Knights of Byzantium nickname

Doug Petrie initially called the Knights of Byzantium ‘The Order of the Cruciform Sword’. Marti Noxon jokingly turned the name into the ‘Order of the Cruciform Ducks’, then the ‘Crucified Ducks’. This became the writers’ name for the Knights from then on. They had to be renamed as the writers stopped taking them seriously. In the same interview, Doug mentions that the Knights:

“Were very deliberately masked [so] when Buffy unmasks one, it’s this really good looking guy. Having monsters to be revealed to be really good looking people is good for our ratings.”
