=== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ===
* Of the three Roivases, Edward's got the most magick, Max has the most health, and Alex has the most sanity. However, this is ironic
** Max has the most health, and thus the most ''power'', but was driven mad. Chattur'gha represents power and normally beats Xel'lotath
** Edward was the smartest of the three, and had the most ''knowledge'', but he was eliminated by the ''power'' of another Ancient. Ulyaoth, who represents knowledge, beats Chattur'gha (power) in the normal pattern. He's also tied for the smallest [[Life Meter]] in the game.▼
▲** Edward was the smartest of the three, and had the most ''knowledge'', but he was eliminated by the ''power'' of another Ancient. Ulyaoth, who represents knowledge, beats Chattur'gha (power) in the normal pattern.
** Alex is the most stable and level-headed of the three, but she {{spoiler|has a [[Heroic BSOD]]}} because of the ''knowledge'' that {{spoiler|she just released another [[Eldritch Abomination]] on the world}}, reversing how Xel'lotath normally wins. She "lost" to the ''knowledge'' that {{spoiler|she [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|released something just as bad as the other ancient]]}}.
* Out of all the characters in the game, the ones with the lowest sanity are Peter Jacob and Michael Edwards. Why? Peter is struggling through [[World War I]], while Michael Edwards is experiencing Gulf War Syndrome.
* Each Ancient, near the end of the game, reveals a vision they have of them beating the Ancient they're strong against. However, that never comes to pass, at least on that playthrough. {{spoiler|They were seeing into an alternate timeline where Pious was aligned with the disadvantaged Ancient and ''Alex'' summoned the other Ancient to defeat it. All three of the Ancients saw these misleading visions apparently because of Mantorok's manipulations
* To advance in the tutorial level, Pious must at one point destroy a statue of himself
* If we go by [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience|color coding]], then the yellow, fifth Ancient is the one who teleported Pious to the Ancients' temple in the first place and was used to turn Anthony into a zombie. And there is also the fact that dead enemies are yellow where they are disintegrating. [[Epileptic Trees|Maybe the yellow Ancient is humanity itself, and that's how the characters are able to kill off the zombies for real
* When when monsters look at you they drain your sanity, and when monsters are killed they fade away (as opposed to humans who slowly decompose). Both of these help the [[Ancient Conspiracy]] remain secret.
* Peter Jacobs, Michael Edwards
** You'll also note they are the three Chosen who give Edward Roivas the three Ancients' essences. If Michael's last words in the game are anything to go by, people who handle these things in open defiance of an Ancient's guardians don't last long. Peter Jacobs would be the exception, but c'mon, he defeated the Black Guardian, they wouldn't want to go near him.
