Origin
After Christian fighters captured Jerusalem during the First Crusade, groups of pilgrims from across Western Europe began visiting the Holy Land. Many were killed while crossing through Muslim-controlled territory during their journey. Around 1118, a French knight named Hugues de Payens founded a military order along with eight relatives and acquaintances, calling it the Poor Knights of the Temple of King Solomon (later known as the Knights Templar). With the support of Baldwin II, the king of Jerusalem, they set up headquarters on the sacred Temple Mount and pledged to protect Christian visitors to the city.

After facing initial criticism by religious leaders, in 1129 the knights received the formal endorsement of the Catholic Church and support from Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent abbot. New recruits and lavish donations began pouring in from across Europe. ( Templars themselves took vows of poverty, the order could accrue wealth and land.) It was also around this time that the knights adopted an austere code of conduct and their signature style of dress: white habits emblazoned with a red cross.

The Templar Race
The Templar's were ones of great courage and strength, thus leading to their Knights to become very powerful warriors. Never allowed to surrender and were above all laws in their time they were very robust in their actions. Strategic thinkers and zealous fighters they were led to battles always being won. Discipline was also no joke to them and they took it very seriously.

Back-Story
I am a Templar knight who was on the verge of defeat in the Crusades. As we reached the near inch of victory I fell through the ground into a deep cave system. It was cold.. The further i traveled in pitch darkness i could feel myself getting colder within. After a day of being lost I fell and had no memory after. Centuries have passed as I have been found by explorers frozen in a deep lake. Now I have a new journey to begin to fulfill my last..
