Albert Bolden
The "Black Cross" was a Templar agent, active in Shanghai during the early 20th century, when China was marked by a growing conflict between the Chinese Communist Party and the government of the Nationalists, culminating with the Shanghai massacre of 1927.
The man known as Black Cross in 1927 was not the first Templar to carry the title, which was bestowed upon the members of a branch within the Templar Order tasked with keeping the Grand Masters of the various Rites in line with the Templar Code. Deadly enforcers acting as an independent morality police force of one man, very few individuals bore the title of Black Cross across the centuries.
The agent was known for his signature weapon, which was a bladed pin shaped as a black Templar cross.
