Borgia Captains were guards working for the Borgia family during the Renaissance, and were primarily in charge of the defense of the Borgia Towers – which were twelve fortifications throughout Rome – as well as fiercely overseeing the shops, landmarks and houses nearby, with each tower having one Captain assigned to it. Borgia captains also oversee certain significant events.

In combat, the Captains fought similarly to Leaders, but were more durable and heavily armored. They wore a white cape with the Borgia crest on it and were slightly more skillful in countering enemy attacks. However, some were cowardly, and would flee if they detected the approach of an Assassin.

As a Borgia Captain was assigned to a Borgia Tower, patrols of the surrounding area would contain a greater amount of guards, as well as being closely watched, proving restricted to less privileged civilians. While under the control of a Borgia Tower and its Captain, control of the district would fall under the jurisdiction of the Templars, closing down any shops and other refurbishable areas, effectively preventing their renovation.

Though some Captains would choose to fight off a threat alongside their guards, others would flee from confrontations, seeking sanctuary within the tower. The heavy fortifications served as an effective protection for the Captain, who would only venture out at the next guard rotation, occurring between day and night.

However, once a Captain had been slain, Ezio Auditore could scale the towers before igniting several barrels of gunpowder at the top, freeing the nearby area from the rule of the Captain responsible, as well as providing him an opportunity to recruit another oppressed civilian to his cause.
