One issue the order ended in 1312, but it was not active from
1307. I would assume that the youngest members would have been
16 at the time which means that in 1361 the minimal age would
have 67. The average age of templar would have been probably
in the mid late twenties, thus one would be looking at 67+
probably 75 year old templar. The number of 67 year old ex-
templar in 1361 which kept secret runes and persisted in the
craft would have been rare to non-existent. Such an individual
showing up in Minnisota, we would need our 'infinite
improbability drive'.
