[[File:Jacopodepazzi.png|thumb|Jacopo de' Pazzi]]Jacopo de Pazzi was the father of Francesco de Pazzi and grandfather of Vieri de Pazzi.

Jacopo is first seen in Tuscany with Francesco, Vieri and Rodriga Borgia. He is next seen at a meeting in the Assassin's Tomb in Florence. He and Francesco are talking to four Templar hitmen Jacopo hired to kill Lorenzo de Medici. Jacopo is seen after Francesco's death, and sees Francesco's body hanging from a building in Florence. He flees the city to escape. Ezio kills his four hitmen then pursues Jacopo. He tracks him to a meeting with the other conspirators. Here, Jacopo is lectured severely and then stabbed by Rodrigo Borgia. When Jacopo asks for mercy, Borgia stabs a sword through his neck. Jacopo is barely alive, and Ezio ends his suffering.

The '''Knights Templar''' are the sworn enemies of the [[Assassins]]. They attack [[Masyaf]] after a failed mission under Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem; and after that, Templars found in the Holy Land will attack [[Altaïr]] on sight. They tend to attack more skilfully and take more hits than normal guards. You can find them in small villages throughout the kingdom, as well as throughout the cities, keenly observing their surroundings of encroaching danger. Templars are battlefield hardened soldiers lending aide to King Richard in the Third Crusade. Their battlefield experience shows in the way they fight. They are warriors in every meaning of the word, extremely skilled in the application of sword combat, and extremely disciplined. Templars should be dealt with while expressing extreme caution and solid battle skills. These soldiers are usually stationary, and on the lookout for the Assassins, their sworn enemies, who they are engaged with in a low-scale war.

==History==
''Orde du Temple'' in French, the Knights Templar are amongst the most famous of the Western Christian military orders involved in the war. They are well known by the distinctive white mantles with a red cross. Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favoured charity throughout Christianity, and grew rapidly in membership. Because the Templars' existence was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the Order faded.

According to Subject 16, the Templar Seal is the Mark of Cain.

==Distribution and goals==
Their main goal is to bring peace to the Holy Land, but the ways they do it are both ruthless and barbaric. However, they believe that they're doing good. They're trying to control peoples' free wills and they will ruthlessly kill anyone who is against them, especially the Assassins, whose leader, Al Mualim, was a member of the Templars but he later chose to betray them by stealing the Piece of Eden for his own purposes.
They're also good at manipulation, as they've members in both the Crusader and Saracen armies, allowing themselves to manipulate both [[Richard the Lionheart]] and [[Saladin]] for their own gain and manipulated the other knight orders like the Hospitalliers, Teutonic Knights and even the Assassins (Hashshashin) via Al Mualim.

== Achievement ==
There are 60 Templars within the game world. Thirty are located in the kingdom, and ten in each city. Two subsections (either poor, middle, rich) of each city will have three Templars, and the remaining subsection will have four. Watch out when hunting them, however, as Templars are completely immune to throwing knives. In any Memory Block, regardless of the Rank Memory that Altaïr has, the Templars will attack with all techniques (Guard Break, Counter-grab, etc.) and are extremely hard to kill without more advanced techniques and a high sync bar, or climbing on the wall behind the Templar unnoticed then assassinating them. Should one be able to throw a Templar to the ground however, they can easily be dispatched by a hidden blade or a few sword strikes. Templars will wave their swords and shout upon seeing you, leaving them open for a few precious seconds, during which the player can tackle them and assassinate them while they are on the floor. Templars will also automatically realize that you are an assassin, regardless of whether you are blended or not, unless you are sitting on a bench. Templar locations are broken down as follows:

Kingdom: 30x

Jerusalem Poor: 3x

Jerusalem Mid: 3x

Jerusalem Rich: 4x

Damascus Poor: 3x

Damascus Mid: 3x

Damascus Rich: 4x

Acre Poor: 4x

Acre Middle: 3x

Acre Rich: 3x

Eliminating all 60 Templars in the game will grant the Personal Vendetta achievement.

Personal Vendetta
Kill every Templar. (40 Points)

==Locations==
Simply put, if anyone finds a Templar in-game, check they aren't already listed and then give detailed description of their location. (Please don't use viewpoints as references, they disappear off of the map.)

There is one close by the docks on the Christian part of the kingdom. As you are leaving from Masyaf go right and you'll see a lake. At the edge of the docks is a Templar. There is one hiding in a house nearby.

There is one in the Poor District of Acre at the western edge of the large courtyard north of the plaza where you do the Masyaf flags fetch. Climb up in the middle of that western wall and you'll see him below you in front of a water spout.

There is another hiding inside the row of burnt out dwellings along the 'street' between the northern wall (Poor District Acre) and in the first block of houses as you approach the first sea-viewpoint from that direction. Stay on the roofs to spot him below.

In the Middle District of Acre (Sibrand campaign), there is one at the far western end of the docks. Keep going past where you save the citizen there toward the sea and boats.

:''Note: It seems that if you are fighting with a Templar on a roof and he dies from the fall, it doesn't count toward your tally.''

There is one in the Rich District of Acre on the roof of the giant church, between the two steeples.

There is one in the Rich District of Jerusalem hiding behind the building south of the large building with a golden roof.

There is one in the Kingdom on the way out of Damascus. As you are going out of Damascus go to the tents and look along the river for a Templar. There is one behind the view point tower nearby.

The website [http://www.assassinscreed-maps.com/ Assassin's Creed Interactive Maps] has great maps of the Kingdom and each separate district of Damascus, Acre, and Jerusalem with Templar locations marked by green dots. When you mouse over the dots, a screen shot showing the Templar will pop up.

== Extra Templars ==
During the Robert de Sable assassination you will fight more Templars. However, these do not count towards the total.

== The Historical Templars ==

{{WP-REAL|Knights Templar}}
The Knights Templar was a real Roman Catholic military order who were prominent during the Crusades. They were among the most skilled fighters at the time, which is reflected in the game. Their ruthlessness against non-Catholics was also infamous; this also is reflected in the game.

Uberto Alberti

92.28.213.167:

[[File:Uberto_Alberti_along_with_Lorenze_de_medici_and_Giovanni.jpg|thumb|Uberto Alberti in the front, along with Lorenzo de Medici and Giovanni]] 

'''Uberto Alberti''' was a family friend of the Auditores and [[Lorenzo de' Medici|Lorenzo de' Medici's]] ally during the time of Assassin's Creed: Lineage And Assassin's Creed 2 but betrayed them by issuing an arrest on [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]], [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]] and [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] (Though he escapes it) by the order of [[Rodrigo Borgia]]. He is also Ezio's first assassination target in the game.

== Biography ==

=== ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]'' ===
Uberto aids both Giovanni and Lorenzo by giving them advice but when Giovanni discovers possible evidence of the templar's wrong doings, Uberto gets rid of it, revealing his alligeance to the templars.

=== ''[[Assassin's Creed 2]]'' ===

[[File:UbertosDeath.jpg|thumb|left|Ezio assassinates Uberto]]
Ezio meets Uberto for the first time in Giovanni's office conversing about something urgent, though Ezio is dismissed by his father before he can understand what they were talking about. Soon, Giovanni sends Ezio with a letter containing evidence that he must give to Uberto. Ezio does as his father asks, swiftly making it to Uberto's house (Which Rodrigo is currently at). Uberto immediately knows whats in the envelope and asks Ezio if he would like to stay at his house, though Ezio declines. Soon after receiving the letter, Uberto accuses [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]], [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]] and [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] (though he escapes because of his errands) of treason. At the day of the execution, Giovanni reminds Uberto of evidence given to him by Ezio that proves his family innocent, but much to his suprise, Uberto confesses that he never received a letter, sentencing the three to death. With the sight of their deaths, Ezio promised he would kill Uberto for what he had done, but Brute Guards disarmed Ezio before he could get close enough. Several days after the execution Paola, leader of the courtesans, tracked Uberto down for Ezio, giving him a chance of vengence. As Ezio dispatched the guards defending him, he brutally murdered Uberto with his hidden blade, avenging his father and brothers.

== Trivia ==

*Uberto saved the templars from many close calls by destroying evidence of their conspiracy and hindering their enemy's progress
*It should be noted that Ezio assassinates Alberti in a rather "sloppy" manner when you consider that he does so by stabbing the man with the hidden blade at least several times in the chest, rather than plunging the blade into his targets throat, which is the traditional assassination technique used by other assassins, including his ancestor Altair. Of course, this could be easily explained and understandable to most, since it is Ezio's first time tracking down a primary assassination target, and he has not been trained exstensively by that point.

'''Pope Alexander VI''' (1 January 1431 – 18 August 1503), born '''Roderic Llançol''', later '''Roderic de Borja i Borja''' ([[wikipedia:Italian|Italian]]: '''Rodrigo Borgia''') was [[wikipedia:Pope|Pope]] from 1492 to 1503. He is one of the most controversial of the [[wikipedia:Renaissance|Renaissance]] popes, and his surname (Italianized as ''[[wikipedia:Borgia|Borgia]]'') became a byword for the debased standards of the papacy of that era. He is portrayed by [[wikipedia:Manuel Tadros|Manuel Tadros]] in both ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''.

==Biography==
===''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''===
Italy, during the Renaissance, the [[wikipedia:House of Medici|Medicis]] are ruling over [[Florence]]. But a conspiracy in a attempt to overthrow the powerful [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] is being plotted. Rodrigo Borgia is part of it. One night of 1476, Rodrigo is on his way to leave Florence with few of his men in the dark streets of the city. Suddenly, [[Giovanni Auditore]] intercepts him. Rodrigo flees immediately as the Assassin is fighting with his men. Hidden behind a corner, he sees the Assassin capturing one of his men. The prisoner reveals to Rodrigo's enemies the assassination of [[wikipedia:Galeazzo Maria Sforza|Galeazzo Maria Sforza]], Duke of Milan and a powerful ally of Lorenzo. However, the Assassin arrives too late. Rodrigo and his accomplices' plan has succeed. He is planning the next move.

===''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''===
{{Spoiler}}

[[File:Rodrigo acii.png|thumb|left]]
We can see Rodrigo on the execution platform of Florence, attending to the judgement of [[Giovanni Auditore]] and his sons. He is later seen during a meeting for the [[wikipedia:Pazzi#The conspiracy|plot of the Pazzis]] and the [[Templars]] in a catacomb under the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella.

Borgia is later found in [[Venice]], discussing with [[Carlo Grimaldi]] and the Barbarigos about killing the current Doge so that one of them can replace the Doge and take control of Venice. He appears later on to claim the [[Piece of Eden]] the Templars found in Cyprus. [[Ezio]], disguised as the carrier of the artifact, attempts to kill Borgia, but he had planned this out, knowing that Ezio would do this. The two then begin a battle against each other, with Ezio being the victor. However, Borgia calls in his guards and is ready for battle once again, when suddenly, all of Ezio's allies throughout the story appear and help him defeat Borgia, who then escapes from them before Ezio can kill him.

In the Final Memory Block, Ezio travels to [[Rome]] to assassinate Borgia, who has now become the Pope. Ezio sneaks into the Vatican and seemingly assassinates Borgia without being seen, after Ezio finishes speaking with Borgia he leaves only to have him rise from the ground and uses his Piece of Eden, the Papal Cross to strike down Ezio and everyone else in the room. However, he is surprised to see that Ezio has not given up his will to stop him, instead he brings out his own Piece of Eden, The Apple, Ezio then summons 4 clones of himself to assist him in his battle against Borgio, eventually defeating him. Borgio snatches The Apple from Ezio's hands, and combines it with The Staff to open up the door to The Vault, which had been underneath Rome the whole time. Ezio tries to stop but he is lifted into the air by Borgio and stabbed with a sword, lying on the ground as Borgio escapes into the Vault. Ezio eventually finds the Vault, with Borgia furiously pounding the door to the inner chambers, Ezio drops down into the pit where he is, and challenges him to a battle with no weapons, Borgia accepts and the two have one last Battle. During the battle, Borgia states that he never believed in The Bible or in God, and only became Pope to get the Staff and access to the Vault, wanting to unify Italy under the Templar rule. Ezio defeats Borgia but refrains from killing him, saying that killing him will not bring back his family, leaving him alone in the Vault.

[[File:Dantemoro.png|thumb|Dante at the Venetian carnival.]]Dante Moro is a Templar and personal bodyguard of [[Marco Barbarigo]]. He was previously the captain of the city guard and a good friend of Marco's.

But Marco was jealous of Dante's wife Carlotta, and hired a hitman to stab Dante in the head. Dante survived with severe brain damage and the mind of a child.

He is first seen in Venice with Marco, [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and [[Carlo Grimaldi]] plotting to kill the Doge. He is next seen in the carnival with Silvio, where he fights Ezio in hand tom hand to win a golden mask. He and Silvio cheat to win the mask and prevent Ezio from entering Marco's private party and killing him. Ezio then steals the golden mask from him and attends the party. Dante shows up and tries to look for Ezio, but fails, resulting in Marco's death. Dante goes with Silvio and escapes to a different part of [[Venice]]. Ezio finds them and kills them both when they are heading for a ship. Ezio asks them where they were going, and Silvio says he will not tell. Dante, however, says they are going to Cyprus, and is about to tell Ezio what for, but dies.

[[File:Carlogrimaldi.png|thumb|Carlo in Venice.]]Carlo Grimaldi was a Templar and a government official. He was close to Doge Monicego of Venice and plotted to kill him. He was also a member of the Council Of Ten.

Carlo craved for political power, and knew the Doge of Venice. He used this to his advantage, and had heard that the Doge's daughter wanted to be with a slave but her father would not allow it. Carlo told them to escape on a boat that very night. When they arrived at the boat, they found Carlo waiting for them with a few guards and the Doge himself. The slave was killed and the Doge trusted Carlo enough to allow him into the Council Of Ten.

Carlo is first seen meeting with [[Emilio Barbarigo]] and informing him of Ezio's arrival in Venice. He leaves just before Emilio is assassinated. He is next seen in Venice meeting with [[Marco Barbarigo]], [[Dante Moro]] and [[Silvio Barbarigo]]. They plot to poison the Doge.

Carlo is encountered in the Doge's palace, where he is playing chess with the Doge. Ezio turns up only to realise that the Doge has been poisoned. Carlo blames Ezio for his death then runs out of the building. Ezio pursues him and assassinates him in the courtyard.
