It appears that he was the most powerful ruler at Sacul and is recorded as having participated in a number of events, including wars, rituals and royal visits.^[2] He was also likely to have been the ruler responsible for the greatest period of construction activity at the city.^[3]

On 12 February 760 he is recorded as having received a visit from king Shield Jaguar II of Ucanal, who oversaw Chʼiyel receiving his mannequin sceptre, a symbol of rulership.^[4]

Stela 2 of Sacul was raised to commemorate the visit of Chʼiyel to Ixkun on a date that has been reconstructed as 9.18.0.0.0. in the Mesoamerican calendar (11 October 790) and bears portraits of the kings of both Sacul and Ixkun.
