*Fallen were the first ever enemy to be seen in anything Destiny related, being the first enemy to appear in the [[Law of the Jungle]] trailer.
*Their mechanized vehicle units carry overtones of Japanese mecha, and their ships appear like rusted futuristic submarines.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 55''</ref>
*According to GameInformer, The Fallen cooperate with both Cabal and Vex forces, who are in fact enemies with one another as seen on Mars.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 52''</ref> This has yet to be shown in-game, as the Fallen House of Winter is at war with the Vex on Venus, and the House of Wolves later came into conflict with the Cabal.
**Ironically, the first ever race to ally with a Fallen was [[Guardian|Guardians]] when [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]] abandoned the [[House of Dusk]] to ally with Guardians.
*A T-shirt, featuring a Fallen Glyph with various examples of Fallen script in the background, was previously available in the Bungie Store prior to the game's launch. This shirt was also made available at PAX 2013 where its creator, Bungie graphic designer Elliot Gray, gave a little insight into the story behind its creation to a fan who asked him the meaning of the symbols. He indicated that he had used the names of several of the game's developers for the background, then pointed to one name in the corner and indicated that it translated into "Ondarius", which he stated was the name by which one of the Great Houses referred to themselves, although he didn't elaborate on which House it was.
*The Fallen's history with the Traveler is very much similar to Humanity's, as the Traveler arrived and brought in a Golden Age for both, only for it to be taken away by the Darkness. However, unlike with the Fallen, the Traveler stayed and defended Humanity when the Darkness arrived. The Fallen are likely a prime example of what Humanity would have become if the Traveler had not stayed and created the Ghosts to find and raise the Guardians.
