Miguelito Passos was a Quetanan explorer who is best known for having planned and led the 1498-1501 expedition to southern Ausiana across the Cantalle Ocean to open a maritime trade route, during which he discovered the interoceanic passage to the Samson Ocean and achieved the first Adulan navigation from the Cantalle Ocean to Eastern Ausiana in 1499. He and his crew then embarked on the first successful circumnavigation of the world, arriving back in Vongane in 1502. After the circumnavigation, Passos served as a captain in the Quetanan Navy, and was stationed in colonies and commerce outposts throughout the Cantalle Ocean. He established several towns in Saint Croix and Bens, and documented extensive travels throughout Southern Adula and Southwestern Ausiana in Yuan, Gangkou, and Manaban. He died of pnuemonia on the main Kalean island in 1528.
