Gaspar de la Croix

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Gaspar de la Croix was a Templar agent and master engineer, who lived in Renaissance Rome. While in the Campagna district, Ezio noticed a nearby man who was hiding behind a stone archway. The man explained that Gaspar was trying to kill him, and Ezio decided to assist him. The man said he would sneak up to Gaspar, while Ezio would flank him, however as soon as the man attempted to make his way to cover, Gaspar had shot him, leaving Ezio to give pursuit. Ezio reached Gaspar's cliff-side residence, where he assassinated the engineer.

Database Entry


Date of Birth: 1466. Profession: Sniper.

I found this in Abstergo's database: "Gaspar de la Croix is a master weapons engineer as well as an expert marksman."

''Although the profession of sniper didn't exist yet in the 16th century, Gaspar was something of a pioneer. His skill with a firearm spared him any close confrontations on the battlefield and Cesare made use of his skill to take down easy targets at the beginning of a fight.''
