Well, Lucifer (or Satan, or Bealzebub, or whatever you choose to 
call him/it) was the morning star, wasn't he? The star most like the 
LIGHT of the morning, something which we all cherish? He/it was 
something light, someting that we were supposed to trust, to put 
faith in, and then he turned against us. He could conquer Heaven - 
he failed. 

Hopefully Lucius will fail in his endeavours as well. He does seem 
though much like that character... I never made the connection 
before, I have not been raised in any organized religion... but 
Lucius does good things for the WW, he presents a very respectable 
and well-meaning face, but we know (because we have been given the 
insight) that he is quite rotten. He was biding his time to take 
over - but hasn't LV's reappearance put a thorn in the side of that 
plan?

Sorry this post is so all-over-the-place!
