==Theories==
While many speculations and theories have been put forth regarding the identity who the ''Father of Understanding'' is, ranging from [[Cain]] to the "[[Those Who Came Before]]" aleatory of Satan, to the Templar's founder; it could also, likely be a reference to the actual trait of ''understanding'' and ''acceptance'', thus making the ''Father of Understanding'' a concept rather than any actual being (Such as Father Time and Mother Earth). In either case, it could simply represent the Templars' longing that their harsh means of attaining peace be understood as not as it appears, but as a necessary means of achieving a greatness beyond measure; ''"absolute peace"''.
