- "I am Consus, the Erudite God."

Biography
Giovanni's guardian
In 1498, shortly after his birth, Giovanni Borgia was discovered to be malformed and likely to die within a few days. The Assassin Perotto Calderon was able to heal his presumed son after stealing the Shroud, one of the Pieces of Eden created by the First Civilization.[2]
Throughout his childhood thereafter, Giovanni would have delusions of seeing a nonexistent being, whom he befriended and called Consus. Consus often spoke in Giovanni's head and gave him advice, even once allowing Giovanni to read a letter given to him, though the boy himself did not know how at the time.[3]
Though of questionable origin, Consus seemed to be in favor of the Assassins or simply against the Templars. Giovanni's grandfather would ask Giovanni about Consus and if he could speak with him, but Giovanni would simply answer that Consus was not there, as he "does not play when Nonno is around."[3]
Additionally, in 1503, Consus attempted to convince Giovanni to give the Apple of Eden to Fiora Cavazza, when she had come to retrieve it for the Assassins,[4] and later advised Giovanni to go with Francesco Vecellio to join the Assassin Brotherhood.[3]
Though these hallucinations did not appear to occur later in his life, Giovanni did not forget them. Upon bringing the Crystal Skull to Bombastus in 1520, he met a madman by the name of Johan who, upon seeing him, called out to Consus, causing Giovanni to demand him for an explanation of using the name. However, the Assassin received none, as Johan fearfully mumbled that he had mentioned "consent."[5]
Erudite God
- "Giovanni drops to the floor, unconscious. I kneel beside him. His eyes suddenly open, but a stranger gazes at me. Giovanni's face alters before my very eyes!"
- ―Maria with Giovanni in the temple.[src]
When Giovanni and Maria Amiel traveled to the Temple of Pythagoras in the late 16th century, the Vault within it reacted to Giovanni as it would to a descendant of the First Civilization, shining with symbols and glyphs.[6]
When Giovanni fell unconscious and awoke soon after, his face had changed into that of a seemingly ancient entity. He spoke in a distant and unfamiliar voice, where he claimed himself to be Consus, the Erudite God.[6]
