As a supporting figure in The Revolt of the Angels, Iahveh is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Iahveh is described as a cunning, cruel god who invented the fable of hereditary sin and redemption to conquer the world.
From his mountain, Iahveh watched Lucifer's brilliance with envy and demanded a worship rooted in fear rather than love. Nectaire, once the Domination Alaciel, studied nature until he concluded that the world exists of itself and not by Iahveh's caprice, and came to hate the deity for opposing liberty, curiosity, and doubt. As the celestial antagonist whose thunderbolts and hosts the rebels must reckon with, he looms over the whole conspiracy without ever needing to step onstage.
