Trivia

 * Ellis says "much obliged" when helped by a team-mate, which is the same response that The Engineer uses in Team Fortress 2, another game made by Valve. Coincidentally, Ellis is also a type of engineer.
 * One of Ellis' battle cries is "DIE, DIE MY DARLING! DIE DIE DIE!", which is a reference to the song "Die, Die, My Darling" by horror punk band, The Misfits.
 * Although Ellis' background information says that he is not scared of the zombie invasion, he usually shouts the presence of Special Infected more than once. Also even though he's "not scared of the zombie invasion" when he's alone he gets scared.
