	After the short reign of Pius III, Giuliano was elected Pope in 1503, to which he took the name of Julius, not after the 4th-century Pope, Julius I, but the Roman dictator, [[Julius Caesar]].

	In 1505, Julius learned of [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s previous work as an engineer for Cesare, having created several [[war machine]]s for his army. Despite Cesare's imprisonment and Leonardo ~~having been forced into servitude~~, Julius ~~still~~ elected to deprive the Borgia of ~~his~~ genius and secretly put a hit on him. ~~After finding out about this~~, ~~the Italian Assassins' [[Mentor]] and~~ Leonardo's friend [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio Auditore]] ~~intercepted~~ Julius' mercenaries ~~and dispatched them~~ before they could ~~kill~~ Leonardo.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 1\|Issue #01]]</ref>		In 1505, Julius learned of [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s previous work as an engineer for Cesare, having created several [[war machine]]s for his army. Despite Cesare's imprisonment and Leonardo's unwilling cooperation, Julius elected to deprive the Borgia of the inventor's genius and secretly put a hit on him. Fortunately, Leonardo was saved by his friend [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio Auditore]], the [[Mentor]] of the Italian Assassins, who killed Julius' mercenaries before they could reach Leonardo.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 1\|Issue #01]]</ref>

	===~~Meeting~~ with ~~Ezio~~===		===Alliance with the Assassins===
	~~Following~~ the ~~capture~~ of ~~Cesare~~ Borgia~~'s right-hand man [[Micheletto Corella]] by the Assassins~~, Julius ~~employed Leonardo da Vinci as a military engineer~~ and ~~later met with Ezio Auditore to talk about~~ the ~~[[Pieces of Eden\|Piece of Eden]] in his possession, which Leonardo's apprentice [[Salaì]]~~ had ~~informed him~~ of. ~~Julius ultimately decided it was best for the artifact to remain with the Assassins~~, ~~although~~ he ~~advised Ezio~~ to ~~hide it~~, ~~so that it could be used by future generations~~.<ref name="ACB novel"/>		After the fall of the Borgia, Julius worked to rebuild Rome and revive the city from the decrepit state that it had fallen into during the period of Borgia rule. During this time, he revised his opinion of Leonardo and decided to employ his services himself, hiring Leonardo as a military engineer for his army.<ref name="ACB novel"/>

	~~Despite his newfound alliance with~~ the Assassins, ~~Julius~~ opposed ~~Ezio~~'s decision to kill Cesare ~~and Micheletto~~, as ~~the Assassin~~ still ~~believed they were~~ a threat ~~despite their imprisonment~~. ~~Julius later worked~~ to ~~rebuild Rome~~ and ~~revive the city from the decrepit state that it had fallen into during the period of Borgia rule~~.<ref name="ACB novel"/>		Julius also became an ally of the Assassins, receiving counsel from Ezio, though he opposed the Mentor's decision to kill the imprisoned Cesare, even as Ezio claimed that Cesare still posed a threat. Instead, the Pope reached an agreement with King [[Ferdinand II of Aragon\|Ferdinand II]] and Queen [[Isabella I of Castile\|Isabella I]] to have Cesare transferred to a more secure prison in [[Spain]], and declined to tell Ezio its location.<ref name="ACB novel"/>

	Intending to curb the [[Republic of Venice\|Venetian]] influence in northern [[Italy]], Julius created the [[War of the League of Cambrai\|League of Cambrai]], which served as an anti-Venetian alliance that included [[Louis XII of France]], the Holy Roman Emperor [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor\|Maximillian I]], and [[Ferdinand II of Aragon]]. The League was initially a success, but the friction between Julius and Louis caused it to collapse by 1510.<ref name="ACID">''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]'' – [[Database: War of the League of Cambrai]]</ref>		After learning from Leonardo's apprentice [[Salaì]] about a [[Pieces of Eden\|Piece of Eden]] held by the Assassins, Julius met with Ezio to discuss the [[Apple of Eden 6\|artifact]].
