Black Cross

Black Cross was a title 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 and ideals.

Secret inquisitors only answering to the Inner Sanctum's orders, the agents were authorized to use any means necessary, even deadly force, to take down corrupted members of the Order.

Known Black Crosses

Deadly enforcers acting as an independent morality police force of one man, very few individuals wore the title of Black Cross across the centuries.
