This series provides examples of: 
 * Adventurer Archaeologist
 * Ancestral Weapon
 * Anti-Anti-Christ:  is one of these.
 * Ironically, only part of him wants to be this, and that part has control. The Other Part, Though...
 * As Long as There Is Evil: Satan
 * Badass Bookworm: Lazarus. At one point he.
 * And at the start of the story, Laz gets a list of ingredients he has to pick up, number one being "The Tooth Of A Beast That Man Has Never Killed." It takes him less than ten seconds to figure that one out:

 * Due to the Dead
 * Face Palm: One of the monkey-people in page 51.
 * Fish Out of Water: The main plot of the story.
 * Genre Savvy
 * Gods Need Prayer Badly: A slight variant. Supernatural beings are empowered by people knowing of them, and even more so by actual belief.
 * What's more interesting is that a god doesn't necessarily NEED belief, depending on it's nature. Quetzalcoatl is a god of, amongst other things, learning, and rivers, which were around long before humans were, so even without belief, or even without humans, while he'd lose his powers, and even his form, he'd still exist., on the other hand, is basically a God of Evil, and evil is a purely human creation. No humans, no  . Period.
 * Grave Robbing

 * It Was a Gift
 * Monologuing
 * The Nicknamer: All the Lilitu, which backfires when they call Lazarus.

 * Punch Clock Villain: Mephistopheles and Adramelech. The former is basically Hell's bookkeeper (and dresses the part), the other is an old, washed-out god who resents having been forced to join The Legions of Hell by the rise of monotheism (he still does his job, though. ).
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Running Gag: Furry puns.
 * Satan: Hekind of a dick, too.
