Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

-The '''Passetto di Borgo''' is an eight-hundred meter long elevated walkway that runs through the [[Vaticano District]] in [[Rome]], connecting the [[Sistine Chapel]] with the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]].
-==History==
-On 28 December 1499, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] fought his way along the Passetto di Borgo in order to reach [[Rodrigo Borgia|Pope Alexander VI]], [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Master]] of the [[Roman Rite of the Templar Order|Italian Templars]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
-Roughly four years later, after Rodrigo's son, [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]], killed him using a [[Cantarella|poison-filled]] apple, Cesare used the Passetto to try and reach the [[Apple of Eden 6|Apple of Eden]] which Rodrigo had hidden in the courtyard within [[St. Peter's Basilica]]. However, this attempt ultimately failed, as Ezio managed to race to the location first and retrieve it, shortly escaping the Vatican afterwards.<ref name="ACBH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
-==Trivia==
-*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]],'' the Passetto di Borgo was significantly larger, looking much more like a city wall than the raised walkway it is in reality.
-*In ''Assassin's Creed II'', the Passetto di Borgo was wrongly placed on the banks of the [[Tiber|Tiber River]].
-*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', the Passetto di Borgo was an out-of-bounds area.
