** Near the end of third edition the Binder class was published which bound various vestiges (fragments of lost souls) to itself. One of these vestiges is a dying legendary thief that repented on the deathbed. The god of thieves was furious then realized ''the thief just stole his own soul from the god of thieves''.

** Carrying capacity is relatively trivial to push to absurd levels since it grows exponentially and as damage is (normally) not based on it developers rarely care about balancing increases too much.

* ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' has the spirit gift "Taking The Forgotten", which lets you steal something and lets the previous owner forget he possessed it in the first place.

He also stole a Book from the Library of Yves, the Archangel of Destiny, which is located in Heaven. As a demon, he wouldn't be able to enter Heaven without being destroyed instantly. However, this may just raise questions as to whether he's as demonic as he claims to be...
