- "Gaspar de la Croix. Engineer. Marksman. Recluse. He frightens me, but his technical skills are unprecedented."
- ―Fiora Cavazza.[src]
Gaspar de la Croix (1466 - 1503) was a master engineer, marksman and a member of the Templar Order. He was frequently hired by Cesare Borgia to take down easy targets on the field at the start of a battle.
His genetic memories were later used by the Templar company, Abstergo Industries, for the training of their Animus recruits, under the title of the Engineer.
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 of his front window at the passing crowd.[1]
Death

However, when the uprising had dwindled to the last man, the Assassin Ezio Auditore chanced upon the scene and joined the fray.[2]
