Templar leader

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.

A Templar leader is a member of the Templar Order who heads one of the organization's regional branches, also known as a Templar Rite.

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

By the 21st century, 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, the supreme head of the Order.
