Xbalanque was a twin god. His twin’s name was Hunahpu, and they were heroes in the mythology of the Maya. They liked to play ballgames. Through bravery and quick thinking, they outwitted the lords of Xibalba, the underworld or land of the dead, and destroyed them. He and his twin, Hunahpu, dedicate their lives to taking down any characters who seek to "magnify themselves" and attempt to appear more powerful than they actually are. The twins are very strong and excel in their physical pursuits.
