Biography[edit | edit source]

In mid-August 1503, after Cesare fatally strangled his father Rodrigo for attempting to poison him with cantarella,[2] Gaspar was responsible for treating Cesare's poisoning. Even though Cesare had taken a preventative antidote, what little poison he had ingested was potent enough to require Gaspar's continued presence at a logistics meeting in Cesare's palace near the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere. There, he tended to the Captain General as his officers discussed the threat of the Assassins, before Ezio Auditore ambushed the room with his Apple of Eden. Though the Assassin Mentor killed Cesare's lieutenants, Cesare and Gaspar managed to escape.[1]

In December, when Pope Julius II ordered Cesare's imprisonment for murder and charges of incest with his sister Lucrezia,[3] Ezio and his friend Leonardo da Vinci visited Gaspar at his house to question him on Cesare's whereabouts. The doctor swore he knew know nothing Ezio had not already heard and insisted that he was more interested in studying the "French Disease", i.e. syphilis, than finding Cesare, though he did mention Ezio could do worse than looking in Spain. After this, Ezio and Leonardo left the doctor without further issue.[4]
