Ruggiero Ferraro (unknown – 1721) was an Italian diplomat and member of the Templar Order.
Not much is known about Ruggiero, other than the fact that he was born in Italy and eventually achieved diplomatic status to the city of Kingston, in Jamaica. He had a low opinion of the city, claiming that there was "no passion" in the architecture and culture.
He was also bigoted towards the British, taunting the soldiers guarding him by claiming that Italy would always be the epitome of culture, while the British would continue to fool themselves into thinking that they would become leaders of the world.
In 1718, Ruggiero's name appeared in a list of Templar bureaucrats. Assassin bureau leader Antó attempted to locate him to no avail. He was not heard of again until 1721, when he was invited to Woodes Rogers' banquet in Kingston. Needing a disguise assassinate Rogers, Edward Kenway was tasked by Antó to kill him and steal his diplomatic uniform. Kenway did so, effectively ending another Templar life.
