Calling to the sons of Kezel wearied me...*

I've been going absolutely crazy these past few hours trying to find something on the internet. And I know it's there - I saw it before! But here I am going through all my Nanowrimo-era links and googling till I can't google no more and nothing. (And it doesn't help that one of my links has died.)

In Time for Something Biblical, Icarus calls the infected "Sons of Kezel" and at the time I thought it was the most brilliant and apt name ever. I'm pretty sure I got this name through a search of names - angels, demons, fallen angels, I can't be sure - and I found the name-bearer to have some sort of logical affiliation with the infected - either "grr, argh" or the colour red. I'm leaning towards the "red" theory because all I've been able to google out of the damn internet is related to that, but I was certain it was some sort of biblical entity because that's why it was so awesome that they were "Sons of".

The river today is the Uizhun and flows east of Lake Urmia into the Caspian Sea. Also known as the Kezel Uzun (long gold) or the Uzun (dark red/gold)... (here)

Prof. Sayce renders Gubarra, "Fire-flame," and observes that the Sumerian Gubarra is an older form of the Akkadian Afubarra, and that the form gis-bar ("fire") shows that the original name was Gnsbarra; gus, "the sky," gus, "fire," and gus^qin, "the yellow metal" (gold) being connected words. Kibir-ra and Gibil are "dialectal forms of Gubarra." With gus compare the Uigur kis, kiz, 'fiery,' 'warm,' the Tchagatai kizi, 'warm,' the Kazan kizil, 'red,' the Kirgish kizil, 'beautiful,' the Aderbijan kizil, 'gold,' 'red,' the Osmanli kiz-mak, the Koibal-Karagass kezel, 'red,' etc... (here)

In short: Argh!

Anyone else feel like a futile internet search? Please?

ETA: I swear to fucking gods on high if I meant Kezef the Angel of Punishment (Wrath and Destruction), I will eat my hat. I will actually go out, buy, momentarily own and then consume that hat.

...I totally meant Kezef, didn't I?

Nah, it's time for some serious hat-eating. I chronically messed up the spelling of Kezef. What, L's are totally life F's.

Although, *notes community down for future reference*
