Lieutenants of the Couatlán
Six "lieutenants" command the Couatlán, if you could call it that. While there is one true leader of the Couatlán, Eztli, she and her five lieutenants guide Couatlán overall by giving out missions to its members acts as nodes of wisdom and mastery in their respective fields.

Eztli

 * Specialization: Combat/Tactics
 * Female Elf (Huastac)
 * Eztli is the de facto leader of the Couatlán.
 * At 500 years old, Eztli is the sister of the elder of the Huastac, and claims to have seen Moztla, the Couatl of the Future who takes on the form of a gargantuan jaguar.
 * Eztli is stern, serious, honest, and sincere. She cares about the region as a whole more than just her own tribe.
 * She wears a massive jaguar-themed headdress, jaguar-reedwood mail and wields a great macuahuitl. She has intricate facial paint and scarification along her flesh, and wears bone jewelry in her ears, eyebrows, nose and lips. Her jet black hair is banded upward and back into a hardened dreadlock pattern.

Yolotli
Eztli's jaguar animal companion. Absolutely loyal to her.

Tlatilo

 * Specialization: Stealth/Infiltration
 * Male Elf (Solmec)
 * Tlatilo covers himself in tribal paints, across his face and body, that help him blend into the jungle environment.
 * 300 years old, Tlatilo is quiet, shy. He is a man of few words, and when he does speak, he is straight and to-the-point. He's non-social and has no sense of humor whatsoever. However, his knowledge of the ways of stealth is unmatched.
 * It's hard to get much information out of him, but he is a long-time friend of Eztli and therefore has his place as her lieutenant.
 * His parents, Cactimoya and Nel, are the leading elders of the Solmec, and sent him to the Couatlán to teach others of the Solmec ways of stealth.

Xehsamaal
(The following information is hidden from players of the Couatlán.)
 * Specialization: Poison/Trapping
 * Male Hueyi (Kaxtik)
 * At 100 years old, Xehsemaal is overconfident, sly, and devoid of empathy. He sees the Couatlán as an opportunity to learn more, meet new people, and have an excuse to kill others with little penalty.
 * His body is covered in tribal tattoos and patterned implants. He is tall and lean.
 * He has unique Kaxtik tribal markings, which include intricate burn marks and branding patterns along his arms and chest, though his face is unmarked.
 * His bonds to his family and tribe are nearly nonexistent, but his isn't disloyal to them either. They are merely the people who raised him and taught him what he knows.

Anquemolo
(The following information is hidden from players of the Couatlán.)
 * Specialization: Hunting/Tracking
 * Male Hueyi (Yichpahal)
 * At 400 years old, Anquemolo is a huge, tall, and barrel-chested hueyi. He is very muscular and is faster than he looks.
 * Anquemolo is larger than life, boisterous and good-natured. He is loud in social situations but becomes deadly quiet and serious when hunting and tracking when he needs to be.
 * He is adorned with Yichpahal tribal paints, similar to the coastal Ilhuicaatl tribes.
 * Despite his good nature, Anquemolo has seen the worst in the Akkens and has had many friends and family captured, tortured, and/or killed, including his four sons.

Ta'akik
(The following information is hidden from players of the Couatlán.)
 * Specialization: Informants/Spies
 * Male Hueyi (Yichpahal)
 * Ta'akik is incredibly young for his position within the Couatlán. At 25 years, he has a natural talent for deception.
 * Most comfortable in the skin of an Akken, Ta'akik is a trickster, jokester, and is constantly swapping forms several times a day while nobody is looking, pretending to be others and consistently getting himself into trouble.
 * Despite his serious lack of professionalism, Ta'akik is very good at lying to others and has a wealth of information regarding the Akkens, their culture, and how they think.
 * His parents were killed in the first wave 20 years ago, and found it best to hide among them when he could. Almost his whole life has been defined by the occupation of the Akkens, and he struggles between knowing who they are and seeing both good and bad qualities of both sides.

Teoquemitl
(The following information is hidden from players of the Couatlán.)
 * Specialization: Teotl Speaker/Primal Magic
 * Female Elf (Teotlihuacan)
 * Teoquemitl was recently the elder of the highly spiritual Teotlihuacan. At 700 years old, she is truly venerable, and is a well of natural wisdom and is in constant commune with the forces of Teotl.
 * She is incredibly elderly, wrinkly and thin. Both her ears have been mutilated, and she has vicious scars down her back. She is missing her right arm, and her other is usually holding a gnarled branch from an ancient ceiba tree, covered in spines.
 * She has left her younger brother Toctli in charge of the Teotlihuacan, faithful in his capabilities to lead the tribe.
 *  While she says she has faith in Toctli's leadership ability, she still feels like he might not be up to the task, and that she is putting her tribe's safety on the line in a selfish quest for personal glory.
 * She plays the wise elder well, but she secretly harbors deep-sseded insecurities about her being one with Teotl, and sometimes feels as though she's a fraud.
