• Alternate Character Interpretation: The Night Lords are either deranged psychopaths who live only to sate their appetite for terror and destruction or misunderstood anti-heroes who fight against the corrupting influence of Chaos while simultaneously extracting revenge on the Imperium which abandoned them. Both interpretations are equally valid in the present and no one fully remembers what the Night Haunter was like or the extent of his original vision.
  • Zso Sahaal is also shown in two different lights. He is either a tenacious hero trying to keep the remnants of the legion sane by uniting them under him, or is a deranged and naive idiot with an inflated sense of self-importance. Notably, the second interpretation is how the writer of the Night Lords series views him and portrays him in the eyes of other Night Lords, while the first is how many fans of Lord of Night see him. Talos also can be seen in a less extreme version of either interpretation.
• Complete Monster: Zso Sahaal, obviously.
  • Par for the course for a Night Lord however.
  • Ruven, without the Alternate Character Interpretation, however. He's just a monster.
  • The Exalted, but what do you expect from a daemon of Tzeentch?
  • Invoked by Talos in Void Stalker, although Octavia sees through it.
    • "You're evil, heart and soul, but you're not the monster you pretend to be."
• Ensemble Darkhorse: For how little screen/page time Sevatar has received in canon, Aaron Dembski-Bowden receives an awful lot of questions about him.
