Because the word "Creator" is capitalized, the implication is he is

Creator, or any other word that refers to Him.
That's JHVH. Actually, to be more accurate, it's the Hebrew characters
most closely corresponding to JHVH or JHWH, sometimes written as
Jehovah, sometimes as Jahveh or Jahweh, to suggest particular
pronunciations, but the way it is actually, historically, pronounced
has been lost.
Not in the writings of other cultures who had encounters with this God.
They wanted to be sure to get His name right when warning others not to
mess with Yahweh. But this is only one of His many names. Adonai is
another, as is Elohim, just to list two more.
