Tunisian Rite of the Templar Order

The Tunisian Rite of the Templar Order were a group of like-minded individuals who swore allegiance to the Templar ideals, and operated throughout during the early 16th century.

History
In 1511, the Templars bribed Hafsid King Muhammad IV to allow only Templar-approved merchants to bring goods into the markets of Tunis. However, these bribes were stolen by Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by Italian Mentor Ezio Auditore, and put to other uses. Some time after, the Templars manipulated Muhammad into imposing quotas and mandates on local farmers that served the Templars' goals. However, the Assassins protected the farmers and eliminated the King's extortionists. Later on, the Templars bribed corrupt Hafsid ministers in exchange for loosened restrictions on imports and exports. However, the Assassins eliminated the most corrupt ministers and sent a message that corruption would be repaid with retribution. Eventually, the Templars were expelled them from the city.
