Trivia

Betruger's name comes from the German word "Betrüger" which means "deceiver" or "traitor".

Dr. Reinhard from Evil Dead: Regeneration has several similarities to Betruger. In addition to looking similar (with a solid white eye), both were said to have been good before their pacts with the undead. They also have German names.
