* CastTheExpert: Wayne June, the voice of the Ancestor, was specifically cast because the Red Hook developers were familiar with his experience and acumen at [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCm7BRhw811Xi5QjsbWOsYUQYtcg_tEIK narrating audiobook versions of various works]] by Creator/HPLovecraft. Because of this, he was considered a perfect fit to narrate a game heavily inspired by Lovecraft's work.

** Ambrosius to the Ancestor, which means "immortal." He is dead by the time the adventures take place, yet he continues to narrate. To a lesser extent, [[MemeticMutation "Local Man"]] is also thrown around, and there's also "(Crazy) Uncle Wayne", in allusion to Wayne June, his voice actor.
** No matter how many Highwaymen and Crusaders are gone through, you'll always find someone who just refers to all of them as "Dismas" and "Reynauld".
** Due to his crazed grin and BadassPreacher design, fans of ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' have taken to calling the Fanatic "Alexander Anderson".
