Twilight of the Idols
Constantine Stark was the Leader of the Templars and the fourth incarnation of Admiral Constanza Stark. He was known as the Patriarch by his troops as well as his allies.
In 100 AFC, a group of Templar were exiled from the Templars for their radical views of genetic purity. Stark personally cast them out, as they were too deranged and could not be reasoned with. They went on to form the radical group known as the Knights of Genetic Purity. According to the Systems Commonwealth Minister of War, Jane Rollins, he has very good connections with the leaders of over 20 Commonwealth Signatory worlds.
By C.Y. 10088, Stark soon revealed himself to Dylan when he and Tyr were surrounded by the Knights of Genetic Purity. He had his soldiers kill every last Knights of Genetic Purity, no survivors. He came to assist Dylan in taking a Knights of Genetic Purity base where he claims that a virus designed to destroy all genetically enhanced humans is located. However, when the base is captured, Dylan confronts him that the virus was actually supposed to target Nietzscheans. Stark then revealed his intentions to use the virus as a deterrent to liberate all the slave worlds controlled by Nietzscheans. Hunt points out that Stark would never agree to something like this but Constantine revealed his identity as Admiral Constanza Stark. He warned Dylan that he has a bomb on the Maru and he would never sacrifice Beka. Dylan was forced to leave but returned, bringing along the Knights of Genetic Purity to force Stark into a corner; either he destroy the base or let it fall back into the Knights of Genetic Purity hands. He chose the former but Dylan wasn't going to let him leave. Stark warns his old student that if he is captured, someone will set him free. If vice versa and Stark kills Dylan, then everything he worked for will fall. Dylan lets him go as the base explodes.
Stark later hijacked the Eureka Maru and forced Harper to create a time window to allow future troops of his to come to the present. Unfortunately, instead of new Templar, evolved Magog came instead, having annihilated the troops in the future. Rev Bem's great grandson kills Stark, ending his life.
