Rodrigo Borgia

==Summary==
Rodrigo Borgia (1431 – 1503), born Roderic Llançol i de Borja, was the head of the Catholic Church from 11 August 1492 until his death, reigning as Pope Alexander VI. From 1476, he served as Grand Master of the Italian Rite of the Templar Order.
Originally hailing from Spain, Rodrigo moved to Italy where he studied and joined the Catholic Church, eventually becoming a cardinal. Using the influence he gained from his clerical position, Rodrigo conspired several plots to murder political leaders across the country to claim it under the Templar banner. As one of the wealthiest men in Europe, Rodrigo's power as Grand Master spread all over the continent.
In 1488, Rodrigo was responsible for shipping an Apple of Eden from Cyprus to Venice, before it was stolen by his arch-enemy, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and his fellow Italian Assassins. In 1492, via several bribes and power plays, Rodrigo won the Papal conclave, and became one of the most controversial Renaissance popes.
Under the leadership of the Borgia, the Templars focused primarily on establishing their power and control in Europe, losing sight of their true ideology. The Templars commonly refer to this era as the "Dark Age of the Order".

Attack Potency: At least Small Building level+ (Traded blows with Giovanni Auditore. Later fought against his son Ezio Auditore da Firenze twice, one of them being in unarmed combat while the latter had Altaïr's armor equipped in the second fight, with both the armor and Ezio being able to tank cannonballs of this magnitude on their lonesome), higher with his sword, and even higher with the Staff of Eden (Became considerably stronger than before. Easily sent Ezio flying with a single blast from his Staff and knocked everyone down and out in the process, and could now even stab through him despite the Assassin having equipped Altaïr's armor at the time. Easily managed to defeat Apple-generated clones made by Ezio, with Apple clones being able to damage Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who is this durable)

Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Wrestled with and pushed back Ezio many times in their confrontations, with Ezio being able to contend with a Staff-amped Rodrigo even without the additional power-ups), higher with the Staff of Eden (Easily overpowered the Apple of Eden's projections, which are on par with Bayek and vastly superior to the Minotaur, who can casually ragdoll Kassandra, rip humans apart and casually push through massive stone pillars. Should also thus be equal in strength to Tsar Alexander III, who casually lifted a train carriage and tipped it to the other side while being separated from the Staff)

Fell out of his prime after his defeat at Ezio's hands and suffered from various illnesses afterwards (Though his durability remained unchanged as not long after his illness he was charged by a stag and survived relatively unharmed).
