Tezcatlipoca
According to Mesoamerican mythology, the Toltecs' ancestral god Tezcatlipoca (Smoking Mirror), came to Quetzalcoatl disguised with "medicine" (really alcohol) to cure an illness. Quetzalcoatl drank the "medicine" and made love with his sister. The next day, Quetzalcoatl and his followers left Tula, promising that the blond-haired, blue-eyed ruler would return in Ce Acatl, 1519. From Codex Borbonicus.
