Celebrity Paradox: In Dead or Alive, Donald Trump is mentioned at one point despite Martin Flanery being a Trumplica who is President of the United States. It can be inferred that in this universe, Donald Trump never became president. In The Faceless Ones Valkyrie Cain and Skulduggery Pleasant are investigating the murders of four Teleporters. They go to tell Thurid Guild what they know. He refuses to rehire them and has hired Remus Crux instead. Skulduggery and Valkyrie go and talk to a Sea Hag that lives in a lake and may know who killed a Teleporter 50 years ago. They discover a man named Batu killed the Teleporter. They also discover that an object called the Isthmus Anchor and a Teleporter would be able to open a gateway to the Faceless Ones allowing them to enslave the earth. With China Sorrows's help they locate a boy who is an unskilled Teleporter and save him from Billy-Ray Sanguine who is working for the Diablerie. Sanguine talks with his mysterious boss and is given a new job.

Caelan accidentally does this to Valkyrie near the end of Mortal Coil just by walking absurdly quietly.Skulduggery carries a gun as well as using magic, and is quite willing to use it against enemies who insist on melee weapons. Description Cut: One paragraph in The Wonderful Adventures of Geoffrey Scrutinous ends with Geoffrey assuring a mortal police officer that Skulduggery Pleasant will be able to solve the cause of a murder, as he does things like that all the time. The next paragraph begins with Skulduggery confessing that he has no idea what is going on. Internal Reveal: Valkyrie - and the audience, with her - discovers in Dark Days that her true name is "Darquesse", the sorcerer predicted to destroy the world. She reveals this fact to Skulduggery in the next book, but the secret remains hidden from the rest of the cast until Last Stand of Dead Men, when Darquesse takes over Valkyrie's body seemingly for good. The Dying of the Light have several chapters (such as Chapter 1) from the perspective of a mortal named Danny, in present tense rather than past tense, but clearly involves Valkyrie.
