Note: Maya exists in an alternate future which is shared by the hero Tempus.  Events from that time period may change depending on the present.  The current year for Maya is 2099, nineteen years after the retrovirus was unleashed.

When the ubergene retrovirus spread across the world in 2080, things changed rapidly. After a year only a small number of ubers had survived alongside those heroes and villains who gained their powers from other sources such as an alien heritage, mystical knowledge or artifacts. The world had come to rely on super heroes such as the Sentinels to protect them from internal and external threats, so when the Aztec God Huitzilopachtli returned to our dimension at this weak point in time he had little trouble establishing himself in South America, casually usurping governments. However, Huitzilopachtli was thwarted in his attempts to take over the entire world by Set, an Egyptian God, who was raised by his faithful priestess Nepythys using the moment of confusion to bring her Master back to Earth.

At first Huitzilopachtli resisted Set's incursion but he was outmatched and reluctantly agreed to serve Set, as did the God Ganesh who had established himself as ruler of Asia. The Triumvirate took control of Earth with Set in the highest throne and Huitzilopachtli and Ganesh ruling to each side.

Huitzilopachtli transformed the Americas into his own image, bringing back the architecture of the Ancient Aztecs and Mayans, while Set transformed Africa and Europe into replicas of Ancient Egypt and Ganesh transformed Asia into his own Hindu image.

The Americas became a source of hedonistic pursuits. The drug trade was increased to supply the world's new leaders and Central America especially became known as The Harvest Lands. Huitzilopachtli chose Maya to oversee the Harvest Lands and she accepted the role with pride.

Maya was young when Huitzilopachtli first took control of the Americas and was drawn into one of his many harems, but she soon learned to survive and thrive above the other courtesans. She killed rivals and blackmailed superiors, always marching towards her goal of becoming free and powerful. She was granted her wish when Hz himself witnessed her murder of one of his priests, and rewarded her with a place at his side. For six months she stayed with Huitzilopachtli and learned about the new world.

Humans were servants. The few remaining ubers and other so-called heroes were the enemy and were hunted down for sport by the elite. Maya saw an opportunity to live like Gods and insinuated herself further into Huitzilopachtli's confidence sometimes even influencing the God more than his advisors. When she was appointed Priestess there were many rumblings amongst the priesthood but most people were prepared for the news. When she was then promoted to High Priestess and given control over the Harvest Lands, there were some public protests.

Maya silenced her critics with death, even ordering the assassination of one of Huitzilopachtli's oldest advisors.

The God was pleased.

And so Maya earned a reputation as being almost as bloodthirsty and ambitious as her Master.

Maya is a keen strategist and manipulative woman who has trained herself to become one of Huitzilopachtli's most trusted advisors. She seems to possess an uncanny ability to perceive other people's motives and always seems to be one step ahead of her enemies.

Maya is beautiful which is what allowed her to succeed during the early years of Huitzilopachtli's rule. Her beauty is enhanced by scars which she has earned along her violent rise to authority and she bares them with pride and as a warning to others not to cross her. She wears gold as is the new custom of Huitzilopachtli's rule and is never without bodyguards who are all naked to the waist and physical beautiful and strong.
