Vanus is a Latin word meaning literally, "empty, unsubstantial" or "boastful, untrustworthy", and figuratively, "groundless, meaningless".
The '''Vanus Temple''' is one of the assassin temples of the [[Officio Assassinorum]].<sup>1</sup> They are intelligence-gatherers, in matters of strategy and tactics their insight is unparalleled. They often assassinate their targets indirectly using their intelligence and knowledge to bring down targets. [[Fon Tariel]], an infocyte of Clade Vanus during the Horus Heresy noted that: 'the cleanest kill is one that another performs in your stead with no knowledge of your incitement.'<sup>2</sup>
