[It's not a good moment, as awkward silence stretches between them. But he's started and now he'd better finish. Enoch is too sharp to lie to. And God knows where else he might go for his answers if he didn't get them now, and what shape they might take.]

In the Christian tradition of the world as I know it, the name Lucifer is often identified with the Devil. [His voice takes on a detached lecturing tone. This is, after all, just theology.] A term with a complex lineage, possibly derived from misappropriation of the Latin translation of certain Hebrew Biblical phrases - from the term Helel, as it happens.

Of course, the Christian origin makes this is all long past your time.
