## Trivia

* The Janus Contingency is introduced in Ch. 31 of The Hades Contingency
* The Janus Contingency is named after the Roman god Janus. Janus was the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings.
	+ The contingency is likely referencing the nature of Janus being depicted as having two faces. This would also be referencing that calling someone "two-faced" is calling them insincere or deceitful.
