Babo ("Benito Cereno") Timeline and Summary

Babo may have been a slave back home. He is probably from Senegal.
He was captured by slavers, and ended up the captive of Don Aranda on a boat commanded by Benito Cereno.
Babo managed to lead an uprising against his captors, and he and the other black people on board took over the ship.
Babo tried to get Benito to sail the ship to an African port, but Benito managed to fool him, and eventually after much hardship found Amaso Delano's boat off Chile.
Babo figured out a plan to pretend that the slaves were still slaves, so Delano would resupply them and they could be on their way again.
It almost worked…but then it didn't.
Many of the black people were killed; Babo was captured.
He was tried and decapitated and his head displayed.
