Knights Templar.
The Knights Templar emerged as a monastic military order formed at the
end of the First Crusade. Their mandate was to protect Christian pilgrims
on route to the Holy Land. It was the first time that a group of secular
knights banded together and taken the monastic vows being the first of
the Warrior Monks.
The Knights Templar fought along side Richard the Lion Hearted (King
Richard I) and other Crusaders in battles for the Holy Lands.
From their beginnings of poverty, when the order depended on alms from
the traveling pilgrims, the Order would have the backing of the Holy See
and the collective European monarchies.
It took them two centuries to become powerful enough to defy all but
the Papal throne. They were feared as warriors, respected for their charity
and sought out for their wealth.
They became very wealthy and surplus of materials. The Knights Templar
essentially invented banking as we know it. They changed the concept in
which loans were paid, and were able to finance even kings.
They are among the most knowledgeable men and use knowledge as a wheel
to move mountains. They know the answers to the questions all humans have:
Who am I? and, What are we doing in this world?
