Talk:Grand Master of the Templar Order

Do this and Grand Master of the Assassin's Order deserve their own articles? All important information already is on the main factions' pages. This seems kind of pointless to me. -- Master Sima Yi 13:10, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

• A precedent has been set by the Novice, Master Assassin and other rank/title articles. So I would say yes, unless you're challenging the other articles as well. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 02:00, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not. Just leave it like this. -- Master Sima Yi 15:46, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Branches

There are several branches of the Templars, as shown in AC II (Rodrigo Borgia - Leader of the Italian Templars). So it is possible that there was another Grand Master for, say, the English Templars. What would be the best way to mention this in the article? -- Master Sima Yi 15:46, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

You're probably right that there are more branches, but I don't think I've seen any source of proof in the games of this. So if this is not mentioned in the game, then I would leave it out. - Altaïr 17:51, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, there's the fact that Jeanne d'Arc was burned by the Templars, probably English, and I doubt that the Templars would've gone to Italy right after that all of a sudden. And Rodrigo's database entry says "Leader of the Italian Templars". If there would've been just one branch, they wouldn't have needed to say "Italian Templars". -- Master Sima Yi 15:55, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that we can only speculate about the others. Likely it's the case that they were united under one Grand Master during the crusades, but split up under several branches afterwards. Maybe because they expanded. But that's all speculation, which we can't put it. Altaïr 18:06, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

I know that. But there has to be something that confirms what I said in the game... -- Master Sima Yi 16:13, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Can't we just write something like, 'The database reveals that Rodrigo Borgia led the Italian Templars. So far it's unknown who led the other branches.' Altaïr 18:17, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, as you said, let's just leave it out since there's no real confirmation of there being more than one branch. I'll look for some kind of confirmation once I have my copy back. -- Master Sima Yi 16:19, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
