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. A Black Cross' secondary mission was to track Pieces of Eden for the Inner Sanctum.
Deadly enforcers acting as an independent morality police force of one man, very few individuals wore the title of Black Cross across the centuries though the Bolden family line counted many among their number.
By 2013, there were no longer any known Black Crosses, with Albert Bolden, presumed dead in 1927, being the last. However, Juhani Otso Berg believed that due to the troubled times the Order was experiencing during his era, it would probably be useful to revive the feared branch and a Black Cross was once again active by 2017.[1][2]
