There was a threefold division of the ranks of the Templars: the noble knights, the non-noble sergeants, and the chaplains.
The Templars did not perform knighting ceremonies, so any knight wishing to become a Knight Templar had to be a knight already.
They were the most visible branch of the order, and wore the famous white mantles to symbolise their purity and chastity.
They were equipped as heavy cavalry, with three or four horses and one or two squires. Squires were generally not members of the Order but were instead outsiders who were hired for a set period of time.
Beneath the knights in the Order and drawn from non-noble families were the sergeants. They brought vital skills and trades such as blacksmithing and building, and administered many of the Order's European properties. In the Crusader States, they fought alongside the knights as light cavalry with a single horse.
From 1139, chaplains constituted a third Templar class. They were ordained priests who cared for the Templar's' spiritual needs. All three classes of brother wore the Order's red cross patty.
