As a devoted member of Ordo Templarii: I pledge to aid the powerless and weak, offering them a shield against oppression. I shall operate in plain sight, masking our true purpose from those who would oppose us. With the cloak of charity, we shall extend our helping hand to those in need, offering hope and relief in times of despair. I vow to use this veil of benevolence to combat corruption covertly, striking at its roots to create a more just world. Our strength lies in compassion, for we shall bestow it upon those who truly deserve it. I recognize that justice demands both retribution and mercy, and I shall wield them wisely, guided by our sacred mission. In living simply, we shall share our abundance with the less fortunate, fostering a community of support and care. I shall respect the privacy and autonomy of individuals, safeguarding their right to live as they choose. With unwavering dedication, I embrace the weight of our cause, surrendering myself to its mission and accepting the risks it entails. Should I falter and fail to uphold this oath, I willingly accept the consequences imposed by the order, knowing that the greater good depends on our commitment and unity. Let this knowledge fortify my resolve and bind me to the path of service and secrecy, forever and always.

Historia Ordinis Templarii The History of Ordo Templarii dates back to the middle ages, to the seven knights who discovered the ruins of the Temple of Solomon, and the treasures and knowledge hidden within. To the Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonici, also known as the Knights Templar. Upon their 'destruction' in the year 1312, the remaining knights of the order went into hiding. For centuries the operated in secret, cells only loosely linked by a singular high command. They infiltrated companies, governments and charities, dedicated to the protection of the church from enemies both within and without, and uprooting corruption wherever they saw it. The Ordo Templarii is a charitable organization operating in Los Santos. They are dedicated to rooting out corruption and crime at all costs, and from all organizations. They are dedicated to hiding in plain sight. They attract Lawyers, Civil Servants, police and others that are dedicated to seeing corruption eliminated legally. Ordo Templarii has been founded by Georges DeMolay, descendant of the last public Grandmaster of the Knights Templar. All members of the Ordo Templarii must undergo a strict initiation ritual, pledging their loyalty to the Grandmaster himself, but above all to the greater good. Members pledge to follow the words that Jesus preached, and not the corrupted version that is spread today. They pledge to uphold vows of poverty, to help the poor and sick. To treat others the way they wish to be treated, and to defend the weak. Members believe that there is no one beyond redemption, but that sometimes violence must be used to encourage that redemption. The Ordo Templarii are devoted to charitable works, including community grants/funding, homeless shelters, and offering protection to those in need. These services are funded by donations from individual members/the community, or by government grants. Leges Sanctae There are ten Laws that all members must obey: Protect the weak and helpless Treat others the way you want to be treated Freely forgive those who seek forgiveness Love the individual, hate their sin Combat corruption wherever you see it Be compassionate to those deserving Retribution is just as necessary as compassion Live simply and freely, charity from the rich to the poor is required What two consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business Accept that serving the cause means surrendering your soul to damnation Ordo Structurae High Command: Magnus Magister: Georges DeMolay Magnus Centurio: Vacant Magnus Capellanus: Vacant The High Command are responsible for the day to day operations and grand strategic coals.
