Red Templars

Red Templars are a splinter faction of rebel Templars who have become corrupted by the use of Red lyrium. 
== History ==
== Involvement ==
=== Dragon Age: Inquisition ===
=== Dragon Age: Absolution ===
== Organization ==
The Red Templars have adopted a more military approach to ranks within the organization and have removed the prefix "Knight" from the title. However, there are a few in the order that still prefer to have the "Knight" prefix included in their title.
* General
* Captain / Knight-Captain
* Lieutenant / Knight-Lieutenant
* Sergeant
* Red Templar Knight – large and horrible to look upon, they have portions of their flesh being fused to their armor, they hit hard and are able to strengthen nearby Red Templar soldiers.
* Red Templar Shadow – templars whose arms have been taken over by sharp red lyrium crystals, they stalk the battle field and attack unseen. (Rogue - Double Daggers)
* Red Templar Horror – barely human beasts with warped, mangled flesh bursting out of their armor and studded with red lyrium crystals, they attack from afar and can generate a barrier for themselves after a moment of channeling.
* Red Templar Guard (Warrior - Sword and Tower Shield)
* Red Templar Marksman (Rogue - Archer)
* Red Templar "Foot Soldier" (Warrior - One-Handed Sword)
* Red Templar Behemoth
== Abilities ==
Thanks to the powers of Red lyrium, all Red Templars possess enhanced speed, strength, stamina and healing capability. At more advanced stages of corruption, they are able to 'sow' red lyrium deposits into the soil. Behemoths for example, are capable of sowing red lyrium into the soil; causing it to burst out of the ground when they strike the floor and thus creating a barricade of red lyrium to trap their prey.
Red Templar Horrors are also able to create and expel red lyrium crystals at high velocity from their bodies and spew red lyrium in gas form. Horrors are able to "spit" consecutive red lyrium shards from their palms for straight shots and a barrage from their back for an arc shot. The Horror can also charge the crystals on their backs in order to emit a red electrical mist that engulfs their surroundings, and makes anyone that comes in contact with the mist feel a raw lyrium exposure-like sickness.Codex entry: Horror Horrors will stop spitting crystals and instead use the electrical mist to weaken their foes as they engage in melee combat. Their "tell" for when they are about to emit the red electrical mist is when they wring their heads and writhe, their red lyrium-lumped backs pulsating and emitting a dark red gas until they eventually explode with red energy.
Red Templar Knights are able to channel a current of red lyrium lightning to other Red Templars in order to accelerate the speed of their corruption; thereby transforming them into Horrors almost instantly. Knights are also able to use this ability to further enhance the strength and endurance of other Red Templars. Knights can also shoot a singular red lyrium shard from its hands that can stagger opponents when it hits. While both Horrors and Knights eschew traditional weaponry in favour of their bare hands and claws, Shadows have taken it further and their forearms have actually transformed into giant spikes of Red Lyrium, allowing them to slice into their enemies. Shadows can also fade from view and are also adept at using ambush tactics.
