Yaldabaoth was part of an Isu triad, of which he was titled the Father of Understanding.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
On day 24 of year 2161 of the Isu Era, alongside his two counterparts, the Sacred Voice Samael and the Mother of Wisdom Saklas, Yaldabaoth was tasked to start the production management for Project Anthropos, an Isu initiative to create a new workforce, the human species. While Yaldabaoth was in charge of the production and Saklas was responsible for the design, Samael went on a recruitment drive to procure the most talented Isu required to achieve the project goals.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
In Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and several other Western mystery traditions, Yaldabaoth is one of the many names of the Demiurge, an omnipotent supreme entity who is believed to have created humans and imbued them with souls, while also trying to limit mankind's knowledge by forbidding them the fruits of paradise. His peers Saklas and Samael are also among those names.[2]
The name Yaldabaoth itself is derived from the Aramaic expression yaldā bahôt (Imperial Aramaic: ילדא בהות), which means "descendant of Chaos". During the memory "Pilgrimage to St. Albanes" when Fulke is freed from Saint Albanes Abbey, she refers to Yaldabaoth as "Ialdabaoth" a name used for him in the Apocryphon of John.[3]
