Jan Templar

Captain Jan Templer is the main protagonist of Killzone and Killzone: Liberation.

He is a Special Forces Captain, and a born leader.

He is called into the fight by General Vaughton.

He and Luger used to be in an intimate relationship, but after seeing how much Luger had changed, she now is a colder, more calculated person. ("Trained to think, not feel. Act, instead of reflect," as Hakha puts it.)

Just before the events of Killzone, it is revealed that an attempt was made on his life in the manual, although it does not specify why or by whom.

According to the manual, the assassination attempt was made with an ISA sniper rifle "stolen recently from an SD Platform reserve munitions store".

This has led some players to believe that General Adams (or someone under his command) was the culprit.

He can handle almost all situations, and can handle all forms of ISA weaponry well.

He can use Helghast weaponry fairly well too, these attributes makes him a versatile soldier capable of adapting to different situations.

He highlights his vital importance to holding a besieged Vekta's defences with an epic display during the invasion of his homdland, perhaps most stirringly when tensions between in his new unit escalate after a brutal battle at the docks between Hakha and Rico where Templar furiously yells that for them to survive the slim odds, they need to work as a team, and is constantly keeping the unit bonded together.

He has a habit of quoting movies and TV shows during battle (i.e. "You feel lucky?" "I love it when a plan comes together!" from the Dirty Harry movies and the A-team, respectively).

He returns (non-playable) as a Colonel in Killzone 2 and the commander of the ISA Cruiser New Sun from which the ISA will commence the Operation Archangel, which is seizing control of Helgan and arresting Scolar Visari.

Templar has been ordered to coordinate the ISA assault on Helghan and to capture Visari alive.

Privately, after all he has been through, he has doubts about how prepared the ISA is for a prolonged offensive, but Templar has become the poster boy for the war and must toe the political line.

He would rather be fighting with his men on the front line.

Templar is killed by Colonel Radec on the bridge of the New Sun, but before he dies he successfully crashes the New Sun into Tharsis Refinery, cutting off power in Pyrrhus and the arc tower there.

Templar has had a militaristic lineage; his father was an ISA soldier (K.I.A) while his godfather was General Vaughan (K.I.A) who recruited him early and Templar exceeded his blistering potential as an extremely sophisticated soldier.
