"Boojum." (And I'm delighted you've got the audiobook!) "Boojum" was a word originally coined by Lewis Carroll (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hun...) and was quite a dangerous creature.
As for the latest Lord of Light, his commentary leads us to questions about how that universe (cosmos?) is put together. It's possible whatever agency caused angels to exist may have designed him as a prototype. Or maybe he is "Lucifer," in the Biblical sense--but, perhaps, the story passed down by humanity from generation to generation has been distorted by miscopying, mistranslation, or simple failure to understand the more fundamental aspects. (Or did the Boojum deliberately include some errors while the humans weren't watching? Hmmm!)
Regardless of whether or not the current Lord of Light is "the" Morning Star," he certainly is a powerful and dangerous entity from somewhere near the beginning of time! He may well be the most powerful of the angel-class entities--but he clearly isn't entirely like them, since he actively seeks out more energy sources instead of carrying out whatever "program" is built into each of the "real" angels.

Mr. Whited, I am totally and completely in love with the Nightlord series. I picked it up on Audible mainly because it was recommended, it was really long (at that time I was driving alot). I started playing it, thinking 2 things. One I wasnt sure it was going to be my type of book (boy was I wrong, happily) and two Sean Runnette sounded a bit like what I would think Adam West would sound like reading a book aloud.?
