Baltasar de Silva (unknown – 1503) was Cesare Borgia's master spy, and a member of the Templar Order. Though he disguised himself as a barber, he instead gathered information for the Borgia family, particularly on their enemies, the Assassins. In 2012, his genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by the Templar company Abstergo Industries, in the first stage of training for their Animus recruits, under the title of the Barber.
