I just re-watched the 12th episode, 1st season, of "Lie to me", titled "Blinded", and it suggsted that "Lightbringer" is a name for Lucifer. English Wikipedia confirms this. Given that Christian mythology is the main source of inspiration for the three Divine Powers, including Lightbringer, both directly and indirectly via J.R.R. Tolkien, it could be a good idea to rename "Lightbringer" to something else. Or maybe keep it. Not sure yet, but it is being considered, and feedback is welcome (post on the mailinst list). --[[User:Peter Knutsen|Peter Knutsen (the Designer)]] 21:35, 28 February 2011 (UTC) | I just re-watched the 12th episode, 1st season, of "Lie to me", titled "Blinded", and it suggsted that "Lightbringer" is a name for Lucifer.
