A millitary organization formed to help pilgrims get to the holy land. Disbanded by church when it was found to be helping jews. NOTHING TO DO WITH ASSASINS CREED

Get the Knights Templar mug.In the fictional story of the game Assassin's Creed and it's sequels the Templars are a near thousand year old Christian group of knights, politicians, and other high authority figures (as well as civilians) who's goal is for a "better world". Though their means of doing so are questionable, as is their actual "goal" in the first place. The Templars were political juggernauts in much of the 12th century and renaissance.
They are the sworn enemy of the Assassin Order, who, despite their name, are more or less the peace keepers in this ongoing war. The Templars truly long for world domination using ancient artifacts believed (and in the story eventually proven) to hold mystical powers.
The Templars are based on, and infact are the Knights Templar, a Christian band of knights from the 12th century. As well as their rivals the Assassin Order being based on the real life band of assassins known as the Hashashin (Hashashin believed to be the word "assassin" came from). In all reality these 2 groups did have their own bit of history together but, were never arch rivals nor was one or the other the bad guy. The Knights Templar were most likely the more noble of the groups, but that's fairly debatable.

Get the high templar mug.To take something, usually a piece of communication, and create a template out of it that allows one to replace elements of the communication to change the message. For a banner advertisement, for instance, swapping out headlines or images to communicate something else.
"The client really likes these accolades banners you did. Can we 'templatize' them to accommodate other accolades as they come up?"

Get the templatize mug.A fancy word for stealing.
"Great idea Steve, lets move forward on this option and utilize their website design as a template for our own. We can customize it with our own logo and wording to make it better and more edgy. My wife is an artist and she loves that font Papyrus, lets use that"

Get the Template mug.I find that subculture tediously templative; desperately clinging to prefab social masks because they’re terrified of the shrieking void within.

Get the Templative mug.A rush strategy employed by a few starcraft 2 players. In a 2v2 match, one teammate creates a small army early on in order to confuse and prevent the enemy from successfully attacking early on. The other player uses the protoss, teching as fast as humanly possible to Dark templars and warp prisms. Using a warp prism you drop 3+ dark templars behind the enemy base, ussually causing the enemy to rage quit.
Works best when the non-protoss player uses marines or zerglings to gaurd their teammates base.

falcon337 sent a small group of zerglings to attack the protoss player in an early rush...
however koalla99 fended off the attack!
the enemy then teched air in a hope of countering the melee...
but just as he got his first air unit Thepastryviking hit Falcon337 with a dark templar rush!
falcon 337 had no observers and thus, rage quit!
VICTORY!
