Columbus was an idiot who screwed up his reasoning, didn’t find what he was looking for, was saved only by the existence of something entirely different, and died without ever figuring out that what he found wasn’t what he sought.
Although I understand he had his coat of arms, which featured some islands, updated to feature a continent, which may suggest he figured it out at some point. Didn’t do him much good though—you left out the bit where he tortured the natives on the island he was governor of when they couldn’t give him and got himself fired and shipped back to Spain.
