The Ordo Templariis (also called the Poor Fellow Crusaders of the God-Emperor and the Golden Throne, or simply Templars) is an unofficial military order of the Imperial Cult that came into existence in the early 41st Millennium. Although it is not officially recognized by the Ecclesiarchy, several Cardinals have informally granted canonical recognition of it as a hospitaller and military order of chivalry. Countless other orders of a similar nature exist throughout the Imperium, but the Ordo Templariis has come to be the best-known and among the most accomplished among them.

  • The Ordo Templariis (also called the Poor Fellow Crusaders of the God-Emperor and the Golden Throne, or simply Templars) is an unofficial military order of the Imperial Cult that came into existence in the early 41st Millennium. Although it is not officially recognized by the Ecclesiarchy, several Cardinals have informally granted canonical recognition of it as a hospitaller and military order of chivalry. Countless other orders of a similar nature exist throughout the Imperium, but the Ordo Templariis has come to be the best-known and among the most accomplished among them. While the Ecclesiarchy is prohibited to maintain "men under arms" by the Decree Passive dating back to the 36th Millennium, many bands of fanatical worshipers of the Emperor continued to exist across the Imperium, varying from various religious martial orders to the loosely united Frateris Militia. The group that would become the Ordo Templariis originated as the personal bodyguards of Emil Rebreanu, Arch-Cardinal of the Veldin Sector diocese. He formed a group of a few hundred Crusaders who eventually became a tight-nit brotherhood and fought in Imperial Crusades independently. After their initial success it grew more famous and attracted new followers from among the Frateris Militia, though only the most capable among them were selected. It was not long before it came to call itself the Ordo Templariis and grew beyond the service of just Arch-Cardinal Rebreanu, serving many different officials of the clergy. Since then the Ordo Templariis has grown in Segmentum Obscurus in the form of various small cells spread out among the systems, and expanded beyond the martial realm as its agents entered the financial and business world. Some of the Cardinals in the region secretly not only tolerate it but use it to provide assistance in situations when the heavy-handedness of the Imperial Guard or disorganized zealotry of the Frateris Militia are undesirable, as well as to serve as a vanguard during the Wars of Faith. Sometimes they are called upon to discreetly work as security guards on Shrine Worlds in the region. The presence of so many Forces of Chaos in the Segmentum has assured that the Templars' services are frequently demanded. Since it is a decentralized organization not directly affiliated with the Ecclesiarch or the Holy Synod itself, it is more or less tolerated by the Imperial government as long its activities are aligned with the interests of the Imperium.
