Quizquiz ("Little Bird") was, along with Chalicuchima, one of Atahualpa's two leading generals. In April 1532 he (along with his companion) defeated and captured Huascar and soon killed that Inca's family. He commanded Atahualpa's troops in the Battles of Vilcaconga (1533) and Maraycalla (1534), being bested by the Spanish forces.
He fled further into the Andean mountains. His men, wanting to surrender and return to their families (it being the planting season), demanded he accept the Spanish demands. He refused. His war-weary troops eventually killed him (1534).
