Seraph is short for the word seraphim which is the high class of angels, and his role is pretty much the part of a guardian angel. -Erin Finstad
Persephone was the daughter of Demeter and Zeus in Greek myth. Hades abducted her and took her to the underworld, but she was eventually allowed to return to the surface for part of the year. Her mother Demeter, in her grief neglected her duties and the earth became cold and barren, so Zeus allowed Persephone to come home for only 6 months of the year. This marked the changing of the seasons.

The entire crew of the hovercraft Hammer have names borrowed from weapons: Mauser, AK, Maggie (magazine), and Colt.
Interestingly, the hammer is also referred to as Mjolnir, which is the Norse God Thor's hammer...yet another weapon. The Hammer Mjolnir
was said to always return after it had been thrown. Coincidentally, the Hammer (piloted by Niobe) is the only hovercraft to return to
Zion.
