Master of the Sacred Palace

The Master of the Sacred Palace (died 1500) was a Dominican friar following the Borgia. He ensured that all religious philosophies remained the most common source of knowledge.

In 1500, Nicolaus Copernicus, a fellow Templar, shared his knowledge on science with the public, which was forbidden by the Templar Order. Thus, the Master of the Sacred Palace sent several guards to kill Copernicus and his fellow scholars. All but one of the scholars were saved by the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze at Copernicus' request.

Copernicus later concluded that the Master of the Sacred Palace was the most likely source of the attacks, so Ezio eventually tracked him down and killed him. Before his death, the Master of the Sacred Palace explained that Ezio was too late to save Copernicus, as he had already sent some guards to kill him. Nevertheless, Ezio managed to rescue Copernicus from the Assassin.
