In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Copernicus is in Rome researching the skies. However, upon learning that he questions the Earth being the center of the universe, and is ordered to be killed. Oddly enough this assassination is stopped by master assassin Ezio Auditore, who then does several more missions for Copernicus saving other astronomers, and fighting back against the Borgia and their geocentric views.
