Ferdinand Magellan (Portuguese: Fernão de Magalhães, c. 1480 – 1521) was a Portuguese-born explorer in service of the Spanish Empire who led an expedition to the East Indies, becoming the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean and successfully circumnavigate the world.
Biography
Attempted conquest of Mactan
At one point during his explorer career, Magellan became aware of artifacts left behind by the Isu and the godlike powers they possessed. Seeking to locate these artifacts, his search eventually led him to the island of Cebu in the Philippines in 1521, 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.[1]
Magellan was eventually successful in locating the Piece of Eden hidden on Cebu, but was informed by Humabon that the artifact was but one of several Pieces. Seeking the other relics, Magellan led a contingent of Spanish soldiers to the neighboring Mactan Island to retrieve the artifact in the possession of its chieftain Lapu-Lapu.[1]
On 27 April, Magellan's forces clashed with the native Visayans on the beaches of Mactan. Despite their superior technology, the Spanish were ultimately defeated when Lapu-Lapu used the power of the Piece of Eden against them, and Magellan himself was personally executed by the chieftan.[1]
Legacy
The circumstances regarding Magellan's expedition resulted in the Dutch navigator Hendrik travelling to Cebu in the early 18th century. There, he visited the Basilica del Santo Niño and met a monk who reluctantly told him of Magellan's search for the Pieces of Eden and his death at the hands of Lapu-Lapu. However, the monk made no mention of what had happened to the artifacts after the battle, leading Hendrik to further delve into his search.[1]
These details would later be encoded within Hendrik's personal sea log and deciphered by the Korean scholar Yun Pyeong-Gyu with the assistance of Edward Kenway and Shimazu Saito. The first passage they uncovered was to "follow the footsteps of Ferdinand Magellan."[2] Seeking to find Angkor, where the Pieces of Eden were rumored to be hidden, Edward, Saito, Yun and the other members of the Zhang Wei Union later decided to travel to Magellan's resting place in the Philippines to investigate this lead.[1]
