He was a violent man, and an expert at brutally torturing his prisoners. He was also daring rough when giving orders, strong enough to be feared and a hard worker. Da Gama was not a merchant He was known as a swordsman. He was never sent to take over the new lands, but was sent to seek out Christian kingdoms in the East Indies and get access to the great markets of Asia.
