Becoming pope is one of the biggest flexes in videogame villain history
Rodrigo was no fucking joke. Not to mention in the novel he was nearly even with Ezio in both of their encounters. While in his 60s . . . with syphilis. Guy was basically the AC version of Palpatine.
@@austinkersey2445 *70s
@@DonNadie756 Yeah, I'm not fresh on my Renaissance figures. But that makes it more impressive. Considering he held up better than his son.
@@austinkersey2445 His son was nowhere near the cunning threat Rodrigo was.
@@tigga2300 If Cesare wasn't a megalomaniacal cunt (in-game) he and Rodrigo (if he tried) probably would have beaten Ezio. Cesare was cunning, he was just a more direct threat with an army and was more militarily-minded. Rodrigo on the other hand is pretty much Renaissance-era Palpatine. He was great at using political maneuvering to outwit his opponents, and consistently was able to predict their movements. His only problem was the arrogance and ineptitude of his associates. Even with those issues, he still almost took Italy and would have won if Ezio simply stayed at Uberto Alberti's home
Dude... I just realized Uberto was totally going to kill Ezio when he invited him in.
I would of walked in foolishly good job Ezio didn’t
The last thing he would have heard: "Another misunderstanding, Auditore..."
I knew he was a traitor 2 timing snitch immediately after this encounter
I actually saw Borgia and thought “Is he gonna pull an Anakin”
No shit sherlock lmao
"You better run boy, and FAST."
Gods, I love that man.
I recently replayed this game, and was reminded that Rodrigo was genuinely pretty sinister/intimidating, with the accent and dark robe - and the way he only appears here and there, controlling things from the shadows. He was a good villain, even if unsympathetic and somewhat one-dimensional.
His voice and personality went a long way in crafting a cool villain from a rather shallow character with limited screen time.
"Unsympathetic and one dimensional" kkkkkkkk. What a joke
Wow, that sounds like Palpatine
He's not supposed to be sympathetic or multi-dimensional. He's a brutal devious man who wants power at any cost. That's all you need to know, but a lot of modern age whiners whine if their villains don't at least feel justifiable to them. It's nonsense really. Evil isn't meant to look appealing.
One of the best villain.
Rodrigo is definitely one of the best villains I've seen in a video game.
Imagine if Ezio had agreed to stay at the house in the beginning. It's guranteed they would have killed him while he was sleeping
0:57 if Ezio stayed there, it would have definitely been the end of his story. Brotherhood and Revelations would've never happened
LOL, they would have gutted Ezio like a fish the moment Rodrigo was in that house.
And Templars will likely win the whole Italy and Constantinople and perhaps the rest of the world.
@@ernestw2474 With Abstergo being as large as it is, I think they eventually did.
I haven't played any AC games after Black Flag so I'm not sure if they explore the present timeline more.
Surprisingly not, Cesare Rodrigo’s cited reason for losing in history and by Machiavelli himself is he couldn’t have replaced Rodrigo
Rodrigo would of had had doubts of his upbringing and would’ve hid the apple as he found he wasn’t the guy for the door to open to god
He would’ve went against Cesare someone would’ve he would of killed him for it and it would lead to a slow death for the Templar order
Rodrigo was far more compelling of an antagonist than Cesare
It's a genuine shame that he and Ezio never had a final confrontation.
@@codafett they had its just rodrigo decided to stay silent so cesare doesn't know ezio was easedropping on them
Cesare had a badass entrance, but eventually his ego got the best of him
But Cesare can rap from tha ac brotherhood trailer
It's crazy to think how different things would've been if Ezio actually followed Uberto's "advice" and stayed in his house for the night.
We will jump to haytham and connor story arc in the americas right away 😂😅
Then Desmond wouldn't exist. The kenway line and auditore line at some point married. William miles was from that line. He married Altair's descendant thus making Desmond.
The Sheev Palpatine of the Renaissance.
Wyatt Strauss ha ha
He even sai I am the prophet at 11:32 which is similar to I am the senate
“I am the papacy!”
“Not yet”
His first name is Emperor
Bro
It‘s nice to know that Rodrigo had not only the Italian Rite but also the Spanish Rite under his control. With Tomas de Torquemada as his puppet and also Grandmaster of the Spanish Rite, he was behind the Spanish Inquisition…😉
He was better then his son.
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Rest In Peace."
Nothing is true, his quest for revenge was abandoned willingly.
Everything is permitted, he spared his target's life.
Rest In Peace, Borgia can sleep soundly without fear of being killed.
Cesare Borgia killed Rodrigo Borgia with an Apple!
Rodrigo Borgia left the game
Cesare Borgia : IF I WANT YOU TO DIE, DIE!
Ezio already killed probably hundreds of people in his quest for revenge. Why does Rodrigo get a pass with Superhero "I've become what I hate" logic when literally fountains of blood have already been spilled by Ezio's own hand?
@@jakirakumahata5701 Rodrigo was completely thwarted at that point. In killing him, Ezio would have lost himself in a bitter post vengeance. He denied himself that course of action for the betterment of himself. When Ezio confronted Cesare he had since come to terms with the situation of mercy biting him in the ass, so he let him fall and let mother nature strike the killing blow.
@@paleriderpalehorse55 Rodrigo himself was against attacking Monteriggioni and for a VERY GOOD reason.
@@jakirakumahata5701 Well funny thing is, that Rodrigo didn’t want to mess with Ezio after that ass beating. Ezio literally beat the ambition out of him. It was his son that want to cause problems at that point and even Rodrigo says that he was stupid for messing with Ezio.
Rodrigo Borgia is genuinely surrounded by idiots.
Is it me, or did he literally collapse from over-exertion, from punching Ezio until his heart gave out?
I mean look at the fuckin guy.
Clocking in at around 350 lbs, in his 60’s, and hadn’t done physical activity in years
@@chris9242 and he had syphilis
Imagine Ezio accept to stay and then the best trilogy is over. My brother threw me that 8 years ago and I'm still lost.
Lol, ezio had sooo many chances to kill all the templars in one place. They were literally walking in front of him in Venezia. Wtf
Yeah ,but he still wouldn't have beaten them. He couldn't beat Rodrigo Borgia in the sword duel and only was capable of doing so at the end. And besides ,he would have broken the third tennet of the creed: "Never compromise the brotherhood"
Hope I cleared up some things ^^
One thing this game is good at presenting (better than it's sequels anyway) is that Ezio isn't invincible. He'd get overwhelmed by all the guards quickly.
@@codafett No he wouldn't.Look at acrevelations opening lmao
Uto Resa 519 Ezio from AC revelations is older and more experienced than AC2 Ezio, and is more skilled in combat. Come on nowwwww. The dude said that ac2 did a better job of showing Ezio’s vulnerability than his other games. In ac revelations, he was a tank and a beast....far from a vulnerable child like he was in this game.
@@codafett ezio was learning back then duh. You know he was a teen and was more of a play boy filling up some holes.
Rodrigo Borgia, aka Pope Alexander VI and father to Juan, Lucretia, Cesare and Gioffre, but also the great-grandfather of St. Francis of Borja(he was the grandson of Juan), 2nd General of the Jesuits.
Correct. I come from the Francis Borgia line so it’s odd how history works.
Like father like son,both screamed "It's mine" at the end.
Back when AC was mysterious and cool, and actually good. The new games may be good games, but they seem soulless and like completely different games. They're not AC.
@iWillWakeYouUp
I feel that.
Exactly.
@Chicken Head for me I still tolerate Origin because of completion, but for Odyssey is meh...
Everything after Black Flag is Soulless, and even AC3 was a tad soulless too, hell everyone looked ugly as sin
New games are the complete opposite of soulless. You are just blinded by nostalgia and think you’re cool for hating on new games
Rodrigo was one of the best templars of all time because he manage to control most of Italy for his time before Mario and Ezio stopped him in AC2 but than someone worse takes in place in the next game and even if Cesare has help from the French the Assassin's will have the help of the people on their side too defeat him
The best? Even Otsoberg and abstergo say he and Cesare are terrible templars
@@darrenanthonius8371 maybe but at least he was less worse then his son Cesare since Cesare was pure eviler and more annoying and inaner all the way right 2peed2katez!
@@drewharding well yeah, he's more reserved, and i think he is more introverted and less paranoid compared to his son. Regardless though, both are still dogshit, and Templars like Shay, Haytham, and Elise are way better.
@@darrenanthonius8371 The modern day Templars still very much respected Rodrigo's abilities as Grand Master, as they built a statue of him in front of their Abstergo Entertainment building. They also have a portrait of him among other respected and honored Templars of the past like Robert De Sable of AC1.
@@darrenanthonius8371those templars you mention are fodder lol, they have way more less experiences then ezio, also Rodrigo with powers would neg diff haytham and shay at same time lmao
7:21 ahahaha gets me every time
Don’t forget this one 10:55
Sounds like Barney Gumble
Thank you so much for making this.
+codafett
You are welcome. Thank you for watching!
Rodrigo Borgia is my favorite Templar big bad besides Robert de sable, haytham kennway, Laureno de Torres, and Crawford Starrick
Sub Scorpion#9 sable was badass
The banker? Rodrigo is my second favorite behind Robert De Sable. Haytham Kenway comes in third.
@@tigga2300 Idk why I put the banker lol
This game has some of the best voice acting in video game history.
'He's gone'
*Wha- he is literally a 3 second run from where you are! Chase the man, it's easy!*
No, it's not that easy as you think. They are Assassins. They disappear...
@@SkarletBloodthirstyRodrigo is a Templar
@@craigarkensaw I am sure I was not talking about him. Or you think it is not obvious who he is?
Pay attention at the music in the background, so misterious, amazing!
something to remember is that it is not rodrigo that provokes ezio in brotherhood, it was cesare. wether it be to rebuild their shatterd influence or due to a genuine respect of his opponent (perhaps both), rodrigo did not do any open moves against the assasins post the battle at the vatikan. instead it was cesare whom not only royally provoked ezio but also gave him every reason to come to rome, the beating heart of their operations, with both his presence, openly using his own forces rather than third party puppets and the capture of katarina. cesare invited a cancer into their heart and it brought death and ruin to the italian rite. ezio would likely have gone to rome eventually but we can only speculate what rodrigo would have done with the time he likely would have had and with his hindsight and not bereft of his influence and role as the primary puppeter as he was in brotherhood due to cesares ambition.
i think its more because he lost all the meaning in his life by now. he spent his entire life plotting and scheming just to open the vault in the vatican. and all of that, ALL OF THAT, was taken away from him in the very last second just before the vault opened, and by none other than a loose threat that was just in the right place to not get killed with his family, Ezio Auditore.
Its obvious imo that he's been pretty depressed and just stopped caring after that happened. He barely appeared in ACB at all, and in his second cutscene he was killed by Cesare. He's clearly not happy about Cesare making really idiotic moves that put his entire life-long templar legacy further in danger.
I think if he'd still care, he would actually somewhat "team up" with Ezio to kill his son, if he'd survive Cesare's wrath after finding out he got poisoned.
God I HATE that scene when he runs away in Venice. The ENTIRE Brotherhood is standing not 20 feet away from him, and they just let him go. Then Machiavelli has the AUDACITY to question ME about letting him live?
It always saddens me that people on videos always kill everyone on the way and get that annoying notoriety music, when in fact there's a really cool song playing during the last fight with Rodrigo.
The first scene rodrigo was in, he looked like a fellow assassin.
When I first saw that scene, I thought we were going to meet more assassins after that part of the game, sure we did seen other assassins in game but I thought they all were going to wear hoods similar to Rodrigo or Ezio and la volpe
When i was young i thought he was. First played this when i was about 9 or 10 and i always remembered there being a “black robed assassin” growing up until i replayed it just last year and figured out everything
11:30 that drunk dude just watching the mayhem lol
😂
An ordinary day in Venice :D
The kills felt way more satisfying in this game than any others bc you actually wanted revenge
Rodrigo Borgia he was the one person Ezio needed to kill. Like, of all of his targets, if he only could choose one, it had to have been Rodrigo. He was a threat to so many others besides Ezio's family. Like, that much became blatantly obvious throughout the story. Ezio learns of the greater duties of Assassins and how his hunt has been bettering the world and protecting innocents by killing these templars.
But for some reason, Even at the end of the story, Ezio still thinks this is all about him and his family and spares Rodrigo for his own selfish reasons. It's not like he even coerced him into swearing to leave the templars or something like that. Instead, "Nah. Me me me. Revenge bad, family gone. Me me me. Have a good day, bye"
The Templars still had their Grand master, who has now occupied a position that makes him more blatantly powerful than kings. This guy was probably the biggest danger to literally every human being. But hey, who cares that Ezio spared someone so dangerous? Because personal epiphanies, that have no effect on literally any other person on the planet, are far more important.
Yeah, killing someone for revenge is not going to solve anything, but killing someone to stop them from continuing being a murderous lunatic is the pragmatic choice when you have no other means to stop them.
@beans.x3 It was actually the right move cause Rodrigo changes after this and chews the shit out of Cesare being an idiot for antagonising Ezio and basically lets the Assassins take over Roma cause the guy just doesn't care.
Best Bosses
1-Al Mualim
2-Rodrigo Borgia
3-Cesare Borgia
ACW 2973 , too easy to beat

Cesare was a moustache twirling villain with no substance.
Robert De Sable?
I actually think the ezio era villains are the worst. So one dimensional. I thought 3,4 and rogue had the best villains
The conversation 15:36 while fighting is actually cool.
12:33 Vibe Check
Borgias were the best Templar’s to me
At first I thought he was an assassin too but evil, because of the hood. I assumed that everyone with a hood in game is an assassin.
Ahh the music from Assassin's Creed I in 3:48 onward....all the memories come forth
2:26 when your Mom finds you stealing cookies from the cookie jar.
"Killing you won't bring my family back"
AAAAAAAAAND his uncle gets offed in the next game
Nice Job, Ezio! YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!
Though that was because of Cesare not Rodrigo. Rodrigo actually intended to leave Ezio alone after being defeated but his idiotic son thought otherwise. Ezio actually did a good thing by sparing Rodrigo cause the guy actually chews the shit out of Cesare for being an absolute moron in antagonising Ezio and actually lets the Assassins gain power to usurp the Templar influence.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475yes, but think about this. If Ezio killed Rodrigo, Cesare would’ve lost all his power and influence. He was Captain General of the Papal Armies
@craigarkensaw Sadly, that wouldn't have stopped him. As we saw in his first defeat, he eventually gained power and influence to escape from prison until finally being bested by Ezio. Also, the restoration of Rome wouldn't have been possible as well as it was if the events hadn't played out the way they did. Sometimes, sparing a life can lead to good things. Ezio still did the right thing by sparing Rodrigo's life in the grander scheme of things.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475I agree, but Mario could have lived if ezio killed rodrigo am I right? I mean Rodrigo told Cesare about the assassins and monteriggioni
But I guess Mario sacrificed himself for a greater good
@@richjc7004 Cesare had actually encountered the Assassins briefly before when that guy stole the apple and had Florence under his thumb for ages. The Borgias had some stuff going on behind the scenes. I don't think Cesare would be that unware about the Assassins presence already in Italy.
Was the real life Rodrigo Borgia this evil as the game portrayed him to be???
@Kaljath Panthermage
It's hard to say how depraved the Borgias actually were because they had enemies who were good at spinning propaganda.
That’s the question we all want to know the answer to. But that’s he genius of this game. History knew Rodrigo as a very controversial pope but how he really was behind all of that is kind of up to interpretation. The real Rodrigo might not have been so evil, but he could have been. We really don’t know
@@Sevvina interesting
I mean, in other ways maybe but he probably was not some master planner like this, it is historic fiction after all.
I shouldn’t say this but I kinda am liking the fact that I am descendant of Rodrigo through his son Juan. I’m to think I fought my ancestor in a video game. Lol
Really?
Damn, this looks old :D when i this was a masterpiece of its time. Awesome !!!
Francesco de pazzi and cesare borgia havethe same actor i just realised holy shit.
@Joshua Benak
His name is Andreas Apergis and he also voices General Israel Putnam, Otso Berg, Barnabas and many others. www.imdb.com/name/nm0032001/
His actor is one of the best in the series
It is ridiculous that Rodrigo would die after all this, just by putting an apple in his mouth!
12:00 pants were creamed during this entire scene
3:51 AC 1 ost Altair and Al Mualim talks
Scary to think what would have happened if Ezio had taken Uberto's offer to stay the night at his
A world dominated for the templars
He would have been killed.
@@DonNadie756 Oh man
🤣
Massive temper tantrums when they're defeated seems to be a bit of a family trait. It's better than begging to be spared, I guess.
Oh so gamers don't mind when Ezio doesn't kill Rodrigo after 20+ years of hunting down the people who killed his family, but when Ellie spares Abby for the same reason after travelling the US over months suddenly it's a massive issue?
Maybe it would have helped if Ellie also explained her actions through dialogue for those who need everything spelt out for them.
Kinda curious if you're u don't assassinate the gaurd in front of you

I don’t know why I found it so hilarious when he said I don’t think so

If ezio killed rodrigo he wouldn't get his family back but he would still have monterigionni mario and everything within the city
Also cesare would be weaker
NO, Cesare would have attacked anwaya... Actually Rodrigo bought time for Ezio in Brotherhood!
@@davedarius7346 you know i finished brotherhood when it came out
@@antihackerdude I finished Brotherhood, 2-3 years later(I played Revelations before brotherhood tho Lmao)but in any case, I think Cesare would have attacked The Villa even if Rodrigo was killed....Also, Ezio became a better man in Revelations due to 1. Learning forgiveness, eg: sparing Borgia 2. Experience ....At least Rodrigo tried killing Cesare and scolded him for attacking Ezio, but with Rodrigo dead, it's just cliche...
@@davedarius7346 he bought him shit, Monte Riggione got attacked the night Ezio got home.
Top templars bosses:
1) Al Mualim
2) Rodrigo Borgia
3) Laureano Torres
4) Haytham Kenway
John Pitcairn should be in there.
Haytham is miles better than Rodrigo
Al mualim is not a templar
I'm playing Assasians Creed II for the fourth time, I'm wondering is it not made clear until you fight Rodrigo while wearing that Templar disguise that you find out who he is, throughout the game he is known as the Spaniard and later in the sequences you learn the name but is not made clear until the point I mentioned where you learn the identity of Rodrigo?
Just curious because if Ezio knew that the Spaniard was Rodrigo he would have abandoned every mission when he saw him with the other templars
Everything was not going to be fine
Has anyone else noticed there's a dim red light shining on him in a lot of cutscenes, even though there isn't any source for that light?
2:33 I like her, she's a pretty woman
You mean that courtesan/prostitute
Prostitute
Marry her
So, Rodrigo is a southpaw?
Ahh I love the moment where Ezio Duplicates Himself Using the Apple, Just like Al-Mualim in the first game, such a dope scene :D

I love it!
@Skarlet Bloodthirsty
Thank you for watching!
How did the main villain even die
Ezio spared him. He died much later in AC: Brotherhood, when his own son, Cesare, fed him an apple that Rodrigo poisoned prematurely
Thank you for telling me after I'd be Assassin's Creed 2 it was kind of confused how he died
I'm probably going to play Brotherhood now
Or ac 3
Can someone explain to me what "the father of understanding" means?
Who voiced Rodrigo Borgia es badass
The Spaniard/Spagnolo
During Jacopo pazzi mission how did ezio figured out it was Rodrigo,he didn't reveal his face?
17:07 Rodrigo sounds like he created Atheism. I mean, I don't blame him. I tried reading the Bible, and all it did was make me see the future.
what the hell did he say at 7:57
