Templar
Officers of the Sabbat hierarchy are attended by a
number of special agents known as templar
(alternatively, "paladin"). To be appointed a
templar is a great honor, marking a Cainite as a
chosen vampire. For the duration of their service,
templar are expected to place loyalty to their
superior above all other concerns, However, only a
fool would describe them as "servants".
Many of these templar are bodyguards or enforcers
who use their martial prowess to protect the person
of their superior. However, an equal number serve as
advisors, investigators, or field commanders.
Serving as the eyes and ears of their officer,
templar walk the line between respected knights and
reviled gestapo agents.
Powers of the Templar "The templar can disobey an order from an officer
lower-ranked than the one who appointed him, as long
as it's disobedience in the line of duty."
The Sabbat, The Camarilla, and the Anarchs are fictional sects of vampires,
from White Wolf Game Studio's Vampire: The Masquerade books and role-playing games.
