* AliensNeverInventedTheWheel: ZigZagged in the first book. At one point when outlining the history of the Blessed to Serve (and, by extension, the Liberated), DuQuesne says that the Minds "went all Literature/{{Frankenstein}}" on them, meaning they TurnedAgainstTheirMasters. Orphan says that "Frankenstein" didn't translate, showing that his people don't have an equivalent to that story nor any that were inspired by it, prompting the humans to give him a synopsis. After a few more minutes, Sandrisson notes that the future Blessed likely did have an equivalent to ''Frankenstein'' at one point in their history, but the Minds purged it after taking over.

* MorallySuperiorCopy: Marc C. [=DeQuesne=] was created by the Hyperion project primarily as an incarnation of the villain from ''Literature/SkylarkSeries'' with the same name.

Because of the personality shifts and the moral choices he has made over the years, Marc uses his talents for much less selfish goals than his namesake-- though he does retain the original [=DeQuesne's=] capacity for ruthlessness when he deems it necessary.
