Knights of Christendom

The Knights of Christendom grew out of the Western Church's early attempts to curb the violence rampant in medieval Europe. By conforming soldiers to a code of honor and chivalry, they hoped to stem the bloodshed with discipline and a sense of religious honor. Thus was born the concept of the medieval knight, a tradition which has lasted into the modern era through the actions of the Knights of Christendom.

== Facts: ==
-The Knights are ostensibly open to any Adept who professes the Christian faith and shows at least some martial ability. But specifically this Chapter draws most of its members from the Christian Orders.
-Knights concern themselves with the well-being of Christians. This means working towards keeping the status of Churches secure, preventing any sort of political undermining of the Church, or of internal schisms within the Church itself. More commonly the Knights act as basic sentinels, choosing a single church or a network of churches within a given location and protecting them from local Supernaturals who could pose a threat.
-The Knights are definitely a Conservative lot, and a militant one at that. It's not that they actively believe all change is bad, only that change usually brings new dangers to contend with. And Knights are designed to combat anything that endangers the Church.
-Modern Knights don't run around with swords and shields (unless their Crusader Adepts, anyway), they are often men and women with at least some modicum of training who use modern weapons and firearms.
-The 'Christian Flag' is the symbol of the Knights of Christendom.
-The Knights aren't really the kind of Chapter with a full blown infrastructure and assets and everything. They tend to work in small groups (ie, mono-Squads) and watch over their own humble territory.
-The Knights receive much membership and support from the Nazoreans.
