We do this together or not at all.

It has been proposed that this page be merged with Grand Master, under the article: Grand Master. Discussion to this effect can be held on the former article's talk page.

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.
This article is about the Templar rank. You may be looking for the equivalent rank in the Assassin Brotherhood.

The position of Templar leader was given to any member of the Templar Order who had leadership over a Templar branch of the order.[1]

Although the leader of a Templar Rite typically held the rank of Grand Master,[1] there have been known instances where the leader instead only held the rank of Master Templar,[2][3] usually because they operated on behalf of another Rite's Grand Master.[2][4]

By the 21st century, the Grand Masters no longer held the highest rank among the Templar Order. They were instead answerable to the Guardians, who in turn answered to the General of the Cross.[5]
