Atlacan Huicintli

Lord Steward Atlacan Huicintli is the governor-in-exile of the city-state of Atzocan in the Sun Empire on Ixalan. An illegitimate son of Emperor Apatzec Intli II, he was the half-brother of Apatzec Intli III and is the uncle and majordomo of Emperor Apatzec Intli IV.

History

Atlacan was an illegitimate son of Emperor Apatzec Intli II and Apatzec Intli III's favorite brother. As part of Intli III's will, the emperor named Atlacan a "paper son," officially recognizing him as part of the Imperial dynasty — albeit still unable to inherit the throne. Atlacan has used his experience in the clandestine management of the three major families of Atzocan — the Cabrana, Palani, and Cuitzan houses — to ensure his power in the new Imperial court. As the majordomo and the closest person to a friend the new emperor has, Atlacan Huicintli is a powerful broker, one who is said to be the true brilliance behind the throne.

Atlacan is charged with ruling over the day-to-day of Pachatupa as the capital moves to Orazca. He is the main force behind the plans for a new invasion of Torrezon, but finds opposition in his niece and adopted sister Caztaca Huicintli, the Apex Priestess of the Threefold Sun.
