The Knights Templar is a clandestine Christian order militant, empowered by the Pope himself. They look for the supernatural and make sure it does not become common knowledge that it exists. If one day people had proof that Devils, Demons and all manner of supernatural creatures existed, there would be no need for Faith, as it would be a fact. Without Faith, the last real choice for Humanity, there can be no Heaven, as you would not need to believe to follow the tenets of faith, you would follow the rules BECAUSE it was a fact.

The Knights Templar are recruited from people who have had a traumatic experience (getting born with the sight is quite traumatic too, and this happens often), causing them to be sensitive to the "real world", called [[The Sight]]. This causes them to see through the disguises many creatures of the night wear around us in open society. Many of those creatures are [[Benevolentia]]. An agreement between God and Satan, allowing them the chance to keep an eye on the others actions and influence events covertly, neither of them wants people to see the truth, for the aforementioned reasons. As long as the [[Benevolentia]] don't work overtly (no direct killing, showing of supernatural gifts, etc,...), they are allowed to exist and cannot be attacked or harassed by the Templars. There are many who skirt the rules and quite a few who prefer to go after their own agenda, not to mention many people that use supernatural means to further their own goals, and those are fair game for the Knight Templars.

Then there are Magic users that influence the world around them overtly, their mere existence a ticking time-bomb, because such power usually begets abuse... As soon as they cross the line: [[Witches]] that take control of or harm a human, [[Wizards]] merely by using magic (the danger of [[Procursus]]), [[Diabolists]] are harder to find, but just having a [[Demon]] is usually reason enough to be tried and executed... Sometimes they get a second chance, especially these days, as finding people with the skills and abilities to go up against the Supernatural and Unholy is rare enough. But summary execution, if they are a danger to the team or the populace, is a sword that's ever above them. This is why every team has at least one person of the Cloth with them (Nuns, Priests, Monks, ...), usually because they themselves have sinned, or somehow become [[Excommunicatis]]. Strangely enough they all have [[the Sight]] when they come to be Knights Templar, a secret none are willing to share.
