Long-nosed God of Lightning and Fire by Royal Appointment
He’s the God with the famous long leaf-nose like a bat – or possibly he has a leaf sticking out of his nostril. He is in charge of lightning. Consequently he carries a torch or sometimes a smoking cigar.
He’s also known as God K. K is for Kings. This special K is involved with protecting the royal household. He helps to pick the right lineage for the upper crust of the ruling classes. Consequently he requires a lot of sacrifices. Throw another peasant on the fire and pass the cigars.
In older classic times he was known as Ah Bolon Dz’acab – the Lord of Innumerable Generations. Note the posh-sounding surname. He’s also one of the Palenque Triad, designated with the Roman numeral ii.
