―Abstergo's database description

The Engineer as he appears ingame

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.

Unique Moves

Jawbreaker (Low Profile, Front)

The Engineer holds the victim by the back of their head with one hand, while pushing his compass through the soft flesh underneath the jaw and inside of their skull, before pulling it out and letting his target fall.

Headshot (Low Profile, Back)

The victim is kicked from behind so that they fall to their knees. The Engineer then stabs them one-handedly in the top of their head, impaling the brain, while holding their shoulder with his other hand. The victim falls to the ground with blood spurting out of the wound.

Point of Impact (High Profile, Back)

The Engineer quickly comes up from behind, grabbing the back of the victim's waist, and then pulls them backwards while stepping forward himself. With the momentum, he jams the compass into their back, impaling one of their kidneys. The victim collapses to the ground, bleeding to death internally.

Backfire (High Profile, Front)

The Engineer walks up to his target from the front and reaches around their head, grabbing them by the scruff of the neck. He then yanks their head downward and delivers a quick but fatal stab to the crevice of the shoulder blades.

Accurate Stab (Bench Kill)

The Engineer stands in front of his target, holds their head with one hand, while using his compass-wielding hand to thrust into the side of the neck.

Sniper Shot (Aerial Kill)

The Engineer jumps from a rooftop and lands on his target, before pulling out his compass and brutally stabbing them in the back of the head.

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 despite the fact that he is wearing glasses, and peculiarly, his glasses don't move.
