* [[Mama Bear]]: Castella Lethe is hinted to be this to Attelus {{spoiler|that her ruthless beating of No One Of Consequence was in revenge for him setting the Arco Flagellent on Attelus at the Twilight Bar. Of course when Attelus sees this he misinterprets it completely.}}

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Or Woman behind the woman or {{spoiler|The Xenos Behind the Woman as it seems that Glaitis owes allegiance to the Eldar for reasons as yet unknown}}

Elandria; [[Uncharted Drakes Fortune|Adaptable? Is that what you are calling it now?]] }}

** In the latest part Attelus is ambushed by a group of well dressed axe wielding [[Mooks]] [[Kung Fu Hustle|sound familiar?]]

'''Man With No Name:''' “No one of consequence.”<br />

'''Attelus:''' “I must know.”<br />

'''Attelus:''' “Hmm, okay.” }}
