Non-collinear antiferromagnets (NC-AFM) have attracted much attention recently due to the observation of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in these materials [1]. Here we study the AHE as a function of magnetic field direction in the Kagome plane of the antiperovskite nitride Mn3Ni0.35Cu0.65N. We explain the results in the context of irreducible representations of the three-spin unit cell, showing a strong interplay between field dependence of AHE and the octupole moment by fitting to density functional theory calculations. Further, we present non-trivial features in the field dependent AHE loops signifying additional stable spin configurations, and potentially novel transport phenomena. These results open the possibility of a lever through which the spin structure in NC-AFMs can be controlled.
