Vanus is an Assassin temple of the Officio Assassinorum in Warhammer 40,000. The Vanus are the intelligence gathering division of the Assassinorum, specializing in using humans augmented to collect and analyze data and find traitors to the Imperium of Man. They also specialize in arranging "unfortunate accidents" that will remove said traitors without anyone being aware of the Assassinorum's involvement. However, this focus on data analysis leaves no room for actual physical training in assassination, leaving them extremely vulnerable in the "field".
Contemporary cyberwarfare, & also mobbing, trolling, and lurking through the internet can be seen as ancestral relatives of the "getting information" aspect of the Vanus Temple.
