Kettlecoater 

(Quetzalcoatl)

Introduction

The Kettlecoater, an Alliance flagship, derives its name from Quetzalcoatl, the all-powerful legendary god and ruler from Toltec and Aztec mythology.

Romanization note: Kettlecoater in kana is ketsuarukoatoru. The kana was so far off that I figured that the English had to be wrong.. I never guessed it was Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl, Toltec and Aztec god and legendary ruler of Mexico, usually referred to as the Plumed/Feathered Serpent or Feathered Snake. One of the major deities of the Aztecs, Toltecs, and other Middle American peoples. He is the creator sky-god and wise legislator. He organized the original cosmos and participated in the creation and destruction of various world periods. Quetzalcoatl ruled the fifth world cycle and created the humans of that cycle. The story goes that he descended to Mictlan, the underworld, and gathered the bones of the humanbeings of the previous epochs. Upon his return, he sprinkled his own blood upon these bones and fashioned thus the humans of the new era. He is also a god of the wind (the wind-god Ehecatl is one of his forms), as well as a water-god and fertility-god.
