The '''Caribbean Templars''' were a loose collection of like-minded individuals who swore fealty to the [[Templars|Templar]] ideals, and operated in the [[Caribbean|area]] during the [[Golden Age of Piracy|early 18th century]].

While not strictly speaking a Rite of the Templar Order, the Caribbean Templars were led by [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the two-time governor of [[Havana]], [[Cuba]].

==History==
In 1715 the Order inducted [[Woodes Rogers]], [[Julien du Casse]] and [[Edward Kenway]] - operating under the guise of [[Duncan Walpole]], an [[Assassins|Assassin]] turncoat - into their ranks and, using the information unwittingly sold to them by Edward, began to strike hard at their [[Caribbean Assassins|Assassin counterparts]], led by [[Ah Tabai]].

Shortly after his induction, Du Casse was killed by Kenway, who had previously been exposed as a fraud and was believed dead following the loss of the [[Spanish Treasure Fleet]].As well as this Edward killed Templars [[Kenneth Abraham]], [[Lucia Márquez]], [[Hilary Flint]] and [[Jing Lang]] sent by Torres to kill the leaders of the Assassin Bureaus across the West Indies. Despite these setbacks however, the Templars continued to grow in power.

Making full use of both the [[Spanish Navy|Spanish]] and [[Royal Navy]], the Templars would strike the Assassins based in [[Tulum]], and elsewhere, whenever they could. Eventually the Assassins, working in partnership with an expiate Edward, who would go on to become a member of their Order, managed to turn the tides. After Laureano de Torres was killed in 1722, and Rogers forced to return to [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]], in great debt and weakened in the eyes of his King {{Wiki|George I of Great Britain}}, the group, who had lost most of its members, lost power in the Caribbean.

'''El Tiburón''' (English: ''The Shark''; unknown – 1722) was the right-hand man of [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the [[Grand Master]] of the [[Caribbean]] [[Templars]]. [[Edward Kenway]] first encountered him during an execution in [[Havana]], and later during Edward's meeting with the Templars at the governor's mansion. El Tiburón was also present during the interrogation and escort of the [[Sages|Sage]], [[Bartholomew Roberts]], and subsequently defended the Templars from the [[Assassins]] who attempted to free Roberts. El Tiburón incapacitated Edward during his attempt to rescue the Sage from the prison in Havana.

Years later, after the assassination attempt on [[Woodes Rogers]] and the death of Bartholomew Roberts, El Tiburón was guarding a body double of Torres, in an attempt to delay Kenway from pursuing the governor to the [[Observatory]]. As Edward assassinated the impostor, El Tiburón engaged him in combat, but was eventually killed by Kenway, who used his pistols to penetrate his armor. After this Edward assassinated the real Torres in the bowels of the Observatory.

==Trivia==
*Despite his death occurring in 1722, the date is never present in his database entry.
