Iblis is a figure in a narrative as symbolic of a force of nature; the umbral side of identity, faith, and fidelity in separation, tumult, exile, death and dying.
'Iblis' may have begun as an epithet, as the notion to induce and persist in the face of grief, signifying some combination of facets of the following elements:
1. There is an element of separateness [in a caste or from another caste].
2. There is a facet of the exilic or isolation [owing to self or another] as a result or punitive effect of the mortiferous [punishment for inflicting exile or death].
3. There is the peril of an ending as a barricade [to a group, time, or place] that may portend or embody apocalypse [whether in the world or entirely in oneself].
