Templar
Templar
Class[[]]
Location[[]]

Kormac the Templar is the first of three Followers that the player will encounter. The Templar is obtained as a part of the Reign of the Black King quest. First the player rescues him from a cultist ritual in the third level of the Tristram Cathedral and helps him retrieve his gear. The player then assists the Templar in slaying the treacherous Jondar. After this is accomplished, the Templar pledges his loyalty to your cause.

Lore[]

I will never succumb to your evil.

— Kormac

The templar are holy warriors, fighting for justice and eschewing the dangers that lead to cultism and demonic possession by espousing self-denial. They do not merely pay lip service to protecting the realm - they are battle-trained and experienced to a man, and the brooding, dedicated Kormac is a paragon among them.

Kormac came to the order as a young man, and was quickly molded into the ideal templar, adapting naturally to an ascetic way of life. His devotion is particularly unshakable, even for one of his order, and, despite his respect for battle prowess, his disdain for those who don't share his high moral standards is readily apparent.

Though Kormac's ways will not always be your own, your aims and goals align, and so he will fight alongside you to purge the world of the insidious darkness that would hide from the light of Heaven. [1]

Trivia[]

Kormac is voiced by Dominic Keating, whom sci-fi fans may recognize for his role as Lt. Malcolm Reed on Star Trek: Enterprise.

Follower Interactions[]

The persistent followers, unlike Hirelings in Diablo II apart from aiding the player, are a living part of the world and the story line. The player can choose to talk with them at any time like with regular NPCs. Kormac can also initiate a short discussion with the player's character or throw in shorts comments during the play.

Depending on the player character class the discussion with the Templar may vary, resulting from different character background.

Quest Dialogue[]

Templar: And the tomes! Onward!

Upon entering Old Tristram Road

Templar: Well, this is a dismal sight...

Upon entering The Old Ruins

  • Player (Demon Hunter): Old Tristram... Diablo's evil still lingers here.
Templar: This village surrendered to evil and paid the price.

The Legacy of Cain

Upon entering Cathedral Level 1

  • Player (Barbarian): Tristram Cathedral. The fallen star lies within.
  • Templar: Tristram Cathedral... I'm amazed it still stands.

A Shattered Crown

While killing risen in the Cellar of the Damned

  • Haedrig Eamon: My friends... I'm sorry.
  • Templar: Apologies will not lay them to rest, blacksmith! Swing your bloody hammer!

While killing Mira Eamon in the Cellar of the Damned

  • Haedrig Eamon: Mira, my love, forgive me...
  • Mira Eamon: Ahhh! Haedrig, help me!

  • Templar: I hear something stirring in the distance.

Upon entering Cemetery of the Forsaken

  • Templar: This will be rough.

Upon entering Defiled Crypt Level 1 - toggles only sometimes

Upon entering Defiled Crypt Level 2

  • Player (Barbarian): I am on the right path. The crown must be near.
  • Templar: The chancellor kept it safe for many years. A noble act.

Reign of the Black King

  • Dark Cultist: Ave, magistros. Ave, registrus. Ave, leodastrus. Ave, meridaxas. Illus animos. Illus vellenas. Illus fortens.

Upon engaging the Cultists

  • Dark Cultist: Maintain your incantations! He will soon turn...
  • Warrior: Your magic is weakening...
  • Warrior: I am free!
  • Warrior: Now, back to my mission.
  • Player: Who are you?
  • Warrior: You will know soon enough. Help me find my gear, I will reward you well.
  • Warrior: Tell me, what brought you to this infernal place?
  • Player: I go to face the Skeleton King.
  • Warrior: As do I.
  • Templar: Why have you come here, brother?
  • Warrior: One of our number has forsaken his vows and joined the demonic coven that infests this fallen cathedral.
  • Templar: Damn that traitor! We will make him pay.

Approaching the glowing crater

  • Warrior: The Cultists dragged me past this glowing pit. What made it?
  • Player: I've come here to find out.

Upon approaching the Templar's Stolen Items

  • Dark Cultist: He is free! Do not let him re-arm!

Upon opening the Templar's Stolen Items

  • Templar (NPC): If it is the Skeleton King you seek, then you will have to fight your way past Jondar. There is no reason we should hunt alone.
  • Player (Monk): I recognize that armor. You are a Templar, a holy warrior like myself.
  • Player (Monk): Agreed. Let us fight together.
  • Player (Barbarian): I know a templar can be trusted. Together we fight.
  • Player (Demon Hunter): I often prefer to be alone. But I will make an exception for you...
  • Player (Witch Doctor): No, there is not.
  • Player (Wizard): I suppose not. A strong spear at my side could prove helpful.
  • Templar (Follower): Evil cowers at the sight of just one templar. Two will bring it to his knees.

Upon encountering the barrier before Jondar

  • Templar: Black magic bars our way...
  • Templar: But the will of a templar is stronger!

Upon fighting Jondar

  • Templar: You were a templar, Jondar! How could you succumb to this Coven?
  • Jondar: The Coven is my brotherhood now, Kormac! The powers we serve will soon rule this world!
  • Jondar: Please forgive me. My vision was clouded by the Coven's evil magic.
  • Templar: (Disgust) Betrayal can never be forgiven.

Upon defeating Jondar

  • Templar: Thank you for your aid. I will go with you on your hunt for the Skeleton King, but there is one condition. If we find the sacred tomes of my order, they are mine.
  • Player (Barbarian): Agreed.
  • Player (Witch Doctor): Agreed.
  • Player (Demon Hunter): Very well. I have no need of books.
  • Player (Monk): Your books have no worth to me. They are yours.
  • Player (Wizard): That is agreeable. Though I wouldn't mind taking a look at them...

Upon the pillar encounter in The Royal Crypts

  • Skeleton King: You dare to bring the warmth of life into my tomb?
  • Templar: We shall put you down, hellspawn!

Upon starting the Skeleton King boss fight

  • Templar: You were defeated the moment you surrendered to madness!

Upon entering The Festering Woods

  • Templar: A tall dark evil infests these woods.

Talk Dialogue[]

From the moment the Templar is hired there is one talk option available, "Becoming a Templar".

Barbarian[]

  • Player (Barbarian): You don't speak of how you became a templar. Were you born to it?
  • Templar: No. Our scripture says, "As a farmer reaps his what, so must the order harvest and purify the weeds."
  • Player (Barbarian): So you were once a criminal?
  • Templar: Yes. And I am told our inquisitors had to bend quite a ways down to tear me from my sinful roots.

Demon Hunter[]

Becoming A Templar Available in the Quest: The Fallen Star (Act I)

  • Player (Demon Hunter): Were you raised as a templar in the order?
  • Templar: No. Our scripture says, "As a farmer reaps his what, so must the order harvest and purify the weeds."
  • Player (Demon Hunter): My initiation was less formal. They asked me if I wanted to hunt demons, and I said yes.
  • Templar: That would be simpler. But your order destroys monsters. Mine redeems them.


Sins Available at the start of the Quest: Data:Quests/The Broken Blade (Act I)

  • Player (Demon Hunter): I have seen enough monsters to know that you aren't one of them. Why do you feel guilty about your past?
  • Kormac (Templar): I cannot tell you.
  • Player (Demon Hunter): There are some things that will haunt you forever if you never speak of them.
  • Templar: You misunderstand me. We are literally unable to recall our pasts. The inquisitors stripped my sins and memory of them from me, leaving me pure.


Initiation Available at the start of the Quest: Data:Quests/Trailing the Coven (Act I)

  • Player (Demon Hunter): Tell me more of your order. Why do they steal your past?
  • Kormac (Templar): Our initiation blinds us to our sinful pasts so that we might clearly see the future and prepare for the final battle.
  • Player (Demon Hunter): By what magic does your order strip a man of his memory?
  • Kormac (Templar): I was chained to a wall and beaten. By the third day, I was mad from pain and hunger. That is when the whipping began.

I was told I relived all of my transgressions, everything that brought me tainted joy. The whip took away that joy, then the sin, leaving me pure.

  • Player (Demon Hunter): In the Teganze, corrupt priests sacrificed men for their personal gain. Even they did not expect the men to be grateful.
  • Kormac (Templar): Don't you understand? The templar order is trying to protect humanity from extinction. What is my pain against that goal?


Lessons Available at the start of the Quest: Data:Quests/The Imprisoned Angel (Act I)

  • Player (Demon Hunter): In my time, I have often argued with the spirits. I did not always believe that they knew the true path for me.
  • Kormac (Templar): I do not understand.
  • Player (Demon Hunter): No, you do not. When the spirits and I look at you, we agree. We say, "This is a good man. There is no darkness in him. There never was.

Confront what you call your sins, and I say you will find nothing there. Test your faith and prove me wrong.

  • Kormac (Templar): I... cannot lie. That has occurred to me. But if it were true, it would ruin everything I fight for. Everything!


Seeking the Truth Available at the start of the Quest: Data:Quests/The Road to Alcarnus (Act II)

  • Kormac (Templar): I have considered what we discussed, and you are correct. I know little about my past beyond what my order has told me.

But what does it matter? Look at what they have done for me. They have turned me into a living weapon, a light against the darkness.

  • Player (Demon Hunter): I am not sure that the darkness you speak of is not in the order you serve. You must be able to remember your past to know the truth.
  • Kormac (Templar): I wouldn't know how to begin. How do I seek memories that have been taken from me?
  • Player (Demon Hunter): Ground otatzo root would uncover every memory in your head. Or make you blind. It is a dangerous root.
  • Kormac (Templar): You may be right. I will find a way to take back my memories and exonerate my order.


A Dangerous Journal

  • Kormac (Templar): I have thought of a way to retrieve my lost memories, but it is dangerous. I must ask you to promise me something.

Should I... lapse into my old sins, whatever they may be, you must kill me as I killed Jondar.

  • Player (Demon Hunter): I still say I see no darkness in you, but tell me your plan.
  • Kormac (Templar): I found a journal on Jondar's corpse, written in an ancient templar cipher.

I can translate it, but it will take me some time. Perhaps studying his treachery will give me a clue into my past.

  • Player (Demon Hunter): Fear haunts your words. Why?
  • Kormac (Templar): Jondar was once a man of faith, devoted to the templar order. What if he discovered something that made him betray himself? It matters not, for I must do this anyway.


Confront Fears

  • Kormac (Templar): I have translated a strange passage from Jondar's journal. Long before he began serving Maghda, he found a set of what he called 'key words' hidden in a dusty libram.

He writes that when he read these words, memories from his past returned to torment him. It was at this point that he began to mistrust the order, though he did not say why. I am prepared to look upon these words and risk my soul, but I want you to understand something. I know that I may die at any time. When I do, it must be without a single doubt that I am serving the Light.

  • Kormac (Templar): Thank you, my friend. But please... remember your promise.


The Past Revealed

  • Kormac (Templar): I'm prepared to read these key words. I will turn the page.. How odd. They are simple words. Words that I have never seen together befo- uh...

I can see everything! Water on a leaf. A burning hut. Light in my mother's eyes. Make it stop! I... I... It's slowing now. I can... Oh no. No! I was a young man, a promising soldier of Westmarch. The order recruited me. They lied to me! Piled false sins upon me!

  • Kormac (Templar): I do not know, but I am sure this is why Jondar turned from the order.

He was a fool. The grand master cannot possibly know what his inquisitors have done. When I return the tomes, he will punish them for their sins. Please... I must think on this.


The Torn Page

  • Kormac (Templar): While examining Jondar's journal further, I found a torn page hidden within the binding. I believe that it is from one of the tomes I seek!

He has written notes in the border as well. Perhaps by studying them, I will learn where the tome is.

  • Kormac (Templar): It seems strange that Jondar would keep a page hidden. It is though it is the proof of a crime.

I have already found holes in my order's honor. What if there are more?


The Templar's Research

  • Kormac (Templar): No. I have learned something much more troubling. Judging by the borders, this is indeed a page from the tomes, but it does not contain prophecies.

It seems to be a set of instructions for the creation of magical weapons. But that is not the strangest part. I have seen the rune here before, on the bracers of Tyrael's armor.


The Truth

  • Kormac (Templar): Tyrael, examine this page. Tell me what you see.
  • Kormac (Templar): This is a page torn from the sacred tomes of my blessed order. The Light only knows what the others contain.
  • Kormac (Templar): Is it true?


  • Kormac (Templar): There is much difference between what I want and what I must do. Together, you and I will finish our work here. I owe you that.

But I tell you this: my faith is stronger than this betrayal. When we are done, I will return home and plunge my spear into the ground before the Vault of the Order. I will meet their champions until they answer for their sins and their lies. I will have justice.


Secrets of the Tome

  • Kormac (Templar): I keep thinking of the traitor Jondar. He had turned to evil, I have no doubt. But I wonder... would he have fallen as easily if the order had not betrayed him?

I knew he was troubled, but I said nothing. I saw his doubts as weakness, and when he submitted to Maghda, I thought my suspicions were confirmed. Perhaps... perhaps I could have saved him before it was too late.

  • Kormac (Templar): That is good to hear. Thank you.


The Templar's Lesson

  • Kormac (Templar): Wait. Before we face that abomination, there is something you should know.

When we first met. I thought you a primitive and dangerous savage. I was wrong. You are the most civilized person I have ever met.

  • Kormac (Templar): I will.


Adria's Betrayal

  • Kormac (Templar): Of all people, I should have seen this coming. I allowed myself to believe this... this fiction that Adria was other than I suspected her to be.

And now the world is lost, and it is my fault.


Shadows of the Coven

  • Kormac (Templar): Ever since Adria betrayed us, I have been thinking about how Maghda used to share the leadership of the Coven with another.
  • Kormac (Templar): Twenty years ago, just before the Darkening of Tristram, they had some sort of falling-out, and the other leader disappeared. I think that the other leader might have been Adria.

Wizard[]

  • Player (Wizard): How does one become a templar, anyway? Were you born to the order?
  • Templar: No. Our scripture says, "As a farmer reaps his what, so must the order harvest and purify the weeds."
  • Player (Wizard): That seems a little unfair. You are not a weed.
  • Templar: You speak out of kindness, but you do not understand. When they took me, they saved my life and my immortal soul.

Witch Doctor[]

  • Player (Witch Doctor): I do not know much of your order. Were you born a templar?
  • Templar: No. Our scripture says, "As a farmer reaps his what, so must the order harvest and purify the weeds."
  • Player (Witch Doctor): You say you are a weed. I think that even weeds have their purpose under the sun and moon.
  • Templar: No. They strangle. They corrupt. And the crop fails. I was lucky to be taken when I was.

Monk[]

  • Player (Monk): I do not know much of your order. Were you born a templar?
  • Templar: No. Our scripture says, "As a farmer reaps his what, so must the order harvest and purify the weeds."
  • Player (Monk): We have a similar verse. "Seek balance in all things. The absence of flood is drought. The impossibility of weeds is famine."
  • Player (Monk): If you are a weed, templar, you have found such a balance.
  • Templar: Not all people can be strong as you. I certainly was not.

Follower Dialogue[]

The followers themselves will converse with each other when waiting in town, however this appears to only happen between Kormac and Lyndon. (This might be because these two are so very different, and so one would wonder what they would talk about if forced to hang out with each other. Also, Kormac is attracted to Eirena, and around beautiful women Lyndon is... well... Lyndon.)

Scoundrel: You seem to think that my life is full of ease.
Templar: It is.
Scoundrel: Thievery is hard work. Priceless gems don't just leap into my pockets, you know!
Templar: You will stop stealing after a point, then?
Scoundrel: Anything's possible.


Scoundrel: The thing about being good and righteous or whatnot is that it sounds completely dull.
Templar: Nonsense. It is an honor for me to fulfill the vows of my order.
Templar: To serve faithfully and forgo the pleasures of the flesh.
Scoundrel: The flesh? Do you mean women? (Bursts out laughing)
Templar: (Exasperated) Someone like you couldn't possibly understand!


Scoundrel: What is your deepest wish?
Templar: (Revertently) To serve my order valorously.
Scoundrel: Oh.
Templar: You sound disappointed.
Scoundrel: My wish is to be incredibly wealthy and surrounded by beautiful women. Yours is simply lacking by comparison.


Templar: The order would never forgive me for falling in with a thief.
Scoundrel: I bet they don't forgive a lot of things. And anyway, no one said you had to like me.
Templar: Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.


Scoundrel: What happened with Jondar? He was of your order, yet he betrayed you? So much for all those fine morals.
Templar: His soul was not strong enough to bear the cultists' torture.
Scoundrel: (Reasonably) Few are. He is not to blame for that.
Templar: Of course he is! A templar's will must be stronger than his shield. I will tell the order of his failings, and his name will be blackened. He will never be spoken of again.


Scoundrel: How did you let Jondar trap you as he did? You don't seem that stupid.
Templar: For once, you are right. I was a fool. I saw the signs that he was falling from the Light, but I had admired him for so long.
Scoundrel: You did not think it was possible.
Templar: I did not. Now I know that no one is safe from corruption.


Scoundrel: Tell me of your "glorious" order.
Templar: We seek the sacred tomes that were stolen by Archbishop Lazarus.
Scoundrel: (Flippantly) Oh? What's in them? Naughty illustrations, perhaps?
Templar: No! They contain prophecies of the end times. Without them, we are lost.
Scoundrel: But they have been gone for twenty years, and you survive.
Templar: And we will survive a thousand more if we must, but the tomes will return to us.
Scoundrel: Must be spectacularly naughty, then.
Templar: (Disgusted) Your heresy is intolerable!


Scoundrel: Wait. If the tomes contained all these prophecies, wouldn't your order already know what place they ended up in?
Templar: What?
Scoundrel: They didn't even read the damn things, did they? Otherwise they would know where to look.
Templar: I never thought of that.


Templar: You must be wrong about the tomes.
Scoundrel: (Light sarcasm) Me? Wrong? Never.
Templar: The prophecies would be concerned with more important things than the books' location.
Scoundrel: So they're incomplete.
Templar: Not at all! They just have the most... important parts.


Templar: How do you feel about our undertaking?
Scoundrel: (Matter-of-factly) Very dangerous.
Templar: (Suspiciously) Then why are you here?
Scoundrel: (Satisfied) With great danger comes great profit.


Scoundrel: So why are you here, templar?
Templar: I swore an oath.
Scoundrel: Surely our friend would have helped you without such an oath.
Templar: Not to our friend. To my order. I mean to recover the lost tomes.
Scoundrel: Do you always do what they tell you to?
Templar: Of course! You have no honor and would not understand.


Act II[]

Scoundrel: Come now. An oath shouldn't prevent you from speaking to half of the people you meet.
Templar: I speak to women all the time!
Scoundrel: No. What you do is called mumbling--and sheepishly at that.


Templar: You, scoundrel. Have you seen my amulet?
Scoundrel: Never.
Templar: You've never seen it?
Scoundrel: No, and I've never seen your dagger either.
Templar: My dagger? Why, it's missing too!


Templar: What sort of man steals from a templar?
Scoundrel: I would never be caught stealing from you.
Templar: I find that hard to believe.
Scoundrel: I'd have to be incompetent to get caught.

Random Dialogue[]

Random discussion with Leah

Templar: A hard road ahead. I am pleased to have you with us.
Leah: I'm not sure how much use I'll be.
Templar: You have a good heart and a strong mind. That is all that matters.

Random discussion with Leah

Leah: Templar, I think I saw you at an inn several months ago.
Templar: Ah, that is likely. I have journeyed a long way.
Leah: You were extremely polite, but tipped poorly, I am told.
Templar: We should pick up the pace.

Random discussion with Leah

  • Player (Demon Hunter): Are there any women in your order?
Templar: Well, no.
Leah: Shouldn't the templar welcome anyone who wishes to fight evil?
Templar: That is a fascinating idea. I will mention it to the leaders.

Random discussion

Templar: How are criminals treated in your land?
  • Player (Barbarian): There are none left to catch them. All has fallen to chaos.
Templar: It grieves me to hear that.

Random discussion

Templar: How are criminals treated in your land?
  • Player (Wizard): They appear before a magistrate and then are thrown in prison.
  • Player (Witch Doctor): They are banished.
  • Player (Demon Hunter): They are given three days' food and water, then banished.
  • Player (Monk): Often i am sent to find them and punish them.
Templar: How odd. In the order, they are just executed.

Random discussion

Templar: I do not understand how evil walks in the day. Should it not fear the light?
  • Player (Barbarian): Perhaps the sun is neutral.
  • Player (Demon Hunter): If it is truly evil, it does not care.
  • Player (Witch Doctor): Good and evil deeds are performed under the sun as well.
  • Player (Monk): Evil knows not day or night.
Templar: But the Light is both a literal and figurative foe of evil!

Random discussion

Templar: I am glad that fate has brought us together on this path.
  • Player (Barbarian): Why is that?
  • Player (Demon Hunter): Why is that?
  • Player (Witch Doctor): Why is that?
Templar: You fight with both honor and ferocity. I know that a pure soul must burn within you.

Random discussion

Templar: Are you ever afraid in battle?
  • Player (Demon Hunter): If I ever felt fear, it has been consumed by my hatred.
  • Player (Monk): Fear is born of uncertainty. The gods give me direction.
  • Player (Barbarian): True warriors overcome their fear.
Templar: We are both blessed, then. My faith armors me against fear.

Random discussion

Templar: Are you ever afraid in battle?
  • Player (Witch Doctor): Fear is a part of life. If you live, you fear.

Random discussion

Templar: There are forces arrayed against us that are stronger than we ever imagined.
Templar: Some greater purpose lies behind these trials, but I do not yet know it.
  • Player (Wizard): It is destiny. Let us keep moving.
  • Player (Monk): The gods keep their secrets close.
