gold and lots of it

When Hernan Cortes invaded Tenochtitlan and the Aztec empire, the Aztecs were being ruled by Moctezuma II. Moctezuma was a very religious men so he thought that Cortes was the god Quetzalcoatl coming back to his land. Before the Spanish conquistador came to Mexico, about 9 omens (weird signs or things that happened that meant that a big change was coming) appeared, so Moctezuma thought that those omens meant that Quetzalcoatl was coming back. Later Hernan Cortes used this as an advantage to conquer the Aztec empire.

Pizarro fought the Incas, but Cortes fought against the Aztecs.

he wanted to find riches and do things with bad people
He was definitely evil. He murdered tens of thousands of people. When he slaughtered the Aztecs he murdered men, women, children, the elderly, and anyone in his way. Some claim he was gold hungry, others claim he wanted to spread Christianity. However, he must have been gold hungry because you don't spread Christianity by following Satan. Nuns, priests, and teachers spread Christianity, not murderers.
