The flayed God who self-mutilated himself, preforming a great sacrifice of his body, in order to bring food to the starving, newly born humanity far below. The blood that rained down from heaven as he set about the grusome task of flaying himself caused corn to sprout, a symbolic choice, as he was shucking himself just as corn is shucked before it is eaten. His sacrifices emulate this, and they are flayed alive before having their hearts carved from their chest so the God may continue to bring food down to the people.

He is the Red Tezcatlipoca, ruling his Pantheon along with The Black Tezcatlipoca, The White Tezcatlipoca (Quetzalcoatl), and The Blue Tezcatlipoca (Huitzilopotchli). Though he has never brought about the end of the world, or defends the sun every night, he cares for humanity, being a celebrated God by the masses. Even though he has flayed himself alive, the God is still unfathomably beautiful, just like the golden corn hidden behind its husk.
