Tlacolotl
From NexusWiki
Tlacolotl is the common name given to one of the nine Elder Powers. Tlacolotl is commonly known as the personification of violence and is aligned with Evil.
Tlacolotl is perhaps the most sane (and thus dangerous) of the evil triumvirate. Many Dark Oppressors serve him, but the bulk of his followers are Pariahs and Infernal Behemoths.
Tlacolotl is said to have been the mentor of Haldos (at least, such is implied in the Lore of Haldon).
