I think the Outsider is identified with the Maker in the Pajarocu story.

'Demiurge' does indeed just mean 'maker'; it has a specific
connatation in gnosticism, where it is opposed to the true God, but in
other contexts this need not be implied.

'Abraxas' does seem to be a gnostic word, but apparently it's unclear
whether it is a name of  the Archon or of the true God, so it's
uncertain what we should.
