A Chief or Captain of the Darien Indians, who in 1679 conducted the buccaneers under Coxon and Harris across the isthmus to attack Santa Maria and afterwards to make an attempt on Panama.

He afterwards led back a party of malcontents under Captain Coxon from the Pacific side of the isthmus. ANGORA, Sultan of Timor. Refusing to allow the East India Company to station garrisons on Timor, he was driven out of the whole of his island except the chief town, also called Angora.
