"Dei kardum porta animus potentium" - "Doubly cursed in living death"
  — Caduca's reading and Gamall's Translation


Final cutscene 10

Gargoyle Statue with Glyph as seen in the Final TDS Cutscene

The 'Animus' Glyph appears to be a Glyph which grants the power of semi-life to unliving things. Gamall used it to animate her statue minions by imprinting it on their foreheads.[1]

Notes[]

  • The word 'Animus' is Latin meaning 'spirit' or 'mind', but in modern English can mean motivation or hostility. In Thief, Gamall's translation seams to hint that it might mean 'living'.[2]
  • The true name of this Glyph is currently known. In light of the meaning of Animus and the context's it is used in Thief, it may be named Animus Glyph.
