Biography[]
Sinchi Chiqa was the emperor of Paititi in the year 1603. During his reign, Andres Lopez and Truylos Serrano, with several soldiers, arrived at their city. They initially told Sinchi Chiqa that they had defected from the Spanish, and needed sanctuary. Andres Lopez befriended Sinchi Chiqa over time, and confessed his true mission, to take the Silver Box of Ix Chel for Trinity. Andres Lopez faith in Trinity had waned, and together with Sinchi Chiqa they hatched a plan to hide the box. Andres Lopez was to take the box from its resting place in the Cenote, and leave behind clues for Sinchi Chiqa's descendants to find it when needed. Just as Lopez had left, a disease spread throughout Paititi, and Sinchi Chiqa issued an order to close the city.
Sinchi Chiqa also crafted the The Shield of the Age Maker.
After his death the Emperor was buried inside the huge statue near the sacrificial altar.
