Database: Mateo Galan

Solemn Assassin
Born during the Renaissance, Mateo Galan was a solemn young Assassin recruit, hailing from a small peasant's village outside Murcia. Mateo and his family were Assassins sympathizers, but enjoyed a simple life before the influence of Torquemada befell Spain.
While away on a trip to Murcia to sell his family's wares, a known criminal who was being tracked by the Inquisition forces hid in his village. Upon finding the criminal, the Inquisition soldiers set fire to the village and murdered every single soul present for harboring the notorious traitor without question.
When Mateo returned and found his entire village and family butchered, he could do nothing but weep silently. A day later, the Assassins found him lying in the ashes, still clutching his dead mother's body. Feeling pity for the poor boy, they decided to take him in.
The Assassins trained Mateo in the ways and ideals of the Creed, but the boy grew more and more sullen as time went on. As he grew older, Mateo became a stoic and solemn Assassin, who refused to speak except to reaffirm his vow to serve the Creed and seek vengeance against the forces of the Inquisition.
