Ehh, I am pretty sure Hinnom et al are Jewish. Actually, I just looked it up, that is certainly the case. Did IW throw in the Annunaki to get the giant aspect? Not sure, as the Annunaki mythos in Sumeria does not include things like flesh-eating and such.

And as far as I know, there was no evidence that in Sumerian tradition, there was any interbreeding. In fact, from what we know, the Annunaki did not let ordinary people even into their presence, they had "temples" erected where they would take audience using their "priests" as mediators, IIRC.
Good point. I tend to equate early Hebrew <=> Sumerian (it sure looks like they're drawing on the same source material, filtered through different lenses) but they don't have to be the same thing from a game perspective. And you've pointed out one big difference between the Annunaki and Hinnom's Grigori.
