Templars
In the fictional story of the game Assassin's Creed and it's sequels the Templars are a near thousand year old Christian group of knights, politicians, and other high authority figures (as well as civilians) who's goal is for a "better world". Though their means of doing so are questionable, as is their actual "goal" in the first place. The Templars were political
juggernauts in much of the 12th century and renaissance.They are the sworn enemy of the Assassin Order, who, despite their name, are more or less the peace keepers in this ongoing war. The Templars truly long for world domination using ancient artifacts believed (and in the story eventually proven) to hold mystical powers.The Templars are based on, and infact are
the Knights Templar, a Christian band of knights from the 12th century. As well as their rivals the Assassin Order being based on the real life band of assassins known as the
Hashashin (Hashashin believed to be the word "assassin" came from). In all reality these 2 groups did have their own bit of history together but, were never arch rivals nor was one or the other the bad guy.
The Knights Templar were most likely the more noble of the groups, but that's fairly debatable.

A
misguided white knight with a need to feel special and have a cause that uses
social justice issues as their platform. Often causing more problems than they are helping to solve.
Example:
Joe is
rushing in to
poorly defend the
POC when she was doing a fine job of doing it herself. He is such a Templar.

Despite what these guys may think, real
Templars had nothing to do with
Star Craft. Templar was the title for members of the Knights of the Temple. These warrior elites were similar to the Hospitallers and the Teutonic knights, in that they were extremely skilled knights that fought against the
Saracens during the Crusades.

1. A sub-race of the
Protoss in StarCraft. They were banished from Auir and moved to
Shakuras, they later help defeat the Zerg.
2. An epic StarCraft
Broodwar unit capable of bending the light around it to make itself invisible while it hacks up your units with warp blades.
Example:
The Dark Templar of
Shakuras were all very mean to Jim
Raynor.
