In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, which historical family leads the Templars in Rome?
Answer
The Borgia family
In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, the Borgia family leads the Templars in Rome.
The game's principal antagonists are Cesare Borgia and his father, Rodrigo Borgia, who appears as Pope Alexander VI. Their political power, military ambitions, and control of Rome create the central threat that Ezio must oppose.
Brotherhood continues Ezio's story after Assassin's Creed II and focuses on rebuilding the Assassin Brotherhood in Rome. Ezio recruits allies, liberates districts, and weakens Borgia influence by dismantling guard towers and defeating important agents.
The Borgia name is historical, although the game dramatizes events and relationships for entertainment. The Medici are strongly associated with Florence, while the Pazzi feature prominently in Assassin's Creed II. The Sforza family also appears in Renaissance-related parts of the series, but it is not the ruling Templar family in Brotherhood.
