History[]
Templars is a special unit of the black sub-division that originally created to upheld their ideologic ulterior purposes for their religion dogmatism from the darkness in charged with the active pursuit and extermination of all things vile and unholy and they answered directly to the Church. As a top-secret section of the Church's institutions, they officially doesn't exist.
True to their name, they 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 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 dark branch's underground sub-organization, even within the Knight Order.
Although having a very important task for the Church in carrying out their actions against the possessed, 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 long standing 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 have created suicide pills, which is a potent poison that uses magic as a trigger. Triggering it requires use of refined magic and hence the pill has been used as a ritualistic poison to bestow death for acts of heresy recognized by the Church.
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 bishops 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 due to their fanatical nature which assembled under the Church's banner. 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".

- Both the story and the other things that are known about the organization of the Templars are constructions of the Game as such, since they have only been mentioned, in the Light Novel, Web Novel, while the Manga and anime, not yet.
- 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.[1]
- 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.[CITATION NEEDED]
- 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.
- 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.[CITATION NEEDED]
