The Templar Knights of Aurora, also called the Albion Knights of Aurora, is a group that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. They were an ancient order of knights from the Echidna city of Albion who were dedicated to the Mobian goddess Aurora.

History[]

AlbionKnights

The Templar Knights of Aurora fighting in the Forgotten War, from Sonic the Hedgehog #163.

They existed approximately 9,700 years ago. They were the only force on Mobius that was technologically advanced enough to counter the early rise of Mammoth Mogul and his Order of Ixis during the Order's bid for world domination. The Albion Knights successfully destroyed all but four members of the Order of Ixis in the Forgotten War: the sorcerers Nusgau, Agunus, and Suguna (who would later merge to become Ixis Naugus), and Mogul himself. Their battles with the Order threatened all of Mobius, and eventually the Knights forsook their valor and set out to stop the Ixians by committing crimes against nature on all battle fronts.[1][2][3]

Trivia[]

  • It is possible that the efforts of the Albion Knights to stop the Order of Ixis are the "secret sins of Albion" referred to by Dr. Finitevus in Sonic Universe #12.
  • The group's second name of Templar Knights obviously comes from the historical Knights Templar, who took part in the Crusades of the Middle Ages.
