Rodrigo Borgia, born at Xativa, near Valencia, in Spain, 1 January, 1431; died in Rome, 18 August, 1503. His parents were Jofre Lançol and Isabella Borja, sister of Cardinal Alfonso Borja, later Pope Callixtus III.
The young Rodrigo had not yet definitely chosen his profession when the elevation of his uncle to the papacy (1455) opened up new prospects to his ambition. He was adopted into the immediate family of Callixtus and was known henceforward to the Italians as Rodrigo Borgia. Like so many other princely cadets, he was obtruded upon the Church, the question of a clerical vocation being left completely out of consideration. After conferring several rich benefices on him, his uncle sent him for a short year to study law at the University of Bologna. In 1456, at the age of twenty-five, he was made Cardinal Deacon of St. Nicolo in Carcere, and held that title until 1471, when he became Cardinal-Bishop of Albano; in 1476 he was made Cardinal-Bishop of Porto and Dean of the Sacred College (Eubel, Hierarchia Catholica, II, 12).

Rodrigo Borgia better known as Pope Alexander VI is the pope and father to four children: Cesare Borgia, Juan Borgia, Joffre Borgia, and Lucrezia Borgia . He had two mistresses Vanozza Dei Cattenei and Giulia Farnese.
Appearance[]
He is described as a devote Catholic, but he is not the perfect Catholic cardinal, let alone the perfect choice for the position of Holy Father. On the surface, he is seen to be deeply religious, but in secrecy he maintains his four children, his former mistress who is also the mother of the children and a new mistress while being Pope.
Personality[]
As a pious Cardinal of the Holy Catholic Church, Rodrigo is not without sin. As seen in the first episode, he is willing to stoop to any level in order to win the required majority of the Cardinals in Conclave to become the new Holy Father. This includes stripping the monastries and churches under Borgia rule of wealth to bribe the Cardinals for their votes
