[continued]

Satan (one of the Sons of God, in Job)* is only the central of seven demons** of the mediaeval hierarchy, {he} representing Anger; but the early Church fathers called Lucifer (Pride) Satan, after his fall from Heaven.***

This line, S~ – A~, is of course one of the two vital lines top or from A~: the other being R~ – A~:

So ascribing the names Satan and Lucifer to the Devil is not incorrect, so far as it goes; and the confusion of the Devil with the Angel of Death (who is Azrael at A~) and with Death itself (T.XIII at R~, and the Pale Horse at C) is unsurprising. Separation – whether wilful (the Devil) or divinely-willed (Azrael) – brings Death in the end, one way or another; but Death itself (R~) leads you directly back to God (through C).
