Most information about him is from Aztec accounts centuries later, and details and chronology is often uncertain, and historical stories are mixed with mythology.
After the fall of the Toltec capital Huemac traveled for some years with a diminishing band of followers, and then died in a cave at Chapultepec, now part of modern Mexico City. The date of his death, from various accounts and various attempts to corolate the accounts with the Gregorian calendar, range from the 1090s to the 1170s.

Huemac says to him, "By force you are to cure my daughter", and Tobeyo is washed, has his hair cut and is dressed in a Maxtli girdle and blanket, and is sent in to sleep with Huemac's daughter.
According to Davies, in the Memorial Brave of Chimalpahin, the Obras Historicas by Alva Ixtlilxochitl, and the Monarquia Indiana by Torquemada, Huemac is the enemy of Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, either as a contemporary ruler or as one of the evil sorcerers (!).
