On the Legendary British Soldier and Explorer, Humphrey Gilbert

Yeah, this guy was about as brutal as it gets......in that in both the French and Irish theaters the fellow displayed a take no prisoners policy in which the lucky opponents died instantly and the unlucky ones slowly and via hideous torture (it's been stated that the man had a thing for severed heads and proudly displayed them outside his tent).......Of course it was none other than this sadistic bastard who Queen Elizabeth first enlisted to establish a British colony in North America (a wretched choice in that Gilbert's major motivation was the accumulation of gold and silver and a messianic belief that he himself would be the ruler of said colony). Fortunately for the Native Americans his boat took water and he drowned, giving them at least a little reprieve.
