Trivia

• Ray uses the alias "Dr. Hannibal Lecter" while talking to his great-great-great-great grandniece Brice. Hannibal Lecter is a character from the Thomas Harris suspense novels Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising as well as their subsequent film adaptations.
• When tutoring Per Degaton, Vandal refers to the myth of Oedipus, but subtly edits it to fit his vision for Per Degaton's future; in Savage's version of the myth, while telling the truth that Oedipus's father sent him off to die as a child due to a prophecy, he claims that the prophecy was that Oedipus would take his father's throne when the original myth stated that Oedipus would kill his father, and concludes the myth by confirming that Oedipus returned to fulfil his destiny when in the actual myth Oedipus killed his father without ever knowing who he was until years after the fact.
