Lilith is... not quite a fallen angel, per folklore. I imagine her as the progenitor of the Whites, actually.

Might be something to that, Lilith was originally Mesopotamian and the WCVs speak ancient Etruscan.

Not that I disagree with the possibility, but wasn't the Etruscan civilization in modern day Italy, whereas Mesopotamia is in the modern Iraq region?

The Etruscans were centered in Italy, well over 2000 miles away from Mesopotamia. The ghouls are the ones that speak Sumerian.
If we wanted to delve into the origins of the White Court, looking into the background of the Lamia seems to be a good option. The geography, language, and habits are a better fit at least.

Lamia and the lilitu demons of the Middle East sound like very similar monsters.
