I have a better theory as opposed to lying.
It's possible that Bartleby DOES know about most everyone...but he was intrigued by Bethany because she seemed somewhat enigmatic to him... which, for a watcher, would be fairly unique...
When it dawns on him the she is the last scion, perhaps his anger was partially-motivated that her identity seemed DELIBERATELY hidden from him. Perhaps, it was suddenly obvious just how far out of the loop God kept he and Loki...
...and even worse, his bi-polarity perhaps suggested to him that the scion-lineage was shielded just in case such a crisis (as the need to smite a coupla angels) ever arose...they wouldn't see their executioner coming...
...but then again, Bartleby and Loki ARE out-of-the-loop and that's perhaps why BOTH of their minds are bloody...and why Bartleby assumes that God's intent for them is destruction...
: Metatron wasn't too forthcoming with the facts in the beginning and Azrael flat out lied to Larry and Barry...
Azrael said it himself, "I'm a fucking demon!"
The Metatron didn't lie though. He kept the truth to himself.
He's a chip off the ole Creator like that...
: So it seems that God's creations can creatively lie...
...still haven't proven that angels do though...
: Just look at Bethany and Rufus' visit to the Cardinal Glick...
Rufus is not an angel...
