Hernán Cortés (1485 – December 2, 1547) was a Spanish conquistador who led an expedition to Mexico on Earth that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century.
After Earth Starfleet Captain Erika Hernandez and other Columbia officers stuck on the Caeliar city-ship of Axion were thrown back in time to 1519, Hernandez thought of Cortés during her exile and his expedition introducing the New World to influenza. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals)
