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. 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.

Trivia

• These guards were the precursor to the Swiss guard, who have protected the pontiff since 1548.
