Toci Two Face is one of the King’s Advisers, Pacal Redmask thinks he may be a traitor to the King. Toci sends you on various quest to defeat Crazed Thunder Horns and project designed to unite the people under King Axya Knifemoon. Doesn’t sound like he’s the traitor.
Toci (Classical Nahuatl: tocih, “our grandmother”) is a deity figuring prominently in the religion and mythology of the pre-Columbian Aztec civilization of Mesoamerica. In Aztec mythology, she is seen as an aspect of the mother goddess Coatlicue or Xochitlicue and is thus labeled “mother of the gods” (Classical Nahuatl: tēteoh īnnān). She is also called Tlalli Iyollo (Classical Nahuatl: tlālli īyōlloh, “heart of the earth”).
Although considered to be an aged deity, Toci is not always shown with specific markers of great age. Toci is frequently depicted with black markings around the mouth and nose, wearing a headdress with cotton spools. These are also characteristic motifs for Tlazolteotl, a central Mesoamerican goddess of both purification and filth (tlazolli in Nahuatl) and the two deities are closely identified with one another.
Toci was also associated with healing and venerated by curers of ailments and midwives. In the 16th century Florentine Codex compiled by Bernardino de Sahagún, Toci is identified with temazcalli or sweatbaths in which aspect she is sometimes termed Temazcalteci or “Grandmother of sweatbaths”. Tlazolteotl also has an association with temazcalli as the “eater of filth” and such bathhouses are likely to have been dedicated to either Tlazolteotl or Toci/Temazcalteci.
Toci also had an identification with war and had also the epithet “Woman of Discord”.
