Product Information

Hidden Elf Village: the village where Jamie comes through a gate in Oblivion after the Time Skip is an example of one of these fallen on hard times. A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Scott and Jamie don't like to read minds for exactly this reason. Considering they're both fourteen and have lived in abusive families for most of their lives, it's understandable. The treacherous Fabian objects to Salamanda's men wanting to kill Matt in Evil Star. It gets him killed faster than you can say Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves, or No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.

Twin Telepathy: Jaime and Scott Tyler's power; both can read minds but decided to read each other's minds instead of other people's because of the evil thoughts humanity can possess. In his past life Matt was the leader of the Gatekeepers. He alone had the knowledge of the Old Ones and how to defeat them, although the source of this knowledge seems to have from been his life story that he read in the Library. Unlike the other Gatekeepers of that period, Matt was referred to by his modern name, saying "he likes that one better".

In Necropolis, he went through the doorway in the Tai Shan Temple along with Scott, and ended up in Italy 10 years later. He was held as a prisoner in a castle situated in Naples, along with Scott. After a few weeks of being held in prison, Scott under the influence of the Old Ones joins their side along with Jonas Mortlake, son of Susan Mortlake, while Pedro afterwards escaped the prison and travelled to Rome with the help of an Italian boy named Giovanni. He used the door in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome to get to Oblivion, Antarctica where he and the remaining four finally defeat the Old Ones. After winning the battle, he joins Matt and the other three to live in the dreamworld situated beyond the mountains of Oblivion. Rémy dies in a shoot-out, and Scarlett and Richard travel to Dubai in the hopes of securing a plane ride. To gain the attention of the ruling Sheikh, Scarlett gambles a large sum of money at his casino. The Sheikh rules her win void as she is underage, but he invites her and Richard to dinner. Susan Ashwood, a Blind Seer and member of the Benevolent Conspiracy featured in the previous books, leads a group of people living in a bunker, hiding from the Old Ones and their servants.

I See Dead People: The Big Good Susan Ashwood is a powerful medium, who can chat with the dead as easily as with any visitor. Humans Are the Real Monsters: Jones Mortlake makes this argument in Oblivion. The series plays the trope straight with Nightrise and worshippers of the Old Ones, but averts it just as well with Nexus and the allies, showing humanity's best and worst aspects at the same time. America Saves the Day: Defied. The Old Ones are well aware of this trope, and rig the US presidential election so that it doesn't happen. Native-American twins Jamie and Scott Tyler are two of the Five Gatekeepers. Jamie and Scott are orphans who, after several failed fostering attempts, ended up with an abusive guardian known as 'Uncle Don' where they were forced to work as part of a magic act in Reno, Nevada, USA. After a performance Scott is kidnapped and both physically and mentally tortured by the sinister Nightrise Corporation at a privately owned juvenile prison called Silent Creek, in the outskirts of Nevada. Jamie is rescued by a woman of the name Alicia McGuire, who is on a quest to find her long lost son Daniel McGuire, and suspects that Nightrise had kidnapped him and many other children with paranormal abilities (Daniel has a Precognition ability). With the help of John Trelawney, a senator going for president of the US, Jamie creates a plan to free Scott by going to Silent Creek, a place of which Nightrise was keeping Scott which Jamie found out after seeing into the mind of a Nightrise worker. Jamie almost doesn't escape but is saved by an Incan tribe. He is too late to rescue Scott and is injured while escaping from the prison, however, he does manage to find Daniel McGuire. While he is injured and close to death Jamie is transported to the past, during the war against the Old Ones ten thousand years ago. He learns that he and Scott are Gatekeepers, and that he has replaced his previous incarnation Sapling, who had been killed. [ citation needed]

Master of the Mountain: I mentioned that I had killed 25 men to attain my position. The man who asked me [if he would be willing to work for the Old Ones] was number 25. Never Mess with Granny: Professor Chambers breaks out a gun when servants of the Old Ones come for Matt, Pedro and the twins. Scarlett bears a strong resemblance to and is described by some as Lin Mo, the Chinese goddess of the sea. Her previous incarnation, also called Scarlett but known as Scar, found Jamie when he was transported to the past. Scarlett has the power of Weather manipulation, including forecasting, as well as astral projection.

This is probably to show the difference between the rather quaint Lesser Malling folk and serious players like Nightrise Corp:
