The '''Engineer''' (real name: '''[[Gaspar de la Croix]]''') is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', whose assassination weapon of choice is a drafting [[Compass]].

In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', Gaspar is revealed to be a haunted man. When Fiora Cavazza is sent to pick up some of his inventions for [[Cesare Borgia]], he asks her uncomfortable questions about death, aims an arquebus at the civilians passing his window, and disregards payment.

In the mission involving The Engineer he is firing upon a man who was starting a resistance against the Borgia. After a quick chase Ezio kills Gaspar with his hidden blade.

==Trivia==
*"De la Croix" is French for "of the Cross." This is likely a reference to his [[Templar]] affiliation. It is also possible that he is French.
*Before the launch of the ''Brotherhood'' Beta, he was referred to as "the Merchant."
*According to his Database entry in ''Brotherhood'', his profession is labeled as "Sniper," due to his appearance in an [[Abstergo]] Agent Mission, wherein he killed a man with an arquebus from a rooftop.
*When Ezio kills Gaspar he slides his hand over his face to close his eyes even though he is wearing glasses, and the glasses don't move.

The '''Doctor''' (real name: '''Malfatto''') is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', who uses a [[syringe]] as his primary weapon.

His outfit highly resembles the ones worn by doctors during the plague, and appears black in the dark. His face is concealed by a mask, therefore making his true identity unknown. His outfit is different from what the doctors wear in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', most noticeably due to the shorter beak of his mask.

He makes an appearance in the single player mode of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' in a Templar Agent side mission, along with several of the other multiplayer characters.

He is also featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', where it is revealed that he is in the employ of [[Cesare Borgia]], and is known as a serial killer that targets [[courtesans]]. Despite being on his side at the time, [[Fiora Cavazza]] feared him and called him a "monster." After their first meeting wherein Fiora delivered a sealed document from Cesare, Malfatto entered Fiora's home while she was sleeping and injected her with his syringe, either drugging her or attempting to poison her. However, she was able to defend herself, cutting him badly with [[fan|her own weapon]]. Whether his attack was ordered by Cesare in the letter, or by Malfatto's own will is unknown.

At one point in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', [[Ezio Auditore]] comes across a courtesan crying over a fellow courtesan's dead body. She told him Malfatto had murdered her. Ezio reassured the courtesan that he would find Malfatto, and after a short time he located the doctor prowling in the district. Ezio signaled his [[Apprentices|Assassin Recruits]] to kill Malfatto, and they succeeded shortly after.

==Database Entry==
Date of Birth: Unknown.

Profession: Doctor

[[Abstergo]]'s database says: "Ravaging the poor districts of Rome, Malfatto preys on those unfortunate enough to be caught unaware."

The only data I could find outside of that was a report of a masked doctor in 1502 seen lurking outside the [[Rosa in Fiore]]. This guy seems like really bad news, and I've read a lot of bad news lately.

==Unique Moves==
===Lethal Injection===
The Doctor charges at his target from behind and swiftly thrusts his [[syringe]] into the target's shoulder, injecting [[poison]] into their system. Before the victim can realize what has happened, they collapse to the ground and die silently. The Doctor can also perform a similar move from the front of the victim, where he thrusts the syringe into the victim's neck.

===The Eye Stab===
The Doctor charges and jumps onto his target, injecting the syringe into their eye and causing death.

==Trivia==
[[File:Zw-thedoctor.png|thumb]]
*Malfatto is most likely based off of Jack the Ripper, a well known serial killer that preyed on prostitutes in impoverished areas of London around the year 1888. The removal of internal organs from his victims led many to believe that Jack was a doctor, or at least possessed surgical knowledge. He may have been also based off the infamous serial killer from the UK, Doctor Harold Shipman.
*Malfatto is an Italian surname that may derive from the Italian word ''malfattore'' or "someone who does evil deeds."
*When chasing Malfatto in Single Player, his costume seems darker.
*The fourth color of the Doctor is black like the doctors in Single Player.
*When Ezio is laying down Malfatto to die he holds his hand above his face because he can't close his eyes.
