| rdfs:comment | - Gordian Knot is an item in Planescape: Torment.
- Gordian Knot(非常手段（ゴルディアン・ノット）Hijō Shudan (Gorudian Notto), lit. Emergency Measure) are a set of "artificially-made" Treasure Tools crafted by "Seeking Researcher" Dantalion for Bel Peol who gives them to her subordinates. They are made from the material called "Demigold". Each Gordian Knot contains a certain Unrestricted Method which is triggered when the person wielding it dies (thus igniting the 'fuse' inside). Noted effects of Gordian Knots are: transportation (originally possessed by Bifrons; later used by Sabrac) and energy outburst (activated at Vine's death), resulting in the destruction of the Tendōkyū.
- The Gordian Knot agent who fits Dan's lock is the brother of Milo, the boss at the Promethean cab company. The reference to one of Adrian Veidt's heroes may indicate that Gordian Knot is one of Veidt Enterprises' subsidiaries, or it may just be that Veidt's influence has led to a fashion for classical references in industry.

| abstract | - Gordian Knot is an item in Planescape: Torment.
- The Gordian Knot agent who fits Dan's lock is the brother of Milo, the boss at the Promethean cab company. The reference to one of Adrian Veidt's heroes may indicate that Gordian Knot is one of Veidt Enterprises' subsidiaries, or it may just be that Veidt's influence has led to a fashion for classical references in industry. The name is a reference to a supposedly impossible knot which Alexander the Great dramatically severed with his sword, a story quoted by Adrian Veidt. The reference to cutting through what you can't untangle is appropriate to Rorshach's tendency to force locks rather than picking them. Its name is a reference to the Gordian Knot, a legendary knot of such complexity that it could not be untied - the man who successfully did so was prophesied to become king. Eventually Alexander the Great undid the knot by cutting it open with his sword, fulfilling the prophecy through force and not by cunning. In a similar way, although Dan Dreiberg attempts to seal his home with a lock of great complexity, Rorschach is able to break in by forcing the lock instead of trying to pick it.
