The Codex Pater Intellectus (English: Codex of the Father of Understanding) was a codex written by the Knights Templar Grand Master and Sage Jacques de Molay which detailed his knowledge of the First Civilization as well as his personal thoughts regarding the Templars.
History
In 1307, during the attack of King Philip the Fair's forces on the Parisian Temple orchestrated by the Assassins, de Molay tasked his advisor with hiding the Codex and a Sword of Eden in the vault beneath the Temple. As the Templar entered the fortress, he witnessed the two artifacts being stolen by Master Assassin Thomas de Carneillon and gave chase. After a brief confrontation, the advisor used the Sword's power against the Assassin and recovered the book, placing both in the vault as instructed. However, he was grievously disabled by de Carneillon while leaving the vault.[1]
Four centuries later, the silversmith Sage François-Thomas Germain discovered the vault and the relics hidden within, guided by his visions of the First Civilization. Having read de Molay's codex, he felt a connection with the former Grand Master and decided to reform the Templar Order with de Molay's vision in mind.[2] However, his extremist views were met with skepticism by his fellow Templars, resulting in his exile at the hand of Grand Master François de la Serre. [citation needed] Despite his exile, Germain managed to gather like-minded individuals to his cause, [citation needed] orchestrating de la Serre's assassination[3] and ultimately the French Revolution in order to strip France's nobility of their power and give it to the growing middle-class as part of the Templars' wider plan to more easily control humanity.[2]
