Sobek is a good guess, but apparently (page 6) it's Taweret, mistress of the horizon and the demon-wife of Apep, the original Egyptian god of evil.

Where are people getting this "Esau/Smokey/New Locke" stuff from? have I missed something? People seem to be discussing it as though it were obvious and a definite fact, but I don't recall seeing anything to confirm it.
- I recall the Jacob/Esau bibilical story. I recall at the start of the episode jacob was on the beach with someone else who said he'd kill him when he found a loophole, and that the fake Locke confirmed to Jacob that he'd found said loophole (not that I understand what loophole he found), which indicates fake Locke is the same guy who sat on the beach with Jacob.
- I don't, however, recall him being referred to as "Esau" (did I just miss it?), or that he was the smoke monster. Is there more to that conclusion than one of them just happening to be called "Jacob"?
Problem with the show is that it's so convoluted and changeable, and with so many random scheduling gaps, that I lose track of what's going on.
- Does "Ricardus" mean anything, or is just an indication that Richard's old?

The Lost fan community has dubbed the unnamed loophole guy 'Esau' because of the Jacob/Esau myth. There may be some theories floating around, but it's just a handy name.

Yeah, in my case, I hadn't heard anything from "the Lost community," I just used it as a handy name.

He's in the credits as "Jacob's Enemy". Esau works well as a short-hand. Even if they aren't using Jacob and Esau, it works for us, for now.
