The original role to assist emperor-turned-llama Kuzco in getting back to the royal city was to be Mata, a female llama herder, and a potential love interest for the selfish teen (aspects of the character that would later be used in Malina in the TV series). In the ending, Kuzco and Pacha would work together to stop Yzma's plans to awaken the dark god Supai and restore the sun to its proper place. When Yzma discovered the switch, he was forced into acting as a puppet ruler by her. Originally, he was to be a younger man that was meant to be voiced by Owen Wilson, which looked identical to Kuzco, resulting in a 'Prince and the Pauper' storyline. When the movie went by Kingdom of the Sun, Pacha was drastically changed during the production process that completely revamped the story. However, his role as chieftain became greater when his village is targeted by Kuzco in order to level it for his 'Kuzcotopia' summer palace, as all the people in Pacha's village would lose their homes, and as such Pacha needed somehow to convince Kuzco not to do this in order to spare the village. Pacha spends most of his time herding llamas and being with his family, which implies that his political responsibilities as a village leader were not too demanding and the villagers can overall look after themselves. He resides there with his wife Chicha and his children, Chaca, Tipo, and Yupi. His hut is located at the very top of the village's hills where the sun hits perfectly.

Pacha is the leader of a village in Emperor Kuzco's unnamed kingdom.
