* [[Scary Black Man]]: Because he's '''''BAD!!!'''''

{{quote| '''The Octopus''': ''When my buddies here find Sand Saref, I won't'' '''need''' ''profits, I'll have the blood. Then, if I want something, I'll just'' '''take''' ''it!'' '''''That's what gods do!'''''}}

* [[Sharp Dressed Man]]: Both The Octopus and The Spirit.

** You've never read "Life Below", have you?
