Trivia

 * In DotA, Templar Assassin makes numerous references to the game Starcraft, another famous RTS game by Blizzard. Her ability to manipulate psionic energy, the psi blades she wields, and the mention of her master being originally from Aiur in her DotA biography all apply to the Protoss, one of the three main races of the game. The description of Meld also describes it as the "Art of Shakuras". In Starcraft lore Shakuras is the capital of the Lenassa clan which is part of the Nerazim faction better known as Dark Templar. Lenassa templars are wearing cloth shrouds on their faces, and have purple warp blades and purple eyes.
 * Templar Assassin's rare response upon snapping a trap, vo_templar_assassin_temp_psionictrap_04.mp3 "It's a trap!" is a reference based on Star Wars' Admiral Ackbar's quote from "Return of the Jedi."
 * The response vo_templar_assassin_temp_rare_02.mp3 "My body is a temple for which I will kill." is a reference to the bible verse John 2:19-22.
 * Templar Assassin's response upon killing vo_templar_assassin_temp_rival_29.mp3 "Alright then, keep your secrets." is a reference to Frodo's quote in the 2001 film The Lord of the Rings.
