Complications:
Holy Orders - Monsignor Mlambo has taken vows of Catholic priesthood. He is obligated to perform all of his priestly duties.
Power Loss - When divested of the Armour of the Paladin, Templar is powerless, and his traits are the lesser values shown.
Responsibility - Monsignor Mlambo has been specifically chosen to wear/use the holy relic, the Armour of the Paladin, to protect the Papacy and Vatican City.
Secret Replacement - Cristovo Mlambo was chosen to succeed Wayne de Monterand as Templar after de Monterand was murdered.

Known Background:Templar is a relatively new hero on the scene and has appeared mostly in the region of Italy. Other appearances have corresponded with when the Pope himself has left Vatican City. He has never stayed behind long after completely his task to answer any questions. Also, most of his appearances have been when he has helped out in major disasters within Italy or Sicily. Moreover, the current Templar is actually the second man to wear the holy armor. The first was murdered.

Personality: The man inside the glowing golden armor is unknown, though he speaks with an Angolan accent, whether speaking Portugese, Italian, or English.

Powers/Tactics: Obviously the man in the armor derives his powers from the armor, which has a golden aura about it. The armor grants Templar the ability to fly and more than physical protection, as it emits a shield around his person almost all the time. He has been noted to have the ability to project a barrier around others but the most known feature of Templar is his ability to emit an energy blast that tends to knock out normal humans in a single blast.

Appearance: Templar stand a mere 6 ft tall, and the armor looks of ancient origins. The armor itself has been engraved with patterns and unknown symbols but the most noticeable is the chest plate of the armor. During a few crises, he's been seen at about 10 times his normal height.

The first Templar was created and designed by Paul Corley; his successors were created by Ken Hallaron following the basic template. He is an NPC.
