With Rodrigo unwilling to share his riches, Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada used his power as a prominent cleric and as the Spanish Templars' secret leader to brand Rodrigo and his crew as heretics and shut down his operation.[1]
After sacrificing his entire secret fortune as penance to the Inquisition to avoid a harsher sentence, Rodrigo and his crew joined forces with the Brotherhood, hoping to get their revenge.[1]
