It seems to me that Apostate has quite a big reference to the Darksider's video game. Because his sword has a pretty striking resemblance to war's sword ChoasEater, if that sword was cut in half(for convenience sake, a picture is right here: http://darksidersdungeon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Chaoseater.jpg). Is this just accidental or is it deliberate? Unfortunatly I couldn't find a good picture of condemnation to compare it with
