Full Name:
Arthur Vi Excalibur
Age:
253 - During the early ages of mans ascention into the god hood of technology Arther, or whatever he was named before his entrance into the Knight's Holy Cross, he was old, far too old, over a hundred, he was blessed with a long life, however he wanted more, he wanted to more time to serve, what to serve was unknown to him. As an old man he was the perfect experiment for the prototypal engineering of extending ones lifespan through whatever technological advancements possible, through his long age he was wisdom, through the engineering and technology of man he has recieved the blessing of immortality and immortal youth.
Race:
Human - In the eyes of the Knight's Holy Cross order, the race of man is a holy race, one is allowed to mixture, prototype and alter, however never to replace the life spark with engineering, whilst removing a soul and mind with the technology of which is present now, it is still blasphamy in the eyes of any knight and the usage of AI is also an act of heresy in the very eyes of the knights.
Appearance:
The appearence of a Knight of the Holy Cross order is placed under the utter most secrecy, whilst they are rarely seen outside of their armour or their robes, it is still a heretical act of unobedience to act against the Knight Commander or the High Priest and the way you do so is to not follow with tradition, many knight's have openly given their lives for execution at the slightest flinch of breaking tradition or being unobedient. However if you take Arthur as an example, a slight slim of white hair can be seen coming down from the confines of the shadow of the robe and into the light of the sun, hair without color, dead hair, artificial hair.
Personality:
The personality of Arthur is hidden under the shroud of the Meditation Robe. However, much like anyone who has power in their very grasp, fingers wrapped around everything they wish and with the capability to raze a building with a single word, he takes himself like a god, a divine being, recieved ascention into godhood through act, order and blessings. Whilst the position of a god is not the religious icon in the Knight's Holy Cross, the worshiping is placed upon the High Priest and the Knight Commander of the order, they are taken like the gateways to peace, to ruin, to equality. Arthur having faced deaths doorstep before, and lives on the very foot of his door every moment of his life, thanks to this the facination with death has struck strong within him, and through the creation of the Knight's Holy Order, or well, ascention through the ranks, he has transformed the order into a more death directed order, working for the united death of men, they honestly believe that with every shot taken another life has been blessed into the afterlife.
Whilst it is morbid and completely insane in others eyes the entire order is revolved around it, worship death like a paradise, but they look upon themselves as the unselfish, so they bless others with the afterlife. Traditions and situations dictate how they will bring them there, but in the end, they will. The total meaning of the order has changed and the newest one is written within a great artifact known as the Iron Biblicon, a copy of the holy book is carried into battle by a Priest of War when taken into battle. But other then that, Arthur and the entire order of which he commands revolve around faith in death, and their lives are controlled by tradition, aswell.
However, the blessing of death is not brought upon the alien species, instead a seperate, cursed round is brought upon them, with the greatest precision they are to be shot twice in the chest and once in the head without delay, with the slightest delay and the heaven of the afterlife will be blighted with the unjust, unwanted and unclean. The worst of aliens in the Knight's Holy Cross order are the Scyvi, blighting themselves and ridding themselves of the color of skin is the worst of crimes, trying to hide their unclean selves with a pure and see-through skin.
History:
Arthur Vi Excalibur has lived for as long as anyone in the Knight's Holy Cross can remember, he was there when they joined and is here to current day. He cannot remember his past, however nothing interesting happened anyway, he has been alive for a long time, most call it a curse, to live whilst others die, however he takes it as a blessing, to pass judgement onto the unworthy and send the worthy to the afterlife. What he was during the early times of his life is uncertain, maybe he was a cerial killer, a soldier or even a politician? It is all uncertain, because the entrance into the order removes past and rebirths you into life anew.
His life as a Knight in the already well established order known as the Knight's Holy Cross was all in order to take it upon his controll, through the reconstruction and extension of his life he looks as if he is in the early 20-30s, however his age is far above, his entrance into the order was, as previously stated, to take it over for himself ,to reconstruct it with his wishes above all others, made it more established in the bringing of death and such things. After a rather short time in the order he ascended into the Knight Commander's position, the leader of the order and all it's members. He remade the order and what it fought about, however didn't change it enough to loose respect or interest from the other knight's who are serving under his command and the other members who are in the economical and political departments of the order itself.
Since the order is a hugely rich orginization placed in both shadow and light, there was nothing that they couldn't buy. The soldiers are of the finest quality, nothing but the best and the most devoted, no weapon was to high quality and no armour was too strong. The order even has it's own research branch that developes technology to serve, ultimately the knight's of the Knight's Holy Cross, the Red Cross Corps' very own military. The Knight's Holy Cross is controlling the Red Cross corps, but in the publics eye the Knight's Holy Cross is nonexistant, a typical controversy without any fact to support the claim.
During these times of day, however, the Knight's Holy Cross is upon the lips of the civilians more then anytime in the past. They are like a nightmare, murders of criminals and civilians alike spread without any murder found to place justice upon, such events, whilst the Knight's of the Knight's Holy Cross order are seen occationally, the only thing that could be spotted are the white capes with the black cross going across the entire cloak, tradition is to stay hidden, secret and act like sudden and devestating death, and so they shall. The identities are to be hidden, if not, execution awaits within Temple Tower.
Occupation:

Augments:
Just like any other Knight of the order, Arthur has augmented his arms and legs and several organs in the stomach area to allow him increased physical superiority over his enemies, whilst the Knight's armour is incredibly hard to manuever and even walk with, so therefor the leg's have been replaced with unexhaustable leg pieces, they also make a knight taller, the average knight is atleast two meters, Arthur on the other hand is two-thirty, his arms are filled with magazines for the Retribution Pattern chaingun in the left and right arms of his armour, so, only put on the armour and your set for the ammunition, the upper torso is also a kind of ammunition storage for the railgun on the back, through the use of a chain feeder from the back and into the weapon there is no need for reloading for the railgun either. The organs are replaced and improved so that soldiers can keep themselves from eating for longer periods of time aswell as increasing stamina and physical strenght.
Other:
Whilst the Knight's Holy Cross act against the law, there is no warrant against them and the police are always 'late' to the site of murder. Investigations end up failed or a fake murderer had been taken and placed upon justice. This causes public terror, especially in the lower slums and surprisingly large amounts in the higher class aswell, actually, the further underground you go, the more you hear the word Knight's Holy Cross appear, people dare not speak in the open about them, but what they don't know, is that they know.
I can see their merit in close quarters though, and with an ancient organization such as the Knights Templar it is only right they have their own piece of history.
