Don Gonzalo Pardo was a Spanish nobleman active in Peru during the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire in the 16th century. A giant but very fat drunkard, Don Gonzalo was often glimpsed, dead drunk on the roadsides, by the travelling natives.
While looked upon with contempt by the Incas, most notably by a running courier named Quila, Don Gonzalo was the only Spaniard tolerated by the Incas on their lands during the rebellion of Manco Inca Yupanqui.
Biography
In 1536, after she accidentaly discovered a plot to assassinate the Emperor, Quila, decided to steal the horse of Don Gonzalo to warn Manco quicker. Unluckily, the drunk giant was awake and drew his sword, threatening the girl and telling her that no one was allowed to touch either his drink nor his horse. However at the same moment, the three other Chasquis from whom Quila, out of rivality, had stole the message unveiling the plot, caught up with her. They throwed a stone on her head with a sling, enraging Don Gonzalo, who added that his third rule was that no one was allowed to touch an innocent in front of him, before stumbling and knocking himself out.
