Lucifer

Lucifer is a demon whose first appearance in Obey Me!'s Main Story and Nightbringer's Main Story was in Lesson 1-1. He has six brothers, and as the most powerful of the seven, he holds the title of "first-born." He also possesses the title "Avatar of Pride" and is a representative of that sin. As one of the main characters in both Obey Me! and Nightbringer, he is included in both games' Intimacy system.
== Appearance ==
Lucifer has short, black hair with a part on the left side, and pale skin. His eyes are a gradient of black and carmine red, and while often hidden by his gloves, his nails are also painted carmine red. They are kept so by Asmodeus, as he mentioned in Lesson 37-12 (OM). He has painted Lucifer's nails for him since before the brothers' fall into the Devildom.
As seen in the official height chart, Lucifer is the second-tallest of the seven brothers, only slightly shorter than Beelzebub.
== Personality ==
As the first-born of the seven brothers, a member of RAD's student council, and the right-hand man of Lord Diavolo, Lucifer sees himself — accurately — as a symbol of authority. He is always mindful of his position when it comes to his behavior, and holds both himself and his actions to a very high standard.
Even when Lucifer doesn't want to do something, he takes the task seriously and does his best to give exemplary results. This is a situation he often finds himself in due to his loyalty to Diavolo. The demon prince often makes requests of Lucifer that he'd rather have no part in, but even if he complains, Lucifer still does his best to make his centuries-long friend happy.
An example of one such situation is in the Pop Quiz Ruri-chan Is My Bae, when Diavolo asked him to both hand out flyers and write a report about the Ruri-chan-themed foods that will be given to all of the RAD students. Despite him considering the whole affair ridiculous, he still wrote the report in a formal and proper manner.
As an angel, Lucifer used to speak quite harshly, bordering on rude in some instances, but was still very direct and honest about his feelings. After the fall, his behavior changed so that he typically acts calm and rational. Asmodeus mentioned in Lesson 37-11 (OM) that he thinks this is a front Lucifer puts up so that everyone will think he's perfect.
Lucifer holds the title "Avatar of Pride" for good reason, as his pride refuses to let him be seen as anything other than perfect. This is true even when it comes to minor details, such as in Lesson 7 (OM), when everyone is invited to take part in a retreat at the Demon Lord's Castle. Lucifer rushed both MC and his brothers in getting ready, and insisted that they leave as soon as possible. This is so they would be the first to arrive at the castle, and be present before those staying at Purgatory Hall.
These very high standards that Lucifer sets for himself extend to his brothers as well. This fact often leads to him feeling stressed out and frustrated when his siblings fail to meet said standards. As mentioned by Belphegor in Lesson 37-1 (OM), Lucifer is prone to having headaches, which he frequently blames on having to deal with his brothers' antics.
Lucifer is quick to both threaten and dole out punishments to those who defy him or disappoint him, as his brothers — especially Mammon — can attest to. This dynamic is seen from the very beginning in Lesson 1-3 (OM), when Lucifer threatens to punch Mammon if he doesn't be quiet, but doesn't give him time to listen before punching him.
Despite his frequent punishments, however, Lucifer truly does love all of his brothers. He has difficulty showing it, especially in public settings, and even tries to deny caring for his brothers when it's brought up, as he did in the Devilgram Being the Oldest. Lucifer typically chooses to show he cares for his brothers in subtle ways, such as when he bought Mammon a chocolate lizard keychain in Lesson 11-10 (OM), or by staying up all night to give all his brothers Christmas presents in the Devilgram Big Brother Santa Claus.
Lucifer is generally well-liked by the public, but — as he mentioned in the Devilgram Lucifer's Lover — he has no desire to be popular. This attitude is evident in the chat Identity, when Satan and Belphegor stumbled across his DevilTube channel. They did not know it was Lucifer because Lucifer hid his identity, posting under the pseudonym "Masked DevilTuber." He presumably told stories on this channel, but stopped posting after a week.
Lucifer also seems to be the type of person to hold onto objects for sentimental value. In the chat Ticket Stubs 1, Lucifer claimed that he does not hold onto his ticket stubs after an event. However, in the subsequent chat — Ticket Stubs 2 — Simeon accused Lucifer of lying about this. He also asked Lucifer if he had kept the portrait his brothers made of him in art class, which Lucifer did not deny. In Lesson 13 (OM), Satan said that he had assumed the attic was where Lucifer kept "sentimental treasures" from the Celestial Realm.

== Powers and Abilities ==
Lucifer is the most powerful of the demon brothers and the Avatar of Pride. According to Satan in Lesson 9-7 (OM), he was given the rank of eldest amongst his brothers by the Demon King due to his immense demonic and magical powers. He has the ability to easily dispel most curses as mentioned on several occasions, one example being in the Devilgram The Flower of Love. However, Lucifer is unable to reverse the effects of magic originating from the Celestial Realm, as shown in the Pop Quizzes Paws and Claws and Angelic Demons. However, he is still capable of resisting some of the effects from said magic. For example, in the Paws and Claws Pop Quiz, Lucifer was able to maintain his self-control after eating a potion-laced cake that gave him animal traits and instincts.
Lucifer has also demonstrated having great physical strength in Lesson 8-19 (OM). During a pillow fight in the Demon Lord's Castle, after losing his cool, he was able to bore a hole through one of the beds just by throwing a pillow.
In the Date Lucifer Love, it was shown that Lucifer is capable of at least minor healing magic. This is possibly an anomaly among demons, who do not typically seem capable of healing magic.
