- "May the Father of Understanding guide us."
- ―A Templar blessing.[src]
The Father of Understanding was an entity to whom the Templars pledged allegiance, and asked for guidance.
In the Third Crusade, the Templars would usually sign his name before theirs in letters they wrote.[1] During the Renaissance, Templars would often ask him for guidance as a greeting, or at the end of a meeting. During Revolutionary America Templars would speak his name when inducting someone into the Templar order.
The use of the blessing continued into the early 21st Century, and Abstergo Industries CEO Alan Rikkin once e-mailed Warren Vidic, and placed the blessing at the end of his message.[1]
Trivia
- Given the atheist beliefs of the Templars, it's likely that the Father of Understanding they refer to is Cain, the one who originally founded the Templar Order, and whose mark is the Templar Cross.
