- "For centuries we have focused on the trappings of power: the titles of nobility, the offices of Church and State. Caught in the very lie we crafted to shepherd the masses... In the wake of revolution, the Order will adapt. They will retreat to the shadows and we will, at last, be the secret masters that we were meant to be."
- ―Germain to Élise de la Serre, regarding the Templars' agenda, 1794.[src]
The Parisian Rite of the Templar Order, sometimes known simply as the Paris Rite, was a collection of Templars that operated out of Paris and Versailles during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
The Rite was centered in Paris and notably managed to maintain a tenuous and short-term truce with their Assassin counterparts - negotiated between the then-Grand Master François de la Serre and the Assassin Mentor, Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau - though this concept was unpopular among the members of both factions.
Following a bloody coup d'état within the Rite's ranks, leadership was handed to François-Thomas Germain, who set the faction on a course that would see to the creation of the French Revolution, with an aim to ultimately avenge the death of Jacques de Molay.
During the Revolution, the Rite's key members were gradually eliminated by the Assassin Arno Dorian, who sought to avenge the death of his adoptive father - François de la Serre.
