Heroism isn't defined by strength or fighting, though. Whereas "templar" is a very specific term, separate from even "paladin." A templar is a soldier of the church. A templar can be heroic, and a hero can be a templar, but the two aren't beholden. A paladin may or may not be a templar.

A more appropriate term might be "champion." Said janitor could button up and fight Mamono and he would be championing a cause. He might or might not be a templar, hero, or paladin.
