Personality
As the leader of his tribe, he is viewed by his people as proud and powerful. He is shown to be power-hungry, as he declares that he finally gained eternal life after becoming a vampire. He also seems to be careless of his people, as he drained the life force out of one of his cult members. His tribe is known to be cannibalistic with sacrificial rituals.[2]
Abilities
After obtaining vampiric abilities from the Stone Mask, the chieftain demonstrated being able to drain the life force out of other people.
During the 12th-16th century, the chieftain sacrifices a maiden on an altar in a ritual. After letting his Stone Mask absorb her blood and becoming a vampire, he proudly announces that he's gained eternal life. Then he asks one of his cult members to become one of his life force; the member agrees, and so the chieftain absorbs the member's blood. The rest of the tribe cheers for the chieftain.
It is unknown what happens afterward, as it is stated that he and his tribe disappeared from history, leaving only their ruins, never to be seen again. Nonetheless, the time of his tribe was the earliest known appearance of the Stone Mask.[2]
He's playable in the Phantom Blood PS2 game in the extra battles mode, where he needs to defeat 500 Aztecs on the sacrificial altar. His special attack is a stab from his knife.
