Persona
Gregorio was born near Santiago de Compostella around the year 1567. He spent his early years in Galicia before travelling first to Sanlucar de Barameda to further his studies in swordplay and then to Seville where, with the help of a modest inheritance he was able to purchase a tailor's shop catering to the more fashon conscious of the city. Gregorio now spends most of his time on diplomatic duties in the Spanish Netherlands.
