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]."
Yes, in fact there was an 'assassyun's creed back then but it has ended whereas the knights templars still exists.
The Knights Templar really did exist, from 1119 to 1312. They did participate in battles, however, they were not assassins.
Assassinate all 9 of the templars then defeat your master Al Mualim.
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.
He isn't on any side (he kills british and american templars alike)
just follow the path with the templars and go forward till you have to chase his target.
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 (:
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.
For Assassins Creed 1 No, for Assassins Creed 2 yes.
For one, it's Altair. When Masyaf was attacked and controlled by the Templars he was 24. Another person- In the rest of the game Altair is 25
If you mean the game, and if you mean the assassins, then it is Al Mualim (translated to "the teacher"). If you mean the templars, then it is Robert IV de Sable.
