Just my opinion, though...

Very good point--even if she had not accepted semi-demonhood from Lucifer, Lilith still would have done enough evil as a human to get sent Downstairs. :-) If I accept that as "game truth"...then is there a legitimate "primal being" from real-world myth and folklore who could be cast as the inciter of an Ethereal resistance? Even the Fall had its charismatic leader; it stands to reason that someone was behind those first Defections, too.
