Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec sky and creator god. The name is a combination of quetzal, a brightly colored Mesoamerican bird, and coatl, meaning serpent. The name was also taken on by various ancient leaders. Due to their cyclical view of time and the tendency of leaders to revise histories to support their rule, many events and attributes attributed to Quetzalcoatl are exceedingly difficult to separate from the political leaders that took this name on themselves. Quetzalcoatl is often referred to as The Feathered Serpent, connected to the planet Venus and was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood, of learning and knowledge. Today Quetzalcoatl is arguably the best known Aztec deity, and is often thought to have been the principal Aztec god. However, Quetzalcoatl is one of several important gods in the Aztec pantheon along with the gods Tlaloc, Tezcatlipoca and Huitzilopochtli.
"Origin: Mexico. A wind god worshiped by the Toltec people. His appearance is said to be that of a feathered serpent. He presides over life and fertility, and was praised as the morning star and god of wind. However, he was banished by his brother, Tezcatlipoca."

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
"The god of wind in Aztec mythology. He is often depicted as a snake with pure white wings. His name means "feathered snake." Quetzalcoatl was the ancestral deity of the Toltec people and was widely worshipped in Mayan mythology under the name "Kukulkan." He was regarded as the god of water, wind, and the harvest, and was later believed to be the god who gave man fire. In Aztec mythology, Quetzalcoatl's efforts to get people to stop making human sacrifices earned the wrath of Tezcatlipoca, who banished him. Quetzalcoatl then went into hiding as the planet Mars, and he is thus regarded as the god of that planet. Some stories claim that Mars itself is Quetzalcoatl's heart."
