The Basic soldier of the Knights Teutonicus. They are equipped in a lesser fashion then regular knights and in most aspects replace the Custduo for this legion (Seeing as they are on far off crusades far from the empire's borders and beyond reinforcements)

They come in two types:

Sword Brethren:

The basic foot soldier and nothing more then a conscript to bulk up the legions numbers and serve as light infantry or more specialized roles. They are given light combat armor and basic rifles and of course a short sword. They are not allowed to wear the eagle holding the cross upon their armor (The symbol of the legion)

Sword Brethren, Adherent:

Now these guys are different they are Squires who seek to one day become knights. Each Knight is Given 5 Adherents to train so one day they may join the knights on their great crusade.

A Squire may one day become a knight. To do so he must first train and then serve under a knight till he is deemed worthy. When the day comes he will head to the Black Chapel and become a knight. He will then be dubbed by the Sword of Virtue and placed upon his armor is the holy cross of the order (A black cross medal type thing)

Squires in essence are a reserve force while also being the medium infantry of the order. They are given good armor (Although not to the quality of a full knight) a sword and a rifle of sorts.

There are a few different squires beyond the basic squire of a knight:

Chaplin Squire:

The Squires of the Chaplains. They are to one day become Chaplains themselves. In their dubbing ceremony they are given a golden rod upon which a double headed eagle sits holding the cross (A Aquila)

Paladin Squire:

The Paladins are the best of the order thus they get the best of the new recruits who will one day become Paladins (A knight can never become a Paladin and a Paladin can never become a Knight)
