The Mark of Cain

The Children of Cain was a name adopted by early Templars of antiquity who followed the teachings of Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, and believed the Mark of Cain to be the red cross pattée.[1]

Sometime after the Toba catastrophe and the Human-Isu War ended, Cain killed his brother Abel to acquire the Apple of Eden possessed previously by their parents. For his crime, Cain was branded with a red cross.[2] The Templars of olden days named this cross the Mark of Cain[1] and it became the emblem of the Templar Order.[2]
