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 has finally gained eternal life after becoming a vampire. He also seems to be careless in regards to his people, as he slams one of his followers into the ground after draining their life force. His tribe is known to be cannibalistic and to hold sacrificial rituals similar to the one shown.[2]
Abilities
After obtaining vampiric abilities from the Stone Mask, the chieftain demonstrates being able to drain the life force out of people. In addition, he also demonstrates incredible strength, creating a large crevice from slamming a human into the ground.
History
Background
The man is the chief of a cannibalistic Aztec tribe that flourished in Mexico around the 12th-16th century.[2] His tribe is known to have done sacrificial rituals.
Phantom Blood
Long before the events of Phantom Blood, the chieftain, wearing a Stone Mask, sacrifices a maiden on an altar as part of a ritual. His mask absorbs her blood and pierces his brain, turning him into a vampire. He proudly announces that he's gained eternal life, and then 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]
