Children of Cain
The Children of Cain was a name adopted by early Templars who followed the teachings of Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, and believed the Mark of Cain to be the red cross pattée.[1]
Sometime after the Toba catastrophe and the Human-Isu War ended, Cain killed his brother Abel to acquire the Apple of Eden possessed previously by their parents. For his crime, Cain was branded with a red cross.[2] The Templars of olden days named this cross the Mark of Cain,[1] and it became the emblem of the Templar Order.[2]
