Atoc was a general and brother of the Inca emperor Huáscar.
After the death of Huáscar's father, Huayna Capac, Atoc was sent north (probably in 1529) to quell the separatists under Huáscars half-brother Atahualpa. Atahualpa was defeated in the battle of Chillopampa Plains and captured, but managed to escape and set up a new army.
Another battle was fought at Chimborazo, and this time Atahualpa emerged as victor. His general Chalkuchimac reportedly had Atoc mutilated and killed, either by having his head being put to use as a goldened chicha cup or his eyes being torn out and left alone on the field of defeat. His and his co-general Hango's hides were allegedly carved off and used as drums.
Shortly after, Atahualpa recaptured Tumebamba and Cajamarca and, in April of the following year, Atahualpa's generals seized Cuzco.

Nuestro día va a llegar, tendremos nuestra vez
no es pedir de más, quiero justicia...
Quiero trabajar en paz no es mucho lo que deseo
yo quiero trabajo honesto, en vez de esclavitud
Debe haber algún lugar donde el más fuerte, no te quiera
esclavizar... si estás sin chance
por qué tanta indiferencia se ha templado a hierro
y fuego? quién cuida las puertas de las fábricas?
el cielo era azul, más ahora es ceniza si
lo que era verde aquí ya no existe más
quién me hiciera acreditar, que ya acontece nada?
de tanto jugar con fuego, que venga el fuego ya...
ese aire dejó mi vista cansada.. y nada más.
y nada más...
