+* Kresnik is based on the shamanistic vampire hunters called [[Wikipedia:Krsnik_(vampire_hunter)|Krnsnik]] (or Kresnik). The kresnik appear as animals at night to hunt their evil counterpart, the ''kudlak'', to fight evil agents and ensure good harvest, health, and happiness. The kresnik are often represented as a white animal and the kudlak as a black one. They may have had origins from the Slavic deity [[Wikipedia:Kresnik_(deity)|Kresnik]]; a god of the sun, sky, and fertility.
+** In Kresnik's higher rarity art, you can see his right hand partially transformed into an animal's.
+** Kresnik's archenemy, the kudlak, is reflected in-game by Kresnik and {{Transient icon|Volkh Vseslav}}'s dislike for each other.
+* His [[Sacred Artifact]], weapons created of silver, is a reference to how in folklore silver was a metal thought to be very effective against evil creatures such as werewolves, vampires, and witches; it is where the concept of the [[Wikipedia:Silver_bullet|silver bullet]] comes from. To a lesser degree, it could be related to [[Wikipedia:Iron_in_folklore#Cold_iron|cold iron]] in European mythology that is believed to repel, contain, or harm ghosts, fairies, witches, and other malevolent supernatural creatures.
