Biography
He and Wuqu-Batz' served the great K'iche' king K'iq'ab and he rewarded them with the royal titles and the power to rule.[1] Wuqu-Batz' was an Ahpo Sotz'il. The sons of K'iq'ab became jealous of the growing power and led a revolt against their father that seriously damaged his authority.[2]
After one incident, the K'iche' lords sentenced Hun-Toh and Wuqu-Batz' to death against the wishes of K'iq'ab, who warned his Kaqchikel friends and advised them to flee.[3]
Hun-Toh and other lords went with their people out of the K'iche' capital to found their own capital at Iximche.[4]
His successor was his son Lahuh-Ah.

gollark: Mod or modpack?
gollark: Compatibility is utterly awful, unfortunately, but my tiny pack runs fine.
gollark: You can install it with Generic Modpack™! First modpack to use a node.js installer for no good reason.
gollark: OpenCubicChunks exists.
gollark: Infinite build height is fun.
