I would not say that he is a favorite representation but King Nezaualpilli of Texcoco commanded a magical operation to deal with the flood (caused by the murder of a wizard) in which some high officials were sacrificed and their hearts were thrown into the spring.

I was deeply impressed by Miguel Leon Portilla's book Fifteen Poets of the Aztec World which includes Nezaualpilli's poetry as well as that of his father Nezahualcoyotl.
