Heep refers to Uriah Heep, a character from Charles Dickens' novel "David Copperfield," published in 1850. Heep is depicted as a sycophantic, manipulative clerk who embodies false humility while harboring ambition and malice. His character is often viewed as a representation of social climbing and moral duplicity. The name "Uriah Heep" has since become synonymous with obsequiousness and deceit.
