Guacanagarix

A Taino chief who ruled the Marien chiefdom, one of the five major territories on the island of Hispaniola. He was the first chief to establish ties with Christopher Columbus in 1492, treating him as a great lord. The La Navidad fort was built on his land, and though its destruction brought him under suspicion, Columbus maintained their friendship. He later accompanied Columbus during the exploration of the Cibao region before vanishing in the mountains during the conquest. (In the Dominican Republic, calling someone a Guacanagarix implies they are a sell-out who favors foreigners over their own countrymen).

- A 100 percent brave Dominican tough guy.
