I found the name of the episode that has Hotel Cabal in it.


* The Hotel Cabal episode, which ends with Mace Malone frantically trying to find an exit to the sealed maze of traps, all of which are designed to drive the prisoner insane. WordOfGod is he eventually died of dehydration.

* Matt Bluestone in the episode "Revelations". Matt was once part of the FBI, but was let go due to his belief in conspiracy theories such as TheIlluminati, who actually exist and were responsible for Matt losing his job with the FBI. During once of his investigations, he finds that Mace Malone is still alive thanks to the Society. Matt is offered membership if he can pass a loyalty test, the test being to bring them a gargoyle to the Hotel Cabal. Mace then goes on to reveal Elisa's secret and how she has been hiding the gargoyles from humanity. Hurt that Elisa would keep a secret from him, especially since it is related to his passion, he forces Elisa to let him drive her car near the end of a shift. He then starts driving erratically and almost runs the car off of a cliff, saying that only the gargoyles can save them. If the guardrails on the cliffside had been any weaker, Matt could have killed Elisa and himself since TheClan were not following her that night. If anyone else had been in the car or if Elisa had decided to not tell her secret, Matt could have lost his job at the police force and become an UnPerson thanks to TheIlluminati.

** In the same episodes, King Duncan's demise. He attempts to strike down his cousin Macbeth, who reveals a strange orb given to him by the Weird Sisters. As soon as Duncan's sword shatters it, he is engulfed in magical energy, and otherworldly light erupts from his eyes and mouth, torching him from the inside, accompanied by an anguished shriek. Finally, we see his flaming corpse, eyes, and tongue burned out of his head, fall out of frame as it tumbles down a cliff. Just... YEESH.

** If you think of it this way, Anubis was describing the pointlessness of death as what gives life meaning. A life that never ends has no point to it. (Observe how unhappy and amoral many of the immortal characters are.) Life is only precious if it can end.

* In "The Gathering", Petros Xanatos fires at Oberon with a harpoon gun....whose tip was made of iron. It impales him through the center of his chest, and weakens Oberon to the point he looks much frailer -- his blue skin dims to grey, he loses his hair and his head becomes pointier. Combine that with his fury at being impaled with iron...
** Also, him going [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant size]] and whaling away at Xanatos' tower. Not to mention him putting the entire city to sleep; WordOfGod subverted NoEndorHolocaust and stated that yes, people died because they fell asleep while driving and other hazardous activities.

** Easy to overlook is the fact that "Xanatos'" armies are, along with upgraded Steel Clan drones, comprised of patrols and shock troops made of cyborg duplicates of Talon and Thailog, two of Xanatos' fiercest enemies. Thailog is stated to have died in the Clone Wars, and whatever happened to Talon at Sevarius' bidding must have been horrific for an eyeless Broadway to be deemed "the lucky one." Regardless of who is really responsible, whatever mind orchestrated the fates of these ferocious warriors is truly depraved.
** For the remaining humans to be left destitute and subjugated, one can only imagine what happened to the ones that spoke out publicly against the rise of Xanatos (which almost certainly included Peter, Diane and Beth Maza.)
