Maxlixoco is the High Moon Priest, chief of the cult that deifies Tectuktitlay. He is a stringent, petty fanatic and brutally punishes lesser priests who aren’t sufficiently attentive to their duties. A withered old man of 80, Maxlixoco is the son of Tectuktitlay, who saw to his child’s rise through the ranks of the templars. The High Moon Priest is a spiteful madman who earnestly believes his father’s propaganda and brooks not the slightest expression of doubt about Tectuktitlay in his presence.
