No no no, we're all tied together in misery and success!

Besides... solving this alone hasn't been anywhere near half as fun and satisfying as commiserating with you all :blushing:

I have tried this since the beginning...I don't think I missed any possible guesses here, but who knows. I just feel like it fits nicely, obviously you do as well.

Yes, if only the "He" was placed elsewhere in the sentence, then we would know...

I thought that it was Satan, and that Dark was one of the names given... Prince of Darkness, Prince of Demons, Prince of Pain... that was a dead end too though.

After looking through the first part of the Book of Genesis several times, I don't think it deals with the trinity... unless, again, I missed something.
