* MythologyGag: Newly-resurrected Theo Galavan, last scion of the disgraced Dumas family, now identifies as Azrael. The Order of Saint Dumas from the Comic Books is a fanatical cult and [[UsefulNotes/TheKnightsTemplar Knights Templar]] {{Expy}}. "Azrael" is basically a title within the Order, passed down [[LegacyCharacter from father to son]]: he's the main enforcer of Order law, dealing out death and punishment to those who violate its tenets.
