Each son was called Tezcatlipoca, but differentiated by colour. Quetzalcoatl was the white Tezcatlipoca. He was white-skinned and bearded. According to legend, he was overthrown by the Black Tezcatlipoca and exiled across the ocean, but would return in the year One Reed. This coincided with the arrival of Fernando Cortés, who was mistaken for the returning deity.
