...oddly enough, yeah, I can see that; user interfaces shape thought
processes. I'd make him older, though: Das Engel der
Mensch-Maschinenschnittstelle, the Angel of the Man-Machine Interface.
A more metaphorical and longer-lasting Word with computers' user
interfaces as one example, and concerned with how humans think about
and use tools of all kinds.

Snicker-worthy, though I don't think it would be big enough to be an
actual Word.
It might be an informal group, though, dedicated to the art of
electronically hunting down people and demons who misuse computers.
