Ferris

Master Ferris was a member of the British Rite of the Templar Order active in the early 20th century and the mentor-like figure of Darius Gift. After Thaddeus Gift, Darius' father, was killed by the Black Cross in 1927 for stealing money from the Order, Ferris was the only Templar present at his funerals.

Following the ceremony, Ferris tasked Darius, who was eager to clean his tarnished name, with bringing a package to the Shanghai rite, seemingly in an effort to appease the rising tensions between their two rites.
