Talk:W. D. Gaster/@comment-37623719-20181125183447

I dunno if this is at all relevant or whatever, but I've never seen anyone mention it anywhere when talking about Gaster (not that I've looked a whole bunch).

Knowing just a little bit about angels in abrahamic lore the name "Asriel" obviously stands out. In fact, there is an angel called "Asriel X" ("vow of God") who was named in a book called The Sword of Moses, which was edited by a man named Moses Gaster back in 1896.

I doubt it's a coincidence, but I also don't know what it could possibly mean either? I'm honestly not that into Undertale, I just recognized the name Asriel when watching my friend play. I'll leave the links to the wikipedia pages of both Moses Gaster and The Sword of Moses if anyone feels like looking into it. If this is all common knowledge already I do apologize.
