The Story:
The Year 1348. The Aztec war is near an end. King Montezuma's army has been defeated and his empire has crumbled. Montezuma hid his treasures deep beneath the ground underneath the Aztec grand temple. In desperation, he assembled his greatest sorcerers together and instructed them to place a curse upon the land which contains the treasure. From that day and for ten thousand years forward anyone who set foot on this ground would be stricken with the wrath of the curse. For even the soul of any trespasse would be trapped within the walls of the temple forever. The king's sorcerers were powerful, but were no match for the combined forces of the Spaniards and the neighboring tribes. King Montezuma and his few remaining consorts abandoned their land and were never seen nor heard from again.
Over the years, several groups have heard about the lost treasure of Montezuma. Paying no heed to the curse, they have attempted to raid the temple of its treasures. With one exception, all of these previous adventurers have never been seen of again. In 1932 an aristocrat by the name of Horace Armstrong Green assembled a team of 12 mercenaries in an expedition to retrieve the legendary treasure. Horace was the only one of the thirteen who returned, but he was not the same. Those who know him reported that Horace spent his final days rambling on about zombies, aliens and huge deformed rodents involved the death of his twelve compatriots. Clearly affected by madness, he survived for three only weeks. An autopsy concluded that his death was due to an infection of rare brain parasites.
The Year 1998. The adventurer, Max Montezuma (the only surviving direct descendant of the legendary Aztec king) returns to the land of his ancestors to claim the treasure to it's rightful heir. No one knows exactly where he's from, and no one knows exactly where he's going, but one thing's for certain - if there's danger and loot, Max will be there. Some people think he's a bounty hunter, some people call him a mercenary, and others say he's an international spy. Even when he's not looking for it, trouble follows Max like a fly to a horse's tail in the summer and Max wouldn't have it any other way.
