Huitlapacti is cousin by marriage to the king of the Nahuatla Tribe, Moctapotl. His wife is Tlapatla. Prior to Savage Empire, the insane Dr. Spector had made him invulnerable, making it a simple task for Huitlapacti to put the shaman Oaxtepac into prison and force his cousin to flee, thus usurping power in the tribe. Huitlapacti became a bloodthirsty dictator, hated and feared by his own people. When the invulnerability-field was shut down with the destruction of Kotl, the furious people of the tribe lynched Huitlapacti, enabling Moctapotl to return to power.
