Biography
In 1491, Tomás de Torquemada served Rodrigo Borgia, whom he greatly admired. He had been provided with a list of names of people who had to be executed. Believing them to be heretics, Tomás had his men capture them and prepared them for execution. Torquemada was not aware of the fact that Rodrigo Borgia used him as a tool to kill the Spanish Assassins.
However, the Assassins Ezio Auditore and Raphael Sanchez were trying to prevent the executions and killed Gaspar Martinez, who was to oversee the execution of the first Assassin in Barcelona.
Sometime later, he visited Pedro Llorente, the Inquisition's Calficador, in Zaragoza. Here, the two men oversaw the execution of one of the Assassins. Ezio Auditore overheard their conversation and discovered that the names had been provided by Rodrigo Borgia, causing him to decide on assassinating Pedro Llorente, as soon as Torquemada had left.
torquemada then travelled to the besieged city of Granada, where he met with Juan de Marillo and ordered him to round up all heretics in the city. This never happened, as Ezio managed to assassinate Juan without anyone noticing.
Not long after that, Ezio made his way through Torquemada's castle in an attempt to find out how much he knew of the Templar Order, and whether or not he was a Templar himself. Ezio confronted him, but Torquemada denied any knowledge of a Templar conspiracy. He then lowered a gate and managed to escape from the Assassin. [1]
