The Caribbean Templars were a loose collection of like-minded individuals who swore fealty to the Templar ideals, and operated in the area during the early 18th century.
While not strictly speaking a Rite of the Templar Order, the Caribbean Templars were led by Laureano de Torres y Ayala, the two-time governor of Havana, Cuba.
History
In 1715 the Order inducted Woodes Rogers, Julien du Casse and Edward Kenway - operating under the guise of Duncan Walpole, an Assassin turncoat - into their ranks and, using the information unwittingly sold to them by Edward, begun to strike hard at their Assassin counterparts, led by Ah Tabai.
Shortly after his induction, Du Casse was killed by Kenway, who had previously been exposed as a fraud and was believed dead following the loss of the Spanish Treasure Fleet. Despite this setback however, the Templars continued to grow in power.
Making full use of both the Spanish and Royal Navy, the Templars would strike the Assassins based in Tulum, and elsewhere, whenever they could. Eventually the Assassins, working in partnership with an expiate Edward Kenway, who would go on to become a member of their Order, emerged victorious over the Templars in the Caribbean, killing Laureano de Torres, in 1722, and forcing Rogers to return to Great Britain, in great debt and weakened in the eyes of his King George I of Great Britain.
