'''A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing''' is a memory in ''[[Assassins Creed: Brotherhood]]''.

==Description==
[[Ezio Auditore]] travels to the [[Vaticano District]] to uncover the conspiracy surrounding the [[Followers of Romulus]] and to continue his search for the shrines to Romulus. Upon arriving, Ezio makes his way towards the [[Basilica di San Pietro]], entering through a secret entrance located outside the pavilion.

Upon entering the Basilica, Ezio watches over the conclusion of mass. As soon as the prayers end and the populace of the Basilica begin to disperse, the [[Assassin]] uses his [[eagle vision]] to locate a corrupt [[Cardinal]]. Weaving between the crowds, Ezio tails his target, overhearing conversations of his actions in [[Rome]]. Following the man to a corridor alongside the main hall, Ezio witnesses a meeting between false [[Followers of Romulus]] and the corrupt Cardinal. The Followers leave, having handed the Cardinal a key. Ezio slips into the corridor and confronts the man, resulting in a chase across the entirety of the Basilica. The chase concludes as Ezio corners the Cardinal in a room atop San Pietro. A brief altercation ensues, resulting in the death of the Cardinal at the hands of the assassin. Searching his body, Ezio retrieves the key and performs a [[Leap of Faith|leap of faith]] from the tower, entering the shrine to Romulus below. He claims a [[Scrolls of Romulus|scroll of]] Romulus and the fourth key of six, to the [[Armor of Brutus|treasure of Romulus]] and returns to Rome.

==Dialogue==
Ezio enters the Basilica during the conclusion of mass.
*'''Mass Giver''': ''Benedìcat vos omnipotens Deus, Pater, et Filius, et Spìritus Sanctus, Amen. Ita, missa est. Deo gràtias.''
The Cardinal being followed by Ezio meets with two 'Followers of Romulus'.
*'''Cardinal''': ''I will write the sermons, then leave them for you within the shrine. Make sure you deliver them convincingly...with passion.''
*'''Follower of Romulus''': ''The followers will do anything we tell them to, padrone (master). They believe their god commands them.''
*'''Cardinal''': ''Bene. (Good.) Do you have the key?''
*'''Follower of Romulus''': ''Yes, padrone (master).''
The follower hands over the key to his master.
*'''Cardinal''': ''May the Lord be with you.''
*'''Follower of Romulus''': ''And also with you, padrone (master).''
Ezio confronts the Cardinal.
*'''Cardinal''': ''Assassino! (Assassin!) You will not get me!''
The cardinal uses a lift to ascend a tower.
*'''Cardinal''': ''My ascension takes me closer to God, and away from you, Assassino (Assassin)!''
After a brief chase sequence outside, the Cardinal re-enters the Basilica, closing the door on Ezio.
*'''Cardinal''': ''Sanctuary denied!''
While chasing the cardinal, the swing mechanism Ezio is using breaks, slamming him down to a lower platform.
*'''Cardinal''': ''It seems God is on my side, Assassino (Assassin)!''
Ezio resumes his chase of the Cardinal across the scaffolding in the Basilica.
*'''Cardinal''': ''What do you want, Assassino (Assassin)?''
*'''Ezio''': ''The Followers of Romulus work for the Pope's gain.''
*'''Cardinal''':'' Of course. They are ignorant. We are enlightened. Their savagery will lead the people to the light of the Church.''
Ezio corners the cardinal in the Basilica's tower.
*'''Ezio''': ''You have nowhere to run.''
*'''Cardinal''': ''What a fool. You wage war against the very instrument that prevents the people from overthrowing order.''
*'''Ezio''': ''Your order is no order at all!''
Ezio kills the Cardinal, and lays him to rest.
*'''Ezio''': ''Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)''

==Outcome==
Ezio kills the Cardinal, obtains his key, granting him access to the shrine to Romulus. He claims a scroll of Romulus and one of the six keys required to unlock the treasure of Romulus.

==Trivia==
*To get 100% synchronization, the player must finish the memory within eight minutes.
*The key taken with the Scroll is one of six which are required to unlock the [[Armor of Brutus|Armor]] and [[Dagger of Brutus]].
*There are three [[flags]] that may be found in this Secret Location.
*There is a special cutscene if Ezio throws the cardinal over the side of the rail. As he falls, Ezio grabs onto the key around his neck and he says: ''"You saved me! Praise God!"'' before Ezio forcefully pulls the key, making the rope break and letting the cardinal fall down to his death.
*When exploring the Lair of Romulus, it starts to rain. This is the only time the weather changes in the [[Assassin's Creed series|''Assassin's Creed'' series]].
