After becoming the Pope in 1503, he ordered a warrant for the arrest of [[Cesare Borgia]], for the crimes of murder, betrayal, and incest.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref><ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood novel">[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' novel]]</ref> He also learned of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] and allied himself with the Order's [[Grand Master of the Assassin Order|head]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]], promising to revive [[Rome]] to its former glory after the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] fled the city.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood novel"/>

In the Assassins Creed: Brotherhood novel, Julius II was against Ezio Auditore killing [[Micheletto Corella]] as he thought that Micheletto was securely locked away in his cell, for he says:'' "No one has ever escaped from the prison in Florence, not from those cells."''

A picture of him(picture on this page in fact) can be found on the left connection wall in the assassin's hideout where Shawn is.
