Not too many normal people here, mate. Not by a long shot. Not saying your situation's fixed, but it's changed.
Templars are controlling heels who believe that the way to a civilized world is through order, or their version of it. You know the bit, keep their pockets lined while the poor get poorer. They've been our enemies through history, it's all terribly epic and interesting if you're boring, I suppose, but mostly it just means that if there's a Templar about I get to hit them until the undertaker shows.
