Tupac Amaru
Tupac Amaru (-1572) was the last leader of the Incan Empire. The son of Manco Capac, he was made a priest and the guardian of his father's body. After his half brother, the Inca Titu Cusi[?] died in 1570, Tupac Amaru assumed the title Inca. He opposed the Spanish occupation and Christianity and fought a war with them. However he was captured and ultimately beheaded.
