Apu was the other name of Sapa Inca, that was the ruler of Cuzco, and later the Inca, in what today is Peru.  Of course, the Sapa Inca was at the very top of the social class and was the ruler of the nation and also the spiritual leader. The last Sapa Inca ended when the Spanish arrived in the region. Francisco Pizarro killed Atahualpa, the last Sapa Inca, in 1533, although the title was claimed by future generations.
