He's one of the primary people to blame for my predilection with strange stories due to the fact his strip was still in print in local newspapers where my grandparents lived when I was an impressionable brat, and also due to my later finding out Ripley was born in and buried at Santa Rosa, a town just ten miles or so from where I grew up and live now.

His collections of odd and often unbelievable facts was a large part of my eclectic childhood. This is important because after his death, those that took over management of his empire -- and it was an empire -- had a slightly different idea of what constituted 'facts' and what the strip and its books should offer. Where Ripley himself was fascinated with being able to present fantastic stories that he could claim sometimes thinly had been presented as true, the people who continued his work were perfectly willing to just make up stories that they figured would sell.

So those are the guys I'm blaming this one on, since the first appearance of this story is near thirty years after Ripley's death!

During Rodrigo Borgia 's reign as Pope, and Cesare Borgia 's time as leader of the Papal army, Octavian de Valois aided the Templars by providing military aid, allowing them to retain their influence in Rome. Following this, Louis assigned Octavian to lead his Italian campaign, despite the fact that his cousin had no actual experience in warfare, and had only received formal training. As the king's secretary wrote, " Nonetheless, Octavian accepted the responsibility.

The following year, Octavian met Cesare and Juan Borgia at the French court, where the latter two were there to court Cesare's future wife, Charlotte d'Albret.

After spending a month with them, Octavian went with the Borgia to Italy, thinking that the country would be given to him after they had destroyed all opposition. On 2 January of , Octavian accompanied Cesare, Lucrezia Borgia , and his Templar cohorts to Monteriggioni , where they laid siege to the town in an attempt to eliminate the Assassin Order and Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

When the Borgia infantry breached the city walls, Cesare, Octavian, and the others walked into the city, with Caterina Sforza and Mario Auditore as their prisoners. Cesare then took a golden wheel-lock firearm from Octavian, which had been reluctantly fashioned by Ezio's ally Leonardo da Vinci , and shot Mario in the head. There, Cesare left the city in the hands of his three generals as he left for Urbino.

Octavian questioned Cesare's orders regarding the Vatican , but Cesare simply told him not to worry, and that they would soon have no need of them. Octavian went on to station several of his men at the Castello, in order to fortify its defenses.

In , Ezio Auditore came to the conclusion that Octavian had to die in order for Cesare to lose the protection and allegiance of the French army. After killing Juan on August 1, he sought aid from his fellow Assassin, Bartolomeo d'Alviano , the leader of the mercenaries in Rome, who was directly opposing the advance of Octavian's French troops. The French staged an assault on Bartolomeo's barracks , but Ezio and the Italian mercenaries were able to defend it. Thus, Octavian himself moved to the front lines and called out for Bartolomeo's attention.
