Amushillek

Amushillek is the main and sole antagonist of the 'Vinetail Distortion' arc of 'Card Table Blues.'

life story
At the time of 'Vinetail Distortion,' it has been 63 years since Amushillek was born in northern Algeria, in a small town in the mountains. However, it is heavily implied in 'Vinetail Distortion' that he has warped time in some way, meaning he has experienced more than just 63 years of life.

He was enlisted by the Gades Colonial Authority at the age of 23 to work as a civil servant in the southernmost areas of the Olmec Heartland (Veracruz directly south of the Tuxtla Mountains and the adjacent inland-lowland portions of Oaxaca). He was a competent worker and did a better job of gaining the respect of the Mixe than most would have. He retired at age 54; his wife had died several years earlier. For the past 9 years, he has been living a simple day-to-day life, visiting the mountains once every few months and eating out five times a week.

It is implied that he was blessed by the gods of fortune because he immediately returned to his routine as a bachelor after his wife died.
