Wikipedia description:
Opechancanough ( oh-pə-CHAN-kə-noh; b. 1554 – d. 1646) was the Mamanatowick (leader) of the Powhatan Confederacy in present-day Virginia from 1618 until his death. He had been a leader in the confederacy led previously by his older brother Powhatan. Opechancanough led the Powhatan in the second and third Anglo-Powhatan Wars, including the Indian massacre of 1622. In 1646, the aged Opechancanough was captured by English colonists and taken to Jamestown, where he was killed by a settler assigned to guard him.
