- "I am Xomec, descendant of the mighty Chachapoyan warriors!"
- ―Xomec[src]
Xomec was a descendant of the Chachapoyans who were also the ancestors of the Hovitos that American archaeologist Indiana Jones encountered in 1936. Leader of a group of Hovitos, Xomec teamed up with Nazi agent Ilsa Toht to acquire the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol.
Biography[]
Early life[]
A Chachapoyan descendant,[1] Xomec had some formal schooling at Oxford University but, during his studies, yearned for power which he came to believe that he could attain by claiming the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol to lead a united collective of indigenous South American tribes including the Hovitos.[3]
Clash against Indiana Jones[]
In 1936, Xomec first encountered archaeologist Indiana Jones in Marrakesh where the warrior and Nazi agent Ilsa Toht were trying to capture the idol from a local antiquities dealer. What they didn't know was that Indiana Jones and his friend Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir were also present trying to acquire it for the National Museum and took it out from under Xomec and Ilsa. Indy and Sallah barely managed to escape the ensuing gunfight.[1]
Reinforced by a group of Hovitos warriors, Xomec faced Jones again in New York City during a gala celebrating the idol's arrival at the museum.[1] He stole back the artifact and Jones followed Xomec to Brazil in pursuit of it, but he was captured by Ilsa. Xomec took his bullwhip and tied him to the ground with strong ropes to be eaten alive by crocodiles. Indy managed to escape, however, and followed them to an airplane. He jumped on as it took off and Xomec attacked Indy with his own bullwhip but Jones's mastery of it allowed him to unbalance Xomec who fell to his death.[4]
Personality and traits[]
A large, well-muscled and cunning American Indian, Xomec wasn't one of the Hovitos but a Chachapoyan warrior. He believed it was his destiny to become the leader of all the Hovitos.[3]
