Great name for someone who would seek to participate in governance, which should be the exact opposite of chaos and darkness. I'm assuming that "our" Apophis knows nothing about Greek or Egyptian mythology, but is probably aware of the Stargate character. For a description of that character, CLICK HERE. Not a very nice guy.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
