Juan Franco Federico is the high grand master or "El Lider Glorioso" of the Order of the Righteous Spear,[1a] the largest of the Cult of Myrmidia's templar orders. Its knights are tasked with guarding the cult's temples.[1b]
Federico is an Estalian said to have a firm grip on the order and is thought to be eying an invasion of Araby once more.[2a]
The Order of the Righteous Spear is one of the largest orders of templars in the Old World. Most of their number is spread through Estalia and Tilea, but chapter houses can be found in the Empire, Bretonnia, the Border Princes and even Araby.[1b]
In the Empire, they have not spread any further than the Myrmidian temples that they protect and support, but the order is slowly gaining in popularity. The order is split into many minor orders, each of which has its own grand master and unique name, but they are all still answerable to the Glorious Leader (El Lider Glorioso in Estalian), who leads the order from Magritta.[1b]
Each grand master of the order in the Empire can be commanded by the Eagle of the North, although the Glorious Leader of the order can override these commands if he so wishes.[1b]
