====Venatori Umbrorum====
The Hunters in the Shadows or the Hunters of the Shadows depending on the translation, although it is more accurate to call them "The Shadows of the Hunters" (See Venatori below). A secret society composed of humans with a lot of knowledge about the supernatural but not a lot  of magic power. Dedicated to fighting monsters that prey on humans and pretty good in an actual fight, but they mainly specialize in preventing the (complete) corruption of human government and laws by supernatural predators, hoarding knowledge, and distributing knowledge to others in order to be able protect themselves. Also very good at waging financial war on various supernatural entities, making it much harder for the more chaotic and predatory supernatural factions to hoard mortal wealth. Basically lawyer/librarians with a working knowledge of the supernatural and lots of flamethrowers.

*'''Venatori''': The original hunters, and the reason the Venatori Umbrorum exist. The '''Venatori''' exist to combat a loose coalition of beings collectively referred to as the Old Ones (yes, ''those'' Old Ones), in a conflict called the Oblivion War that has been going since the dawn of humanity. They do this by wiping out all mortal awareness of an Old One and thusly consigning him/her/it to Oblivion. The Archive was created to lead this war and her reason for existing that's given in the main books is her cover story. (These guys only show up in the Short Story '''Backup'''). The Venatori Umbrorum were created as a smokescreen for these guys due to the fact that they are fucking with Elder Gods and their cult servants. Fun-Fact: the Venatori almost consigned the Faerie Courts to Oblivion, but Mab got the Brothers Grimm to write their Tales, and Gutenberg to distribute them leading to the Fae being firmly ensconced in the public consciousness. The White Court has either been recruited or has at least partly subsumed this organization, though the reason for either is the same: to drive out competition for the top of the food chain. The Archive, as a construct bound to a set of specific rules, cannot intervene and is relegated to providing information to the Venatori. TL;DR: Les Mysteres + Keepers of the Source + Division Six
