Nod, rebel faction leader = Enlil, "Lord of the Wind/Air"
The Connection
Enlil is the supreme authority among active gods, rival of Enki, who orders the flood. Nod is the rival of Van, rebel leader who built a competing civilization. The Enki-Enlil rivalry mirrors the Van-Nod split: two members of the same divine staff who split into opposing factions.

Historical Evidence(Moderate evidence)
Samuel Noah Kramer (U. Penn) argued for a theological rivalry between Enki and Enlil throughout his career. The Atrahasis Epic (c. 1800 BCE) explicitly shows Enlil attempting to destroy humanity through plague, drought, and flood while Enki secretly warns his human protege. Kramer interpreted the flood narratives as reflecting "the struggle between the rival theologies and priesthoods of Eridu and Nippur."
