The Templar

The Templar is an enemy guardian featured only in Black Dawn.

Backstory.
The Templar was once one of King Richard the Lionheart's personal bodyguards during the Crusades. When he was killed in combat, he came into contact with Element 115 and resurrected as a zombie. Funnily enough, he retained most of his sentience and had a vision from Satan himself, promising his stead in the afterlife if he would do his deeds on Earth. The Templar bluntly refused the demonic entity's offer, but was already damned by God for his unholy presence. How he came to Russia is mostly unknown, but he seems to regard his 'kin' with only scorn. However, he also retains his kin's hunger for living flesh, seen as an ironic reminder of his current condition.

As an opponent, the player is advised to watch his six, as the Templar seems to have heightened senses, speed and a moderate threshold against damage. His sword is made from an iron tip and a steel blade, meaning he is able to kill both Demons and Angels, but due to his aging form, he is vulnerable to explosives and/or high damage weapons.

Trivia.

 * The idea of having an 'evil' templar came from the original script for Highlander, in which the Kurgan was supposed to have been a cold-blooded killer known as 'the Knight'.
