Lucifer's Rebellion

**Lucifer's Rebellion**, sometimes called the **War in Heaven** or the **First Heavenly Civil War**, was a celestial event that occurred some time early in the Primordium Age, after the creation of humans.

## History

In order to defeat the Darkness and save Creation, God imprisoned his sister. The lock and key to this prison was a symbol that would one day come to be known as the Mark of Cain. The mark was given to God's most trusted lieutenant, the second of his children, the archangel Lucifer. The Mark, however, had a corruptive influence of its own that began to sway Lucifer.

Much later, God created humans to populate the Earth. God ordered the angels of the Hosts of Heaven to bow down to humanity, Lucifer refused -- and attempted to convince other angels to join his side. Although most angels refused to follow him, he did gather enough of a following to cause a true conflict within Heaven. Ultimately, Lucifer and all who followed him were cast out of Heaven.

Lucifer himself was sent to Earth, along with a small handful of his followers who retained their powers. However, to prevent Lucifer's angelic army from amassing again, God caused many others of his followers to be scattered throughout time, destined to be incarnated within a human form.

### Aftermath: The Corruption of Eden

Knowing that Lucifer would attempt to strike at humans next, God took a handful chosen humans -- Adam, Eve, and her sisters -- into the Garden of Eden and set the angel Gadreel to guard it. Nevertheless, Lucifer entered the Garden and corrupted Lilith, who left the Garden with Lucifer. In retaliation, God created Hell and cast Lucifer and the angels still with him into its depths. Upon her death at the hands of the Old One Echidna, Lilith's soul joined them there and became the first human to become a demon -- and the first of Lucifer's demons.

God set two more angels to guard the Garden -- Julian and Juan Carlo. However, the Garden had already destabilized because of Lucifer's influence, and the demon Bulshar had manifested within it. Bulshar tempted Eve to eat the Fruit of Knowledge -- which rendered the Garden uninhabitable to humans. Adam, his sons Cain and Abel, and Eve's remaining sister fled back to Earth. Eve, meanwhile, became a demon herself and was imprisoned within the Garden.

Lucifer began grooming Abel to be his pet, the next powerful demon in his collection. Cain caught wind of this and struck a deal with Lucifer to save his brother's soul. In accordance with the deal, Cain killed Abel with the First Blade and took on Lucifer's Mark himself. Cain became the first of the Knights of Hell upon his death.

Realizing Lucifer would not and could not be prevented from interfering with humanity, even from Hell, God ordered Michael to contain Lucifer within a Cage. Despite his best efforts, Lucifer remained trapped within the Cage for eons, until the 66 Seals were broken and the Apocalypse began.
