The Four Tezcatlipocas — Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totec — are the primordial sons of Ometeotl who took turns presiding over the successive Suns, each age ending in catastrophe when one brother overthrew another.
⚠ The Historia de los Mexicanos por sus Pinturas names this specific grouping. Other traditions substitute Tlaloc for Huitzilopochtli or vary the identifications of the four brothers.
