Kushana:
The demiurges are the "underling deities." The Gnostic texts are full of these with various names. I agree that Gnostic roots are a Judaism that has rejected traditonal expressions of Judaism. It is also trying to be more culturally palatable to the Greco-Roman world, who can be fascinated with various gods and would identify with elements of the dualism in these texts.
