The Knights Templar were a Christian military order that was founded during the aftermath of the First Crusade in 1096 to ensure the safety of European pilgrims to Jerusalem. The Order stayed active and gained a considerable amount on influence in Europe over the next two centuries, before being officially condemned by the Pope in 1307, with many of its members arrested, tortured and burned at the stake.

In Search of History The Knights Templar
In game the Knights Templar function as an independent faction, competing with The Inquisition. Its missions can be found in Santiago, Tortuga, and Port-de-Paix. Doing missions for the Knights will usually negatively affect your reputation with the Inquisition, but sinking Dread Saints Pirates ships on the open sea allow to increase reputation with both factions.
The exchange is represented by Brother Ohan in Santiago (pictured).
Missions can be obtained from Templar Agent and Mogens Brisebois in Tortuga, and Tomas Desoto in Port-de-Paix.
