At Rome, Italy, Chief Ripley orders Carmen and the player to look for Father Pietro Agnelli, the odds-on favorite to replace the gravelly ill Pope, before the Promethians can get their hands or him - or worse, convince him to join them. Unfortunately, the are proven to be too late when they find Pietro's body at the Piazza di Spagna, held in the arms of an statue and branded to death.
!!Tropes:
*BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When Carmen complains they don't have any new leads, Ingrid comes to show you a woman on TV about to commit suicide, claiming that Pietro's death has greatly affected her.
-->'''Ingrid:''' You needed a new lead, ask and you shall receive…
*BuffySpeak: When Lars deduces the killer didn't have much eumelanin judging by the DNA left in the branding iron, Carmen asks what is "you-mellow-what".
*CallBack: [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase03AufWiederSlain Brother Klaus]] reappears as a suspect, while [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase04MurdersCheap Jacqueline Proust]] returns as a quasi-suspect instead.
*CardCarryingVillain: Carmen calls Brother Klaus a card-carrying Promethian, which are a villainous terrorist group.
*{{Cliffhanger}}: The case ends with The Bureau discovering the Promethians' master plan involving mass bombing, prompting them to fly to Spain per Jacqueline's advice since the leader and the detonator will be there.
*ContinuityNod: You discover Brother Klaus is at The Vatican after you find the same sunblock he used in [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase03AufWiederSlain Germany.]]
*DramaQueen: Fiora Tosca, as she faked a suicide attempt because she wanted people to pity her.
*DrivenToSuicide: Brother Klaus [[SelfImmolation sets himself on fire]] in his cell after he's arrested since his mission is now "complete."
*ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Carmen begins to recap how you've found a notebook with multiple European monuments marked and a prototype bomb in the Venice canal near a bridge where an anti-referendum would be taking place, she slowly realizes this means the Promethians are planning a mass bombing to scare people so they vote "Yes".
*FakeDefector: When you find Brother Klaus, he claims he has turned away from the Promethians thanks to Father Pietro's faith, which turns out to be false when he's found guilty of his murder in the name of the Promethians.
*FalselyReformedVillain: Klaus tells you he has become a good man thanks to the Church (though you still put him under arrest for being an accomplice in [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase03AufWiederSlain Hans' murder]]), which is a lie.
*GoodShepherd: Father Pietro might be one of the franchise's purest victims, with the only people badmouthing him being either his evil Promethian killer or [[TheRival his rival]] for the Pope role. Unfortunately, this led to his death, as the Promethians didn't want such a good man to be the Pope.
*GratuitousItalian: Since most of your suspects are Italian, this was to be expected.
*GutFeeling: Jacqueline tries to pass off the fact that she knows Brother Klaus was arrested as this, but Carmen tells her to cut the crap off, so she reveals she's an undercover Promethian.
*HighPriest: The case deals with the current Pope on his deathbed and the most likely person to succeed him being murdered, which The Bureau (correctly) assumes has to do with the Promethians.
*HollywoodNuns: Sister Beppa, a nun who ran a radio show with Father Pietro.
*nterruptedSuicide: You stop Fiora before she can jump off to the Venice canal.
*IntrepidReporter: Carmen recalls how she was chasing an story involving stolen art the last time she visited Vatican City.
*MarkOfShame: The victim was killed by being branded with a Promethian's symbol, which made him suffer a heart attack.
*TheMole: Jacqueline reveals to you she's a Promethian, intending to learn about and bring them down from the inside if possible, something Carmen finds hard to believe but Chief Ripley judges she's the best lead they've got.
*MonumentalDamage: The Promethians' master plan is mass bombing various monuments across Europe (such as the Eiffel Tower or the Tower of Pisa) so people will panic and vote "Yes" in the Referendum for an UnitedEurope, since Carmen deduces people seek unity in times of chaos.
*ObfuscatingInsanity: {{Subverted}}. Carmen believes Brother Klaus is faking his insanity to avoid being interrogated, but in the end it turns out to be entirely genuine when he commits suicide by SelfImmolation.
*OhNoNotAgain: When Sister Beppa chains herself at the bridge (which happens after you prevent Fiora from jumping off it), Carmen asks what's with Italian women performing dramatic scenes at bridges.
*IOweYouMyLife: Fiora Tosca, Italy's most beloved opera singer, used to be a street urchin before Father Pietro took her and her family under his wing. For this reason, Fiora attempts to commit suicide when she hears about his death... [[SubvertedTrope or she'd want us to believe that.]]
*ProtestByObstruction: Sister Beppa chains herself to a bridge in Venice to protest against the pro-referendum party, claiming they're the ones who killed Father Pietro.
*RagsToRiches: {{Subverted}}. When you first meet Fiora, she says she used to be an street urchin who was rescued by Father Pietro, but we later learn she's just lying to gain sympathy.
-->'''Fiora:''' Nothing sells like a rags to riches story… I needed a competitive edge in the opera world… So I made up the story about the begging…
*RetiredOutlaw: Alonzo Conte, the gondolier you meet, is actually a retired mobster named Gianni Bonfiglio who [[StartingANewLife started a new life]], with only [[SecretKeeper Father Pietro]] knowing about it and insisting he should turn himself in.
*TheRival: Father Pietro and Cardinal Salieri were rivals due to both of them being possible candidates for the role of new Pope, which makes Salieri a strong suspect.
*SelfImmolation: How Brother Klaus kills himself in his prison cell.
*ShoutOut:
** Fiora Tosca resembles Music/{{Adele}}, and her surname comes from ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}''.
** In the Church Altar scene, there is a picture of the Virgin Mary and statues of various [[UsefulNotes/ThePope Popes]].
** In the Altar Steps scene, the Pope's hat is seen.
** In the Venice Canal scene, there is a [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker card]].
** In the Gondolas scene, there is a can of Campbell's soup.
** One of the killer's traits is knowing Dante's ''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Inferno]]''.
** Chapter 3's cover image is a detail from ''[[Art/SistineChapel The Creation of Adam]]''.
*SinisterMinister: Cardinal Salieri, whilst not explicitly evil, is still a shady, Pro-Referendum individual with a very apparent case of [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]]. Brother Klaus even calls him "a friend" when he gets arrested and thinks he would be the best one suited for the Pope role.
*SomedayThisWillComeInHandy: When Angela gives you some trivia about branding irons needing be at least 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit to create instant third-degree burns in human skin, Carmen sarcastically responds she'll try to note that someday. Then later when you find a butane torch in the crime scene, Carmen wonders if it was the one used by the killer to "[[BrickJoke bring the brand up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit]]".
*SpaghettiAndGondolas: Some crime scenes have platters of spaghetti and slices of pizza as clues, you visit Venice during the investigation, and even have a gondolier as a suspect.
*SpitefulSpit: The killer spat on Pietro's body after killing him, which allows you to find some samples of their saliva to provide you a clue.
*TalkingDownTheSuicidal: Carmen manages to convince Fiora Tosca to not jump off a bridge in Venice, saying it wouldn't be what Father Pietro wanted for her. Later {{Subverted}} as we learn Fiora never intended to commit suicide.
*TurbulentPriest: Father Pietro was strongly against the UnitedEurope referendum, since a fully united Europe means too much power in one place and that makes the poor poorer. For this reason, Brother Klaus kills him.
*YouAreTooLate: By the time you encounter Father Pietro, he's been already murdered.
