Nothing is true, everything is permitted ! Is not actually an accurate quote from Assasins, but I kept it as a reference to Assassin's creed https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/70499/what-is-the-historic-validity-of-nothing-is-real-everything-is-permitted-as-t
The Secretum Templi is a rumour that Roncelin de Fos actually created a secret Templar order within the templar order, and we have the secret founding documents of this order, however it is widely considered fake by historians. Secret rules of the templars http://prima.wiki/merzdorf.pdf starts page 128, before that it’s just the intro. English translation : https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Statutes-Templars-Posthumous-Publications/dp/1962312089 Personally I consider it fake in real life (too many masonic references, which doesn't make much medieval sense), but for the sake of the game we'll consider it canon in game.The red belt, red cloth, the final wovs when the statute is created and some of the most secret signs are from there.
Under torture, several templars did admit that there was a secret order, however it's difficult to be sure that it's true, in Bernard de Montpezat's confession he says « nous avons trois articles que personne ne connaîtra jamais, exceptés Dieu, le diable et les maîtres. » "We have three articles that no one will ever know, except for God, the devil, and the masters."
