Biography
Quest for the Fountain of Youth
This Spaniard was mainly known for serving as captain in the Spaniard's fleet in the task to find and destroy the Fountain of Youth. After King Ferdinand discovered a ship's log that revealed the location to the Fountain, the officer stood by the Spaniard's side throughout the voyage.[1]
When the Spanish made camp at Fort San Miguel, he was tasked with examining the two silver Chalices of Cartagena. However, he was knocked out as the Chalices were stolen by Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow. By the time he regained consciousness, the two were captured and tied to palm trees. However, Jack made a miraculous escape, in which he would dispatch the Spaniards and escape with the Chalices.[1]
The officer later accompanied the Spaniard and a fellow officer as the Spanish made their way to the Fountain of Youth, where they interrupted a battle between Barbossa's British crew and a pirate crew led by Blackbeard. The officer, along with a Spanish soldier, forcibly held down Angelica so that the Spaniard could retrieve the Chalices from her. After the Spaniard ordered the temple around the Fountain of Youth to be destroyed, the officer stood beside the Spaniard, watching the Fountain's destruction. After the Fountain was destroyed, the Spanish departed and returned back to their ships.[1] His further fate is unknown.
