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.

The Canadian Rite of the Templar Order were a group of like-minded individuals who swore allegiance to the Templar ideals, and operated throughout Canada during the early 19th century.

History

Imprisoning Ludger Duvernay

During the early 19th century, the Templars had integrated themselves into the Château Clique, a group of wealthy families in Lower Canada, and attempted to eradicate French culture. At the time, they were the leading faction of the Templar Order.[1]

In 1832, the journalist and secret Canadian Assassin Ludger Duvernay, financed by the Assassins, posted several articles accusing the Canadian administration of serving the Château Clique, hoping to expose the government's connections to the Templars.[1]

A few weeks later, the Clique had Duvernay arrested and imprisoned on charges of spreading false information, and even rallied the public against him. However, the Assassins quickly freed Duvernay from jail. After his release, Duvernay founded the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society, hoping to spiritually unify Quebec and gain independence from Canada.[1]

On 24 June 1834, the Templars sent an agent to Duvernay's soirée. The Templar agent infiltrated the party posing as a violist and subsequently killed one of Duvernay's allies, only to be knocked out by Larose, one of Duvernay's associates.[2]

Modern times

In 2010, Abstergo Industries, the primary public front of the modern-day Templar Order, founded a subsidiary company, Abstergo Entertainment, in Montreal, which was tasked with producing multimedia consumer goods. Through its initial basis, it enabled the company to influence the general public through pre-packaged genetic memories and wide, social gaming constructs.[3]

On 12 September 2012, Daniel Cross lead a team of Templar agents during the attack of an Assassin cell in Whistler. At the same time as the Assassin Janice requested reinforcements from Gavin Banks, the Templars lunched their attack on the Assassins' hideout, killing an Assassin outside the safehouse. However, Janice was killed when she headed to investigate after having heard a scream. Despite this, at least one of the Assassins survived.[4]
