The Face of Baphomet

"The Face of Baphomet" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author Jeffrey Thomas, published in his 2005 collection Unholy Dimensions by Mythos Books.
==Synopsis==
D'Urberville is a man who believes his family can trace their lineage back to the secretive order of the Knights Templar; in an effort to confirm this belief, he approaches Basil Rosier, an enigmatic collector of antiquities. Despite an initial incredulity that his ancestors committed any of the heresies of which they were accused by the Catholic Church, when confronted with one of Rosier's artefacts, he is quickly convinced otherwise, and with such a revelation is immediately welcomed into the folds of Shub-Niggurath's cult.
==Trivia==
The Knights Templar were a real-world Order during the Middle Ages who were betrayed by the Catholic Church at the behest of King Philip IV, who was heavily indebted to them. Their members were tortured into giving false confessions of heresy before being burned at the stakehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar.
