** When he addresses the Great Eight in the aftermath of Taci's death, he deflects all of the accusations regarding his string of failings in the DivineConflict before closing the discussion by lying to them by saying that Taci was tricked into destroying himself, rather than admit that he screwed up and sent Taci to get killed by the lessers. Then again, Kezess genuinely believed Taci would succeed in his task, and while he was aware of Arthur's survival and RePower, he did not expect him to suddenly intervene and kill Taci.

Added DiffLines:
* VillainsNeverLie: PlayedWith. Despite being an UnreliableExpositor and SlaveToPR, to those who do know of his atrocities Kezess has no reason to lie to them, as long as he can prevent others who aren't supposed to be in on the truth from overhearing and if allows him to manipulate the other party.
Added DiffLines:
* AfterActionVillainAnalysis: While long extinct, the wraiths' existence and motivations are only explained by Kezess to Arthur as part him trying to justify his actions to him.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Their existence is first hinted at when Seris tells Caera that Agrona's SuperSoldier[=s=] derive their name from an ancient asuran legend. This is picked up later on when Kezess reveals the full truth about them to Arthur.

* UnfeelingHeavens: A big time example. Most asuras care very little for what happens outside of Epheotus in spite of their self-proclaimed desire to look out for the lives of the lessers. Especially [[spoiler:the Indrath Clan, who are willing to commit genocide for not-so-well-intentioned reasons]].
** Their rivalry with [[spoiler:the Asclepius can also be viewed this way. Though given that the Asclepius are phoenixes making them the bird, this means the Indrath become the serpent instead]].
