The British Rite of the Templar Order was one of the autonomous factions comprising the Templar Order.
By the mid-18th century, under the leadership of Reginald Birch, it held a leading position among the various Templar Rites.[1] Birch became acquainted with the Assassin, Edward Kenway, in 1723. Knowing of Edward's research on First Civilization sites, Birch intended to steal the man's journal. Two years later, Birch orchestrated an attack on the Kenway household, hiring several mercenaries to kill Edward and obtain the journal.[2]
With the journal in his hand, Birch began scouring the globe, investigating several leads to the Precursor artifacts and sites. In 1738, Birch inducted Lawrence Washington into the Templar Order; Washington later rose in the ranks and became a Master Templar. Reginald tasked Washington with locating the precursor sites, but to no avail. Unimpressed with his progress, along with the newly established Colonial Brotherhood, Reginald sent another of his agents, Colonel George Monro, to further their efforts.[1]
In 1750, Monro recruited Christopher Gist, a frontiersman who was tasked with exploring the west colonies, as well as strengthening the Templars' relations with the indigenous tribes in order to secure alliances and commercial lanes. At some point, Gist encountered a young thief named Jack Weeks who attempted to pickpocket the explorer. Despite Weeks being caught in the act, Gist was impressed by his skill and audacious attitude, and took him on as an errand boy; Gist later began tutoring him upon the suggestion of Monro. A year later, Gist and Jack were inducted into the Templar Order.[1]
