Borgia Captains were guards employed by the Borgia family during the Renaissance, and were primarily in charge of the defense of the Borgia Towers, twelve fortifications throughout Rome, as well as fiercely overseeing the shops, landmarks, and estates nearby, with each tower having one Captain assigned to it. Borgia captains also oversaw certain significant events.
In combat, the Captains fought similarly to Leaders, but were more durable and heavily armored. The Captains also resembled Leaders in appearance. They wore a white cape with the Borgia coat of arms on it and were skillful in countering enemy attacks. However, some were cowardly, and would flee upon being confronted.
Borgia Towers
As a Borgia Captain was assigned to a Borgia Tower, patrols of the surrounding area would contain a greater amount of guards, as well as being closely watched, proving restricted to less privileged civilians.
While under the control of a Borgia Tower and its Captain, control of the district would fall under the jurisdiction of the Templars, closing down any shops and other refurbishable areas, effectively preventing their renovation.
Though some Captains would choose to fight off a threat alongside their guards, others would flee from confrontations, seeking sanctuary within the tower. The heavy fortifications served as an effective protection for the Captain, who would only venture out at the next guard rotation, occurring between day and night.
However, once a Captain had been slain, the Assassin Ezio Auditore could scale the towers before igniting several barrels of gunpowder at the top, liberating the nearby area from the rule of the Captain responsible, as well as providing him an opportunity to recruit another oppressed civilian to his cause.
