Libyan Rite of the Templar Order

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

History
In 1511, the Templars abducted Spanish military engineer and general Pedro Navarro in Tripoli after he had been visited by Ottoman Assassins sent by Italian Mentor Ezio Auditore. However, the Assassins managed to locate and rescue Navarro, who subsequently informed them that the Templars were being commanded from Rhodes. Afterwards, the Assassins cut off the Templars' supply and communication lines and expelled them from the city.
