Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480 – 1521) was a Portuguese-born explorer who led an expedition to the East Indies, becoming the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean and successfully circumnavigate the world.
Biography
At one point during his explorer career, Magellan became aware of artifacts left behind by Those Who Came Before and the godlike powers they possessed. Seeking to locate these artifacts, his search led him to the island of Cebu in the Philippines, where he met the local King Rajah Humabon. Magellan converted Humabon and the local indigenous population to Catholicism with the idea of turning Cebu into a Spanish colony. Magellan's search led him to successfully locate the treasure, although it was revealed to him by Humabon that the treasure was merely a fragment from a larger artifact, which was seized by chieftain Lapu-Lapu from the neighboring Mactan Island.[1]
In April, Magellan led a contigent of Spanish Soldiers to Mactan where he fought the artifact-empowered Lapu-Lapu and his men. Despite the might of the more technologically advanced Spanish army, they were defeated and cut down by by the Visayans, with Magellan personally killed by Lapu-Lapu himself.[1]
Legacy
The circumstances regarding Magellan's expedition resulted in a explorer travelling to Cebu, where he met a monk at the Basilica del Santo Niño, who reluctantly told him of Magellan's search for the artifacts and his death by Lapu-Lapu. However, the monk made no mention of what happened to the artifact after the battle, leading the explorer to further delve into his search.[1]
