Trivia[edit]

  • The Risen Prince Nekandezzar wields a Stygian Blade, while clones of him wield an Iron Sword.
  • His name is likely a reference to Nebuchadnezzar II, a Chaldean king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, who reigned c. 605 BC – 562 BC. Both the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the destruction of Jerusalem's temple are ascribed to him. He is featured in the Book of Daniel and is mentioned in several other books of the Bible.
