* AlternateHistory: [[spoiler: ''Fallen Empires'' reveals that shortly after Cleo was transported into the future, Egypt was invaded by alien pirates. ''Queen of the Nile'' ends with Cleo and Anthony traveling back to Egypt and beating the invaders, with Khensu's lesson revealing that they ruled Egypt together and defeated the Roman Empire before leading Egypt into being one of the most prosperous civilisations of all time, to the point that their Bloodline still rules the Nyle Galaxy.]]

* EverybodyHatesHades: [[spoiler: Anubis is revealed to be a GreaterScopeVillain and an OmnicidalManiac to boot. He used to be a case of GoodIsNotNice, but after his daugther was killed by a prince who seduced her, he went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: Anubis is revealed to be the source of Octavian's power, having used the Sword of Kebechet to possess him and use him as a vessel to enact his revenge on the universe.]]
* GruesomeGrandparent: While it's not truly addressed, [[spoiler: Cleopatra being a descendant of Kebechet means Anubis is her distant ancestor. He has no problem trying to have her killed and at the end tries to possess her to continue his plot to destroy the universe.]]


Added DiffLines:

* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler: ''Queen of the Nile'' reveals that the reason for the Nyle Galaxy's Egyptian aesthetic is because after her return, Cleo led Egypt into beating the Roman Empire and becoming one of the greatest civilisations of all time, with Anthony being her partner and the Nyle royal family their descendants.]]
