Alhazred is a direct reference to one of the figures in the works of the horror author H. P. Lovecraft: ''Abdul Alhazred''. He was a mad Arabian poet who is supposed to be the author of the fictional book Kitab al-Azif (better known as the [[Book of Condemnation|Necronomicon]]) which contains many curses and background on the Cthluhu lore.

His weapons are also references to the works of Lovecraft: ''Nameless Cults'' (or ''Unaussprechlichen Kulten'') was a fictional work of arcane literature and the ''Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan'' were a ficitonal piece of astrological writing. It is unknown if his final weapon upgrade, ''Howls of Demons'', is also based on the writings of Lovecraft.
