Trivia
- Like most White Knights and Temple Knights, his name is a play on words, in this case "colonial".
- His name is also a reference to Colonel Jack O'Neill from the Stargate TV series, whose main villains, parasitic slug-like aliens known as the Goa'uld, possess human hosts much like the sea slugs possess the people of Witchaven. Additionally, O'Neill frequently comments on how he would rather be by a lake fishing during the series.
- After the Slug Menace quest nothing is left of O'Niall except his chair. Previously, the chair still was shown as a yellow dot on the minimap, but this was removed in a hidden update. However, his chair still has a yellow label.
- The colour of his shirt strangely changes after his possession.
- A suit of armour with his name on it was added to the game cache along with him, but is unused.
