- Complete Monster: Ethnarch Kerian, the decadent despot of Youricam who serves as the introductory Asshole Victim for mercenary protagonist Cheradenine Zakalwe, has kept himself alive and youthful for decades through "retro-ageing" technology, harvesting the organs of dissidents for himself. Kerian obtained this technology by brokering a deal with Zakalwe, promising to stop his genocidal killings—which he promptly started up again as soon as Zakalwe was off-world, having his undesirables rounded up into "death trains" and gassed, entire villages at a time.
- Moral Event Horizon: Elethiomel kills his stepsister/former lover Darckense and makes a chair from her skin and bones. He then sends it to her brother, the actual Cheradenine Zakalwe, who shoots himself.
- Nightmare Fuel: Elethiomel making a chair out of Darckense's skin and bones. Which bones went into making which part of the chair is extensively detailed, making it all the more sickening.
- Tear Jerker: Elethiomel making a chair out of Darckense, needless to say that it's an incredibly powerful moment in the worst possible sense.
