According to the codices of Boturini, there is a documented moment In which the Tlaxcalteka who at the time we're referring themselves as part of the Chichimeca people but claimed to be of Otoni decent, were being under attack by a enemy, this was the moment that the hunters dawned the regalia regularly reserved for hunters and for specific ceremony honoring Mixcoatl for bringing fire were first used as military regalia and also used the tools for hunting as tools of defense. The Tlaxcalteka we're able to defend themselves and drove off the enemies who came in to try an take their valuables and to make trophies of them. This was the moment that Mixcoatl became a patron of war as Huitzilopochtli was to the Mexikah.
Mixcoatl was the transformered from, Mixcoatl to honorary, Camaxtl he was especially worshipped at Huejotzingo and Tlaxcala. Later, the Mexikah largely replaced Mixcoatl with their own powerful sun and lord Huitzilopochtli, although he was associated with Red Tezcatlipoca, an aspect of the all-seeing and omnipresent supreme god of the Mexikah pantheon Tezcatlipoca. In one tradition Tezcatlipoca transformed himself into Mixcoatl and then invented the fire-drill for the benefit of humanity. Finally, Mixcoatl was associated with lightning, thunder, and the direction North. It is important to note that in ancient Mexico, identity is fluid, what was more important was where your heart laid at, who you showed more loyalty to and as such things change over time to better suit the ruling power for the time. Mixcoatl at one point was also Xipe Totec, Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca. This specific style and military rank was favored amongst the Tlaxcalteka as well as other meso American people at the time.
