Izcalli (イスカリ?) is a figure appearing in the South American Lostbelt.
Profile
Identity
Izcalli is the leader of the Ocelomeh and a year into the process of becoming Tezcatlipoca. In Aztec civilization, the people and king would make offerings to Tezcatlipoca by picking out a boy for him to incarnate intoWP. Over the year, they were forced to mature into a strong and beautiful person worthy of being the god's vessel, and given better food and pleasures than even the king himself. And then at the end of the year, if they manage this, they will be acknowledged as Tezcatlipoca made manifest. In the South American Lostbelt, however, Izcalli explains that the final step to become equal to Tezcatlipoca is to kill the Dinosaur King, which he succeeds in,[1] and is acknowledged as having become Tezcatlipoca by Black Tezcatlipoca.[2]
Moctezuma II in Fate/Grand Order From Lostbelt.
Izcalli's true identity is Moctezuma IIWP (モテクソマ2世, Motekusoma Nisei?), who ruled during the Aztec Empire's end in Proper Human History.
According to an Aztec legend, after Tezcatlipoca defeated Quetzalcoatl , Quetzalcoatl vanished but promised to return one day to bring glory to the Aztecs once more. When Hernán CortésWP and his Spaniards arrived in Mexico during the reign of Moctezuma II, one story says that Moctezuma believed Cortés to be Quetzalcoatl and so welcomed him into his city, only for Cortés to bring about the fall of Moctezuma's empire.[3] However the truth is that Moctezuma knew Cortés was not Quetzalcoatl. Moctezuma wanted to stop the human sacrificial culture of his people, and invited Cortés into Tenochtitlan with the hope of using Cortés, hoping he could manipulate him into helping Moctezuma end the Aztecs' sacrificial culture. Unfortunately for Moctezuma, Cortés had already been told everything he needed to know by an indigenous woman only remembered today as La MalincheWP. Rather than Moctezuma using Cortés, Cortés used him. The Spaniards and a united group of tribes who hated the Aztecs destroyed the Aztecs and Tenochtitlan.[4] For inviting in the man who ended their empire, Moctezuma II was stoned to death by his own people.[3]
Upon being summoned into the Lostbelt, Tezcatlipoca revived Moctezuma by using his soul and fashioning a human vessel out of maize, the flesh of a god, with his Authority and one of Tezcatlipoca's lungs. Moctezuma was chosen as someone with strong ideologies and unwavering hatred against human history, since Tezcatlipoca's goal was to sacrifice him to awaken ORT. But Tezcatlipoca also wanted to give Moctezuma a second chance, because he had doubts about the end of the Aztec era and if starting it anew was a correct decision. He wanted to see what choices Moctezuma II would make if given another chance.[5]
