Assassin's Creed II : #34 "Rodrigo Borgia(The Pope)" Final Chapter | WALKTROUGH PART 34(PC GAMEPLAY)

"He is Rodrigo Borgia, one of the most powerful men in all of Europe, and leader of the Templar Order." ―Mario Auditore to his nephew, Ezio Rodrigo Borgia (1431 – 1503), born Roderic Llançol i de Borja (Valencian: Rodrigo Liançol i de Borja; Spanish: Rodrigo Lanzoi y de Borja), was the head of the Catholic Church from 11 August 1492 until his death, reigning as Pope Alexander VI. From 1476, he served as Grand Master of the Italian Rite of the Templar Order. Originally hailing from Spain, Rodrigo moved to Italy where he studied and joined the Catholic Church, eventually becoming a cardinal. Using the influence he gained from his clerical position, Rodrigo conspired several plots to murder political leaders across the country to claim it under the Templar banner. As one of the wealthiest men in Europe, Rodrigo's power as Grand Master spread all over the continent. In 1488, Rodrigo was responsible for shipping an Apple of Eden from Cyprus to Venice, before it was stolen by his arch-enemy, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and his fellow Italian Assassins. In 1492, via several bribes and power plays, Rodrigo won the Papal conclave, and became one of the most controversial Renaissance popes. Under the leadership of the Borgia, the Templars focused primarily on establishing their power and control in Europe, losing sight of their true ideology. The Templars commonly refer to this era as the "Dark Age of the Order".
