Default Question about In Nomine canon

Has the identity (if any) of the Angel/Demon with the Word "Internet" ever been published?

Orc is the Angel of Networks. There is no angel or demon in canon with the Word of "The Internet."

The Incyclopedia includes a fairly exhaustive compilation of all canonical Worded angels and demons categorized by Word, among other indexes.

It's also canon that Nybbas, the Demon Prince of the Media, is rather frustrated with the Internet because of his lack of control over it. (Superiors 2, if I recall.) He has a beachhead there, of course, but there's too much content that he can't dictate.

As a sidenote, I've seen folks occasionally write up Orc as the Archangel of Networks. I recall one attempt by ISNorden (I think) that expanded his Word with his elevation so that it didn't just cover the Internet and the World Wide Web, but the broader idea of networks between and among people in general ... though the technological root was still there, of course. Interesting take.

... and suddenly it becomes clear where YouTube comments come from: Servitors of the Media fulfilling their dissonance conditions without having to work hard.

That seems...disturbingly appropriate. >_<

(contemplates game scenario involving Vatican plot to have cabal of sorceror-priests do a distributed and co-ordinated mass exorcism on the World Wide Web...)
