English Rite and Italian Rite?

I'm not entirely certain, but should there be Rites for the English Templars (under Birch), the Italian ones (under the House of Borgia), and the Turkish ones (under Ahmet)? I ask this because only some of the groups have been named, but the Italian Templars in particular have had a bigger focus than most besides the Colonial Rite of the Templar Order, having been present in two games on top of other media. I can, again, very easily be wrong.GZilla311 (talk) 19:25, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Probably, but we haven't gotten round to it yet. Although i'm not sure if the Italian Templars are a "rite". I know there's a British Rite of the Templar Order, though.--Bovkaffe (talk) 19:29, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

I only said as a Rite because they do seem organized that way. With a Grand Master and his underlings. I can easily be wrong about that. Is it the British Rite or the English Rite? Or even the London Rite? I can't tell.GZilla311 (talk) 19:32, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Shaun talks about a "London Rite" led by Reginald Birch, but in Rogue, it's called the "British Rite", so we should probably go for "British Rite of the Templar Order".--Bovkaffe (talk) 19:36, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Got it. What should we do about the Italians, though? Namely, the sect including the House of Pazzi, the House of Borgia, and the House of Pazzi. It seems a well-defined enough group to be given a label, but I'm not entirely certain.GZilla311 (talk) 23:36, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Knights Templar vs Templars?

Due to the fact that the Levantine Assassins (the original Hashashin) have their own entry, and that the official Knights Templar were extremely prominent from their inception to their nominal dissolution in the 1300s, should we make a Templar Rite page for them as well? Members would include the targets in Assassin's Creed I, Bloodlines, Altaïr's Chronicles, those in the prologue of Unity, and any others that were affiliated with the official knightly order, not just the Templars as a conspiratorial organization spanning the millennia.

This is just an idea. Any thoughts? GZilla311 (talk) 20:46, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Highly debatable Rites

This is an ongoing discussion.

How many of the "Rites" actually qualify? As with the Algerian Rite, I feel that the Tunisian and Libyan groups—but also the Tunisian Assassins—also have insufficient information to be proper Rites. Given that we do not even know a single member's name for any of them, I feel it means "Templars of [insert country demonym] nationality" and is instead just general Templar activity in the region rather than a collective. – Darman (talk) 00:10, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
