Tezcatlipoca

Finally, here's my vision of Tezcatlipoca, the dreadful Aztec god of the night, of discord, and sorcery, among other things ! His name means "Smoking Mirror", his nahual (animal form) is the jaguar, and his main attribute is the obsidian mirror, considered a divining object (permitting to see the future and the heart of men) by mesoamerican people.

Although he sacrificed his right foot/leg to slay the monster Cipactli with his brother Quetzalcoatl, thus allowing the creation of our world, he's a chaotic being, much like Seth or Loki, and caused the destruction of previous worlds several times.
