Aztec Warrior

An Aztec Warrior was a soldier of the Aztec Empire, highly trained and vital to their society. Warriors fought in structured military campaigns to expand the empire, defend it, and gain prestige. They wore distinctive attire, often including feathered headdresses and weapons like spears and clubs. Warriors earned status and rewards based on their combat achievements, and some aspired to become elite Eagle or Jaguar warriors. Their role was crucial for both warfare and the cultural importance placed on martial skill, which reinforced social hierarchy and demonstrated loyalty to the empire.
