Pactal is a campaign exclusive hero, and though not playable in custom made maps. He is based off the hero [[Tazar]]. However, his portrait is available in map editor and can be chosen if a custom hero is created on the map.

== Story ==
'''Pactal Child Eater''' is the {{Cn|Lizardman}} chief of the [[Nightcrawlers]] of the [[Couatl Islands]]. Descendent of [[Tepotl Hollow Eye]].

<pre>He is strong and flexible, as hard and sharp as a bloodsucker frog's tooth, but his mind is malleable and receptive to anything that might benefit his tribe. -- Tlamac Hundred Thoughts</pre>

Anxious to begin his rule of the [[Nightcrawlers]], Pactal killed his father and uncles by siccing a herd of frenzied {{Cn|Gorgon}}s on them during a hunt and assumed chieftainship. After he became chief, he created the [[Hollow Eye]] - the current artifact of the [[Great Woe of the Crawlers]]. With it, Pactal is able to see the hidden and scry through the ground - allowing him to find and ravage caves with clutches and young [[Bloodied Feathers]]. Every time that happens, Pactal appears there himself, sucks out the eggs and devours the young lizardfolk, thus earning him his sobriquet.

Under Pactal's leadership, the armies of the [[Nightcrawlers]] grew to include {{Cn|Gnoll}}s and {{Cn|Wyvern}}s. They now claim nearly all of the [[Couatl Islands]] and are fiercely protective of their domain. To solidify his claim of leadership of the [[lizardmen]], he stole the clutch laid by the fifth wife of the [[Bloodied Feathers]]’ old chieftain and is raising one of the girls to be his wife. Children by her will be his key to unlimited power over all the [[lizardmen]] of the [[Couatl Islands]]. Still bitter at the defeat of their ancestors by the [[Stone Children]] and the [[Couatl]]s, the [[Nightcrawlers]] under Pactal have nearly hunted the local {{Cn|Couatl}}s to extinction.

Pactal has a powerful distrust of outsiders (with the possible exception of the pirates he pays to supply his troops). When ambassadors appeared from the {{Cn|Lizardman}} tribes of the [[Dagger Wound Islands]], Pactal attacked them and forced them to flee for their lives. His armies have also dealt ruthlessly with the [[Bloodied Feathers]], sometimes even denying them an honorable death in battle and instead selling them as slaves. Most recently, when {{Hn|Henrietta|0=}} and {{Hn|Wynona|0=}} expedition appeared to explore the islands, he sent his wyverns to attack and down their [[airship]]s. After a drawn-out confrontation with [[Henrietta]]'s forces, Pactal was defeated and [[Henrietta]] seized the [[Hollow Eye]].
