsiders' intentions, and ensure the Jade Serpent remains in worthy hands or stays buried forever. Her scarred knuckles and keen eyes mark her as someone who has fought for something larger than herself.
