Any one here watch Dr. Who? It turns out a few years ago they introduced an enemy called "The silence" as well. I was just wondering if anyone thought there were very many similarities with Arcanis Silence? The fact that they make everyone who meets them forget them as soon as they are out of sight seems like as much mental/psionic power as can be portrayed in a television show, and they seem to be trying to bring about a silent end of the universe or something similar, so in means, methods, and goals they seemed pretty similar. No mouth though, and definitely don't eat brains, so the physical similarity is low.

other than coincidence of name, I don't find all that much in common with the two organizations methods. the silence in arcanis operates by hidden means and subterfuge rather than blatant everyone that meets them forgets them psionic powers.
