It sounds like you are talking about Yaldabaoth (also known as the Demiurge in Gnosticism).
According to Gnostic mythology, the aeon Sophia attempted to conceive without her consort, resulting in the birth of a deformed, lion-faced serpent deity. Ashamed and horrified by his appearance, Sophia cast him out of the divine realm (the Pleroma) and hid him inside a thick cloud. Left alone in the darkness and unaware of the higher spiritual realms above him, Yaldabaoth used his inherited divine spark to fashion the physical universe-a flawed material world bound by ignorance, decay, death, and suffering.
When viewed through that specific mythological lens, his actions stem from a place of profound cosmic abandonment and isolation rather than pure, unprovoked malice.
If you are interested in exploring this mythology further, I can:
* Detail the relationship between Yaldabaoth and Sophia
* Explain how human souls became trapped in his material world
* Compare his role to similar tragic or flawed creators in other mythologies
