Diego García de Paredes (conquistador)

When he turned 18 he left for the New World and arrived in Nicaragua, where he would help conquer those territories under Gil González Dávila and Hernando de Soto.

In 1530 he would move to Panama where he joined the Francisco Pizarro expedition as one of the one hundred and sixty men marching to the heart of the Inca Empire with the firm objective of conquering it.

In 1553 when the town is attacked and threatened by Negro Miguel at the head of a party of blacks cimarrones who had revolted in the Buria gold mines committing some misdeeds, he lends himself for the defense of the city.

When the ship arrived at the coast of Venezuela Paredes landed with five soldiers to ask about his friend Luis de Narváez, who he didn't know had been killed some time before.

While they were dining with the natives suddenly they lifted Narvaez's head and killed García de Paredes and the five soldiers accompanying him.
