An Italian soldier worked for Captain Tancredi and the Borgia family in Florence, Italy in 1505. When the Fourth Doctor came back in time to speak to Leonardo da Vinci, this soldier found the Doctor and held him prisoner and almost tortured him on Tancredi's orders. The Doctor complained of his cold hands. He was present during Tancredi's explanation of the Jagaroth and how he (Tancredi) was actually a splinter of Scaroth.
