Tale: Native-American Immortal (born 1400 as Xinoletac). His vaguely European features predate the arrival of the Spanish by nearly a century. Adopted into the priestly caste, he chose a warrior's path instead. Had an instinctual dislike for his people's blood religion and left the continent when the Spanish arrived. He quickly learned that the Spanish were every bit as brutal as his own people. He traveled the world for many years and assumed the role of defender of weak and hero to those without hope.

Elemental Allies: Mostly-uncontrolled, they can be directed to call down lightning strikes, throw items, and even carry Alejandro in flight.
