More specifically, he belonged with the Macuiltonaleque, the young solar deities who presided over flowers, feasting, singing, dancing, gaming, and painting and who bore the names of the five tonalpohualli days assigned to the south, with numerical coefficients of five (the number signifying "excess"). Their most prominent member with Macuilxochitl, "Five Flower."

Ixtlilton had been impersonated by someone who visited people's homes for dancing, eating, and drinking of "new wine" (an alcoholic beverage that had been covered for four days). But if the new wine had gotten dirty with cobwebs, straw, or charcoal, then the responsible person was seen to be an adulterer, a thief, or a monster, and he had to wear a mantle (quachtli) called the ixquen, or face covering.
