Biography
Working for the Borgia
In 1503, Fiora Cavazza visited Gaspar on Cesare's request to pick up several parts and equipment that the engineer had repaired. At his workshop, she discovered him singing a remorseful song in French and hesitated to interrupt him.[1]
Throughout her stay, Fiora saw Gaspar as distant and haunted, particularly after he began asking her uncomfortable questions, such as whether she had witnessed death, and if death was driven by fate, chance or choice.[1]
Finally, as she departed, Gaspar refused to accept the payment for his services and was left tinkering with a firearm, which he thoughtfully aimed out his front window at the passing crowd.[1]
Death
- "I don't scare easily!"
- ―Gaspar as he is chased by Ezio Auditore da Firenze[src]
Later that same year in Rome, Gaspar fought to suppress a group of citizens attempting to form a resistance against the Borgia. He wielded his arquebus skillfully and was able to kill many from a distance. However, when the uprising had dwindled to the last man, the Assassin Ezio Auditore chanced upon the scene and joined in the fray.[2]
As Gaspar killed the final insurgent, a man whose wife or daughter, Anna, was previously shot dead by Gaspar, Ezio charged at the engineer who chose to flee. Gaspar reached a dead end, and though he tried to fight back, he was fatally stabbed by the Assassin's hidden blade.[2]
Trivia
- "De la Croix" is of French origin and means "from the cross," likely a reference to his affiliation with the Templars.
- Gaspar fights like an Arquebusier.
- Gaspar is one of the few targets that you cannot kill unnoticed.
- After the assassination, Ezio closes Gaspar's eyes the same way as he always does, even though Gaspar is wearing glasses.
