Texōccoatl is the Crown Prince of Xiomera. He is the current leader of the Xiomeran government in exile, after his mother Yauhmi was overthrown in a coup in April 2020.
Early Life and Education
Texōccoatl was born on 3 March 1976 in Tlālacuetztla, Xiomera. He is the son of the former Xiomeran Emperor Topilpopoca and Yauhmi, who succeeded Topilpopoca to become Empress. Texōccoatl attended the Special Calmecac Montelin #1 before graduating and enrolling in the Imperial Military Academy in Tlālacuetztla in September 1994. In later media interviews, Texōccoatl acknowledged that his father, who had been a Xiomeran soldier and eventually the top-ranking Army general in Xiomera, was a major influence on his decision to pursue a military career.
Political Career
Early Career
After graduating from the Imperial Military Academy, Texōccoatl was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Xiomeran Imperial Army. After completing a year of Basic Officer's Training, Texōccoatl was placed in command of an Imperial Army platoon. During his military career, Texōccoatl would steadily rise through the ranks. His highest rank was Colonel, in command of a brigade of 5,500 soldiers tasked with the defense of the Imperial capital. Throughout his military career, Texōccoatl had a reputation as a tactically sound commander who also had a deep concern for the soldiers under his command. Despite being the son of the then-Emperor, Texōccoatl reportedly never used his family to pull strings on his behalf during his Army career, unlike many children of elite Xiomerans.
Post-Army career
On 2 December 2019, Texōccoatl resigned his Army commission at the request of his mother, Empress Yauhmi. The Empress then appointed Texōccoatl as Xiomeran Ambassador-At-Large to the International Democratic Union. The official government explanation for the new role for Texōccoatl was that the Empire needed someone in such a role to serve as a roving ambassador for Xiomeran interests, and that Texōccoatl's intelligence and natural charm made him ideal for such a role. While Texōccoatl's new role did serve such a purpose, it was widely seen throughout Xiomera and abroad as a way for the Empress to prepare Texōccoatl for future roles, possibly even succeeding her as Empress. Official Xiomeran communications began referring to Texōccoatl as the "Crown Prince of Xiomera" at that point, a title not previously given to the children of ruling Emperors or Empresses. The possible creation of a hereditary monarchy in Xiomera, with Texōccoatl as Yauhmi's successor, was one of the reasons cited by the military junta for their overthrow of Empress Yauhmi in April 2020.
During his brief diplomatic career, Texōccoatl represented Xiomera at the Maivers Conference, and also met with various officials in Laeral to discuss expanding ties with that nation.
