...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.
