Hello, you can call me Cristophorus and I consider myself a Templar. My favorite character is Haytham Kenway and I love AC, it's my favorite game and I like its story. But, this is not a "Meet your partners" forum, so I'll go to the point. Templars' goal and primary objective is to ensure the rise of civilization through control, choosing safety above freedom. One sentence to describe it: "the end justify the means".

But I find it contradictorious. If they, at least most of them, want a better future for mankind. Why trying to accomplish it through war and genocide? They were responsables in some way of the French Revolution, WWII and (in my country) of the coup d'etat ocurred in September 11, 1973 that still divides it into two sides.

Are they willing to make that kind of bloodshed? Of course, that's an obvious answer, I know that. But what I'm trying to ask is... why?

There are Templars, like Shay Cormac, Haytham Kenway, George Monro and many others, that think of those actions as catastrophic. But then I think about Henry Ford and I ask myself... the amount of disaster a strategy can lead. It depends on how "evil" is a person, in this case the Templar in charge?

I want to know your opinions about it.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language.<ac_metadata title="Are the Templars the "bad" guys? Have the do something that is not actually terrible?" related_topics="Templars"> </ac_metadata>
