Yetaxa is the high priestess of the Aztec temple, deceased before the companions arrive. Her tomb houses sacred artifacts and her throne, central to rituals and the group's failed escape efforts. Susan serves as her handmaiden, and priests like Autloc and Tlotoxl invoke her authority in disputes over divine will and sacrifice. Barbara impersonates Yetaxa's reincarnation to challenge temple practices. Yetaxa's legacy drives priestly rivalries and exposes tensions between tradition and reform in Aztec religious life.
