The Resume

    (March 19, 1742-May 18, 1781)
    Born in Surimana, Cuzco, Peru
    Birth name was José Gabriel Condorcanqui
    Led an uprising of indigenous Peruvians
    Executed by the Spanish at 39

Why he might be annoying:

    He received a Jesuit education.
    He was part of the same social class he raised up against, having been bestowed the title Marquis of Oropesa by Spanish rulers.
    His rebellion began after he took advantage of a drunken governor, for whom took two attempts to hang because the noose broke during the initial try.
    Ultimately, the insurrection proved unsuccessful because his cohorts randomly, wildly killed without his direct orders.
    He may be easily confused with Tupac Katari, a rebel leader of what is now Bolivia.
    His name lent itself to several South American guerrilla movements including Uruguay's Tumparos.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His great-great-great-grandfather was the last indigenous Incan monach, Tupac Amaru I.
    He was outraged at the sub-human treatment of Peru's native people causing his political activism.
    He wed Micaela Bastidas Puyucahua, a woman of Afro-Peruvian descent. (Ol' skool swirl!)
    After betrayals by a pair of his officers, he and his family were sentenced to death by the Spanish.
    He witnessed the killings of his wife, eldest son, brother-in-law and uncle.
    His tongue was cut out, all four limbs tied to horses trying to quarter him, and him finally being beheaded in the same town plaza as his ancestor.
    Legendary rapper Tupac Shakur was named in his honor.
