The Council of Elders is one of the guiding bodies of the Templar Order.[1] It operates as a separate entity from the order's governing structure to ensure and maintain the integrity of the Templar government itself by influencing and guiding of the governing structures, having a similar function as the Black Cross. It does not exert direct control over these structures, such as the Inner Sanctum.[2]
In the late 17th century, the Council tasked Laureano de Torres y Ayala with finding The Observatory in the West Indies.[3]
During the earliest years of the Black Cross, the Council may have had an significant impact on their assignments.[2]
In 2016, it is led by Ellen Kaye and possesses discretionary powers over the funding of Abstergo Industries and its various subsidiaries. The Council was present at a gathering in London during which Alan Rikkin was killed by the Assassins.[1]
Trivia
- The Council's members appears to have a higher rank than the Guardians, which are the three highest ranking members of Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order, as exemplified by Ellen Kaye giving orders to Alan Rikkin.[1] However, sources state that only the General of the Cross is above the Guardians in authority, with the Guardians reporting directly to the General.[4][5] At the moment, the Council of Elders' exact position and role in the Templar hierarchy remains unclear, save only that it is not ranked above the General of the Cross.[6]
- In Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the organization that tasked Laureano de Torres y Ayala was the "Counsel",[7] in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag novel was the Council of Elders.
