Line 34:
* [[Heroic Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Doc is the unacknowledged son of the Prince Consort.}}
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]: Noriko
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Doc and his group need someone to pose as Teleri Obeldon. The lookalike they find is named [[Swan Lake|Swana Weiss]] -- and—and yes, "Weiss" '''is''' German or, locally, Burian for "white." To rub it in, Swana owns a dog called Odilon.
** Doc's proper name is Desmond MaqqRee. "Maqq" is clearly much the same [[Patronymic]] as Gaelic "Mac," and "Ree" may be a variant of "Ri," meaning "king." King's son. He's actually {{spoiler|a Prince Consort's illegitimate son}}, but close enough for government work.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The physical description of the villain in the novel ''Doc Sidhe'' bears a striking resemblance to [[The Shadow]].
** So does Zeb in ''Sidhe Devil'' -- dressed—dressed in black, fedora pulled low, scarf pulled up over his face, and unnerving laughter:
{{quote|He rode atop them, cloaked in the night, his training and the pistols in his pockets ... making him more dangerous than any of them.... A laugh bubbled up out of him, and had any of the soldiers aboard the train heard it, they would have been chilled by the mad humor in it.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Offing the Offspring]]: averted. Gaby and Harris go to great lengths to prevent Doc killing Duncan.}} See Disney Villain Death.
