Biography His parents are not known. He was a successor of the king Itzamnaaj Kʼawiil.
The fact that Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam followed Itzamnaaj Kʼawiil on the throne even though the latter probably had a son, can be explained in this way: the royal prince was too young to assume the rulership on his own, so there was a need for his regent.
