* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: The Brotherhood of the Lamb. They '''created''' [[The Hashshashin]] and [[Nazi Germany|the Nazis]]....
* [[Walking the Earth]]: What Casca is cursed to do until Jesus comes again.▼
* [[Beat Still My Heart]]: In ''Casca: God of Death'', Casca is sacrificed by pre-Aztecs who cut out his heart ... which keeps beating. And beating. And then Casca stands up, takes his heart out of the priest's hand, and sticks it back into the gaping hole in his chest. When he announces, "No more human sacrifices," nobody dares to argue very hard.
* [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]: Remember, Casca's fought in every major war for the past ''2000 years''. Meeting guys like Hitler, Ghenghis Kahn, Atilla the Hun, Blackbeard, Montezuma, or-what-have you is practically a ''given''.▼
* [[But You Screw One Goat!]]: The second book has a moment when Casca insults an invading king, calling him a "molester of dogs and little boys." The king is not only angered, but astonished. ''How did he know about the dogs?''
▲* [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]: Remember, Casca's fought in every major war for the past ''2000 years''. Meeting guys like Hitler,
* [[Lodged Blade Recycling]]: As might be expected given Casca's curse, getting stabbed in the back doesn't significantly slow him down. In one of the books, the sword's point came out through his chest. That time, he didn't even bother pulling the blade out of himself. He just turned around and gave his terrified enemy a '''big''' hug.
* [[Long Runner]]: 34 novels since 1979, and still going. It seems the series might keep going to the Second Coming, just like Casca.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: An old friend, who was a young boy when Casca first met him, is mortally wounded in battle, living just long enough for some affectionate last words. Casca prays to Christ that his friend be received into eternal peace. When he can't help adding the wish that '''he''' will die soon, he seems to hear Jesus' voice telling him, "When We Meet Again" -- this time sounding sad....
▲* [[Walking the Earth]]: What Casca is cursed to do until Jesus comes again.
