The '''Templar ring''' was an adornment worn by members of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] since at least the 18th century, that signified the membership in the Order. Typically, the rings bore a simple design: a red {{Wiki|cross pattée}}.<br />

In 1712, the Templar [[Wilson]]'s ring left a cross-shaped scar on [[Edward Kenway]]'s face, after Wilson punched Edward during a fight. Edward later encountered another Templar ring, this time worn by [[Benjamin Pritchard]], when Pritchard was captured by the crew of the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[ships|ship]], the ''[[Emperor]]''. Edward's rival and fellow pirate [[Blaney]] stole the ring from Pritchard soon after.<ref>[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Black Flag'' novel]]</ref><br />

In 1715, the [[Grand Master]] of the Caribbean Templars, [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], gave three rings to the new recruits, [[Julien du Casse]], [[Woodes Rogers]], and [[Edward Kenway]] – the latter having impersonated the former [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Duncan Walpole]]. After Edward was revealed as an imposter his ring was taken back by Torres.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref><br />

During the [[French and Indian War]], the [[United Kingdom|British]] General [[Edward Braddock]] wore one of these rings to signify his membership in the Order. Braddock was killed by fellow Templar [[Haytham Kenway]] for his ruthlessness during the [[Braddock Expedition]] in 1754, following which Kenway took the ring from Braddock's body and awarded it to [[Charles Lee]] upon his [[Initiation into the Templar Order|induction into the Order]].<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref> Before his death, [[George Monro]] gave his Templar ring to [[Shay Cormac]], and Shay was later inducted into the [[Colonial Rite of the Templar Order]].<ref name="ACRG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref><br />

In 1776, a [[Royal Navy]] [[Man O' War captain|captain]], and member of the Templar Order, possessed a Templar ring until he was killed by the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].<ref name="AC3"/><br />

Towards the end of the 18th century, the wearing of Templar rings was discontinued by the [[Parisian Rite of the Templar Order]]. In their place, silver pins crafted by the Templar and [[Sages|Sage]] [[François-Thomas Germain]] became the main symbol of recognition for the Order.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref><br />
<br />
During the early 20th century, Templar rings were worn by the Secret Chiefs of the [[Hermeticists|Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], though the Hermeticists were not aware of the Templar Order's existence or its influence in their organization.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Divine Science: Chapter 4 - Frater V.O.V.]]</ref><br />

During the [[Christmas Truce]] of 1914, Albert enlisted the aid of an enemy medic to perform surgery on a German soldier. After the surgery, Albert noticed the medic's interest in his Templar ring, and offered to trade it with him until he noticed the medic's [[Assassins|Assassin]] burn mark around his finger, and was assassinated.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' - [[Holidays: Chapter 1 - Ghosts of Christmas Past]]</ref><br />
