I wanted to ask you something. Which is… what's your name? The title of this article is conjecture. Although the subject of this article is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
A Templar leader is a Templar who heads one of their regional branches, also known as a Templar Rite.[1]
Although the leader of a Templar Rite typically holds the rank of Grand Master,[1] there have been known instances where the leader instead only held the rank of Master Templar,[2][3] usually because they operated on behalf of another Rite's Grand Master.[2][4]
By the 21st century, the Grand Masters no longer held the highest rank among the Templar Order. They were instead answerable to the Guardians, who in turn answered to the General of the Cross.[5]
