* TypeCaste: Raza Soora was born into the Sudra (servent) caste, and first served Assassin Mentor Habid before being bought by Arbaaz Mir for one gold coin.
* UnequalPairing: A major source of angst in Jot and Monima's relationship is the fact that he is a simple programmer who is descended from a lower caste, while Monima is a famous actress and the descendent of royalty and a Assassin. This is largely one-sided with Jot, its clear that Monima truly loves him for who he is and completely faithful to him.
