Anne Rice's the Talamasca

The Talamasca group's official motto, which they printed on their business cards, was "We watch and we are always here." or in the original Latin, "Spectamus et semper ibi sumus" . Rice found the word "Talamasca" in a history book, learning it meant "animal mask" in Latin. (In some cultures, it meant witch or shaman.)
