* FatalFlaw: Even when she was a human, the Black Sun was a consummate manipulator who does ''not'' react well when other people deviate from her internal script. This was likely why she spared the hunters in the first place, as it never struck her as plausible that, if they were able to deal with the other gods, that would mean they also posed a threat to her. [[spoiler: She's actually quite correct in that. The hunters are only able to threaten Claire at all because Charles shows them how to do it, despite being dead.]]

[[folder:The Gateway]]
The vampire gods' powers and ascension came from someone or something that they call the Gateway. The back half of the game is about finding who that is.

[[spoiler: In life, she was a woman named Grace with a supernatural talent for healing the sick, through donating her blood to them.]]

* ApocalypticLog: You can find Grave Locks throughout Redfall, which are vials that contain a softly glowing lock of the Gateway's hair. Each one comes with a short soliloquy, which gradually reveal more details about ''Redfall's'' story from the Gateway's perspective.
* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler: Eventually, the heads of Aevum shut Grace up by putting her into a medically induced coma, then never allowed her to wake up.]]
