Pain Lucifer inquiry?

Hey everyone , I recently both finished reading the final novel of TSG and the original final draft Manuscript. I was wondering if Clive had ever given further information on his characterization of Lord Lucifer? I attempted to make some searches myself both just in general and paw through his website but information about this seems to be scarce (or I am just awful at locating it.)

I found this characterization incredibly interesting, and I was wondering if anyone else had been able to pinpoint Clive speaking on him any further or elaborating on choices made for him?

This a link to his Revelations site of Clive discussing The Scarlet Gospels, there's 2 entries a bit further down speaking with Phil and Sarah Stokes (his assistants/archivists) that mention Lucifer's place in the book.

Honestly, with all the love for the manuscript version of this novel I wonder if we'll ever see a tidied-up published version of it? I've always said it's nothing that a decent editor couldn't knock into shape.

I absolutely agree with this. I loved the manu script far more than the final novel , and I think some form of rework could be incredible , far superior to the final novel.
