Date reorganized. The Templar Order, also known as the Order of the Ancients during its early years, the Order of the Knights Templar, the Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon and the Order of Solomons Temple is a monastic military order turned corporate giant, which was formed during the prehistoric era. The Templars seek to create a perfect world, although their interpretation thereof directly contrasts with the ideals of their sworn enemies, the Assassin Brotherhood. Whereas the Assassins assert that utopia can someday be achieved through a gradual process of learning tolerance and mutual understanding, Templars classically insist that human nature is too prone to corruption for this to be a possibility. Key to their dream is the imposition of a New World Order, and they envision that true peace can only come when all of humanity is shepherded by an enlightened society of peoplein their eyes, them. Because of this conflict in ideology, the Templars became involved in a covert war against the Assassins, spanning millennia and continuing into the modern era. The Templars have also become enemies with the Instruments of the First Will, a cult who have sworn their lives to restore the Isus rule over humanity. Organization. Originally, the title of Grand Master officially denoted the head of the Templar Order. Indeed, during the Middle Ages when the orders existence was public knowledge, the Grand Master was projected as their sole supreme commander. However, as the organization spread across the globe, establishing branches in virtually every country, the title of Grand Master came to designate only the leader of regional factions called Rites. Beneath the Grand Master of each Rite are nine ranks, with immediate subordinates being the high ranking Master Templars. In order following the Masters are the Seneschals, Advisors, Commanders, Preceptors, Knights, Warriors, Clerics, and finally, the Disciples. These ranks parallel a similar system of hierarchy among their mortal adversaries, the Assassins. Inner Sanctum. To maintain cohesion of the Rites as components of a centralized entity, the Inner Sanctum was formed. Consisting of an elite group of nine Templars, the Inner Sanctum harbors direct knowledge of all of the orders plans and is the nucleus from which orders are relayed to the other Rites. Their number, nine, reflects a convention that dates back to at least the Third Crusade, when nine leading Templars coordinated closely to seek after the Apple of Eden in Solomons Temple. In modern times, since the foundation of Abstergo Industries as a public front for the order, the Inner Sanctum simultaneously serves as Abstergos Board of Directors. Outer Temple. The Inner Sanctum, in turn, is classified as one of two parts of the order, the other being the Outer Temple. Whereas the Inner Sanctum is privy to all the affairs of the order, being responsible for them, the Outer Temple comprises all other Templars, all of whom are kept in the dark of the full details and extent of the orders operations. Guardians and General of the Cross. Although the Inner Sanctum acts as the executive arm of the Templar Order, even they are not its paramount leaders, for they are ultimately subservient to the Guardians and the General of the Cross, the latter of whom is the true head of the Templar Order. Every major decision of the Inner Sanctum must be passed to the Guardians for review, who in turn relay them to the General of the Cross for the ultimate grant of approval. Accordingly, the General possesses the sole power to veto any significant action or plan the Inner Sanctum seeks to undertake. Under normal circumstances, even the Inner Sanctum does not know the identity of the General of the Cross, a secret so strictly guarded that only the Guardians are permitted knowledge of it. As a result, the Guardians are the bridge between the Inner Sanctum and the General of the Cross, the medium through which communication between the two exists. There are three Guardians, and as witnessed in the case of the Guardian Alan Rikkin who also served as Chief Executive Officer of Abstergo Industries and chairman of the Inner Sanctum, a Guardian may hold another office at the same time. Council of Elders. Apart from the Inner Sanctum and the Guardians, there exists a Council of Elders which wielded some authority over even the Guardian Alan Rikkin. Among the Councils functions is the power to dissolve Abstergo Foundation based on whether they believe the subsidiary is a worthy investment or a waste of resources. Black Cross. The Black Cross is a title bestowed upon the members of a branch within the Templar Order tasked with keeping the Grand Masters of the various Rites in line with the Templar Code and ideals. Secret inquisitors only answering to the Inner Sanctums orders, the agents were authorized to use any means necessary, even deadly force, to take down corrupted members of the Order. A Black Cross secondary mission was to track Pieces of Eden for the Inner Sanctum. Deadly enforcers acting as an independent morality police force of one man, very few individuals wore the title of Black Cross across the centuries though the Bolden family line counted many among their number. History. Prehistory. According to legend, the organization that would later be known as the Templar Order was founded by Cain, a son of Eve and Adam, who murdered his brother Abel for an Apple of Eden. Templars crest is rumored to have been the mark of Cain. Despite their aims being aligned, a conflict in ideology quickly led to the Templars becoming an archenemy of the Assassins, who, as opposed to the Templars, sought to allow the people to retain free will. Ancient world. Aiding the Achaemenid Empire. During the Achaemenid Dynasty of Iran, the Proto Templars aided King Darius I when he overthrew the usurper of the Empire and became the king of Persia. The Templars continued to aid his son, Xerxes I, during his invasions of Greece. Assisting Alexander the Great. The Proto Templars influence reached out to Macedonia, where they succeeded in allying themselves with Alexander the Great. As a symbol of their alliance, the Proto Templars entrusted Alexander with one of the Staves of Eden, which helped Alexander to create one of the largest empires in history and become one of the most successful military commanders. However, Proto Assassin interference resulted in Alexanders poisoning in 3. BCE, by the Babylonian Proto Assassin. Iltani. 3Qin Dynasty.

People often ask me about the whereabouts of the Holy Grail and have many different ideas about what the Holy Grail is be it an artefact or a cup or a bowl, he said. But the Holy Grail is the bloodline of Jesus Christ and carvings in Royston Cave show that the Knights Templar believed in this secret heresy and offered prayers to Jesuss offspring. Carvings on the cave wall depict two adult figures and a child which, according to Mr Houldcroft, most visitors assume to be Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Five years ago, I began to have suspicions about a carving depicting the holy family and after my suspicions were confirmed by other experts, I have kept it quite quiet until now, he said.

Needing to get the object out of the way in order to get decent footings for the bench, the workmen dug around the curious stone and, to their amazement, found beneath it a shaft leading downwards into the chalk. News of the discovery spread like wildfire around the small market town, and the curious had flocked to examine the mysterious hole, and have their two pennoth on its function. Soon, it was generally decided that there must be treasure buried beneath the soil inside the cave, and there was no shortage of volunteers ready to lend a hand digging for it. Working at night by lantern light, the diggers slaved away, passing up the soil in buckets to waiting carts. Eventually, several cartloads of soil were removed from the subterranean cavity and bedrock was reached. During an exceptionally hard winter, in 1.
