Copernicus Conspiracy
Copernicus Conspiracy was a free DLC for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, released exclusively for the PlayStation 3 on the game's release. It focused on the famed astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, who entered into trouble with the Vatican, as they did not want Copernicus educating the public about astronomy. The DLC consisted of eight optional missions, ranging from courier, assassination and protection objectives.
Plot
The plot began with Nicolaus Copernicus sharing his teachings to a crowd within the Palazzo Senatorio, in clear defiance against the Templars' wishes. As Ezio arrived, Vatican guards arrived to kill Copernicus in order to prevent his teachings from spreading. With this, Ezio saved Copernicus and escorted him to a small safehouse outside the Colosseo. Copernicus, wanting to warn the other scholars in Rome, gave Ezio letters to hand to them before they were assassinated by the guards. While it was too late for one of the scholars, the others managed to escape.
Upon arriving back, Copernicus came to the conclusion that it was the "Master", a man appointed by the Pope to keep Rome's philosophy pure, who ordered the killings. Ezio tailed a cardinal to a meeting with the Master and overheard a discussion of five of Rome's best guards going out to deal with the situation. Ezio killed them and then reported back to Copernicus, who informed him that there was a lunar eclipse he wished to chronicle.
Ezio returned to Rome and killed the Master with his Hidden Blade, but in the man's dying words, the Master revealed that guards were already on their way to kill Copernicus, and that Ezio was too late. Under the eclipse, Ezio rushed back to kill the guards before they get to Copernicus, and after this, Copernicus indulged Ezio with some of his findings. Copernicus then thanked Ezio, and the two went their separate ways.
