Overview
Xbalanque was the first Pyro Archon of Natlan. Like all of the Pyro Archons that came after, Xbalanque was originally a mortal man with no special power. At some point, he showed compassion to Och-Kan when the latter was imprisoned by the dragons. He defeated the lord of the volcano, Xiuhcoatl, and was "revived from the flames".
After becoming Pyro Archon, Xbalanque bargained with Ronova, the Ruler of Death, to borrow her power in order to establish the rules that would aid Natlan's fight against the Abyss—the Ode of Resurrection and the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame. He also set up the systems and rules that would allow future mortals to ascend to Pyro Archonhood.
