- He was also likely from Great Britain or Ireland as he held the title of Fellow of the Royal Society, a distinction awarded to British and Irish scientists.
- Shaw's first name Tobias may be a reference to Tobias S. Buckell, who was hired to write Halo: The Cole Protocol around the time the name was revealed.[3].
