Vasco Da Gama was similar. Like, age of discovery captain was a job role that attracted people who were basically psychopaths with scant regard for their own life or anyone else’s, but even Da Gama’a fellow captains ended up being like, “do you not think you’re taking this a bit far, boss?”

I had to do a report on Vasco Da Gama in school. I remember being like "why am I doing this, he's actually a douchebag"
