Miguel Ramón Carlo de Lugo
Miguel Ramón Carlo de Lugo (4 October 1494 - unknown) was a member of the Assassin Brotherhood in Florida. Born near the bay of San Juan in Puerto Rico, his mother died during childbirth and his father abandoned him. He was taken in by Alonso Carlo, a freed slave and translator for the Spanish colonial army. By the age of 9, Miguel was fluent in Taíno, Arawak and Spanish.
In 1510, Alonso was accused by Juan Ponce de León of plotting an assassination against him, and ordered his execution. Alonso took Miguel and fled before he could be captured. They arrived in Florida, where they found safe haven with the Assassins, and Miguel joined their ranks.
In 1521, Juan Ponce de León journeyed to Florida to search for the Fountain of Youth. Knowing that de Léon would find a Piece of Eden hidden in the fountain, the Assassins sent Miguel to implore de León to turn back. De León denied his request, and the Assassins sent a poisoned arrow piercing into his chest.
Miguel had two children with Anna Espinosa; José Cores and Paco Mulo Arriba.
