THE TALAMASCA
Investigators of the Paranormal
We watch And are always here.
London Amsterdam Rome

The Talamasca, meaning "Animal Mask" from the Latin, are a secret society, set up, as their calling card says, to watch the paranormal in action. The name Talamasca was also an old term to describe a witch or a shamen. Their basements are filled with records of phenomena such as Witches, Spirits, Werewolves and of course Vampires. Welcoming people with paranormal powers to visit them, occasionally they become aware of individuals with particularly strong powers, these people are investigated and offered a place with their group, but are not obliged to accept the position, though almost invariably they will.
The Talamasca demand complete obedience, loyalty and devotion from their members.

The Talamasca Caste (or Talamasca Order or simply Talamasca) is described as a secret society set up to watch over and keep track of the paranormal, in particular, witches, spirits, werewolves and vampires. Rice describes them as "psychic detectives".

The word Talamasca comes from Latin meaning "animal mask". It was also an old term to describe a witch or a shaman.

The Talamasca's cardinal rule is "Observe, but never interfere."

The Talamasca itself was described in Rice's novels as having "motherhouses" or bases in London, New Orleans, Amsterdam and other various parts of the world. The organization is said to have existed since the 1st Century.

The organization itself was described as having many influences in the suppression of paranormal information, namely the existence of vampires as the case with Lestat, hoarding most of his diaries and other expository items that may have revealed the existence and nature of vampires in its vaults below the main motherhouse in London, England. Beneath the building are a number of museums in which the Talamasca house a substantial collection of artifacts, all connected with the supernatural in some way. Vaults accessible only by the eldest members of the order house paraphernalia connected with vampires. The Talamasca also housed several paintings of Marius's "The Temptation of Amadeo", and other artifacts from vampires such as Pandora, Armand, Louis and Claudia.

David Talbot, Superior General of the Talamasca is responsible for tracking down a number of Marius's paintings throughout history, devoting much of his mortal life to Marius's experimentalism through different mediums and styles. David first noticed that that the painter always painted the same figure, who never seemed to age.

The organization is also responsible for the suppression and cover-up regarding the Mayfair family's fiasco concerning the Taltos birth anomaly. It may also have been responsible for covering the burning of the "Theater of the Vampires".

Many vampiric characters from Rice's novels once belonged to the Talamasca before accepting the "dark gift". Jesse, David and Merrick, are the most popular of Rice's ex-Talamasca characters. The Talamasca Order also appear in Ann Rice's Witching Hour (1991), a tale of the Mayfair Witches.

The Talamasca has become the focus of several websites and role-playing games, as have many of Rice's characters.

A similar secret society appears in the Highlander: The Series and Buffy the Vampire Slayer - the Watcher's Council or Watchers - an ancient organisation based in Great Britain and with much the same principles: to track and observe immortals.

Answer 4

Ghost souls. Have the power to enslave any living being, and demand anything from it. Nasty sh*t! Don't mess around with them. My syster was taken over by one of these shamans. She died. Do not even get near one!
Hope you didn't do the stupid thing of getting in vontact with a Talamasca.
Hope to hear from u soon, ok?
P.S.: get a talisman, a jewle that you mother or father love maybe a pendant. It will help but not for long. If they summon the Wolves, you're dead.

Answer 5

Anne Rice created this out of her imagination.I have read all of her books. that's not to say that there's not a group (or groups)committed to searching out and studying the paranormal.that may even be calling themselves "the Talamasca"..the occult and studies of the paranormal are becoming more widely excepted and pursued by interested parties.all aspects are being explored, as in the celestial prophecy, and ghost hunters. there's such a wide range.... we know that there are unexplained phenomenon and things that happen that people want to know more about. as far as trying to find Lestat, his portraits -and Claudia's diary
they are in the Talamasca.............

Answer 6

I think it just is an Anne Rice creation. Like how H.P. Lovecraft using the Necronomicon in several stories made people think there was really a Necronomicon.

Answer 7

Talamasca is a psytrance project based in Paris, France.

Answer 8

The Talamasca is an occult society that observes and documents vampire activity and is the buffer between the vampire community and all governments.

Answer 9

I truly believe in paranormal things! It makes since that the Talamasca does exist.
