Notes

While there is also a character Bonetti in the game this skill is a reference to the film The Princess Bride. In the scene where Inigo is fencing with the Man in Black he asks, "You're using Bonetti's Defense against me, ah?"

The Guild Wars character Farrah Cappo is a reference to another fencing master identified in the same scene: "Naturally, you must expect me to attack with Capo Ferro."

Rocco Bonetti and Ridolfo Capo Ferro were both Renaissance Italian fencing masters.
