Yes it is because it was in the crusades the rennisance and even u may ask how i know this is because im an assassin
The Assassins were brave fighters, but they feared the reputation of the Knights Templar. The Assassins gave much money to the Templars in return of safety. In the battle at Sakira, when 5000 Saracens were attacking 400 Assassins, the last ones got saved by 100 Knights Templar. Some legends even tell that Assassins and Templars were friends and the Assassins were Christian.
Templars are soldiers from the crusades yes. they were in assassins creed because they want power that only the assassin's know about like the "apple of eden"
"May the Father of Understanding Guide [you]."
The Knights Templar really did exist, from 1119 to 1312. They did participate in battles, however, they were not assassins.
By characters, you probably mean templars. Templars are the assassins that Desmond sees in Ezios memory. You will get an assassination contract to assassinate the templar. You can also play as several Templars in the multiplayer of Brotherhood.
Assassinate all 9 of the templars then defeat your master Al Mualim.
Assassins Creed was based on true events. Templars were real, and there were a group of assassins called the Hashshashin. But if those two did actually have conflict between them, im not sure. Although I do wish it was real, because it is such an amazing storyline. -Vikki Stephan (:
There most likely were, but Assassin is a loose term. Anyone hired to kill someone else can be considered an Assassin.
Well... No one knows really, but some say the war between assassins and Templar's did not exist, but to ALL who wonders this, the war is just about different religious beliefs, Templar's, who think everyone should be Christian by force, are one side, The Assassins, who think everyone has a choice in religion (But wants people to revert by peace and choice into Christianity) are on the other. The war ended centuries ago when the Templar order fell against the Muslims... Now many people are wondering which side they should choose, and what side there ancesters where on...so practiclly No
The Templars are the opposition to the Assassins. They seek freedom through power and tyranny and will kill the innocent to achieve it. Unlike the Assassins, where they seek freedom through the belief of equality of men. The weapon they choose to use is a Piece of Eden created by the First Civilization that can control the minds of others. However, they cannot seem to find any.
In the Assassin's Creed series, killing all the Templars can lead to a temporary disruption of their influence and plans, often resulting in a power vacuum. However, it typically doesn't eliminate the Templar Order entirely, as they often have deep-rooted connections and resources that allow them to regroup. The player may also experience narrative consequences, such as changes in the game's world or the protagonist's journey, but the overarching conflict between Assassins and Templars persists. Ultimately, the cycle of conflict continues, reflecting the ongoing struggle between the two factions.
He isn't on any side (he kills british and american templars alike)
