Nebro is also called Yaldabaothâone of the names of the demiurgeâaccording to that text and is one of the twelve angels created to ârule over chaos and the underworld,â whose âface flashed with fire and whose appearance was defiled with blood.â The meaning of the name Nebro is ârebelâ or âapostateâ and derives from that of the giant Nimrod of Genesis 10:8â12 and 1 Chronicles 1â10. Extra-biblical traditions state that Nimrod was a mighty king who rebelled against God and for this reason became forever associated with evil and apostasy. His status as a giant huntsman or herdsman has led to folkloric interpretations that conflate him with Orion, whose importance is explored further as part of this work's analysis of the spirit Amduscias. It is, however, his Hellenized name, Nebrod, that provides the most solid connection to the angel Nebro, whose rebellious nature and tenure as one of the angels of the underworld place him in a conceptually similar position to the fallen angels of the Book of Enoch.

The emphasis on my part is really the typical ironic of contemporary pop-Gnosticism and occulture, where Yaldabaoth is figured as a representation of the "Judeo-Christian" God as the false god, but in reality not only was he not the Christian God, Gnostic Christians treated him as a being closer to Satan (if not identical to Satan) than God, so in that sense him maybe having something to do with the Watchers makes sense. As a matter of fact, the Apocryphon of John recasts the Watchers as servants of Yaldabaoth, presenting them not as fallen angels but as angelic servants of Yaldabaoth sent to seduce, adulterate, and defile humans as part of a plan to destroy humanity entirely and suppress the "seed of spirit" connecting them to the kingdom of the Christian God - who, let me stress, is called The Father, just like the God of mainline Christianity is! You can't help but laugh when you know.
