1710 Magua is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the 1826 novel The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper.
A Huron Indian chief, he is also known by the French alias "Le Renard Subtil" ("The Wily Fox").
During his time with the Mohawks, Magua met up with Colonel Munro, who punished him by tying him to a whipping-post for drinking whiskey, which he calls fire-water.
In the novel, his attempts to force Munro's daughter Cora to become his wife and his hatred of the English lead to his downfall and death.
He captures Munro during an ambush of the British evacuation of the fort, then cuts out his heart after telling his enemy his motives and plans.
