Delgado

Francisco Juan Delgado de Leon was a Spanish Conquistador and was a foe of Morgan Black in Age of Empires III.

Biography
Delgado was second in command in a Spanish expedition from Yucatan to Cuba under his superior Pedro de Alvarado. Delgado's success in his travels gave him Royal permission to participate in the conquest of the Aztec Empire. Soon Delgado received a ship and a complement of Rodeleros and Crossbowmen with the goal of exploring more of the New World for Spain and himself.

Delgado soon went to search for the Fountain of Youth and claim it for Spain. Soon he fought an Aztec City for it, but he was stopped by Morgan Black and the Knights of St. John. Soon Delgado captured the Ottoman leader Sahin, and tried to get him to talk about the fountain, but failed again. His final loss was when the Knights of St. John destroyed his colony and captured six Spanish treasure fleets, forcing him to stop his search (During gameplay however, there is an XP award if you kill Delgado, possibly meaning he was killed in battle).

In the game Delgado wields a rifle and a sword in battle. He fights with his sword much like a Rodelero. It is a great pity you can't play as him.

Delgado is a very powerful unit with a large attack, able to beat even ronins. He wields a heavy sword and he and his army were destroyed when Morgan attempts to capture his treasure ships. Also note that he is the only Spanish character in the Age of Empires III campaign.
