CAPS LOCK: The text he uses to monologue at the terminate of Overthrone is a red text in all caps.
Dark Is Evil: His second advent has him completely covered in darkness and he's literally the apotheosis of evil.
Demiurge Archetype: A example where the Demiurge is Satan, who somehow killed and replaced the Archangel Gabriel, then overthrew Jesus himself. Posing as the both of them and as God, he tricks humanity into worshipping him instead of the true god, describing himself as the "one true savior". He besides unleashes Alternates, demon doppelgängers of human being beings, onto the globe to destroy humanity via a mass Impale and Supercede, furthering the themes of illusion, deceit, and impersonation.

"I know what yous love. I know what you dread."
Monster Progenitor: To the Alternates. He knows exactly how they work, and describes that a "alter" will happen to Noah's listen once he encounters the Alternate he infiltrated in the Ark, a modify that sounds suspiciously similar to Grand.A.D.

Non-Standard Character Blueprint: In the cartoony representation of the Biblical times, he stands out by being the but grapheme represented in a realistic portrait. This is subverted in the Book ii flashback to the creation of Original Sin, where he'south represented as an animated serpent.
Psychotic Smirk: He dons one during his speech to Noah in Exhibition.
Satan: He'due south confirmed to be the Devil himself in Exhibition.
