Character: Diego Bautista
Archetype: Caballero
Description (not going by historical standards of appearance): tall 5'8”, lean and athletic (about 150lbs). He is heavy calloused and scared from a hard life. His facial features reminiscent of being badly beaten while young but distinctly hard and prominent.
Background: Diego Bautista struggled growing up in the streets of Binondo. His father worked as servant and carriage driver of one of the many elite, who lived in the walled city of intramuros.
His life took a serious turn, when in an unfortunate street accident, he failed to stop in time and seriously embarrassed a spanish officer. The officer beat him. His father ran to check on his welfare when stumbled on the officer mercilessly pummeling his young boy. The sight caused him to lose his senses and attack the officer, who quickly shot him dead.
His mother died a year later from the loss and raising him alone. His last remaining relative, his uncle and brother to his mother, having found out too late decided to steal him away from his masters. He decided it would be best that he lived with him, and work in the ship yards.
Because of the many labor shortages of the succeeding year, he and his uncle was press ganged to serve as crew. Soon after the ship set sail, for Spain the crew mutinied and sailed instead to Mexico.
There Diego met with his adventures, joining soldiers turned bandits and lived a life of crime, hired goon, and opportunity. When his band slowly died out, he met many interesting people and grew up. Then, he decided to go back home and see what has changed while he was away.
