* Originally, the character [[Kane (Dragonfire)|Kane]] from ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'' was to be named "Hess."

These events forced a name change to Kane. "Kane" came about because it also had four letters, which allowed the [[script editor]], [[Andrew Cartmel]], to easily replace "Hess" with "Kane" in the scripts.
