The Terror was secretly planned by [[François-Thomas Germain]], [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] of the [[Parisian Rite of the Templar Order\|French Templars]] and [[Sage]], as the final phase of the "[[New World Order\|Great Work]]". Germain and his radical faction within the Order sought to turn the revolution as chaotic and violent as possible; doing so would crush the old social order and lead to a [[Capitalism\|capitalist]] society in which the Templars could control the populace in far greater secrecy. The people would also fear the concept of revolution, as the Terror made an anarchic revolutionary society appear violent and brutal.
