Anyone else catch the names of Lucifer’s siblings.

General/Misc

While there were a bunch of them, towards the end of the show the names became moderately absurd. Except for one of them, was letsmakeadeal.

Only moderately? Hanjobadiel disagrees.

I didn’t catch that one either 🤣

He got the looks in the family 😉

Best angel name I've ever heard. I wonder what his power was.

Beauty? More beauty?!

I had something else on my mind 👀

LOL

Hanjobadiel was definitely the worst one. I mean, God had to have been taking the piss with that name.

I like to think that the name was perfectly normal when God and Goddess came up with it, but Lucifer named the act after his brother either to spite him, mess with him, or as an ill conceived honor

Definitely to mess with him.

I mean, handjob is pretty self-explanatory. It's not like the word handjob has to be explained at all to anyone. It's not like bukkake where u have to look it up or someone has to tell u.

I just looked up the word bukkake… gotta go erase my search history now

Since God surely didn't start with English as the first language, this is the only reasonable explanation.

I mean outside Amenadiel, Lezmegadiel and Hanjobadiel, basically all of them are named after actual angels from Abrahamic lore. For example Azrael gets her name from the Islamic angel of death and Jophiel is named after a Christian and Jewish archangel who plays a somewhat important role in Kabbalah and is ironically associated with wisdom, but also beauty so that at least fits.

Amenadiel is named after a fallen angel in some old book o’ demons. Unlike Lezmegadiel and Hanjobadiel, he’s not made up. Before, I dunno, maybe season 4, you could google him and get documentation of where he came from. Now Lucifer stuff takes up the first few search pages and you have to dig. I dunno how old it was. At least a century, possibly multiple.

I stand corrected, appearantly Amenadiel comes from "Ars Theurgia Goetia", part of the Lesser Key of Solomon.

It shows up in the lesser key of Solomon which was compiled in the 17th century

Yeah... as if there weren't already an angel whose entire shtick was making deals.
