Mictlantecuhtli was the God of the Dead in Aztec mythology.

Constantine: City of Demons

Forced to live off the leftovers from a slaughterhouse, Mictlantecuhtli was contacted by Constantine. The mortal offered the starving god a feast of demon flesh to sate his hunger, if he was willing to attack an abandoned church where they would be gathered. He arrived and, true to Constantine's word, there were five demons for him to eat. Having his fill of four while mutually wounding the fifth, Mictlantecuhtli learned it was a trick by Constantine to lure the six of them together while Chas Adler poured holy water around the church to make it consecrated ground again. Dying from the holy magic, the God of Death begged for mercy and to be taken back to his lair so he could recover, only to be ignored as Constantine said he was too dangerous to live.
