Past[]
Califora was one of Patch Officiants responsible for the Shaman Fight in AD 1500. After Fra YVS won and became Shaman King, the Officiants were caught off guard when their fellow Officiant Hydro revealed himself to be a reincarnated Asakura Hao, as well as having stolen the Spirit of Fire.[2] Califora and his fellow Officiants converted to YVS' religion, following the tribe's laws, and became the Knights Templar.
During the 500 years in the Great Spirit, the Knights Templar became a biker gang and opened the bar, Patcy Cat.[5]
Flowers[]
Through dimensional shifting, the Knights Templar were manifested physically into the world. After Thorim retrieved a piece of YVS' power from Asakura Yohkyo, the Knights escorted Kamogawa Yohsuke to Kyoto Tower for the meeting of Team YVS.[6]
On the night of the ritual, the Knights sat outside Kyoto Tower in order to keep people away from it.[1] When they were approached by Asakura Hana, Thorim took the fight down into an underground tunnel, while Califora, Rin, and Krypt took positions around the area in order to monitor the situation.[4] Eventually the police came to investigate the commotion and the hole in the ground. Despite the deaths of their fellow Knights, the three stayed focus on their mission of preventing Hana from reaching the tower. However, Team Marcos confronted the Knights and insisted on Hana's progression.[7]
