Angel Cerón is inspired by the depiction of Tlácoc in the Ixtlilxóchitl Codex dating back to 1325-1519 AD. The powerful Aztec god of rain appears like a grand warrior holding a lightning rod and shield. His anthropomorphic presence includes a human body with a bird like visage and a grand headdress. According to this codex, Tláloc ruled over the Guinamenti, a civilization of giants who lived in the Anahuac Valley long before the Aztecs. Given his high merits as a ruler he was made a deity.
