Brief Bio

When Tecciztecatl hesitates out of fear to sacrifice himself to become the 5th Sun, Nanahuatzin the lesser god jumps first. Eventually Tecciztecatl follows causing two suns to be made. Out of anger for his cowardess to a lesser god, one of the gods of creation throws a rabbit into his face, thus dimming him and causing him to become the moon.
