I Mallombasi Muhammad Bakir Daeng Mattawang Karaeng Bonto Mangepe
Born Makassar, 12 January 1631; Died Makassar, 12 June 1670.
Sultan Hasanuddin was the 16th Ruler of The Sultanate of Gowa from 1653 to 1669. He was born as I Mallombasi Muhammad Bakir Daeng Mattawang Karaeng Bonto Mangepe. After his ascension to the throne, he was given the title "Sultan Hasanuddin Tumenanga Ri Balla Pangkana".
In 1666, under the leadership of Captain Cornelis Spellman, the Dutch East India Company sought to seize each and every east Indonesian kingdom to monopolized the spice trade, though were unable to colonize Gowa.
In order to resist Dutch encroachments, Hasanuddin tried to gather each of the kingdom’s military powers to attack the Dutch East Indies Company collectively. The wars between the Dutch and the States continued to worsen until the Dutch increased their military presence. Eventually the Kingdom of Gowa had no other choice but to agree to peace with the Dutch under the terms of the Bugaya treaty.
Following the signing of the Bugaya treaty, Gowa felt that the treaty was unfair and that they were disadvantaged by the terms of the treaty. As a result, Gowa continued to attack the Dutch. Finally, the Dutch sought military assistance from Batavia, resulting in a fierce war between the Dutch and Gowa. The war continued until the company managed to conquer Gowa’s last stronghold, Sombaupu Fort, on 12 June 1669. Sultan Hassanudin retreated and abdicated as the King of Gowa. He died a year later, on 12 June 1670, and was buried in Katangka, Makassar.

One of my Indonesian Heroes Historicals. Red colors were used to represent the Indonesian flag. His mustache is tricky to recreate, so I have to improvise on that.
