Lampião
- Lampião (1897–1938), born Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, was the most notorious bandit leader in Brazilian history and the King of the Cangaço.
- He led a lethal gang of outlaws that terrorized the northeastern backlands for nearly two decades, evading military forces across multiple states.
- He was a brilliant guerrilla strategist and marksman, developing unique wilderness survival techniques that became legendary in regional folklore.
- His lifestyle, music, and the signature leather hats worn by his gang heavily influenced northeastern culture and are frequently referenced in capoeira songs.
- His reign of terror ended in 1938 when his camp was ambushed at Angicos, resulting in his death and the public display of his decapitated head.
- He remains a deeply complex figure in Brazilian history, viewed by some as a ruthless criminal and by others as a folk hero who resisted brutal government oppression.
