Battalion Description

About the Knights of the Church

One of the original battalions, this battalion formed from the Church of the Button before they joined the April Knights, led by their Commander, the Pope of the Button, Ghostise.

Due to its long history, the Knights of the Church (KotC) have a different internal structure than other battalions. Members of this battalion are known as templars and are divided into three squads, each led by a Sergeant.

Since the end of the Button, Templars have continued our mission to proselytize the Church, support other battalions in their objectives, keep records and histories, and work with the Inquisition to keep the Order safe.

From the steadfast Templar order to the secretive Inquisition, the Knights of the Church (KotC) focus on purging the unworthy in holy fire! We either support operations through our templars or handle the espionage affairs with the Inquisition. After the the excitement of a campaign has peaked, many templars make sure to document the details for posterity and analysis, helping the masses of the lost find the true meaning of the nostalgia through the church. Others may help organize activities to keep the faith alive throughout the year, so that the Knights have the greatest numbers going into each new event!

The inquisition was born from the KotC, with quite a view inquisitors and grand inquisitors among their ranks. KotC was the only battalion that survived intact through the dark ages, a time of atrophy after The Button Reddit event, 2015 to 2018.
