* [[AnAesop Aesop]]: At one point while thinking about the fact that some people can recover from death, Ezra wonders if the Horde and the Alliance would be so eager to fight if they "couldn't just stand the pawns back up." It's a bit of a TakeThat to RealLife, in that we have plenty of wars without any resurrection at all.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mhorduna, guildmaster of Ezra's guild the Them. In part he tolerates Ezra and Crowley's relationship because he trusts Crowley as a fellow demon hunter, but he's also willing to listen to arguments about why his decisions might not be the best ones.
