The Borgia family line is noted as being one of the most riveting tales of aristocracy + religious life known to European history.
So to see rather conflicting view points of this family; now that makes for an interesting study.
I'm not even going to try and defend the family. I acknowledge that they're less than friendly; that their ideals of powerlust have caused the undoubted demises of many prominent and not so prominent citizenry. I also won't say that I have a particular favorite in any of that family.
Rather it is the family's portrayal in the TV show by the same name versus the individuals in Assassin's Creed that I have noted such correlations.
I'm going to go on a limb and say that the war between the Assassin's and the Templars is most likely fictionalized. That the story is just that; a story. But I don't doubt the existence of secret societies and the likely murder that followed in their trails.
It is in this sequence that I suspect that the true story behind the interesting lives of the Borgia family will unfurl for me.
I'm neither done with the games nor am I done with the series; it is only time that will decide which I should end up enjoying more.
