* MessianicArchetype: Perhaps. He serves as more of a moral figure and positive influence on the Kid in comparison to the Judge. In one part, there's a snake found where he once was. In some Gnostic traditions, the serpent in the Garden of Eden is an agent of Sophia who seeks to save humans from the false reality the Demiurge has imprisoned them in.

* DemiurgeArchetype: Some scholars make the argument that he's a Gnostic archon, who seeks to claim the world for himself and has no tolerance for anything that escapes his knowledge, similarly to Yaldaboath. The Kid's cold forger dream can be seen as an analog for the Demiurge attempting to extinguish the pneumatic divine spark to keep humans trapped.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While it's a matter of debate whether or not Judge Holden was a real person, he most likely was just a normal man, albeit frighteningly knowledgable, well-spoken, and tall, but was unlikely to be a seemingly immortal SatanicArchetype.

This suggests that he can at least be affected by the environment to a certain extent.
