Profile

Biram is the current chief of the Masters of Night Wind. He has a progressive mindset, wanting to implement new changes but not to the point that it would destroy their traditions.

When the Traveler and Paimon first approached the Statue of the Seven in Tezcatepetonco Range, they were greeted by an Iktomisaurus that beckoned them to head into the village. Upon arriving, they were greeted by an Iktomisaurus Elder, who the tribesmen called Elder Tlapo. Elder Tlapo had a vision and designated the Traveler as weaver. Biram was notified of their arrival and explained Elder Tlapo's actions, while also telling them that he wished to decipher the "gift from the spirits" before his time as chief would end.

Biram tested the pair in escaping a space created by Huitzilin and was pleased when they managed to leave without his help. He then sent them to collect dyes to begin weaving the scroll, but when they attempted to make one, failed to do so. Biram was unsure as to what the cause of the failure was, but promised to investigate and let them know once new developments were made. Paimon asked him why the tribe didn't record on paper, and Biram asked them to follow him to the top of the village. There, they saw a massive graffiti, which Biram explained had been with the tribe since its founding and he could not simply forget about the past. He also felt that the tradition of weaving scrolls wasn't worth giving up and would try to find a way to produce them no matter the cost.

Unlike the elder shamans of the tribe, he is not intimidated by Citlali's presence. Rather, he respectfully defers to her title as a Great Shaman as their eldest priestess, and himself as a "humble junior" in comparison.^[3]

Appearance

Biram is an extremely tall man, surpassing every other human in height, being more than twice as tall as the Traveler. While it is somewhat difficult to judge, he may very well be as tall as the ancient hero Tupac, "the Giant".

While conducting certain ceremonies, he wears the Soul-Shielding Cloak, which is meant to resemble an Iktomisaurus. The garb is an important relic handed down by generations of chiefs. In most other duties, Biram does not wear the cloak, though he still retains his Iktomisaurus-like mask.
