'''Lieutenant''' is a leadership rank of mid authority that is Second-in-Command to the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Master]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], alongside [[Master Templar|Master Templars]] as [[Templar leader|Templar leaders]] of [[Templar Rite|Templar Rites]]. Its predecessor was Second-in-Command to the [[Grand Maegester of the Order of the Ancients|Grand Maegester]] of the [[Order of the Ancients|Ancients]], being one of five [[Maegester|Maegesters]].
Being part of a Rite leadership, their role under their Grand Master is to uphold the Templar principles while they assisted in leading the Rite to guide humanity for the betterment of society in their aim for [[New World Order|peace]].
The earliest known individual with the rank of Lieutenant was held by the [[Order of the Ancients|Ancients]] [[Fulke]] of the [[Wardens of Relics]] sect, under [[Grand Maegester of the Order of the Ancients|Grand Maegester]] [[Alfred the Great|Alfred]] of [[Wessex]] during the [[Viking expansion]] of [[England]].
The only known Templars that had the rank of Lieutenant was during the [[Age of Enlightenment]], as the [[Parisian Rite of the Templar Order|Parisian Rite]] had three different individuals that served as Lieutenant to the [[De la Serre family|House of Serre]], a Templar family who had held the rank of Grand Master for several decades.

===Rite Administration===
{{Dialogue|Julie de la Serre|I'm sorry if you don't feel our goals are aligned, Mrs. Carroll. My apologies if that makes me a somewhat unreliable confidante.|Mrs. Carroll|I see.

Being themselves a direct subordinate of a Grand Master, they could also be given other duties, such as organizing the training of the next Grand Master, the extent of that training would be sett by the Grand Master. For example, François de la Serre, who approved that Lieutenant [[Julie de la Serre]] and the [[British Rite of the Templar Order|British Templar]] [[Frederick Weatherall]] could conduct the training of swordsmanship to their daughter, [[Élise de la Serre]]. While François himself gave her the education of the Templars and their principles.<ref name="P27-59"/>

As Lieutenant, Germain used his craftsmanship as silversmith and made the [[Templar pin]] that replaced the [[Templar ring]] as the [[Templar's Badge of Office]], while it also functioned as a weapon.<ref name="Rank"/>
Lieutenant Germain being a [[Sage]], started getting visions of ''[[Isu|Great towers of gold, cities shining white as silver]],'' these lead him to discover the vault of [[Jacques de Molay]] in the [[Temple (Paris)|Temple]] in [[Paris]] and were he found the ''[[Codex Pater Intellectus]].'' Germain came to view the Order as corrupted by wealth and power, then attempted to convince Grand Master de la Serre of the same ideals and was exiled for not renouncing his views under an expulsion ceremony, his only defender was [[Advisor of the Templar Order|Advisor]] [[Marie Lévesque]].<ref name="Temple"/>
[[File:Elise sword training.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Julie watching her daughter's sword training]]
By 1774, wife and Templar [[Julie de la Serre]], had become the next Lieutenant of Grand Master de la Serre and secretly started the training of combat for [[Élise de la Serre]] and with the [[British Rite of the Templar Order|British Templar]] [[Frederick Weatherall]] as her teacher. The same year, the influential Carrol Family of the British Rite visited due to their concerns of François' plans for keeping [[France]] in order, having been tasked to entertain [[Mrs. Carroll]] and her daughter, [[May Carroll|May]]. Mrs. Carroll and Julie discussed change and loyalties, with Julie being clear that she had a moderate position between the talks of overthrowing or maintaining the [[Kingdom of France]], and wouldn't allow too much influence from his Advisors.<ref name="P27-59"/>
In 1776, Julie and Élise went shopping in Paris and was followed a [[Bernard Ruddock|stalker]] and became blocked on her way by a lamplighter, who doused the candle and reached for a dagger. Finding that their stalker was an [[Assassins|Assassin]], she cut him with her knife and killed the lamplighter with a [[Hidden Blade|footblade]]. The assassination attempt of Julie resulted in a meeting with with their Advisors, were both Julie and her Grand Master argued against it being Assassins. Unable to hide the [[Assassin-Templar War|Assassin-Templar war]] from Élise after the incident, Julie and François revealed her birthright to become Grand Master, her training with Weatherall became approved upon discovery and François began the eduction of the Templars and their principles. Soon after, Julie arranged a meeting with Weatherall, revealing to him that their stalker was a [[British Assassins|British Assassin]] through the doctor's bag. The same year, the de la Serres adopted [[Arno Dorian]] who became Élise's playmate. François and Julie discussed Arno's past and nature as an Assassin with Élise while disagreeing on indoctrination despite insistence by François. Julie managed to get it delayed and fell ill soon after their discussion, becoming confined to her room and died in 1778.<ref name="P27-59"/>

[[Jean Burnel]] was inducted into the Templars by the Advisor Weatherall, and became the Lieutenant of Élise in the fight to reclaim her birthright as Grand Master. Having summoned her allies for an ceremony to pledge allegiance, Burnel escorted Élise to the meeting place at their host, ally and Templar [[Marquis de Pimôdan]]. They soon discovered it as a trap to kill them by threatening Pimôdan, who also revealed their allies had either been systemically purged or turned by Germain and following their escape, Burnel was caught by catgut ligatures dropped by assassins.<ref name="P307-324">''Assassin's Creed: Unity (novel)'' - ''Élise's Journal'' - 5 October 1789</ref>
