* HumanSacrifice: ''His favorite part of his job''. Much to his chagrin, however, all of his "offerings" get rejected and ultimately spared by Miguel and Tulio. [[spoiler: He ''finally'' gets a chance at this, when he uses his lackey as a final ingredient in his potion to summon the Jaguar to kill the duo.]]

* {{Acrofatic}}: He's huge, and far wider than any other human character. This doesn't seem to hinder him too much, as he breezily scales up the steps of the Temple of the gods, same steps that leave the seemingly younger and fitter Miguel and Tulio, as well as a ''freaking horse'', exhausted and panting on the floor. [[spoiler: Also, after his men start failing to keep the large sculptures at the city gates from falling and crushing the boat our heroes are in, he grabs the ropes holding one of them himself and keeps them long enough for the boat to pass. This happens after roughly ''a dozen'' warriors could not hold on.]]

* EvilCounterpart: To Chief Tannabok. Both are high-order leaders of El Dorado's society. While Tannabok is a reasonable authority figure who seems to care about his people, Tzekel-Kan is a KnightTemplar priest obsessed with killing El Dorado's citizens through human sacrifice.

* PetTheDog:
** When he and Miguel believe they are about to die, they share what their regrets are. When Miguel says that his is that they never got to go on a big adventure that people would remember them for, Tulio, with tears in his eyes, sincerely tells Miguel that he has made Tulio's life an adventure.
** It is Tulio who comes up with the plan to use the boat to destroy the gate to El Dorado to protect the people from Cortés. [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules He does this despite knowing it will cost him all his gold]].


Added DiffLines:

* GodIsGood: [[GodGuise While he is only pretending to be a god]], Miguel otherwise plays the trope to a tee. He walks among the people and treats them with kindness and participates in all their fun activities. This reaches its peak when, after he and Tulio win the ball game the cities best, Miguel forbids the people from El Dorado from ever committing HumanSacrifice again (he even jokingly calls it his first commandment to Tulio) and revokes EvilSorcerer Tzekel-Kan's position as High Prist and banishes him from the city. It's probably safe to say that Miguel managed to live up to the people's idea of a benevolent god.
