Notes and trivia[]

  • The term "Prima Illuminatus" first appeared in Prima's guide for Deus Ex (in the character description for Stanton Dowd, but not necessarily associating this title with Dowd). The term appeared again in Prima's guide for Deus Ex: Invisible War, and later in Deus Ex: Black Light.
  • "Prima Illuminatus" appears to be Pseudo-Latin for "first Illuminatus" or "supreme enlightened." In proper Latin, the term "prima" should instead be "primus" in order to match the grammatical gender of "illuminatus."
