The Templar Order Series (Garnier de Naplouse 1147 – 1191) (Assassin's Creed)

"It's not what I believe... it's what I know." Garnier was the tenth Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalier, a monastic order founded after the First Crusade, who established its first infirmary near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. At first, the order cared for pilgrims but soon made sure armed guards prevented the pilgrims from being harmed. This escorting force was built up dramatically and became a dominant Christian group along with the Knights Templar. Garnier began his service with the order in 1177, as a commander of the hospital in Jerusalem, and was promoted a decade later. Garnier was exiled from France for the cruel treatment of his patients, whom he saw less as people and more as experiments on whom to try the latest cures. The price of knowledge was never too high for him, even if it had to be paid with another man's blood. For a time, he was a resident of Tyre, but he quickly returned to his habits of human experimentation, eventually leading to his expulsion from this city as well. Since Garnier's family had contributed a significant amount of money to King Richard I's war efforts, he was thereafter harbored and protected in Acre. In Acre, Garnier managed to buy himself loyal assistants, who allowed him to continue his cruel work. Determined to keep any news of his crimes a secret from his superiors, he closed the hospital to only approved visitors and had patients crippled to keep them from leaving. In time, he came to believe that the patients were nothing more than lost souls in need of aid and that he had a responsibility to guide them however he saw fit. At some point, Garnier joined the Templar Order and learned their ways and secrets just like his fellow members. What he learned included the Templar's views and even information on the mysterious artifact, the Piece of Eden.
