*The [[Duke MK.44]] bears resemblance to the [http://marathongame.wikia.com/wiki/.44_Magnum_Mega_Class .44 Magnum].

* In his [[Mysterious Logbook]], [[Clovis Bray I]] often mentions an extremely awkwardly-named ideological concept he subscribes to: "Competitive Immortality Through ''Primogeniture of Future-History Ontogeny/Rephylogeny''" — PFHOR. 'Pfhor' (pronounced "four") is the race of alien antagonists in Marathon.
*In the 31st entry of the [[Books of Sorrow]], [[The Witness]] was referred to as "the waves, which are battles, and the battles are the waves," which is a description also attributed to a race of cosmic beings in Marathon known as the W'rkncacnter who, like the Witness, possess immense power and the potential to destroy the known universe.
