At the beginning of the movie, Jeremy is seen wearing a knight's helmet. The helmet is also seen later in the movie when Chris is in Jeremy's car. Jordan Peele explained that the helmet is representative of the family's connection the the ancient Knights Templar. The family, as well as the various Caucasian guests that attend the party are all members of an order which had broken away from the Knights Templar and spent centuries perfecting the Coagula Procedure in an effort to gain immortality. The Knights Templar were a powerful group of Knights tasked with the protection of Christian pilgrims. Their power and influence grew, but political competition ultimately caused their sudden elimination, and their influence had quickly transitioned into irrelevance. Because the initiation of the order was secretive and because it surprises so many over the ages that the order was eliminated so quickly, speculation, legends, and fictions have been created down the ages, lending way for Peele's conception of a mysterious ancient order with a connection to history.
