Though Spanish, Manuel called himself Portuguese because Spanish New Christians were not allowed in the New World.

He was sent with a large sum to invest for his brothers-in-law back in Spain. He was born to a Marrano family, that is to say a Sephardic Jew whose family outwardly conformed to Catholicism for socio-political reasons, but privately practiced Judaism. Already persecuted by the Spanish inquisitors especially in 1620 and in 1635, Perez and a number of other Jews in Peru fell foul of the Peruvian Inquisition in Lima as part of the so-called "Great Jewish Conspiracy" trials of the 1630s, where he and other merchants were accused of Judaizing and supposedly plotting to hand over the Viceroyalty of Peru to the Dutch Empire. He was among twelve Jewish slave trading partners and others, handed out the strongest punishment possible for their alleged involvement and was burned alive at the stake as part of an auto-da-fé in 1639.
