I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Portuguese Rite of the Templar Order is the branch of the Templar Order operating in Portugal.
History
Renaissance
In the early 16th century, emboldened by Portuguese colonization efforts, the Templars started sending "missionaries" as far east as India, paying for the expeditions by diverting money sent by King Manuel I. The Templar sea captain Francisco was placed in charge of the Templars' proselytizing in Portugal's colonies. However, he was eliminated by the Assassins in 1511, who boarded one of his ships in Lisbon and killed him at sea.[1]
That same year, the Templars payed large sums of money to explorers for information of their discoveries. However, the Assassins, although lacking the Templars' wealth, used other means of acquiring the same information.[1]
Circa 1560,[2] the Inner Sanctum tasked the Portuguese Templar Nuno Caro with traveling to Japan in search of Pieces of Eden. Accompanied by Duarte de Melo, Caro worked to establish a foothold for the Templars in the country and learned about the Imperial Regalia of Japan. Despite the artifacts holding no advanced abilities, Caro believed that their religious and cultural significance would allow the Order to rule over the people of Japan and endeavored to retrieve them, while lying to the Inner Sanctum about the regalia's true nature so that they could continue to fund his mission.[3]
Caro formed an alliance with the Shinbakufu, a secret organization founded by the deposed shōgun Ashikaga Yoshiaki, promising him the Templars' support to regain his throne in exchange for the Imperial Regalia.[4] He also influenced Akechi Mitsuhide to betray his lord, Oda Nobunaga, whose ambitions to unify Japan threatened to undermine the Templars' plans, and recruited the daimyō Kimura Kei and Mitsuhide's daughter Hosokawa Tama into the Order.[5][6] By 1582, thanks to Caro's efforts, the Templars had successfully established a fledgling rite in Japan, with Caro at its head.[7]
However, the rite's operations were eventually sabotaged by the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke, the latter of whom sought revenge against the Templars for murdering his mother when they suspected her of being an Assassin spy.[8] Tracking down Caro and his subordinates, Yasuke eliminated Duarte de Melo,[9] Kimura Kei,[5] and Caro himself,[8] and helped Hosokawa Tama escape from the Order's influence,[10] bringing a temporary end to the Templars' activities in Japan.[8]
Seven Years' War
Sometime before 1746, the Templar Duarte Jorge Correia Pinto started looking for an Isu site around Lisbon, under John Harrison's specific suggestion. By 1746, his research had been a failure, and he decided to go back to his commercial activities.[11]
