Enrique of Malacca

Enrique of Malacca (Spanish: Enrique de Malaca; Portuguese: Henrique de Malaca) was a Malay member of the Magellan expedition that completed the first circumnavigation of the world from 1519–1522. Enrique was Ferdinand Magellan's personal slave and interpreter and outlived most members of the expedition including Magellan himself, but was not among the 18 survivors out of about 270 men who returned to Spain in September 1522, three years after they left. About a year earlier in 1521, he was left behind in Cebu in what would become the Philippines, and his final fate is unknown.

According to some historians, it is possible that he could have been the actual first person to circumnavigate the globe and return to his starting point, but this is well within the realm of speculation only as it can neither be ruled out nor confirmed.
