Serapatatia, well-meaning Nodite leader = The Serpent in the Garden of Eden
The Connection
"Serapatatia" > "Serap" > "Serp" > "Serpent." Over millennia, the name of the person who convinced Eve to take the fateful action was corrupted into "serpent." The serpent tempts Eve in Genesis; Serapatatia persuades Eve in the UB. The role is identical: the persuader who leads to the fall.

Historical Evidence(Moderate evidence)
Hebrew "nachash" has three semantic fields: (a) to hiss like a snake, (b) to divine/practice sorcery, (c) to shine/gleam. International Standard Version translates nachash as "the Shining One." Bereshit Rabbah 20:5: the nachash "was not a lowly creature slithering in the dirt -- it was a radiant, upright, possibly winged being" later cursed to crawl. The seraph/seraphim (fiery ones) share the serpentine association.
