Papal Guards stand either side of their commander, Cesare Borgia.

The Papal Guard were elite soldiers commanded by the Papacy to serve and protect the pontiff during his tenure. The armor worn by these guards seemed largely ceremonial in design, although it seemed to serve its purpose well enough,it was unable to stop the blade of an assassin.

By 1503, the Papal Guard protected Pope Alexander VI, and were commanded by the Pope's son, Cesare Borgia. During that year, several guards were forced to confront several assassins, including Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who had attacked the Papal parade in Rome.
