He steadily worked on bringing together science and religion people of both backgrounds despise each other. He was working on the antimatter, when the Hassassin tortured, branded and killed him.
She helped to create antimatter with Leonardo, utilizing her background in biology and physics. Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca: The "Camerlengo", papal chamberlain or assistant during the election for the next Pope. Upon reading, one learns the Camerlengo is the killer of the pope who turns out to be his biological father.
He also created the Illuminati ruse, calling himself "Janus" to the Hassassin. In the Sistine Chapel, the devastated Camerlengo tried to explain his actions to Langdon, Vittoria and the College; he only wished to make people believe again, but did so through an act of terrorism.
He wanted to use the Illuminati situation to frighten the people of the world, then pretend that God had manipulated the scene to save the Vatican. Cardinal Mortati steps forward and reveals the final twist unbeknownst to even the Camerlengo. When the recently deceased Pope had been a candidate in the College of Cardinals years ago, Mortati had been the Devil's Advocate: the man who is tasked with checking each candidate's background to make sure they are eligible.
While he was checking the man who would become the Pope, he discovered that he was in love with a young nun named Maria. The Pope and Maria were desperate to be parents, but they did not wish to break their vows via sexual intercourse.
However, this was when artificial insemination had just been invented, which Maria read about. The two saw it as a miracle, and used it to have a child: Carlo Ventresca. When Carlo was very young, the Pope's duty to the Church called him away, and Maria was left to mother Carlo by herself.
Leaving his child was a hard task for the Pope, which he later called his one regret. After the explosion which had killed Maria, the Pope feared that Carlo had also been killed. When he learned that he was alive and well, he was overjoyed and adopted him from the army.
Upon hearing this news, the Camerlengo falls silent. Vittoria wishes to reveal this to the public, but Mortati urges her not to; Carlo's views were acceptable, only his actions were not - if the people heard that the Camerlengo was really behind the attacks, they would possibly never believe in anything holy again.
When they turn around, however, Carlo has fled. In an immense surge of guilt and grief from causing the deaths of so many, let alone his own father, Carlo heads into the Basilica and takes an oil lamp from the Niche of the Palliums. He stands on the balcony over St Peter's Square - and as the public calls out to him, he immolates himself with oil from the lamp in front of the massive crowd.
Mortati comes in later and collects his ashes. Mortati has just been elected as the new Pope, but it turns out that the Camerlengo had actually been elected first via a method known as 'election by adoration'. This occurred with Carlo when everybody was calling out to him after his landing on the Basilica.
Mortati places Carlo's ashes in a golden urn and places it in the late Pope's sarcophagus, stating that: "There is no love greater than that of a father for his son". The Dan Brown Wiki Explore.
