Tezcatlipoca was one of the main Aztec gods, together with Huitzipotchli, Tlaloc and Queztalcoalt. It seems Tezcatlipoca was on the track to becoming the head of the pantheon, taking on the traits of many other less popular deities.. (while Huitzipotchli was still the national God of War, similar to Mars to the Romans, Tezcatlipoca was turning into a Odin/Jupiter/Zeus figure...).

Tezcatlipoca had a sinister reputation, but we don't really know to what extent Aztecs thought he was sinister, or if his dark reputation was due to the influence of the enemies of the Aztecs and of the Spaniards (almost all the Aztec gods were quite horrible, with a few exceptions, but Tezcatlipoca in particular had a devilish reputation...).
