- "The human body has its heart. The Earth has its core. All things have a center, whence comes their deepest strength. The Templar Order, too, has its Inner Sanctum. Nine there must be, three times three."
- ―Alan Rikkin during Simon Hathaway's induction, 2016.[src]
The Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order, also known as The Nine[1], is the council of the Order consisting of nine of the best and brightest members of the modern day Templar Order and collectively with the Council of Elders, Guardians and the General of the Cross are the central governance of the entire Templar Order over the Outer Temple, alongside holding the highest positions within Abstergo Industries and the Black Crosses as their enforcer in the Outer Temple.[2]
Structure
Authority
The decisions made by the council of the Inner Sanctum are reviewed by by the three Guardians that either approve or refuse further action by the he General of the Cross, being the highest-ranking individual within the hierarchy of the modern day Templar Order.[3] With only Guardians knowing the identity of the General.[2]
The Ritual Garbs
During Simon Hathaway's initiation into the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order, he noted that the ritual garb had been made by hand and not machines, ranging from the sheep being hand-sheared and the wool carded, spun and dyed by human labor. This showed the Templar's ritual garbs were much like those worn by Templars across the centuries, which Simon, as a historian, valued and admired due to the Templars putting in effort towards genuine authenticity.[4]

Behind the scenes
While the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order has only been used in modern day context, the number nine occurs multiple times throughout Templar history: the number of men that Bernard de Clairvaux sent to Solomon's Temple,[7] the number of Levantine Templars that Mentor Al Mualim tasked Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad to kill in his Hunt for the Nine,[8] and the number of agents that Jacques de Molay sent out to the world during the persecution of the Templars.[9] It is unknown if these other groups constituted as previous iterations of the Inner Sanctum.
