From the Arthurian epic poem <I>Parzival</I> to Dan Brown''s <I>The Da Vinci Code</I>, <I>Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade</I>, and the <I>Assassin''s Creed</I> video game series, the Knights Templar have captivated artists and audiences alike for centuries. In modern times, the Templars have featured in many narrative contexts, evolving in a range of contrasting story roles: the grail guardian, the heroic knight, the villainous knight, and the keeper of conspiracies. This study explores why these gone but not forgotten warrior monks remain prominent in popular culture; how history influenced the myth; and how the myth has influenced literature, film and video games.
