{{quote|A place in heaven awaits those who serve the wolf!|A leader of the Followers of Romulus|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

The '''Followers of Romulus''', also known as '''''Secta Luporum'''''<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)]]''</ref> (''English: Sect of the Wolves''), were adherents of [[wikipedia:Romulus|Romulus]], the mythical founder of [[Rome]]. According to legend, Romulus and his brother Remus were raised by a wolf, and as a result, were said to be half wolf and half man. In tribute to this, the Followers' attire included a skinned wolf pelt.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Appearance==
The Followers of Romulus are portrayed as powerfully-built, rather brutish men covered in wolfskin pelts, who attack viciously in large packs.

They are armed with various [[short blade]]s and [[throwing knives]], and tend to growl and snarl when in a fight. They commonly employ a unique, spinning slash attack, a move that is not performed by any other, aside from Ezio himself (with his [[Hidden Blade|hidden blades]]). When killed, and often before attacking, they howl like a wolf.

The Followers are also adept [[Free Running|free-runners]], as the lairs that they occupy require such skills to traverse. Additionally, they often attack in ambushes, hiding above or in tunnels before springing onto their prey in large numbers.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Borgia Alliance==
The leaders of the Followers are paid by [[House of Borgia|the Borgia]] to do their bidding, and as such, the Followers are mainly used to cause fear in the civilians, and send them into the arms of the Catholic Church. However, the Followers themselves are misguided, with their leaders commanding them in the name of Romulus, despite not believing in his mystical existence themselves.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Lairs==
{{main|Lairs of Romulus}}
In Rome of the early 16th century, the [[Master Assassin]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], was able to enter the Followers' lairs, each of which were located below a famous landmark in Rome. By traversing them, he was able to find out more about them, and obtain their scrolls, which were located in shrines deep within their hidden enclaves.

By exploring and completing all six of their lairs, Ezio was also able to obtain six keys to unlock the Followers' secret treasures, the [[Armor of Brutus|unbreakable armor]] and [[Dagger of Brutus]].

Each of the six keys was also accompanied by a scroll, which, when combined, told the story of how [[Marcus Junius Brutus|Brutus]] and certain other [[Assassin]]s plotted the murder of [[Gaius Julius Caesar|Julius Caesar]]. In the scrolls, it was written that Brutus planned to hold the first meeting under the [[Colosseum]], where he found [[The Colosseum Vault|one of the vaults]] of [[Those Who Came Before]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Trivia==
*In certain art (their Database image, and the image featured above), the Followers are depicted with a heavy weapon or a pair of short blades. In-game, they use only a single short blade.
*The Followers are relatively weak attackers, and can only perform slight damage to a single block of Ezio's health, rather than removing the block entirely. And they have one of the weakest, if not the weakest, resistance in the game.
*The Followers often use throwing knives before directly attacking.
*The Followers have unique death cries, as well as unique attack animations.

'''Italy''' (Italian: ''Italia'') is a country located in southern [[wikipedia:Europe|Europe]] during the second and third millennium, and home to the Italian sect of the [[Assassins|Order of Assassins]] during 13th to 16th Centuries. Italia also served as the birth place of the [[Renaissance]], and had many beautiful cities and towns dotted across the landscape: [[Venice]], [[Florence]], [[Monteriggioni]], [[Forlì]] and [[Rome]] to name a few.

Despite the ideals of the Renaissance spreading out across all Italy, during this period the nation remained divided into a multitude of city-states and Republics, notables of which included [[La Serenissima|La Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia]], and the Papal States. Taking advantage of this division, the [[Templars]] attempted to seize control of much of northern Italia during the late 15th century, but were ultimately thwarted in this attempt by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] and his fellow Assassins.

==Modern Days==
In the modern days, Italy is where apparently [[Abstergo]] is located, and is the Assassin's [[Hideout]] in [[Assassins Creed II]].

Pax Romana

'''Pax Romana''' is the final playable memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.

==Description==
After four years of searching for [[Micheletto]] and [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]], [[Ezio]] finally finds Cesare at the [[Siege of Viana]]. Ezio chases the Captain General across the [[Spain|Spanish]] plains, trying not to get involved in the fighting. Ezio climbs a destroyed [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] siege tower, and battles Cesare on the [[Viana]]'s [[Viana Castle|castle battlements]].

==Script (Incomplete)==
====Pre-mission====
*'''Cesare: '''''How did you find me?!''
*'''Ezio:''' ''The [[Sixth Apple|Apple]] you stole from [[Mario Auditore]] lead me here!''
*'''Cesare:''''' Kill him! Kill the [[Assassin]]! Tear the'' maledetto bastardo ''(fucking bastard) to pieces!''

Ezio fights several Naverrese soldiers, until a Spanish cannonball hits close by. Ezio is knocked unconcious, but awakes shortly after to find a dead Naverrese on him, which he rolls off.

*'''Ezio:''' ''I need munitions.''

Ezio begins to loot dead [[Guards|soldiers]].

*'''Spanish Civilian: '''''Help yourself! There's more than enough to go around!''

After looting, Ezio climbs onto a stray, unarmored [[horse]].

*'''Ezio:''' ''Faster to travel by horse.''

Not long after mounting the horse, it is killed by a cannonball. Ezio continues along the path to find the ruins of a Vianan village. Ezio sneaks past the Spanish soldiers that are on guard.

*'''Spanish [[Brutes|Brute]]:''''' They say that Cesare Borgia once commanded the Papal Forces of [[Rome|Roma]].''
*'''Spanish [[Seekers|Seeker]]: '''''They say he commanded the whole of Roma once. Strange how great rulers come and go like leaves in the wind.''
*'''Spanish Brute:''''' I'll give you wind.'' (Both laugh)

Ezio continues through the ruins until he reaches an undestroyed portion of it. Navarrese and Vianan soldiers are fighting in the streets. A Spanish woman runs to Cesare and begs him for mercy.

*'''Spanish Woman:''' ¡Ayúdeme! ¡Dañan a mi hijo! ''(Help! My son is injured!)''

Cesare nods, then carries on walking into the village towards the fortress. Two Naverrese soldiers pull the woman aside and one stabs her with a Stiletto. Ezio continues through the battling soldiers as a Navarrese priest attempts to dishearten the Spanish. Ezio climbs a burning siege tower, but is forced to perform a [[Leap of Faith]] as it collapses. He fights off attacking guards and climbs another tower to finally confront Cesare.

==Outcome==
Cesare Borgia is killed. Ezio ponders on where to hide the Apple of Eden.
