• In DotA, Warlock's ultimate is named "Rain of Chaos" and the summoned unit was called an Infernal, a hulking golem with green-colored flames. Both names were changed in the transition to Dota 2 to avoid copyright conflicts.
• Warlock is related to Disruptor and Axe, as he comes from the Oglodi race.
• "Just for that, I'm unfiending you." when killed is probably a play on "Unfriending you" an action in the popular social network Facebook where a person removes another from their friend list.
• "Bloodied but unbowed" when respawning is a reference to William Ernest Henley's poem "Invictus".
• Fatal Bonds' sound effect is based on this otherwise unused voice line.
• In DotA, Fatal Bonds used to share the same icon as Veil of Discord.
• "Dark interval"'", which is likely a reference to the song of the same name featured in the credits of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, another game by Valve. It is also a reference to the metaphor "interval of darkness" that the Vortigaunts of the Half-Life series use for death, which is implied to be temporary for them, hence the word "interval" to describe the period of death that comes after their reincarnation.

Lore: As Chief Curator and Head of Acquisitions for the Arcane Archives of the Ultimyr Academy, Demnok Lannik was tireless in his pursuit of lost, rare and forbidden tomes. No cursed temple was so foreboding, no cavern path so treacherous, that any concern for his own survival could dissuade him from entering if rumours hinted that some pamphlet of primordial lore might still survive in its depths. However, so often did his investigations trigger the wrath of protector entities, that he finally found it necessary to master the arts of magic. He bent himself to learning sorcery with the same thorough obsessiveness that marked his quest for incunabula, becoming the most powerful Warlock of the Academy in less time than most practitioners required to complete a course of undergraduate work. Almost as an afterthought, he carved a staff of Dreadwood and summoned into it a captive spirit from the Outer Hells. And anticipating the day when he will have recovered every last lost spell book, he has commenced writing his own Black Grimoire. It will undoubtedly be instructive.
