And this is a guy called Ruminyawi.

And he enters this story with some very colorful behavior, which we have been trailing extensively.

So basically, after Atahualpa died, there was a question among the northerners about who would succeed him as the claimant.

Atahualpa had a brother called Kiliskacha.

And he said, well, I'll do it.

And it's not clear whether he wants to be emperor himself or regent for Atahualpa's sons.

Anyway, Ruminyawi, who was the commander, the military commander, he said, you want to do it?

Great.

Let's have a big wake for Atahualpa.

You know, we'll have a party to celebrate and celebrate your elevation.

They have this wake.

It's like the sort of red wedding or something.

Ruminyawi gives Kiliskacha and his entourage, he says, have some lovely drinks.

These drinks have been drugged.

And when they pass out, Ruminyawi's men cut their throats.

So that's the end of them.

Well, not quite the end.

Because then Ruminyawi literally turns Kilius Kacha into a drum.

And I quote, I shouldn't laugh because it's hideous.

He extracted all the bones through a certain part.
