Lucifer Morningstar

: "Oh, I'm the only one that matters. See, you messed with my daughter, and now... I am going to FUCK YOU!"
: ―Lucifer Morningstar, to Adam
King Lucifer Magne Morningstar of Hell and Pride (born Prince Lucifer of Heaven) is a fallen angel and a supporting character in Hazbin Hotel who made his debut in "Dad Beat Dad".
He is the father of Charlie Morningstar, the adoptive father of Angel Dust, and the estranged husband of Lilith. He is the ruler of all of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Pride.
== Appearance ==
Lucifer is a slender-figured fallen angel who sports a near-resemblance to his daughter; having her white skin with rosy-cheeks, blonde hair with thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler-blonde highlights, and eyes with light yellow sclera and red pupils. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie, not by a large amount, but still notable.
The difference between the two is that his mouth is full of sharp teeth, his hair is short-cut and has been slicked-back with one tuft sticking out, his pupils are slit like a snake, and his cheeks are somewhat a paler shade of red. In addition, he also sported sharp eyebrows which are black in color, and his eyelids are colored light purple. His forearms also appear to be dark grey when his sleeves are rolled up.
Lucifer's white-red clothing is somewhat like a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with several golden buttons - his coat worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and an accessorized black bowtie. In "The Show Must Go On" his suit has red and golden epaulettes, resembling those of a ringmaster.
He also wore a set of heeled black knee-high boots, and on his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring.
Lucifer carries an apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. As a former angel, he possesses three pairs of white wings with red feathers, which he can extend from his coat.
=== Full Demon ===
When he takes on his full demonic form, as well as displaying his wings, he displays a pair of red horns with an orb of fire between them and a thin crown resembling a snake with an apple above his hat. His eyes also change to have red sclera with yellow pupils. He also has a black tail with spikes that ends in a triangular tip with a red heart at the center.
Eyes also appear on the inside his coattails; a similar eye also appears on his bowtie. In addition, his entire body gives off a light white glow.
== Personality ==
Despite his status as the ruler of all of Hell, Lucifer possesses a grandiose and dramatic nature, acting very over-the-top in most situations. He often switches between being silly and theatrical to awkward and melancholic. Like Charlie, Lucifer is ambitious in what he believes in. According to the storybook that Charlie read in "Overture", Lucifer was an idealistic dreamer whose accidental creation of Hell and subsequent banishment to it caused him to give up his dreams. After he and Lilith separated, Lucifer went into isolation and fell into a depression. He coped by crafting and hoarding tons of rubber ducks, spending years in his home. This obsession also caused him to become estranged from his daughter, to the point where he barely calls Charlie at all.
As a father, he falls short of expectations. Although he loves Charlie dearly, he seems to be preoccupied with his own problems. He seldom calls Charlie, and when he does, it's usually because he's bored or needs something. When Charlie reached out to him for help in setting up a meeting with Heaven, he was thrilled to hear from her. However, he couldn't recall where she was or what she was doing, even though she had shared her passion project, the Hazbin Hotel, with him months ago. He also wasn't aware that Charlie was dating someone, or that she was attracted to women. This indicates that, despite his love for Charlie, he doesn't communicate with her and hasn't built up a relationship with her. Although, it was shown that Lucifer was much closer to Charlie in her childhood, only becoming more distant in Charlie’s adulthood.
While he is the King of Hell, Lucifer hardly rules over his subjects and leaves them to their own devices. As a result his name (and by extension Charlie) carries little weight. While the denizens of hell recognize that he is powerful force to be reckoned with they seem to know that little, if anything, would actually make him show up. Lucifer dislikes the Sinners of Hell and describes them as "violent, destructive psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible". According to him, they are all "the worst" and he does not believe they can be redeemed and he cares little for what happens to them. Despite his disapproval of sinners, Lucifer hints that he regrets his role in ever giving them free will due to what they had done with it and the consequences that came from this.
Although he understands his daughter's interest in rehabilitating Sinners, Lucifer is cynical about the idea of trying to save any of them, as he attempted to redeem sinners in the past, stating that Charlie doesn't know when he tried this all before, and that his dreams were too hard to defend. Since Heaven was so unwilling to listen to him in the past, he does not want Charlie to go through the same thing. However, she still manages to convince him to arrange a meeting in Heaven for her and Vaggie, which helps Lucifer regain faith in her plans.
Lucifer is fiercely protective of Charlie, as seen when he threatens her bodyguards, Razzle and Dazzle, that they had better been doing their job protecting her. Later, when Alastor began rubbing in on his failings to be a proper, supportive father to Charlie and her dreams and implying to how he had taken his place as Charlie’s father figure, Lucifer displays jealousy toward Alastor, whom began to see as a rival for Charlie's affection and become insecure about his father-daughter bond with her. In "The Show Must Go On", he arrived late, but joined the fight against Adam and the Exorcists, helping Charlie defeat them.
He sometimes doesn't think about what he says, saying he'll "fuck you" to Adam instead of saying he'll "fuck you up". When Charlie corrected him, he asked what he said.
He is not afraid to fight, as when he fearlessly battles against Adam. He isn't afraid to annoy Adam by saying that he slept with Eve, which is left ambiguous if it either just to bait him or if it was true. He even gets carried away in fighting, like when he punches Adam over and over and was about to finish him off until Charlie stopped him.
He shows more intimidation prowess when he orders Lute to take her friends and go home, but not without saying "please" in a polite manner.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Natural Powers ===
* Angelic Power ― Lucifer was born with an astonishing amount of angelic power that rendered him naturally stronger than all demons and standard angels without having to train a day in his life. His capabilities extend far beyond even Hell's most powerful demons such as the Overlords, the Goetia Clan, and the Seven Deadly Sins.
** Animation ― Lucifer possesses the remarkable ability to imbue inanimate objects with life, a power demonstrated through the creation of Razzle and Dazzle. These two entities were originally lifeless dolls until Lucifer granted them the gift of sentience and appointed them as Charlie's devoted bodyguards.
** Cloudwalking ― Lucifer can naturally walk and travel on clouds as if they were a solid surface, an ability that seems to only be applied to angels.
** Divinity ― As a fallen archangel and son of God, Lucifer possesses an incredibly amount of divine magic that allows him to truly destroy and erase the souls of sinners and demons, killing them spiritually and physically. He can also erase other angelic entities without much effort.
** Ergokinesis ― Lucifer can project red, white, yellow, and pink concussive blasts of pure concentrated energy from his hands, eyes, and from the edges of his wings. These blasts carry considerable power, as they are capable of permanently destroying demons and sinners.
*** Force-Field Generation ― Lucifer can conjure extremely strong barriers of angelic energy to defend himself from offensive attacks. These forcefields are capable of vaporizing virtually anything hurled at the King of Hell before they can make contact with him.
** Flight ― As with all angels and archangels, Lucifer possesses wings that allow him to fly at tremendous speed, as well as levitate in midair. As a Seraph angel, he possesses six wings to denote his rank, rather than the usual two, which grant him far more speed and mobility than the average angel.
** Fire Immunity ― Lucifer is immune all manner of fire, including hellfire and holy fire. As a Seraph angel, fire burns within Lucifer naturally.
** Immortality ― Lucifer is immortal and is incapable of dying through any natural or mortal means. Being one of the first creations of God, he has been alive since nearly the beginning of time and life itself, almost before the creation of the Universe. As a seraph angel, he is virtually invincible to any physical or magical form of harm, outside of the power of equal or superior divine magic, or archangel blades. He never seems to tire even after sustaining injuries, and is likely beyond the need of food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain himself.
*** Nigh-Invulnerability ― Like all archangels, Lucifer is blessed with invulnerability to nearly all forms of damage and injury. Nothing short of immensely powerful divine magic superior to his own can kill, or much less harm him, and even holy weapons, which are capable of easily killing demons and lower angels, have no effect on him.
*** Regeneration ― Lucifer's angelic physiology possesses a powerful regenerative healing factor, which allows him to quickly regenerate from wounds, regardless of the severity. His healing factor is especially potent as a result of being a seraph.
** Nigh-Omnificence ― Though creation is a natural power for angels, Lucifer's creation magic is especially potent; He is capable of instantly spawning objects such as instruments, knives, swords, flowers, and books out of thin air, and can easily creating living organisms of his design with a casual snap of his fingers.
*** Weapon Manifestation ― Using creation magic, Lucifer can manifest various weapons of angelic properties out of different parts of his body, most often his hands. He usually generates swords, blades, daggers, throwing knives, spears, and axes. These weapons are incredibly durable and sharp, and can swiftly kill any entity they cut with sufficient and lethal precision.
** Photokinesis ― As an angel, Lucifer has an amazingly strong connection to light, and is a proficient user of light manipulation, in which he was taught the ability by God Himself. Lucifer is able to create, shape, and manipulate light; unlike other angels, Lucifer is notable for using his holy light to melt demons and sinners down to flesh and bone, or shape his holy light into powerful energy beams capable of making demons explode into gore. He can also solidify light and create energy blasts, arrows, swords, and many other weapons out of solidified photons. As an angel, Lucifer also possesses an inner glow that occasionally appears whenever he finds himself in a dark environment, which subsequently allows him to see in darkness.
** Supernatural Endurance ― Lucifer has substantially greater endurance than a normal angel, allowing him to fly and fight for extremely long periods of time.
*** Self-Sustenance ― Lucifer possesses eternal stamina and does not require food, water, sleep, or oxygen to maintain himself.
** Teleportation ― Lucifer can travel anywhere he desires, this includes across the Universe and other dimensions, instantly without occupying the space in between, often vanishing and reappearing in a dazzling white light. However, he is currently unable to properly access Heaven and Earth, due to God's divine interference.
*** Dimensional Travel ― Lucifer possesses the ability to travel across different dimensions. Lucifer can exit and enter even the prison dimension of Purgatory as he wishes, since he is a high-ranking angel, and easily travel back to Hell.
* Demonic Transformation ― As a fallen angel, he is capable of transforming into a more powerful demonic form.
=== Unique Powers ===
* Animal Manipulation ― Lucifer appears to have a symbiotic control over his pet snakes and can communicate with them telepathically.
* Atmokinesis ― Lucifer can alter the weather across all seven rings of Hell to a seemingly limitless degree, but often in a way that depends on his mood, such as making it cloudy, sunny, or creating thunderstorms of many different kinds.
* Cerebrokinesis ― Lucifer mentions that he has the ability to manipulate and control the minds of others, however he does not do so as he does not feel the need to.
* Clairvoyance ― Lucifer can see and hear through all of the eyeballs scattered throughout Hell, allowing him to use them as surveillance. He can also conjure magical screens with a simple wave of his hand that allow him to see and watch over anything and/or anyone across the seven rings of Hell.
* Dark Magic ― Having mastered the powers of drkness and light, Lucifer has complete and total mastery over dark or demonic magic, eclipsing even the greatest of Overlords and demons in terms of raw power. His control over demonic magic is essentially unrivaled, and he is able to perform near-limitless amounts of feats.
** Umbrakinesis ― Having learned the ability from Satan, Lucifer can manipulate darkness and shadows with extreme proficiency, as well as darkening an area with his mere presence. He can also summon shadowy tentacles, tendrils, dark vortexes, and sentient creatures of darkness that he can manipulate to do his bidding.
* Elemental Manipulation ― Lucifer can create, shape and manipulate the basic elements of nature, the rudimentary, simplest or essential parts/principles of which nature consists of. While he mostly prefers to use fire, he has on occasion used other elements such as earth, water, or the air.
** Acidokinesis ― Lucifer can produce clouds that generate sulfuric acid.
** Pyrokinesis ― Like his daughter, Charlie, he also has the power to manipulate fire at will. When fighting Adam in "The Show Must Go On" he is seen creating balls of fire out of thin air at will.
*** Fire Breath ― He can make fire come out of his mouth when he speaks.
* Fragokinesis ― Lucifer is capable of overcharging objects with unstable explosive energy with just a single gesture from his hand, causing them to overload and violently explode. This ability proved to be Lucifer's most commonly utilized method of dealing with melee-based opponents, as the attack would often injure or kill the wielder as a result, along with destroying their weaponry.
* Existence Erasure ― One of Lucifer's most powerful abilities allows the King of Hell to completely erase lowers entities from existence by just snapping his fingers.
* Hallucikinesis ― Lucifer can create, shape and manipulate illusions/hallucinations, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist.
* Oneirokinesis ― Lucifer can alter the dreams and nightmares of others, being able to affect the dreams of all within Hell.
* Perception Manipulation ― Lucifer is capable of manipulating the way other entities perceive him. This was demonstrated during his visit to Porn Studios, where he made Valentino see him in a demonic form as a way to intimidate the moth demon, while Angel Dust and Valentino's other workers simply saw Lucifer as himself.
* Power Granting ― Lucifer can bestow immense power into any entity of his choosing. He gifted Lilith with her demoni magic, which allowed her to become the third most powerful being in Hell.
* Shapeshifting ― Lucifer can shapeshift into a wide variety of animals, as seen in "The Show Must Go On", he took the forms of a snake, a goat, a bird, a horse, and an octopus. When he shapeshifts, he keeps his coloration, hair, and top hat.
* Sonic Scream ― When enraged, Lucifer is capable of shouting at such a high volume that it is capable of causing other entities to be flown back or even explode from the intensity.
* Soul Manipulation ― Lucifer can claim ownership over the souls of others through deals and contracts. Often times, demons sell their souls to him for immense power.
* Summoning ― Lucifer is able to transport one or multiple entities or objects of choice directly to him with a simple snap of his fingers.
* Telekinesis ― Lucifer is able to move and immobilize objects and living organisms around with his mind with great ease, as well as halt the motor skills of other entities to render them immobilized.
* Transmutation ― Lucifer can alter the shape of an object or even living entities. He demonstrated his skill in transmutation by turning his scepter into a trident and later an angelic sword, removing the color from a rainbow Charlie had created, and by turning a couch into a piano. In combat situations, Lucifer often utilizes his transmutation to effortlessly transform his enemies' weapons into harmless substances.
** Biokinesis ― Lucifer's transmutation rendered him capable of warping the biological aspects of living organisms.
* Duplication ― Lucifer can create multiple copies of himself.
* Portal Creation ― In "Dad Beat Dad", Lucifer was shown to conjure portals as a means of instant transportation, which other demons can use.
* Liquid Manipulation ― He throws a yellow-colored liquid at Alastor during Hell's Greatest Dad, presumably apple juice, given he was pointing an apple-headed staff at him.
=== Abilities ===
"Haha, looks like you could use some help from the big boss of Hell himself! Check out daddy's glowing reviews on Yelp. (Five stars! Flawless! Greater than great!)" ―Lucifer, Hell's Greatest Dad
* Musical Talent ― Similar to his daughter, Lucifer partakes in singing.
** Instrumental Talent ― Additionally, he's shown to be quite a skilled fiddle player during his musical duet with Alastor. Lucifer also showed that he could play an accordion to a minor degree.
* Craftsmanship ― Lucifer spends his time making rubber ducks with various gimmicks such as flipping backwards and spitting fire.
* Hand-to-Hand Combat ― He is adept at physical combat, as he held his own against Adam in "The Show Must Go On".
* Authority ― As the King of the Hell and absolute highest in Hell's hierarchy, Lucifer holds absolute dominion and authority over the demonic realm and all of its inhabitants, with countless forces and private armies to enforce his laws and policies, including the Overlords, the Ars Goetia, the Seven Deadly Sins, and Hell's corrupt police departments. His authority allows him to effectively do whatever he wants, give orders to others that must be followed under the threat of death, and allows him to order anyone who displeased him, even members of Hell's nobility, to be imprisoned or executed, regardless of the trumped-up charges. Regardless, he does not control the inhabitants of Hell, as most of Hell's denizens have no actual respect for Lucifer's authority, and some have even threatened him and directly opposed his reign, albeit to horrific results.
* Deal-Making ― Lucifer is capable of gaining more power through deals, granting his clients power that most sinners could never hope to achieve while at the same time taking control of his client's souls to keep them from using their new power against him and order them as he pleases.
* Multilingualism ― Lucifer is well-versed in human languages such as English, French, and Italian, his capability of French being seen in his interactions with Lilith. He can also speak in both angelic and demonic tongues.
* Natural Weaponry ― Lucifer can use his claws, teeth, wings, and the horns of his true form as offensive weapons.
* Wealth ― Lucifer is one of the wealthiest entities in Hell due to his status (only beaten by Mammon), which grants him the ability to have practically everything he wants, including a theme park in his image which he had built on a whim.
=== Weapons ===
* Angelic Blades ― Lucifer is capable of manifesting blades of angelic properties from his body, from daggers to swords. Lucifer's most utilized weapon for engaging in combat is an angelic sword with a jagged blade.
* Scepters ― Lucifer is rarely seen without his signature pointed scepter that is topped with an apple. He can summon his scepter at will as well as create new ones entirely from scratch, and is shown to possess a collection of them. Although they are more of a symbol of his authority, he has previously used his scepter to vibe check people who annoy him.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Archangel Weaponry ― While Lucifer is completely invulnerable to weapons used by angels and the Exterminators, weapons that are used and wielded by the archangels can cause severe injury to him and, depending on the skill of the wielder, are capable of erasing him.
* Divine Intervention ― One of Lucifer's most significant weaknesses is the power of superior divine entities.
* Family ― Lucifer's most prevalent weakness is his soft spot for his wife, Lilith, and his two children, Angel and Charlie.
=== Other Characteristics ===
* Mental Illness and Disorder ― Like many other individuals, Lucifer shows signs and symptoms of several mental disorders and disabilities.
** Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ― Lucifer is autistic, having been diagnosed from childhood. Most notably, he has difficulty with social cues and has a special interest in ducks.

== Trivia ==
* Lucifer's first name translates to "shining one", "the morning star" (referring to Venus), or "light-bringer" in Latin from Hebrew. One of these translations matches his surname, Morningstar.
* Lucifer is based on the Biblical character of Lucifer, a rendition of the Devil that was cast from Heaven and into Hell as a fallen angel.
** In some versions of the Biblical character, the Devil takes on more than one name, including Lucifer and Satan. However, in other interpretations, Lucifer and Satan are portrayed as two separate entities. This is the case in Hazbin Hotel, where Lucifer and Satan are portrayed as distinct characters.
*** Furthermore, Lucifer represents the sin of pride while Satan represents the sin of wrath.
* Lucifer is the first of the deadly sins to debut in Hazbin Hotel and the fourth to debut in the franchise overall.
* Lucifer is said to have a good relationship with his younger brother, Michael.
* The apple tucked in the brim of his hat, and on the end of his cane, seem to reference the story of Adam and Eve, where a talking snake (often interpreted as being the Devil) persuades the first woman, Eve, into eating a forbidden fruit (often depicted in pop-culture as an apple), resulting in her and Adam being thrown out of paradise.
** According to Faustisse, Lucifer's favorite snack is caramel apples.
* Faustisse believes that Lucifer is not a particularly good father. Despite them not specifying in what way that might be, they did say he still loves Charlie. This was shown in "Dad Beat Dad", as Charlie says that she and him haven't been close ever since he and Lilith split and he only ever contacted Charlie to do something for him. Aside from that, Lucifer didn't have any faith in Sinners or Charlie's dream of helping Sinners redeem themselves and ascend into Heaven, which eventually changes later in the episode.
* As implied by Lute in "Overture" and elaborated on in "Dad Beat Dad", Lucifer works together with the Exorcists and Heaven in regards to the Extermination. Lute also stated that he had somehow arranged a "pardon" for Charlie and the other Hellborn demons, making it so that Exorcists are only allowed to kill Sinners per Heaven's agreement with him.
* According to Vivziepop, Lucifer can play many types of instruments very well, including the fiddle, which he plays "phenomenally well".
** During his duet with Alastor, Lucifer is shown playing a golden fiddle, a reference to the famous Charlie Daniels song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".
* In "Dad Beat Dad", Lucifer is shown to be left-handed as he plays the fiddle with his left hand and holds his cane in his left hand.
** In the seventeenth century, it was believed that the Devil baptized his followers with his left hand, in superstition there are many references that the left hand is associated with evil, inquisition sometimes burned those who were left-hand dominant.
* In the Helluva Boss episode "Loo Loo Land", Lucifer is stated to own a theme park called Lu Lu World.
** In the same episode, it is revealed that the titular amusement park has an amusement ride named "Fun House" which has its exterior modeled after Lucifer's head.
* Lucifer has a massive collection of rubber ducks.
* In his mansion, alongside his numerous photos of Charlie and Lilith, he has a picture of himself hugging what looks like a younger Frederick von Eldritch. There is also a photo of Seviathan von Eldritch and Charlie that can be momentarily seen in "Dad Beat Dad".
* Fitting his circus ringmaster theme, the ringtone on his phone is a very well-known motif from "Entry of the Gladiators", a classic song known for its association with the circus.
* His theme song would either be "The Greatest Show" from The Greatest Showman, or "This is The Life" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
* As seen on Loona's Sinstagram account, there is a documentary about Lucifer's life simply titled Lucifer that is available to stream on Voxflix.
* It is strongly implied that Lucifer has compulsive hoarding disorder, due to his habit of hoarding and surrounding himself with an excessive number of things that bring him joy.
* There is a service in Hell named after Lucifer known as Lucimaster, though it is unclear if Lucifer owns the app or if it was simply made in his name.
* According to the creator, Lucifer would not have a godly parent in the PJO universe. Instead, he would be a mortal who would be able to see through the mist.
