Quizquiz

Quizquiz or Quisquis is, along with Chalcuchimac and Rumiñawi, one of Atahualpa's leading generals.

In April 1532, along with his companions, Quizquiz leads the armies of Atahualpa to victory in the battles of Mullihambato, Chimborazo and Quipaipan, where he, along with Chalkuchimac defeats and captures Huáscar and promptly kills his family, seizing the capital, Cuzco.

Quizquiz later commands Atahualpa's troops in the battles of Vilcaconga, Cuzco (both 1533) and Maraycalla (1534), ultimately being bested by the Spanish forces in both accounts.

After the ensuing battles, Quizquiz flees further into the safety of the Andean mountains, but his forces soon demand that he accept the Spanish demands, and, it being planting season, that they be able to return to their families.

Quizquiz refuses, and his war-weary troops eventually kill him in 1535.
