Trivia

• Minister Caudecus is named and modeled after Dave Beetlestone.
• According to AnetFrosty's post on Reddit, "Fun fact - Caudecus Beetlestone is the spitting image of our Enviornment[sic] Art Lead, Dave Beetlestone. He is...not enthusiastic about that fact. At one point, while seeing all the glorious uses of his face, he said 'just don't turn my face into a mask, or anything...' Love ya, Dave!"
