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]].<br />
<br />
While not strictly speaking a Rite of the Templar Order, the Caribbean Templars were nonetheless an organized and effective force, led by [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the two-time governor of [[Havana]], [[Cuba]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
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 Templar agents [[Kenneth Abraham]], [[Lucia Márquez]], [[Hilary Flint]] and [[Jing Lang]], who had been 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
