Some 3,700 years ago, Atzanteotl was an elven clan-lord named Atziann living in the Glantri area. When some of his fellow elves found and accidentally triggered a dangerous Blackmoor device left in the Broken Lands, the resulting cataclysm drove the surviving elves in the area underground. Atziann and his clan travelled the labyrinth of clan-members perished. These experiences made him very dark, fatalistic, and bitter. After years of wandering lost below the earth, Atziann emerged once again into sunlight...but it was the wrong sun. He found an exit into the Hollow World, in the lands of the Azcan Empire. With his magical abilities, he was able to conceal himself from their eyes and hide among the Azcans until he learned their language and culture. He gained quite an appreciation for the lethal, uncompromising Azca and their culture before continuing his wanderings. Eventually, he became an Immortal under the sponsorship of Thanatos. Under the name of Atzanteotl he began to turn the minds of shadow-elf and Azcan clerics to his own twisted evils. Certain Shadow Elves, especially the Schattenalfen clan, began construction of a city, Aengmor, built along Azcan lines and dedicated to the glory of Atzanteotl. The Azca, both those in the Hollow World and those on the outer world, increasingly turned away from the following of Ixion and Ka the Preserver and to that of Atzanteotl; they introduced human sacrifices into their way of life. Since those days, he has driven his Schattenalfen further underground and reoccupied their city Aengmor with orcs. He has inspired all Shadow Elves with a hatred and envy of Alfheim for their own homeland. His religion is one of utter evil under the rigours of law requiring human sacrifice and utilising serpent imagery, and many humanoids worship him as well. On other worlds he is also known as Hextor. Atzanteotl appears either as a handsome but sinister elf dressed in black, or a jet-black feathered serpent with the face of an elf.
