>David Stockhoff- Lucifer, on the other hand, could fit the bill.
David this feels unfair. I am trying to be concise and brief in this limited
format. When I say "The Devil" it is with the expectation that you will do
some of the work for me and realize there are multiple names and interpretations
of The Devil and how Father Inire may fit (or not fit) them. I can't spell out
everything here. I am feeling mentally strained now, to be honest and I could use
help more than challenge at the current time. As it happens, Lucifer will be
mentioned in the example I will give tomorrow.

Does he travel through mirrors? Or is he restricted to receiving objects (and creatures)
through them? The Jungle Hut scene might indicate travel, if he is Isangoma. Or it might
indicate that he is unable to travel and must create other worlds/times in the form of a
human (and other species) zoo.
I'll mention that various board contributors have compared Fr. Inire to Fenrir, Prometheus, Moses,
Azazel and perhaps others, all trapped or chained, mostly gift-bringers to humanity, some gods, some
religious figures, some fallen angels in the mix.
>Inire is everywhere a vizier needs to be. But he isn't everywhere..
Heh. One of the criticisms of my Father Inire Theory is that he is too much everywhere.
>isn't truly evil...
Through whose eyes are we seeing him? I say his creation, the Commonwealth,
and perhaps all Urth is evil. It gets the Flood treatment. Why?
>...and he isn't rebelling against anything.
If Hethor, the mutineer, was shown to be a version of him, would you reassess that?
