Emperor Apatzec Intli III is the current emperor of the Sun Empire on Ixalan.[1][2]
Description
The new ruler of the Sun Empire, responsible for its current mood of expansion and conquest, is a fierce man. He is middle-aged, having succeeded his extremely long-lived and conservative mother, and has spent most of his life chafing under her authority and anxious to prove himself as a leader and a warrior.
As soon as his mother died, he set about changing everything he disliked about her rule, launching the empire into a state of renaissance — and no small amount of turmoil.
Apatzec trusts in the strength of his armies and his own leadership to secure the good fortune of the empire. He was named after emperor [[Apatzec Intli III who once abused the power of the Immortal Sun in an effort to conquer the River Heralds. Despite (or perhaps because of) his namesake, he initially put little stock in the legends of the Immortal Sun, holding no faith that it would be found, let alone alter the course of history. Learning of the visions of the warrior poet Huatli, though, convinced him that the golden city would be found and the Immortal Sun once again could be used to secure the empire's victory over its foes. He committed significant resources to the search for the city, painfully aware that his initial hesitation would prove costly. At the same time, there were leaders who feared that his eagerness to find the Immortal Sun was leaving the cities of the Sun Empire vulnerable to attacks by their enemies.
