Trivia

 * 's ability icon bears a similar appearance to a D20 dice, commonly used in table-top RPG games, where a full 20 usually results in a critical.
 * Chaos Knight's lore and responses draw many references to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and his ultimate is a literalisation of it.
 * The line vo_chaos_knight_chaknight_ally_03.mp3 "Ah, Tidehunter, can I offer you a seabiscuit?" is a reference to Seabiscuit, a famous American racehorse.
 * Fitting his theme of randomness, Chaos Knight has the most varying attack damage in the game. His actual damage on attack can be up to 15 more or 15 less than his displayed damage.
 * Chaos Knight's actual name in DotA was "Nessaj". This was removed in his transition to Dota 2, likely due to the change in his background story.
 * ,, , and together represent the four fundamental forces of the universe with Chaos Knight representing the strong interaction, the force that binds quarks to make protons and neutrons. It is also one of the forces present in the detonation of a nuclear bomb, a weapon commonly seen as a tool of widespread death and destruction.
 * Fitting to his theme, the strong force is the most powerful among the four fundamental forces, but its strength is very limited in far distances. Hence his status as a melee strength hero whose role is that of a hard carry. Furthermore, his Reality Rift spell brings an enemy hero into Chaos Knight's effective melee range, just like how the strong force binds quarks together with its strength.
 * The uncertainty principle determines the range of the strong nuclear force. This is the reason why Chaos Knight's abilities and damage are so random.
 * Furthermore, references the uncertainty principle when killing : vo_enigma_enig_rival_11.mp3 "Chaos Knight: so limited by uncertainty."
 * Chaos Knight's default mount's name is Armageddon.
 * One of Chaos Knight's death responses, vo_chaos_knight_chaknight_death_10.mp3 "Armageddon…out of here." may be a reference drawn from the film "Bruce Almighty" where, towards the end of the film the doomsayer (homeless man with handwritten signboard, often with typos) holds a sign "ARMAGEDON OUTA HERE". It works as a cheeky wordplay on "I'mma gettin' out of here"; reflecting on something that doesn't quite cease to be amazing, even while calling for a closure.
 * Chaos Knight's response upon killing Dragon Knight, vo_chaos_knight_chaknight_rival_11.mp3 "You did need a steed, didn't you?", answers to one of his lines when he moves: vo_dragon_knight_drag_move_06.mp3 "I need no steed".
