Explanation
Niccolao Manucci (1639-1717), a Venetian traveller, spent decades in Mughal India, served as an artilleryman and physician, and settled in Madras, where he wrote his 'Storia do Mogor' and died. John Marshall, Peter Mundy and Thomas Roe were English travellers who returned to Europe and did not settle and die in Madras. Hence Manucci is the answer.
