Appearance

Tartolmec appears as a flawlessly handsome, muscular man of South American descent with striking golden eyes and shoulder length black hair. He is often seen wearing a green armored mantle with golden bracers, a feathered helmet and an elaborate green and gold skirt with green foot wraps. He has a long cloak that he wears for official royal business.

Background

The Forgotten Islands need a ruler. A powerful figure that is linked until their death to the mystical energy of the world. No one knows how or why they're chosen, but there are often signs to herald the coming of the new ruler and they often arrive dramatically. Tartolmec was no exception. During a festival celebrating the great heroes of the Islands a group of farmers saw a shimmering beam of light cast into a field by the moon. While walking through the fields they were greeted by firgri, small winged lizards that are said to gather near important places. In a scorched clearing in the fields, surrounded by moon glow, was a child. The farmers immediately recognized the signs and took the child to their local priests.

Word spread quickly and the current God King of the Forgotten Islands, Zuma, became worried. If this child, who the farmers had named Tartolmec, was to be the new God King he would lose not just power, but his life. The magic of the islands would leave his body and he would wither to nothing. He knew that he couldn't kill the child directly thanks to them sharing the divine power of the island so he had to come up with other plays. To his dismay, each plan failed, foiled either by the godlike strength of the child himself or by the very Islands themselves changing the odds in his favor. Tartolmec grew rapidly, becoming a full grown man within the span of years. And Zuma knew his time was coming to an end.

At his lowest point, Zuma was approached by the greatest foe of the Forgotten Islands, the demon lord Tzanthl. Disguised as a beautiful woman named Coaxoch, Tzanthl offered him everything he craved and promised to give him a child that would inherit the kingship of the islands. This was unheard of, as the Islands chose who became the new God King and it wasn't hereditary. Despite his misgivings about this woman, he agreed to lay with her. The next day Coaxoch gave birth to a full grown man with pale white skin and burning blue eyes. Coaxoch named him Ichtaca and promised Zuma that he would live forever. Unfortunately, Zuma found himself aged and weak as Ichtaca absorbed not only his strength but the strength of the Forgotten Islands before setting off to kill Tartolmec.

The son of Zuma and Tartolmec clashed on the island of Aulocoo where Tartolmec had first been found. The fighting was terrifying and destructive, shaking the ground and threatening to sink the islands! Though at first Tartolmec proved stronger than Ichtaca's stolen powers, the demonic magic of Tzanthl started to turn the tides and it appeared he was going to lose. At the last moment, Zuma found the courage to make up for his mistakes and sacrificed himself to one of the legendary Five Wells that were part of his domain. Tartolmec's strength surged while Ichtaca was weakened and the Eagle Warriors came from the sky to destroy Tzanthl's demonic servants and turn the tide in the new God King's favor.

In the aftermath of this battle, Tartolmec was undisputed and led a heroic life fitting to a God King. He destroyed demons, hunted monsters that lurked in the dangerous parts of the Islands and threw wild and lavish parties. He soon began to realize that the Forgotten Islands were linked to another realm though... Earth. His first appearance in the 70s marked him as something of a pest. He brought his palace to the skies over Campston, Idaho and began inviting women up in hopes of finding himself new brides. He caused quite a panic and heroes (Doc Nightmare, American Woman, Black Badge and Champion) were called in to drive him off. They were able to goad the God King into hosting a contest and with a little cheating, they were able to drive him off without him taking anyone with him to the Forgotten Islands.

In the 80s he showed up two more times, once when he started a brawl over a museum display featuring a piece of Forgotten Islands relic tech and again when he was chasing an extradimensional monster he was hunting! In the 90s he stayed for a longer period of time. Seeking a break from his home realm, he joined a group called Stryke Force X (consisting of Blade Shot, Madame Edge, Starblader and Crimson Fog) and used his relic tech to help fight crime. Unknown to Tartolmec, this wild adventuring was not appreciated by his high priest Aucutl. A chance to get rid of the God King and take the island for himself came in the form of a bone pale man with burning blue eyes that offered Aucutl all the power he could ever want and more.

Tartolmec's favorite wife, the Radiant Jewel Ianthe discovered this plan and tried to warn her husband, but Aucutl discovered her and attacked her. Badly wounded, she escaped through one of the Five Wells to Earth. Though she died from her wounds, she was able to hide her spirit from Aucutl who then told Tartolmec that his wife was attacked by a demon and fled to Earth. With the help of one of Tartolmec's other wives (Tiale) he poisoned the God King before he went off on his search, weakening him and causing him to lose his grip on reality. While searching, he came into contact with The Protectors of the World and started a fight with them. With the help of a woman named Lindy Okida and the spirit of Ianthe, the Protectors were able to calm Tartolmec down and uncover Aucutl's plot.

Though it seemed like the problem was purely Tartolmec's at first, the Protectors learned that Tzanthl's power was leaking through to Earth and would poison and cause irreparable damage to the planet if not stopped. With their help, Tartolmec reclaimed his throne and began the process of rebuilding alongside Lindy, who chose to stay with him.
