he Templars are a player and NPC faction for TSW revealed at the end of the Three Are Coming buildup. They are a faction of individuals who see themselves as the first and last line of defense against the evils in The Secret World, and will do whatever it takes to ensure that the world is rid of the evil that plagues it.
The Templars headquarters is located in London, where they have a huge presence in a grand mansion in plain view.
- Old Blood, new veins.
- Tradition and honour above all
- Righteous and Holy Crusaders
- They do not participate in the war on evil. They ARE the war on evil.
Despite the naming and symbolism which heavily references the Knight Templar, Funcom has stressed that this faction is purely fictional and the background of the faction begins during the time of Babylon, long before Christianity even existed. The Templars in-game won't be restricted to any religion or race.
The Dragon - It is unknown the relationship with the Dragon faction.
The Templars - The Illuminati were exiled from Eurpoe by the Templars centuries ago and have since become arch enemies of the Templars.
"Deliverance From Evil"
Crusaders. Judges. The Holy Terror. The Templars are the world's least secretive secret society. Their military-ideological machine has operated in plain sight since Babylon - a matter of pride, or moral superiority. Conspiracy theorists, obsessed with the minor 'Knights Templar' offshoot, underestimate the Templars' true European empire. Private armies. Members of parliaments. Royal families.
The Templars believe they will deliver the world from evil by force, and even their opponents - who call them zealots and warmongers - cannot deny that force. As an agent of the Templars you are not just fighting the war on darkness, you "are" the war on darkness. Suave and sophisticated, but brutal and uncompromising, you use history as a weapon to shape the future.
Few will stand in the way of the Templars' banner. Do you have the will to stand behind it?
