Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style. |
The Liberation of Rome was an event taking place in the Italian Renaissance in which the city of Rome was liberated from the rule of the Borgia by the Assassins and was brought into the Renaissance.
In 1500, the Master Assassin Ezio Auditore travelled to Rome to once more seek revenge on the Borgia. Rome, under the ruling influence of the Borgia, became decrepit, decaying under oppression and corruption. The people were starving, scared and feared for their lives. Ezio needed to make the people believe again. His mission was not just about destroying the Borgias - it was, more importantly, bringing the ideas and beliefs of the Renaissance to Rome.
Destroying the Borgia
Ezio proceeded to destroy twelve Borgia towers, all of which were propagating the Borgia influence across Rome. At the same time, he also recruited many distressed Roman civilians as Assassin Apprentices. Ezio managed to reestablished relationships with the respective guilds of the Thieves, Courtesans, and Mercenaries in the city. As Ezio began liberating Rome, he also restored many shops and famous Roman landmarks, successfully bringing the Renaissance to Rome.
As the Borgia influence was weakened day by day, the military presence in the district was diminished and crime occurred less often. To further bring down the Borgia, the Templar agents under the command of Cesare Borgia were hunted down by Ezio and his brotherhood. At this, the eyes and ears of the Templar were no more. Additionally, the followers of Romulus who were terrorizing the people of Rome and were secretly under the command of Cesare, were also brought down by Ezio
At last, the time to take on the Borgia directly had come. Ezio assassinated Juan Borgia the Elder (Cesare's banker) and Octavian de Valois (Cesare's general). He also attacked Micheletto (Cesare's personal assassin), but spared his life due to Ezio having to save another person's life.
Ezio then infiltrated the Castel Sant'Angelo to assassinate Rodrigo and Cesare Borgia and to retrieve the Apple of Eden. There, he witnessed Cesare murder Rodrigo, and quickly left in order to retrieve the Apple before Cesare could. He then used the Apple demilitarize Cesare's Papal forces by killing several key captains in a single attack.
Finally, upon attempting to call for reinforcements, Cesare was instead arrested by the new Pope, Julius II. Here, Rome was fully liberated from the influence of the Borgia and the Templars.
