A nickname of Lucifer and also the Antichrist
In Christian philosophy, the foretold prophet of Satan who will weed/balance out Christianity in that he will represent a negative Christ to free the world from the bounding parameters of the religion, or in biblical terms, "destroy it".
In many other religions he represents a force free of prejudice and unfair judgement. He is seen as a revolutionizing polarizing agent wielding powers from the underworld sent to rid the world of suffering, a dark angel blessed with the gifts of many deities including immense intelligence and speed. As Christ was said to have been murdered and resurrected in the Bible, the Antichrist is said to be resurrected from death by Satan (in Christianity) or a dark angel or a deity from the underworld on a significant date shortly before his reign. Alternate versions of this prophecy state that he is betrayed and discovered by a close friend (much like Jesus is from Judas) and put to death in secrecy by religious extremists, unlike Christ's open crucifixion, and that during his murder he is saved by an agent of the Devil, who kills his enemies and brings him to safety, and ultimately, his ascension.
In modern films like the Matrix, the Antichrist is portrayed as Neo, who being the 6th version, eventually fails and is brought down.
