According to Bingham's book on South and Meso-American Mythology, the aztec creation myth involved Quetzalcoatl. Where he had fought with Tezcatlipoca for the simple fact that Tezcatlipoca had control of the world and have had the sunny form. Tezcatlipoca changed form into a jaguar and ate the earth. As a result, Quetzalcoatl recreated the earth and repopulated it. Angry with him, Tezcatlipoca defeated Quetzalcoatl and caused a great wind to surrond the earth. As a result, everything but a few people were destroyed. These poor saps were turned into howler monkeys by Tezcatlipoca. Then the rain god Tlaloc changed himself into the sun and created the world of the third sun. Quetzalcoatl quickly destroyed this world with a fire that burned everything but a few people who became birds and flew off. Then the water goddess Chalchihuitlicue shoot her shot as a Sun, like clockwork Quetzalcoatly destroyed this world via a flood that only handful of poor saps survived, becoming fish. Then the fith sun was createcd with the sacrifice of all the gods made to put the sun in the sky and to have it make its daily journet. Bro was a professional hater.

According to the same book, he is a major god of the Nahua people who consider him to be a supreme deity of many aspects of daily life like medicine,agriculture,fertility, Clouds, Venus as the morning star, thieves and gambiling of all things. They attribute him to the creation of calenders,books and writings and occasional creator god. He might have had origins as a rain or agriculture god before being lifted to supreme deity by the Toltec.

Quetzalcoatl is also considered an offspring of two creation gods! There is a story of him being sent to earth to lead the people and he was doing good till Tezcatlipoca showed up and showed him a mirror. Freaked out by the sight of his own face, Tezcatlipoca offered to paint it. Of course, he was dressed up and painted but Tezcatlipoca teased him into drinking a magic potion that somehow led him into a drunken orgy with his own sister. After the fact and he was sober enough, he felt so disgusted with himself for what he had done that he threw himself into a fire. He was then laid to rest on a stone casket for a week so he could travel to the underworld. His heart rose to the heavens and became the morning star Venus.
