" The Papal guards are basically the ultimate elite guards that we're gonna have in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood."

―Ubisoft developer Christopher Weiler ^[1]

File:Papal Guards-Brotherhood.jpg

Papal Guards stand on either side of their commander, Cesare Borgia.

The Papal Guard or Swiss Guard were elite soldiers commanded by the Papacy to serve and protect the pontiff during his tenure. By 1503, the Papal Guard protected Pope Alexander VI, and were commanded by the Pope's son, Cesare Borgia. During that year, several guards were forced to confront several Assassins, including Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who had attacked the Papal parade in Rome,^[2] though the intentions of the attack are unknown at this time. The sole purpose of the Papal Guards is to kill Ezio and protect the pope. They carry the best of all the abilities held by other guard archetypes, and can easily deflect and counter many of Ezio's attacks.^[1]

Trivia

These guards were the precursor to the Swiss Guard, who have protected the pontiff since 1548.
The Papal guards may be less skilled than Ezio, however they are considerably stronger and have a larger build, being at least a head taller then Ezio.
As the Papal guards possess skills from all the guard archetypes and carry a variety of weapons, some may behave like Brutes, Agiles or Seekers.
