Villain Overview

A universal, divine order. Inspired by God for the betterment of man.
~ King Alfred of Wessex, the original founder of the Templar Order.

The Templar Order, also known as the Order of the Knights Templar are the main antagonists of the Assassin's Creed franchise and minor antagonists in the Watch Dogs franchise.

Some of their predecessors were the Children of Cain, Order of the Ancients, and the Cult of Kosmos. The modern-day version of the Templars operates using a front called Abstergo Industries, a megacorporation that has been responsible for the majority of human technological development for the past millennia.

The Templars were originally founded by King Aelfred of Wessex as a secluded resistance group who sought to eradicate the blasphemous Order of the Ancients and even fed information to the Hidden Ones in England to succeed in their plans. Their ultimate goal is the creation a perfect world, although the means by which they aim to do so, through force, control and the destruction of free will, directly contrast the ideals of their sworn enemies, the Assassin Brotherhood. Because of this difference in ideology, the Templars became involved in a covert war against the Assassins, spanning millennia, with their opposition's motivating belief being that mankind should always have the ability to choose; to have the freedom of liberty, even if it meant accepting that humanity would always be flawed in their ways.

Templar Ideology[]

Quest for Peace[]

The Templars seek the Pieces of Eden in order to create a world where humanity has transcendent from their animalistic instincts. They believe through this they will unite the world in peace under the Templar banner.

At times the Assassins have worked together with the Templars so as to attain a common goal, peace. Prior to the French Revolution, the French Templar's Grandmaster François de la Serre and the French Assassin's Mentor Honoré Mirabeau, struck a deal to make the two Orders work together using the elements of freedom and order so as to reach a common goal, peace for the people of France.

Religious Beliefs[]

Conquest. They seek the Holy Land not in the name of God, but for themselves.
~ Al Mualim

Prior to the discovery of the Pieces of Eden, they held strict Christian universalist beliefs which were imposed by their founder King Alfred. After their discovery of the Pieces of Eden, the Templars became strictly deistic and it is seen that they still believed in being rewarded in the afterlife.

This was seen when Maximilien de Robespierre tried to establish a deist religion, the Cult of the Supreme Being, which was entirely based on the Templar Doctrine. During the destruction of the Templars, Jacques de Molay, cursed King Phillip and Pope Clement V that they will answer for their crimes before God almighty. Even David Brewster believed that the Pieces came from God himself.

A Pre-historic Templar, Lucius Septimius stated that he knows he will be rewarded in the afterlife for serving the Father of Understanding.

The Father of Understanding[]
May the Father of Understanding Guide Us.
~ The Templar Order's blessing.

The Father of Understanding is a being who is not only the God of the Templars, but is also a key symbol in the logic and reasoning used by the Templars to justify their actions and mission, which is to create an enlightened utopia where the progress of humanity was closely supervised by them. The term, "May the Father of Understanding guide us." has also become a ritualistic blessing among Templars and also as a form of greeting when they meet with each other.

Benevolence[]

The Templar Doctrine commands Templars to be benevolent towards the people they will govern. There are a number of Templars who are truly more benevolent than the Assassins themselves. Colonial Templar George Monro say himself and his fellow Templars as protectors and providers form humanity, making Shay Cormac and his fellow Templars follow his methods. Even Haytham Kenway and Prince Ahmet believed in the True Templar Ideology and viewed it as a necessary to remove the chaotic elements of humanity.

Templars also held an immense disgust for slavery that one member, Woodes Rogers was forced out of the Order due to him practicing slavery. The Jamaican Templar Grandmaster Laureano de Torres y Ayala even stated his disgust for enslaving people, but also claimed that men of ability should rule.

Modern day Templar Master Juhani Otso Berg took these benevolent Templars as an inspiration of what a Templar should really be and what their goals should really be.

Radicalism and Corruption[]

Because of the Order's nature, they are highly vulnerable to corruption and fanaticism. The Borgias were well known examples of Templar Leaders who used the Order to further their own tyrannical goals. Modern Templars call the Rule of the Borgias as the Dark Age of the Order and this may have led to the creation of the Black Cross which kills off Tyrannical members of the Templar Order. However, some like Thomas Hickey work with the Order in order to earn money to live a luxurious life.

They are also Fanatics like François-Thomas Germain, a Sage and Templar Grandmaster who reverted to the radical Templar Ideology of Control, though this is most likely inspired by him being a reincarnation of Aita, an Isu entity who holds strong misanthropic world views and wishes to regain control humanity.

Classical Realism[]

Even when your kind appears to triumph ... Still we rise again. And do you know why? It is because the Order is born of a realization. We require no creed. No indoctrination by desperate old men. All we need is that the world be as it is. And THIS is why the Templars will never be destroyed.
~ Haytham Kenway, on the classical realistic views of the Templars.

The Templars originally held a more positive outlook on mankind, with their founder King Alfred believing that under the secluded rule of the "Poor-Fellow Soldiers of Christ", mankind would genuinely prosper. With each passing generation, these views became more cynical and borderline misanthropic. The Templars hold the view that humanity is inherently selfish, hedonistic, untrustworthy, self-serving, self-destructive, war mongering and deceptive; they thus hold believe that these impulses cannot be overcome or disciplined, and the human race requires their secluded authoritarian rule in order to build a genuinely peaceful and healthy society.

History[]

Prehistoric Times[]

After Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, murdered his brother and stole the Apple of Eden, he gathered a group of followers called the Children of Cain to carry out his vision. The symbol of the Cult was the Mark of Cain, which would later become the insignia of the modern day Templar Order.

Classical Antiquity[]

The Cult of Kosmos was founded by Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae who commanded the united Greek armed forces during the Trojan War. He sought to implement peace for Greece under their control and acquire ancient artifacts from the First Civilization.

Pharaoh Smenkhkare founded the Order of the Ancients around 1334 BCE. Originally founded as The Order of the Ancients, they were a secret society who viewed it in their right to lead humanity into a progressive utopia under their close supervision, so as to transcend from our cruel and barbaric nature. Their leading members were mostly Roman generals and advisors. Their actions in ancient Ptolemaic Egypt unintentionally caused the birth of the Hidden Ones, a classical antiquity incarnation of their eternal enemies, the Assassin Brotherhood.

Reincarnation as the Templars[]

Prior to the Crusades, the Order of the Ancients were reborn as the Templar Order in the Early Middle Ages by Alfred the Great of Wessex (though before this, the Templars existed as a more loose, unofficial coalition). During the Crusades, the Templars were mostly active in the Holy Land. However, in 1307, the King of France, Phillip IV, accursed the Order of heresy, which supposedly ended the Order.

However, the Order was not defeated; they had just been driven into hiding. They continued to operate in secret through the Hundred Years' War and into the Renaissance. During the early 1500's, they managed to gain control of Italy when Rodrigo Borgia, then the Grand Master of the Order, was elected Pope. They managed to obtain two "Pieces of Eden" and locate "The Vault". However, Rodrigo's efforts were thwarted by the Assassin Ezio Auditore. Eventually, Rodrigo was killed and his son Cesare assumed leadership of the Order. Even then, the Assassin bested Cesare's forces, and the Borgia's control over Italy eventually broke. For the rest of the 15th century the Templar Order went into decline. Not much is known of their activities until the 19th century.

By the 20th century, the Templars had established a major foothold in the American industry, with important figures such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone being Templars themselves. In 1937, the Templars founded Abstergo Industries, a secret company aiming to control capitalists and workers and neutralize communism. The Templars, who had previously created the capitalistic economic system, hoped to control the people through owning capitalistic companies, as opposed to having people own the companies. The company would go on to control a lot of corporations and organizations, including the Ford Motor Company, NASA, the CIA and BP. In the late 1930s, Adolf Hitler, a Templar, began to take over political control over Germany.

After having assumed full control, Hitler used an Apple of Eden to form Nazi Germany and hypnotize the population to join his cause. With this newfound support, Hitler began to declare "war" on Germany's neighboring countries, quickly conquering them. A worldwide war - World War II - soon erupted, but the entire war was a Templar plot to keep the people under the Order's control. While the entire war was overseen by the Templars, the world was split between two forces. On one side of the war stood the Axis, primarily led by Hitler and Benito Mussolini. On the other side stood the Allied forces, led by the Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin; the Big Three. By the time the war concluded, the Templars planned to take advantage of the resulting peace.

Trivia[]

  • Rebecca Crane noted that both the Assassins and the Templars had existed since before the formation of the Hashshashin and Order of the Knights Templar respectively, and queried what the two organizations called themselves beforehand.
  • In real history, the demonym "Templar" was derived from the order's official name Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, with the Temple of Solomon referring to their base, the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
  • Historically, after the fall of Acre at 1291, the Templars became bankers rather than actual knights. In fact, it was their banking business that led King Philip IV of France to force Clement V to disband the order and take its wealth for the failing economy of Philip's Kingdom.
