This man's claims to have civilized a great number of peoples were exposed when Friar Augustin Rodriguez and "El Chamuscado" retraced his steps and found that his only discernible action had been having sex with local women.

This man carried out the brutal Tiguex War, but is better remembered for an effort inspired by reports from Marcos de Niza, who had struck out with a Berber named Estevanico. After arriving at Quivira and finding mainly rocks and buffalo, this man executed a native guide known as "the Turk." This explorer was tried for war crimes against the Hopi and Zuni during his most famous expedition, which sought the Seven Cities of Gold at Cibola but instead found the Grand Canyon. For 10 points, name this conquistador who explored the American Southwest.
