Biography
Born of a modest merchant family near Seville, Donoso was blessed with steady hands and a feather-like touch, later allowing him to stitch grievous injuries and set bones to mend with ease. He was sent to the academy at Madrid by his family, who had invested most of their money to pay for the tuition of the young medical student. It was his father's wish for Garpar to become a renowned doctor and bring honor and wealth to his family's name.
Once alone and away at school however, Gaspar became enamored with the night life of Madrid and took to drinking and debauchery, depleting his family's savings on dice, wine and women. During this time he also won the friendship of several local Assassins, for whom he would on occasion bind a wound or stitch a cut.
Dead broke and unable to complete his medical training due to his vices, Gaspar was inevitably expelled from the academy. Unwilling to face his family disappointement, he left the school and sold his skills as a street doctor to the poor and sick.
His Assassins friends didn't forget about him, however seeing his predicament, they invited him to lend his talented hands to their cause. Gaspar gladly accepted, and being a free-spirit himself, he did everything he could to uphold the Creed and support the Brotherhood
