Templars



A mostly Always Male group of the Vanguard (With very rare exceptions). They are known to encompass all of the collective fanaticism against the Undead. They remained on the Madgod 's side on the civil war with Kyna's Shadow warriors, while the standard infantry was mostly split.

They were named the Templars for a reason; they are (usually) men that were taken because the Vanguard's primary enemies did something to their friends, family, or themselves to drive them toward their hatred. They are outfitted with powerfully imbued armor that makes them mostly indestructible, and wield enchanted swords that shimmer with green magic that harms the undead.

They are led by a man only known as the "Legate". But when someone seeks out a Templar to be a kind of Diplomat, they look for "Johnathan", one of the earliest Templars who does not like vampires, but follow's Kyna's philosophy closer than most Templars do.  The Templars are the most powerful ground units of the Vanguard army, usually wielding the most up-to-date tech from victories across multiple timelines. They are unstoppable against the undead, though they act as siege-breakers when tasked to face against other, more standard enemies. Their tech is designed specifically to destroy or incapacitate undead and therefore, they're just juggernauts against more specific humanoids.
