With that in mind, perhaps Lucifer was an Arch Cursor? For some reason I can imagine planting Guardian Nuntiums in a hot house. ;) I hadn’t thought of the corsor-curser sound link.

And it sounds a little too close to "curser" (one who curses), doesn't it? How about <i>nuntium</i>? Guardian Nuntium? Archnuntium? --Sounds like it belongs on the periodic table...
