Race: Caucasian                                                Eye: Blue Bionic Date of birth: 03/01/1918                                Sex: Male Place of Birth: Herefordshire, England              Hair: Black Nationality: British                                             Height: 6' 0 Complexion: Old (Early 90's)  Synthetic              Weight: Unknown Build: Frail Athletic                                          --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Relevant History and Information: Edwin Croft is a decorated former British Officer, with experience commanding troops in World War Two, the Greek Civil War, the Malayan Emergency, the Irish Troubles and the Falklands war before finally retiring from the British Army at the age of 64 as a victoria cross recipient amongst other decorations. Not long after his retirement, Croft co-founded a private military company with his long time friend Simon Mann in 1993. Additionally he assisted with the recruitment and operational planning of another private military company founded by Simon Mann by the name of Sandline International. Throughout the mid 90's, Croft took part in numerous operational deployments by both Executive Outcomes and Sandline throughout the Middle East and Central Africa until finally in 2004 Sandline International went defunct, similarly to Executive Outcomes which had also gone under in 1998. Fed up with the pitfalls of Mann's attempts at running private military companies, Croft founded his own PMC; vowing not to make the same mistakes his former colleagues had.  Croft founded Taipan Security in 2005 however the name was soon changed to Caliburn Security Services in 2007 at which point intelligence suggests that he had likely been invited to the round table of the Knights Templar as a military advisor, in this position he had done nothing more than provide occasional advice to the leadership of the Global Occult Coalition, of which the Knights Templars were a member of at the time.  Due to the obvious difference in goals between the UNGOC and the Foundation, surveilance of GOC member groups was intense. Monitoring each individual within the groups as best as possible.  Around 2008, Croft was reaching the age of 90 and was becoming too frail to continue his service to the Templars and was in talks of selling Caliburn Security Services. Come December 2008, surveilance of Croft was paused due to his sudden dissapearance only for someone bearing his name to reappear in June of 2009.  Addendum 1: Edwin Croft in Africa, 2002. Addendum 2: "Edwin Croft" A.K.A. Lancelot in Estonia, Decemeber 2020. Audio recordings from our GOC informant confirm that despite the altered appearance, Lancelot still sounds the same. Nothing is known about how Lancelot came to look like this or if it is even truly Croft anymore. Templar Leadership - Codename LAMORAK   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Clair de Murbrusier A.K.A. “Lamorak”                 Age: 120, lifespan likely extended via anomalous means. Race: Negro                                                                    Eye:  Hazel Date of birth: 03/07/1901                                              Sex: Female Place of Birth: N'Djamena, Chad                                    Hair: Black Nationality: African (Central)                                           Height: 5' 4 Complexion: Young (Early 20's)                                      Weight: 56kg Build:  Slim, Athletic                                        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Relevant History and Information: Clair “LAMORAK” de Murbrusier is an african diplomat working for the african ambassador in London. She first made a splash when she won runner up for the “miss world” contest in 2017 and has since then continued to help the people of africa improve their lives by setting up the International Development & Aid Project (IDAP) that educates african people in england in exchange for company industry expansion and employment into and for the region of CHAD that is then taxed by the government. One of the most active companies in this program is “Sunshine farms”, who provides food and water supplies to IDAP. Additionally IDAP is active in the Middle East, Africa, North America and the Mediterranean, providing education and humanitarian aid. However, it is suspected that “LAMORAK” has created the  International Development & Aid Project (IDAP) for the express purposes of setting up a main base and facilitating “Crusade” operations in various regions under the guise of humanitarian aid. This is unconfirmed, however the GOC appears to have come to the same conclusion, having raided several IDAP operations in locations all over the globe. As of yet no evidence has been found to back up these suspicions, however due to the heavy ties to the Templars, investigation will continue. “LAMORAK” has been traced back to 1901 as our GOC mole leaked what has now confirmed to be a diary of the previous “LAMORAK” noting and commenting upon the various people and activities he partook in CHAD during the early 21th century. Clair de Murbrusier was described as “A worthy successor despite being 13 years of age”. It is likely that, similar to many other members of the Templar leadership, "LAMORAK" has extended her life through unknown anomalous means. Addendum 1: Picture of Lamorak at the Miss World contest. Addendum 2: Entry from a recovered diary written by the last person to hold the name Lamorak, dated November 1st, 1913.   Templar Leadership - Codename BORS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Gareth Desmond A.K.A. “BORS”                 Age: 207 Race: Caucasian                                                  Eye: Blue Date of birth: 07/11/1814                                  Sex: Male Place of Birth: Colony of New South Wales      Hair: Unknown Nationality: Australian                                        Height: 6' 0 Complexion: Middle Aged (mid 50’s)                         Weight: 74Kg Build: Athletic                                            -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Relevant History and Information:   J Addendum 1:  Addendum 2:  Addendum 3:  Knights Templar, Reformed The Holy Order of the Knights Templar, Reformed (commonly referred to as the Knights Templar, or simply Templars) was founded in 1119 and disbanded in 1312 by Pope Clement. They re-emerged during World War Two/the Seventh Occult War, declaring their opposition to the Ahnenerbe Obskurakorps, after which they became members of the United Nations (UN) Global Occult Coalition (GOC) . The Knights Templar remained one of 108 such peers within the GOC, providing chaplains, exorcists and priests to aid joint GOC operations. This continued until 2019, when the organisation underwent major restructuring, publishing a new mission statement and stated goals. In 2020, the GOC unanimously ejected the Knights Templar from their coalition, citing concerns over the Templars' new and ongoing attempts to execute a hostile takeover of the "Holy Lands" in what they refer to as a "Crusade". Since their removal from the GOC, the Knights Templar have massively expanded their capabilites to facilitate their goals of securing any and all artifacts related to Christianity - by force, if necessary - as well as forcibly seizing control of important holy sites. The Holy Order of the Knights Templar, Reformed " Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed Nomini tuo da gloriam" Status Active Leadership ("Knights of the Round Table") In addition to the unidentified Grand Master of the Templar Order ("Arthur") , the following individuals have been identified as members of the current leadership structure: Jauq Louie (“Gawain”) Jonathan Croftly (“Galahad”) Edwin Croft (“Lancelot”) Aaron Davis (“Percival”) Clair de Murbrusier (“Lamorak”) Clark Zhao (“Lucan”) Gareth Desmond (“Bors The Younger”) (5 other individuals remain unidentified) Strength Estimated 700-800 elite Knights 68,000 Mercenaries employed by Caliburn Security Services 19,000 employees spread between companies ran by Templar leaders To date, the order has seen success securing parts of Israel, Palestinian territories, and western Jordan, through the use of large mercenary armies and an enormous technological advantage. The Order claims to be led by 13 individuals referring to themselves as the Knights of the Round Table - a council of businesspeople, military commanders, and underworld power brokers, each with their own significant contributions to the Order's goals. The usage of the Round Table of Arthurian legend as their leadership structure is a new addition to the Order, believed to have taken place after the former organisation leader's son carried out a hostile takeover; according to multiple accounts, this was done as the new leader objected to "failing direction" and "lack of respect for tradition" from the old structure. A number of private international companies and organisations are known to be ran directly by one or more of the 13 individuals named in the Order's restructured leadership team, including: Archangel Dynamics , a military technology company based in Norway that specialises in aircraft autopilot systems, advanced aircraft, tank armor, advanced infantry armor systems, and weapon platforms. Archangel Dynamics developed and supplied highly advanced technology to the GOC prior to the ejection of the Knights Templar - however, much of that technology has since been reverse engineered by a Belgian military technology corporation called Cyngi Industries, and continues to be produced and supplied for GOC usage. Sunshine Farms , one of England’s primary importers and exporters of fresh produce and meats. Despite numerous investigations into Sunshine Farms and constant surveilance, nothing anomalous or out of the ordinary has been noted. International Development & Aid Project (IDAP) , a non-government organisation (NGO) operating globally to provide education and humanitarian aid to countries in need. IDAP is suspected to be an elaborate front for establishing 'Crusade' staging areas in nations that contain locations or objects of importance to the Templars. Caliburn Security Services , a British private military company founded by Edwin Croft (Round Table alias Lancelot ). In the past they conducted various contracts for small third world countries, taking security or otherwise less-than-legal contracts if the pay was good enough. Since then they have refocused primarily on assisting with all Templar-related operations - such as conducting site security and surveilance for companies like as Sunshine Farms and Archangel Dynamics, and protection details for IDAP workers.  Leadership Change of the Templars In 2019, the Templars experienced a drastic shift in goals and organisation, going from a mostly advisory group within the GOC to suddenly utilising the assets of Templar member companies to violently sieze artifacts and territory historically associated with Christianity. Foundation assets within the GOC report that the Templars ceased communication with the GOC around this time, declining requests to explain their sudden change in attitude. The Foundation was initially unaware of the motivation behind the changes, until the retrieval of audio recordings captured by covert listening devices. These devices were placed by the former Templar Grand Master, Charles Angelo, who also acted as CEO of Techa Innovations, a relatively secret technology company. The audio transcript is as follows: Origin of Recording: Iota-10 Covert Listening Device #3, 4th Story, Room #9, West Wing, Angelo Residence, Knightsbridge, England.   Individuals Recorded: Charles Angelo, Unidentified Individual (Presumed to be the son of Charles Angelo) [BEGIN LOG]   [A door is heard slamming open, loud footsteps can be heard on the timber floor entering the room.] Unidentified Individual: Father, I demand we speak immediately on the topic I raised with you yesterday. You cannot keep ignoring me! Charlies Angelo: There is nothing to speak about. Your childish and irrational thoughts are of no use discussing.   Unidentified Individual: The others agree with me! It is only you who is being irrational. Your antiquated ideas are leading our holy order into the grave, for years you have reduced us to nothing more than a slave to GOC. They take our technology, our money and our influence and despite that they ignore us and disregard anything we ask of them. Charles Angelo: Others? Nonsense, the table would not care for your stupi... [A loud thud is heard, interupting Charles.] Unidentified Individual: You are blind father! You have forced my hand and refuse to see reason. You allow these Judaic vermin within the GOC to destroy our most sacred artifacts, you force us to standby while the foundation locks away even more of our artifacts. Even as our spies tell you of their locations! You refuse to act! The table has had enough, it is time for cha... Charles Angelo: Silence! I will not allow this nonsense to continue. Get out of my office. Unidentified Individual: I will not, as you refuse to see reason I have come to tell you this. There is nothing you can do now, I have full support of the table and have sought backing from the Vatican as well. I will be taking your position as Grand Master, you can either support me and see reason....or I will be forced to put an end to your 250 years on this earth. Charles Angelo:  You cannot replace me boy! The Vatican cannot seriously back your idiotic attempt at a takeover. [A gunshot rings out.] Unidentified Individual:  So be it. [An object is heard hitting the floor.]   [Intercom]:  Mr. Angelo? Are you OK, I heard a gunshot, I am sending security up right aw...   Unidentified Individual: Ms. Constantine, there is no need to worry. Please contact Mr. Edwin Croft for me and tell him that the crusade is ready to go ahead and he may organise the contractors immediately. [Intercom - Ms. Constantine]:  Of course sir but I heard a gunshot- Unidentified Individual: Ms. Constantine, do not worry yourself with such matters. Oh and once you have contacted Mr. Croft, I need you to send for Jauq. Tell him it is of the utmost urgency, understood? [Intercom - Ms. Constantine]: Right away sir.   [END LOG] Shortly after this log was recorded and recovered, the listening device was discovered during a sweep suggested by Edwin Croft ("Lancelot"), not long after he arrived to meet the new Grand Master ("Arthur"). The log sheds some light on what, and why, the sudden change in the Templars' behaviour occurred. The son of the former Grand Master had approached individual members of the Templars, as well as the Vatican, seeking support to transfer leadership from his father to himself. "Arthur" reportedly faced little opposition in this, as the existing leadership had grown tired of their involvement in the GOC and generally agreed to support the takeover. With those leaders backing him, "Arthur" confronted his father and requested his help to separate from the GOC that took them for granted, returning to the original vision of the Knights Templar and their traditions. When his father resisted, "Arthur" killed him in cold blood. Within a week of the hostile takeover, the Knights Templar invaded northern Egypt with 22,000 Caliburn Security Services mercenaries, sailing ships full of heavy ordnance to gain footholds at docks. From there they set out into western Israel, beginning the violent slaughter of any towns and villages in their path. Since then they have taken and held Jerusalem, parts of Israel, western Jordan, and the entirety of Palestinian territories. The Israeli Defence Force - lacking the support of the former United States of America - was unable to mount effective resistance to the Templars' "crusade", only successfully defending Tel-Aviv. The Jordanian Government also attempted to resist, and was quickly pushed out before unconditionally surrendering contested lands to the Templars. Uniform & Structure Ranking System of the Knights of the Order While the order employs a large number of mercenaries for its military tasks, it also has its own full-time standing army. This army is highly trained, very well funded, and utilises the latest in military technology - often using cutting-edge, purpose-built and prototype technology to enhance their capabilities. As several Knights of the Round Table are known to be CEOs of enormous military technology research and development enterprises, their direct access to such advanced and powerful equipment is nearly unparalleled. Recruits are drawn directly from contracted Private Military Companies, military veterans, and even currently-serving state soldiers. The largest known source of recruits of full-time soldiers is from the ranks of Caliburn Security Services, and recruits are trained at an unknown location believed to be somewhere in Norway. The army of the Knights Templar is structured after the Military Order of the Knights Templar, and as such uses a three-tier rank system Soldiers Soldiers make up the bulk of the army - consisting of recruits and non-veteran members of the Order - and carry out the bulk of brute force tasks the army requires. Typically, these soldiers are organised into platoon elements of 30 men, and deployed as special forces in support of larger mercenary companies. Soldiers are equipped with highly resistant body armor and a mixture of conventional and energy weapons- with higher ranking soldiers bearing additional protective or offensive equipment (e.g. heavy armour, exo-skeletons, pulse rifles). Knights Knights are well respected soldiers within the order and are often the commanders of large groups of templars, often acting as field commanders for groups of templars and mercenaries. Knights are granted access to extremely high tech equipment, with each knight being granted a suit of powered armor to protect them in battle. These suits are adorned in templar colors of black and red. Knights are drawn directly from the upper ranks of the soldiery. Upon selection, they receive formal training in swordsmanship and power armour usage. Knights are often seen wielding both swords and projectile weaponry. Officers Higher ranking Knights of the Order, known as Knight Officers, are responsible for directing entire battlefields. Commanding several companies of mercenaries, templars, and knights. Such officers are few in number, as only the most proven and capable knights progress to become officers - and only with a personal invitation from a Knight of the Round Table.     Caliburn Security Services Company (CSSC)   Caliburn Security Services Company " Anytime, Anyplace, Any Mission" Status Active Leadership Edwin Croft  (“Lancelot”) Strength 68,000 Mercenaries employed by Caliburn Security Services 12,000 Non-combat Staff The Caliburn Security Services Company (commonly referred to as Caliburn Security, or simply CSSC) was founded in 2005 by Edwin Croft ("Lancelot") under its original name of Taipan Security,  it was soon renamed in 2007 to its current day name. CSSC was founded with the intent to offer private military services without the pitfalls of other PMCs that came before it, offerring a proffesional, no nonsense service to anyone who is willing to pay. In the past they conducted various contracts for small third world countries, taking security or otherwise less-than-legal contracts if the pay was good enough. Since then they have refocused primarily on assisting with all Templar-related operations - such as conducting site security and surveilance for companies like as Sunshine Farms and Archangel Dynamics , and protection details for IDAP workers.  A large portion of Caliburn Security is currently dedicated to an ongoing crusade led by the Templars, with 22,000 combat staff and 2000 non-combat staff currently in Israel.  Uniform & Structure While the Templar Order they are associated with is a highly ordered military organisation, Caliburn Security is a relatively loosely organised with no formal ranking structure other than the positions of a soldier within a fireteam or section. Caliburn Security Services currently recruits from various sources primarily consisting of state run militaries, however a large majority of their forces are recruited directly from the British Armed Forces - with roughly 73% of Caliburn Security being of British nationality. Mercenaries within Caliburn Security don a distinct grey uniform paired with typically black or grey helmets. Most of their weaponry is drawn from British Armed Forces surplus (L85A2's, L110A2 Minimi's and L129A1 DMR's) International Development & Aid Project   International Development & Aid Project " Improving Life Globally, One Person at a Time " Status Active Leadership IDAP is ran by a council of business people and people of power however the primary leadership group consists of: Sir John Carter   Clair de Murbrusier (“Lamorak”) Henry Parker Jonathan Croftly ("Galahad") Strength 11,000 Volunteers Aid Workers Globally 9000 Support Personnel 900 Administrative Staff The International Development & Aid Project (Or simply IDAP) was founded by Clair de Murbrusier (" Lamorak ") in mid 2017, the IDAP is a British NGO that specialises in responding to natural and man-made disasters. Since its founding, the IDAP has provided humanitarian aid to more than ninety million people worldwide and continues to run missions throughout the Middle East, Africa, North America and the Mediterranean. Their main headquarters are located in London, England. However, it is suspected that de Murbrusier has created the  International Development & Aid Project (IDAP) for the express purpose of setting up launch pads for “Crusade” operations in various regions under the guise of humanitarian aid. This is unconfirmed, however the GOC appears to have come to the same conclusion, having raided several IDAP operations in locations all over the globe. As of yet no evidence has been found to back up these suspicions, however due to the heavy ties to the Templars, investigation will continue. Personnel IDAP's field operations are predominately carried out by volunteer aid workers who form the bulk of the manpower at each crisis centre. However, IDAP is also formed from an extensive array of support personnel ranging from WATSAN experts (WATer and SANitation), doctors, paramedics, surgeons, health promoters, teachers, builders and engineers. Ex-military servicemen are also a key part of the organisation's structure, and serve as field consultants for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)-related matters. Caliburn Security Services often provide personnel for these duties. Techa Innovations Archangel Dynamics Archangel Dynamics " A Tailored Solution to Any Problem" Status Active Leadership Aaron Davis (“Percival”) Strength 4,000 Employees (Factory Workers, Engineers and Administration Staff) Archangel Dynamics is a military technology research and development corporation that officially produces various products for the private sector, including the Caliburn Security Services Company (CSSC), and occasionally collaborates with the Canton Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty (C-SAT). Unofficial reports suggest that they trade off the radar exclusively for other technologies, although these reports are unconfirmed. The company is led by CEO Aaron Davis, an alias that has been confirmed to belong to PERCIVAL of the Round Table. Archangel Dynamics' areas of focus include the development of vehicle platforms, body armor, and infantry fighting weapons. Some of their notable projects include the Incapacitated Aircraft Operator Autopilot, Reactive Tank Plating, and SMART Cluster Ordnance and Munitions. Recent successes have allowed Archangel Dynamics to acquire multiple R&D departments unrelated to military and weapons development. These acquisitions include a plant and food genetics lab, a Japanese motor company, Space Z Astrophysics, and a think tank dedicated to mobile communications. It is unknown what Archangel Dynamics intends to do with these acquisitions. However, Foundation agents have observed that approximately 50-60% of staff resigned from their positions after being bought out and declined to provide any information about their circumstances. Known Notable Inventions Ammunition .490 Archangel Magnum - A high velocity, super heavy, cartridge which utilises cutting edge propellent paired with a super dense material for the projectile. Pushing a roughly 1850 grain projectile at 700 meters per second, in a case and projectile with the overall size roughly equivalent to .30-06, allowing for relatively high capacity weapons despite the power potential of the cartridge. Infantry Weapons KU-3K & KU-5K - Heavy Infantry Weapon Systems (HIWS). The KU3K, a fixed barrel 'assault' rifle and the KU5K, a rotary barrel machinegun, are heavy weapon systems chambered in .490 AM. XAR-14 Pulse Rifle - A light infantry energy weapon, designed to fire energetic 6.8mm Cartridges. The inner workings of the cartridge itself is unknown, specifically how it manages to entirely defy the laws of gravity despite the low velocity of the projectile. Vehicles X-66 Mammoth Tank - A super heavy, nigh indestructable dual barreled tank, featuring wire guided, rapid fire missile systems and a high rate of fire 12.7x99 coaxal machinegun. Notably this tank was featured in the video game Command & Conquer. The foundation believes that SCP-14866 was used to materialise the vehicle into our reality from the game, which was then likely reversed engineered and improved.
