Lo que contribuyó a su fama fue que, a diferencia de otros, como Pajeú, que compensaban la sangre que vertían con arrebatos de prodigalidad — repartiendo un botín entre los miserables, obligando a un hacendado a abrir sus despensas a los aparceros, entregando a un párroco el íntegro de un rescate para la construcción de una capilla o costeando la fiesta del patrono del pueblo—, nunca se supo que Joáo hubiera hecho estos gestos encaminados a ganar las simpatías de la gente o la benevolencia del cielo.
What contributed to his fame was the fact that, unlike other leaders of cangaços, Pajeú for instance, who compensated for the blood they shed by sudden bursts of generosity—sharing booty they had just taken among the poor of the place, forcing a landowner to open his storerooms to the sharecroppers, handing over all of a ransom extorted from a victim to some parish priest so that he might build a chapel, or paying the expenses of the feast in honor of the patron saint of a town—no one had ever heard of João’s making such gestures with the intention of winning people’s sympathies or the blessings of heaven.
