Templar

The Templars are a highly secretive, quasi-mythical organization that existed during the reign of Eieber, and afterward: essentially an intelligence agency, but sometimes a society of secret sentinels who protect innocents from monsters, or anticipate crime. Amuro Tenken was sometimes identified as a Templar. Legends describe them as a society of itinerant, but highly-ranked plenipotentiaries, empowered to enforce laws and kill lawbreakers at will, and affiliated with the highest levels of government, until the government, to gain supremacy over them, ordered the Templars suppressed and destroyed, and the survivors went into hiding, and continued in secret.
