Rahab (Kushiel's Legacy)

In Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy series, Rahab is the angel of Pride and Insolence, called the Lord of the Deep by D'Angeline sailors and the Prince of the Deep by Yeshuites. He is conceptually related to the demon of Jewish folklore.

Rahab begot the Master of the Straits on a D'Angeline girl who loved an Alban of the "Cullach Gorrym" tribe. For the crime of rape, the One God banished him from heaven. Rahab took vengeance for his own imprisonment on his son, binding him to the islands between Terre d'Ange and Alba until another love dared to breach the waters, and one came willing to take his place.
