	Originally hailing from [[Spain]], Rodrigo moved to [[Italy]] where he studied and joined the Catholic Church, eventually becoming a [[cardinal]]. Using the influence he gained from his clerical position, Rodrigo masterminded several plots to murder political leaders across the country in an attempt to unify it under the Templar banner. As one of the wealthiest men in [[Europe]], Rodrigo's power as Grand Master spread all over the continent.

As one of the wealthiest men in [[Europe]], Rodrigo's power as Grand Master spread all over the continent.

	In 1488, Rodrigo was responsible for shipping an [[Apple of Eden 6\|Apple of Eden]] from [[Cyprus]] to [[Venice]], before it was stolen by his arch-enemy, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] and his fellow [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Italian Assassins]]. In 1492, via several bribes and power plays, Rodrigo won the [[Papacy\|Papal]] conclave, and became one of the most controversial [[Renaissance]] popes.

	Under the leadership of the [[House of Borgia]], the Templars focused primarily on establishing their power and control in Europe, losing sight of their true ideology.

	Initially an ambitious middle-aged man, Rodrigo was intent, as Cesare later would be, on taking Italy in the name of the Templar Order and exterminating the Assassins. After becoming Pope, his obsession of not only conquering Italy but also of realizing what he believed to be his true calling as the Prophet intensified. He actively sought to take the Apple of Eden from Savonarola, as demonstrated when he sent battalions of his family's soldiers to Florence to retrieve it.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>		Initially an ambitious middle-aged man, Rodrigo was intent, as Cesare later would be, on taking Italy in the name of the Templar Order and exterminating the Assassins.

	After his duel with Ezio in the Vault, and the shattering revelation that he was not the Prophet, Rodrigo was reduced to being an empty shell, and instead of continuing to pursue his dreams of infinite power and the extermination of the Assassin Order, he focused on maintaining his monopoly over Rome. However, he still cared for the principles of the Templar Order other than just power and he died trying to protect it from his son Cesare, who he believed was corrupting their work for personal gain. He also gained a respect for the Assassins as worthy foes rather than his previous disregard of them and made an effort to avoid coming into conflict with them, reprimanding his errant son for provoking them.<ref name="ACB" />		After his duel with Ezio in the Vault, and the shattering revelation that he was not the Prophet, Rodrigo was reduced to being an empty shell, and instead of continuing to pursue his dreams of infinite power and the extermination of the Assassin Order, he focused on maintaining his monopoly over Rome.
