* [[Expy]]: Helga von Schabbs, who is almost an exact replica of Helga von Bulow from Return to Castle Wolfenstein. They both meddle with the occult, cause zombie outbreaks (Bulow awakened thousand-year-old corpses, while Schabbs releases an alchemical gas that reanimates the dead), and resurrect ancient horrors. To top it off, both Helgas have a sidekick who they constantly insult and put down at times. They even have the same hairstyle.

At its essence, ''The Old Blood'' is a tribute to the older entries in the series, especially in that plays with the {{Ghostapo}} elements that ''The New Order'' severely downplayed.
