Notes[]
- Aesthetically the appearance of Gobanrehc was based on that of the Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi. Best known for playing the vampire Dracula in the Classic Universal Horror film of the same name. His appearance being chosen because of his connections to the character of Chernabog in how he was the first actor called in to act out his motions (though was replaced during production) with the monsters appearance allegedly bearing a slight resemblance to him as well.
- The use of the name Gobanrehc is a homage to the name Alucard, a common alias used by Dracula. Like with the name Alucard, it is the character's true name spelled backwards.
- His backstory contains similarities to that of the Judeo-Christian theological figure Lucifer/Satan.
