~ Aguila telling Yaotl his beliefs. |
General Aguila is the main antagonist of the 2007 animated film, TMNT. Aguila was one of Yaotl's generals until he and Yaotl's other three siblings were encased in stone. Three millennia later, he was revived by Yaotl.
He was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, who ironically also voiced the 2012 version of Shredder, and also Gantu, Tartarus, The Joker and Lobo.
History
Early life
Aguila was born around 1000 B.C. somewhere in Central America and grew up in the Aztec army alongside his brothers Yaotl, Gato, Mono and sister General Serpiente to become merciless tyrants leading a massive army into conquering every kingdom of the ancient world. Known to have been the most trusted of all five siblings, he also served as second-in-command to Yaotl, who was warrior-king of their brotherhood.
Encased In Stone
While fighting their way to finishing their subjugation of the ancient country of Paxmec, with the siege on its capital Xalica, the five barbarians learned from a wheel-like artifact they seized from within the city's temple about a constellation known as the Stars of Kicaan, which aligned every 3,000 years to send a beam of energy opening a portal to another dimension. As the portal opened, its energy made Yaotl immortal but the price was costly, for it turned Aguila and the other three generals to stone and released from its vortex opening 13 monsters that decimated the rest of their army and their Xalican opponents.
