God of the Aztec underworld often referred to as Cuezalli which means 'the flaming thing'.

Sounds pretty impressive, and important enough to have his own temple called Tlalxicco which was named after his crib in the underworld.

As per usual with these Aztec death God types, digging for info on where he fits in the underworld hierarchy scheme of things has revealed absolutely nothing. Maybe he's shy.

He was also known as Torquemada II which strangely enough was the name of the first Grand Spanish Inquisitor renowned for his religious bigotry and cruel fanaticism. What a coincidence.
