I'm very curious about the Von Eldritch family
Tumblr media
We can see some pictures of them in the background of Lucifer’s room, so it’s not like they don’t exist in the current series. In addition we also see pictures of them in the pilot and from what we can gather, they get along well with the Morningstar family or at least did.
From what’s known Charlie broke up with the brother and has a pretty hostile relationship with the sister. Though that’s practically all we know.
So, who are they and where did they come from?
From my knowledge they aren’t royalty, meaning they shouldn't be related to one of the seven sins. They also can’t be ordinary sinners, for 1. Lucifer wouldn’t associated with them and 2. They wouldn’t be able to have children.
Theme wise they are mostly green with a grey colour palette and seem to have hair reminiscent of octopus tendrils. Which doesn’t feel too odd as they seem to be inspired by eldritch horror, possibility Cthulhu.
Still though, how do they exist? Are they similar to the lineage of Stolas? Do they have any relation to that linage?
From what we’ve seen any hellborn in high power has some sort of role, like Stolas is supposed to read the stars and such. Plus it feels odd that Lucifer would be friends with just some random family that doesn’t have any significant role. As in, why would Lucifer want to associate with them? Or at least, associated with the father, Lucifer does have a happy picture of the two in his room, so it’s most likely a pretty close friendship. Probably pretty long too.
So, what is the role of the Von Eldritch family?
Are they just the embodiment of horror or something?
Are they in a part related to the cosmic evil that existed before hell was created?
Also, in other news, isn’t it odd that Alastor’s magic seems green?
We haven’t really seen characters with a lot of green. There is Zestial, though his green is more lime yellow, not exactly the green we are looking for. Though it is interesting that the oldest overlord has a colour pallet with green and not an excess amount of red.
In addition, I did find something fun, the fires of hell seem to be mostly green and do you know what burns green? Copper.
And do you know what copper represents? From the Wikipedia page of Copper: “In alchemy the symbol for copper was also the symbol for the goddess and planet Venus.”
And the fun fact of Venus is that it’s sometimes referred to as the “morning star”
I know it most likely doesn’t mean anything, but I thought it fun. Kinda like the fires of hell are representative of the Morningstar family. Like normal(red) flames don’t seem to hurt, at least it doesn’t hurt hellborns, but a flame infused with the power of the morning star is sure to leave a scar.
Oh! And as an ending note, the mothers seem to have a very similar hair style, maybe they also get along well?
