*According to the Kingdom Hearts Character Report Volume 2, Luxord is Tetsuya Nomura's favorite member of Organization XIII.

*It is interesting to note that Luxord, a master of cards, was not named the Lord of Castle Oblivion. The irony is that the actions taken within Castle Oblivion are determined by the use of cards. The next member, [[Marluxia]], was instead named Lord of Castle Oblivion. It is unknown why this is so. One possible explanation is Xemnas was aware of Marluxia's traitorous nature, and wanted to prove it, while Luxord is loyal to his cause.

*Though it may be coincidental, Luxord partially shares a name with the real-world Luxor casino. This may draw some inspiration for the gambler theme.
*Interestingly, Luxord's name is never actually spoken in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. He shares this odd trait with [[Xigbar]] and, until ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', [[Demyx]].

*Luxord is one of only three bosses in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' to use the theme "The 13th Struggle," the others being Axel in Twilight Town and Riku in the Land of Dragons. The theme also plays while fighting alongside Axel in Betwixt and Between. "The 13th Struggle" only plays against Organization bosses that Sora/Roxas battles alone, excluding the Roxas and Xemnas boss battles.

*Luxord, [[Demyx]], [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]] are the only members of Organization XIII whose original names have not been revealed.
*In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Luxord remarks "if only whispers at the top of the ladder carried to the bottom rung" upon finding out [[Xion]]'s true nature. Along with Demyx and possibly Xigbar, he was also one of the last Organization members to discover this secret. This may imply that he is one of their lower-ranked members, to not be made aware of such vital information. As further evidence, when spoken to in the Grey Room after this scene, he remarks that "It's tough being at the bottom of the food chain."
