Early History

Birth Of Nobunaga

After Nobunaga's birth, Nobuhide wanted his son to succeed him after he died. At the time, Nobuhide was constantly being defeated by the Imagawa clan, especially at the Battle Of Azukizaka. Nobuhide did not what know what to do, so his retainer, Masahide Hirate, advised him to form a Templar Order.

The Rise of Nobuhide

Nobuhide, taking his advice to heart, formed a Templar Order.

At first, it was just Nobuhide and Masahide, but as time went on, they recruited more and more members each day.

Nobuhide then appointed himself Head Master, and Nobunaga would become the next head master of the Templar Order after Nobuhide.

Nobunaga becomes Head Master

In 1551, Nobuhide passed away due to plague, leaving Nobunaga to carry his legacy. At Nobuhide's funeral however, Nobunaga threw the incense at his father's coffin, and walked away. Thus, he then became known as the Fool of Owari.

The Devil Shibata

After the Funeral, Katsuie Shibata, enraged at Nobunaga's behavior, rebelled. but was eventually defeated by Nobunaga, And was recruited into The Templar Order as a enforcer for Nobunaga.
