* His biography :
The Chief of the Parita
Guaymi tribe.
The Spanish conquistadors found
three distinct Guaymi tribes in western Panama, each named
after its chief. The three big chiefs were Urraca, who ruled in
what is now Veraguas Province; Nata, in the territory of the Province
of Cocle; and Parita, in the Azuero Peninsula.
Guaymi, signifying "man," is a Chibchan
tribe or group of tribes (Guaymi-Dorasque subfamily), in the Republic of
Panama from David Bay on the Pacific coast and the Río Guaymi on
the Atlantic side eastward to about the present Chame and Salud. The following
are given as subdivisions or tribes: Doleguas (on Río Chiriqui),
Move (east of Río Chiriqui), Muoi (south of Chiriqui Lagoon), Murire
(about the Gulf of Chiriqui), Muite, Pariza (?), Penomeño (on the
Gulf of Parita).
* His place in the Barks/Rosa stories universe
:
In "The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut", this
character has a very bad relationship with Scrooge, who, while doing trade
with him, tries to swindle him. He has more cordial concerns with Theodore
Roosevelt, who comes to his house to ask him to show him on a map where
a treasure is hidden under Scrooge's mountain. He knocks General Esteban
down when he tries to steal a part of the treasure and sends him back to
Colombia.
He also appears on "Les Inédits de Don Rosa
#33", an illustration for this story.
