The Spaniard was the most trusted agent of King Ferdinand of Spain. Unknown by any name other than "The Spaniard", this enigmatic figure was the one agent that Ferdinand had never known to fail. With dashing good looks, the Spaniard combined hard-won experience with the arrogance of a natural leader. After an old castaway was rushed to the royal palace, holding the logbook of the Santiago, which told of explorer Ponce de Leon's fabled discovery of the long-lost Fountain of Youth, King Ferdinand sent the Spaniard to find the Fountain and destroy it. The Spaniard believed that destiny had placed the task of finding the Fountain of Youth in his hands, and that it would lead him to success. And so he led a loyal crew through a perilous adventure to the Fountain.
