Templars

Templars (テンプラー) is the Church's secret transnational organization that has been formed by radical factions during their founding history with its principal mission is to strivenly proceed on their perfect vision that has imposed for their religion and indirectly preserved the world from any heretics against Goddess Beatrix.

Having operated in the shadows for thousands of years unnoticed by the public, the Templars had the responsibility of "Inquisition" rights and served as an execution department under the authority of the Church which filled with extremist members in their own philosophical methodology to kill those who had been recognized as heretics, especially those with Demon Possession symptoms.

Even in carrying out their actions against the possessed, the Templars have always clashed with the Cult of Diablos who have had a working relationship with the Church and have repeatedly fought against each other from behind the scenes to fight over the possession that their long conflict still continues until a new opposition emerged from hidden organization called Shadow Garden that shrouded in mystery, which has been labeled heretical by the Templars and currently have been still faced them for hindering their work by saving those who affected with the possessed.

Overview
The Templars are an secret assassination organization operating under the Church authority in charge of the Inquisition based out of Orum with their ongoing history and deeds to root out and punish heretics since ancient times. The Templars served as an de facto execution squad that kills anyone labeled a heretic, including to eliminated those with Demon Possession symptoms on the basis of purification in the name of Goddess Beatrix from the shadows.

The Templars are from the dark side of Church's history and that apparently, it is comprised of fierce soldiers who have been through training so harsh that their members were indoctrinated to be brainwashed with radical teachings. The Templars' method of silencing leaks was when any member who might be interrogated due to the situation of being caught would commit suicide, in order to prevent their information from being leaked by self-detonation when they were taking the suicide pills.

The Templars were formally led by the Saint, Victoria which secretly leading a murderous group working hidden in church dogma.

History
The Templars had the "Possession Inquisition Act" which describing about many Templars ways to execute the possessed symptoms when Templars are using the underground chamber at the Orum cathedral that is made for the Inquisition which are used to place a heretics brand on any subject with the Demon Possession. Templars' existence is so secret that they are cleverly hidden their presence from the public and there was no hint of information about this organization, even within the Knight Order.

Although having a very important task for the Church, the Templars have an internal conflict with the Cult of Diablos which is a heretical organization that has existed since before the Holy Church of Divine Teachings was founded intending to secure the possessed as their experimental material. Despite their respective resemblances on gathering the possessed symptoms, their dispute still continue to strive for throughout history with Templars always executing the possessed to avoid their use without even handing over to the Cult, which wants to secure it.

It seems the Church also kept all the detailed records of the Templars' activities showing the places, times and people involved in the Cult gathering up the possessed, even have future entries in their records. All of the records contain a schedule which indicates that the Templars are gathering Cult's intel to get to those possessed before the Cult does.

Moreover, the Templars has created a suicide pills which is a potent drug that uses magic as a trigger that takes time to refined it that which is used as a ritualistic poison to bestow death for acts of heresy recognize by the Church that only used by the royals, nobles, and those in high-ranking position that become a dark knowledge which have been passed down by the Church to eradicate any disgraceful impurities in the world.

Organization Strength and Influence
Templars boasted their superior on magic resistance and strong magical defense against physical attack due to their undergone advanced combat training with high intensity. Additionally, the Templars were very secretive on their methods of silencing any leaks of information about their whereabouts by killing themselves and eliminating everyone, including members from the Cult who might expose their organization.

However, the Templars are set under a different chain of command as they only answered to the Church. In fact, the Templars were an organization within the Church in charge of the Inquisition, which can be used against any nations government that it could make the whole world an enemy of the Church. In other words, the Church's right of Inquisition is represented as a huge power to keeps balance between the Templars and the Cult of Diablos.

Templars exercised the rights of Inquisition on a rotational basis for four years, with the archbishops of Orum serving as auditors. The reason was to prevent abuse of the Inquisition's rights by the bishops of each diocese and the monopoly over Inquisition rights by the Cult.

Membership
Templar membership is highly classified that no one in public society knows the whereabouts of its members. Members with extremist dogmas have been taught ideologic radical doctrines on the Church's propaganda to maintained lasting peace to the world in eradicating all filth by punishing heretics against the Goddess and executing the possessed accordingly under the pretext as "purification".

Trivia

 * According to Drake, the reason why the Cult of Diablos and the Church, which emerged from the Cult, supported each other is that the Church is in the position to exercise the right of Inquisition, not the Cult. In other words, what the Templars should protect more than their duty as inquisitors are their positions as guards.
 * Although the church and the Cult of Diablos seem like separate organizations, the truth is that the church, in technical terms, is part of the cult, since all its history, fame, faith and other things were devised and achieved at the level, by Cult help.
 * It seems that neither the church itself nor the Templars as such know the objective that the cult seeks as such, nor that the church itself as such was already taken over by the Cult from the beginning, and that the church as such, it's just another wearable puppet for them.
 * This is demonstrated, when the interim Archbishop Nelson, takes Drake place, as well as the new leader of the Templars for a while, without them knowing that he is one of the leaders of the Cult, before dying at the hands of Shadow.
 * It seems that the Templars, know as such, the true Objective, that the Cult of Diablos seeks, with the girls they have, "Demon Possession", except that they cannot allow themselves, that the Cult succeeds with its goals, or otherwise. that someone exposes the truth of everything.
 * As much the beliefs, as the own faith that they have on the people, and the supposed "goddess Beatrix", who blessed the three Heroes of the other world, according to the story, is a lie propagated and made, by the Cult of Devils, to avoid knowing the true evil and origin of everything that happened, more than 1000 years ago.
 * Although, although it is true that the Templars, together with the church as such, have already existed, before the creation as such of the Cult of Diablos, according to what is understood (up to the present date), both the Church and the Templars are part of the Cult, because it was thanks to the lies and manipulations that the cult did, worldwide, so that the belief, training, and management of the Templars and the Church could be fully created.
