The Council of Elders is one of the ruling groups of the modern-day Templar Order.^[1]

In 2016, it is led by Ellen Kaye. The Council was present at the gathering in London during which Alan Rikkin was killed by the Assassins.^[1]

Trivia

The Council's members appears to have a higher rank than the Guardians, which are the three highest ranking members of Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order, as exemplified by Ellen Kaye giving orders to Alan Rikkin.^[1] However, sources state that only the General of the Cross is above the Guardians in authority. This may suggest that the General is the leader of the Council, with other members acting as advisors.
