(Capcom's primary storyline)
Mixcóatl.
Mixcóatl was a small village in Amparo - a region in South America - that lied near to the Javier Dam. The village's name is derived from Mixcóatl (Nahuatl for "Cloud Serpent"), god of the hunt and storms in Aztec mythology. It was otherwise known to locals as the "waterside village".[1][note 1]
History[]
In the 1980s, Mixcóatl fell under the control of the Sacred Snakes, a drug cartel headquartered upriver and led by Javier Hidalgo. The people's relationship to the cartel was poor, and by the end of the 20th century they had successfully made contact with US federal agencies investigating the cartel, and had plans to conduct raids against them if given support.[1] In 2002, Sacred Snakes carried out a massacre in the town in response to their harbouring of Hidalgo's missing daughter, Manuela, using t-Virus weaponry. The infected survivors attacked two Americans who had been sent to investigate Hidalgo.
Further notes[]
- The god Mixcóatl is not native to South America, as the Otomi, Chichimec and Nahua cultures he is associated with only extended as far south as El Salvador.
