Similar to the other Clades, the Vanus were formed during the age of the [[Great Crusade]] by a secret pact at Mount Vengeance on [[Terra]] consisting of the five other primary Clades that sought to eliminate the enemies of the [[Emperor]] in the shadows. Their founder was Sire Vanus who served as the Director Primus of the Clade and served under the [[Malcador (Character)|secret]] [[Grand Master of Assassins|Master of Assasins]].{{Fn|2a}}
During the outbreak of the [[Horus Heresy]], the Clades met at the [[Shrouds]] where Sire Vanus revealed that his assassins' predictive engines along with their most diligent infocytes concluded that the [[Venenum Temple|Venenum Clade]]'s assassin [[Tobeld]]'s survival to complete his mission to eliminate [[Horus]] was zero point two percent. The margin of error was reported to be negligible and marked an improvement in proximity to the renegade [[Primarch]] compared to all the previous Officio Assassinorum operations.{{Fn|2a}}
