**Lucifer**, also known by his true name **Helel**, or by his titles as **Satan**, the **Devil**, the **Morning Star**, **Son of Dawn** and **Child of God**, is the Fallen Archangel of pride, sin, free will and the stars. He is known by Christians as an angel who rebelled against God in the past and was expelled from Paradise.

## Overview

Lucifer was one of the most beautiful and indescribable beings created by God, with his wisdom and beauty being described as perfect. He was worshiped by ancient peoples before the Adamic era as the Son of God, the Prince of Peace and as a God of Light and Divinity.

Such was his glory that his Father, God, gave Lucifer a throne of his own on a high mountain, surrounded by precious stones and flaming stones. Lucifer was an archangel, but he was also called an Anointed Cherubim, placed in the Garden of God, enlightening human souls and bringing the glory of Jehovah to everyone.

However, despite being considered a perfect, beautiful, and glorious being by countless angels, Lucifer was extremely proud and rebelled against his Father after refusing to bow down to Adam and Eve, whom he deemed unworthy of worship because he had been created from the divine light of the Creator, while Adam and Eve were created from dust. Therefore, Lucifer is known as the first sinner, the devil and the adversary.

## Appearance

Lucifer is known to be one of the most beautiful angels in the universe, being called perfect in beauty and wisdom. Lucifer's true form was originally an intense light as bright as the sun, expanding and contracting into himself. After his fall, Lucifer's true form became pure darkness, as if in dense, expanding smoke.

Lucifer's angel form was a being of pure beauty, as he embodied both male and female attributes in his body, that is, he was androgynous. Lucifer had a delicate and feminine face, with a slender body and white as snow, with his hair, contrary to popular belief, not being blond or white, but rather reddish red. He had a halo over his head, and features of both sexes. Yet, his main feature was undoubtedly his wings, which were white as light, and there were fourteen in all, representing the perfect number of God, for seven added to seven is fourteen.

In his human form, Lucifer is a 40-year-old male, 1.8 tall, with short hair. He wears a pair of dress shoes, a black suit, a button-down shirt with white stripes, and a loose blue tie accented by a beige overcoat. In another human form, Lucifer has short, messy blond hair and light blue eyes. He is six feet tall. Her usual attire consists of a green t-shirt, a loose dark green shirt, blue jeans and dark shoes. Lucifer is able to summon about 14 black wings on his back, which were originally white as the snow. The number 14 is said to represent God's perfect number.

In his demonic form, Lucifer drastically changes his appearance, in this form the Morning Star's skin is thick, he has goat's paws, claws sprout from his hands and he has a dragon's tail. His face becomes a satanic scowl, with black horns and red fangs. When it takes on this appearance, people are startled by the drastic shift from angelic beauty to a horrible monster. Lucifer, when he sees people's reactions, likes to joke saying: "the Devil has many faces".

## Personality

Lucifer has always shown himself to be a highly astute and intelligent individual, having managed to convince a third of Heaven to follow him in his rebellion against God. Lucifer is a proud Archangel while existing as the personification of pride itself, instilling fear and respect in sinners and demons. Lucifer is also highly cruel, barbaric, and traitorous to those who stand in his way, and despite claiming to be the victim of God and his love for humanity, he has no qualms about killing anything or anyone, even if he has no true motive to do so.

During the early days of the Universe, Lucifer was an extremely kind, honest angel, described as "perfect in his ways", so perfect that God placed him on a throne on an anointed mountain, adorned with burning stones known only as fire-infused stones. However after God created human beings, an Evil Entity began to corrupt Lucifer to cause the Archangel's dissatisfaction, she caused his pride to grow in such a way that when God asked him to bow down to Adam and Eve, his pride would not allow it, which angered God. Lucifer ended up becoming arrogant, thinking that God was senile and the Heaven needed a new ruler, him. Lucifer was expelled from heaven, which ended up making him even more arrogant and proud than before.

Similar to Gabriel, Lucifer has a sense of humor, rare in many angels. He can be sarcastic and casually indifferent, usually a testament to his arrogance. In an honest conversation with God, he demonstrates his indignation at the way God treated him for rebelling against humans. After God answered him how it hurt him to have to expel the Morning Star from Heaven and that despite everything he did, he still loved him, Lucifer ended up making peace with his Father.

Despite all of his pride, arrogance and evil, Lucifer has still good traits as he considers Beelzebub as a friend and he still loves his father God while holds respect to both of his brothers Gabriel and Michael despite the latter grudge against him for his betrayal. He even married the Arcutha Tarice and have a son Akiel with her, loving them both deeply. Even after Satan told him about possible threat which could his son possesses due to his unique herritage, Lucifer despite his paranoia, did not harm his son instead he hide both him and Tarica to save place until his son would be at age to visit the God - his grandfather.

## Powers and Abilities

Lucifer was one of the most powerful angels and archangels of Yesh, possessing a nigh-omnipotent power so great that it rivals Michael, being a "little" stronger than the Right Arm of God. He has such great power that with a mere snap of his fingers he managed to disintegrate several Cherubim soldiers who were guarding his Cage. Even with his power suppressed to the maximum, he was still more powerful than Leviathan, his current right-hand man, with his full power. Lucifer, like his brother Michael, was also capable to fight with and destroy some of the Outer Gods. He is also considered being capable of rivaling even the second generation primordial gods and cosmic entities.

* **Fallen Transcendent Angel & Archdemon Physiology**: Being one of first angels in existence. Lucifer is both an all powerful angel and an archdemon lord of the Underworld. He is one of the fallen that rebelled against God, and cast out in the abyss of Hell. After his fall and transformation as an archdemon king and emperor of hell, he does not just gained immense demonic powers, but also retains his angelic powers, making him more powerful and highly dangerous enemy of Heaven and the Mortal Realms. He is surpassed only by Satan, and is rivalled only by the Archangel Michael and Merkabah.
* **Immense Power (Supernatural Powers)**: Being both a fallen true archangel and an archdemon, Lucifer is highly a very power fallen angel and demon, being rivalled only by his brother Michael(although is believed that Lucifer narrowly surpassing him) and surpassed by Satan. He is much more powerful than the other fallen angels (aside from Satan and Satanael), and the native demons of Hell, and being the "Morningstar", he retained his angelic powers and beauty. He is considered more powerful than any existing demon kings/lords, and even more powerful than even the likes of chief deities of most pantheons rivaling even some Primevals. He possess unimaginable angelic and demonic powers, that upon his appearance on Earth, it causes an unimaginable disasters and distort the very fabric of reality itself. He have innumerable powers that are beyond the comprehension of that of lesser demonic beings and fallen angels. He is able to rule over an entire pantheon (notably the demons in the Abrahamic lore) as their king out of both power and fear with very few beings capable of opposing them. This is one of the very reason why he is feared among the beings in Hell and united them as one.
	+ **Divine-Demonic Force Manipulation**: Being both a fallen archangel and supreme emperor of the demons, Lucifer have both control of anything that is symbolized as both divine/holy and demonic/unholy and has connections to gods, angels and demons. He is able to manipulate sacred and profane artifacts and relics that are connected to the gods, angels, demons, or his own power. Due to controlling both holy and unholy, he could be in complete balance between the two forces, though he often use both for malevolent intentions and bring disorder upon creation. Additionally, his ability not only grants the user great power, abilities, and control over numerous variations of divine-demonic powers, but also allows him to overwhelm weaker demons and angels as well as rival or surpass that of powerful entities, mainly his brother Michael.
	+ **Malefic Force Manipulation**: Lucifer gained the ability to manipulate the force of evil energy after his fall and use it to fulfill his desires, whether it be from a dimension, object, or another being. Usually he use it to cause man to sin, spread chaos, death, terrors, wars, strife, and corrupt many things to his desire.
* **Supernatural Speed & Reflexes**: Lucifer is glaringly and obviously fast, agile, and can move at god-like speed. His speed and reflexes allows him to predict, analyze, and see-through his opponent's movements and attack patterns. During his fight with Michael, they were capable of moving at such speed that they break the very fabric of space itself, and can cause sonic booms.
* **Nigh-Absolute Invulnerability**: Lucifer's body is highly indestructible and invulnerable to both physical blunt, magical, conventional, mental, spiritual attacks, conceptual, and even metaphysical. Being a former primordial archangel (turned fallen) and the greatest demon emperor to hailed in all of Hell, Lucifer possess nigh limitless pain tolerance and invulnerability. He can take on all holy light-based attacks that are considered deadly towards demons, with minor/little to no damages, and so far only Michael, Gabriel, or his son Akiel are the only ones that can manage to hurt him. His durability, however, does not helps him immune towards God's primordial and holy light, as it caused him great pain, uneasiness, and he mentioned that he is not comfortable to God's presence and light.
	+ **Transcendent Immortality**: Being one of the first True Archangels that predated the dawn and the shaping of creation, Lucifer is an immortal being and nearly impossible to be killed or erased from existence. He possesses near-complete immortality: as he don't age, can rapidly heal from wounds, will essentially live forever, and always appearing in his prime, young, and beautiful condition. However, there are exceptions to his immortality, with some factors or certain beings that are able to harm and ultimately kill him.
* **Unlimited intelligence**: Lucifer has proven himself to be one of the most intelligent being in the cosmos. Able to know and determine all things in existence, and having the knowledge that few beings are aware of. His intellect, wits, and wisdom also allows him to possess great leadership as it is one of factors that allowed him to convinced the 1/3 of the Angels to rebel against the Heaven and give the rulership of Hell under him by Satan and the other kings and princes of hell. He is also a highly charismatic leader, able to convince even the most complicated and rebellious beings to listen to his reason, that during his rally on Hell, he united the divided Abrahamic Netherworld, under one banner. Having been living for many billions of years, Lucifer possess great wisdom and wits on how to deal with things.
* **Master Magician & Sorcerer**: Lucifer possesses nearly immeasurable knowledge of magic spells on various classes and categories (commonly use by the Angels, Fallen Angels, & Demons). Magic spells that can be categorize as legendary, ancient, lost, advance, or even forbidden spells, that can create massive and devastating effects and destruction. Despite quiet inferior to Gabriel on few steps of skills, Lucifer has proven himself to be a very well-versed and dangerous magic master. He has great understanding and possess mastery over various kinds of spell, even those use by other pantheons. Being an fallen true archangel and a former prince of choir, he has an immeasurable skills when it comes to both divine and demonic magics, during the formation of the ruling system of the Stygian Council in Hell, he and Satan created a unique type of magic system that is exclusive only towards the demon nobles, kings, and even the emperor of hell (mainly Lucifer). According to Beelzebub and Astaroth, it is classified as highly complex magic formula, that Lucifer and Satan created by manipulating the origin of angelic magics, used by the angels.
	+ **Black Arts**: Being both an all-powerful Fallen True Archangel and an Archdemon emperor, Lucifer can utilize highly, deadly, and powerful Black Arts: a form of magic typically used for selfish, self-serving and/or nefarious purposes. His skills on dark arts tend to focus on destruction, harming, cursing and otherwise complicating the lives of other people while advancing he's state. Due to having complete understanding over darker and malevolent elements, Lucifer can cast forbidden spells, that are commonly considered lost by even Magic Deities.
	+ **Occultism Mastery**: Lucifer has great knowledge and utilize Occultism, the belief in or study of the action or influence of hidden wisdom and supernatural powers, allowing Lucifer to have foreknowledge about and behind the supernatural and how to perform them. Being the dub as the "Prince of Lies", Lucifer has greater understanding over supernatural things and can know and answer things that are normally hard to answer. The only known character that surpassed him in this field is John Constantine the Hellblazer, as it is in this field that he can outsmart Lucifer, Satan, and even his generals.
* **Powerful Master Combatant & Martial Artist**: Lucifer formerly served and considered as one of the best and powerful combatants of the Heavens, rivalled only by Michael although is believed and noted that he can narrowly surpassing him . His skills is such that no one in Hell bested him in combat (other than Satan), and no other demons dared to oppose him in battle. His combat skills are so great that during the War of Creation he managed to fully destroy several Outer Gods, and killed 20 angels all at the same time during the War in Heaven, without getting serious.
* **Master Deceiver & Manipulator**: Being called/nicknamed as the "Father of all lies", Lucifer possess worth centuries of skills to manipulates and deceives people to do his bidding and ends. Usually corrupting or deceiving their minds to cause them to sinned and fall from God's grace and love. He is considered more dangerous than any master manipulator on Earth, and led many people for countless centuries to astray in their lives, while remaining in the sidelines, while watching them fall in corruption and despair. So far the only persons that he failed to corrupt or fall are God's Prophets. Also despite his unpredictable wits and cunningness, however, it also considered as his greatest weakness, flawed by his pride, overconfidence, and arrogance, and so far he can be outsmart by anyone who can convince him to do their biddings and ends. So far Constantine is the only person that managed to outsmart and deceive him, at some point during their meeting. He is also not as cunning, clever, and tricky, as his brother Gabriel who is known as the trickster, that during his time in Heaven he has been fallen by Gabriel's tricks countless times (even prior to and after his fall).
* **Avatar Creation**: Lucifer is able to create avatars in any image. However, these avatars are lifeless, controlled only by Lucifer's consciousness.

It can summon a flying flock of cherub-like light relatives with red feathered wings and horns that can rain laser-piercing wings. (these cherubs are part of the power of lucifer they are not living beings).
* **Demonic Attacks**: Lucifer can fire dark energy beams and hellish fire-balls from his hands and can summon demonic versions of cherubs.

## History

### Origins

Lucifer was born on the first or second day of Creation, forged at the epicenter of the great explosion, the Big Bang, known as "let there be light". He was born beside the stars, and beside other angels, having seen close up the face of God and Barbelo, with the angels calling them father and mother.

Yesh, Barbelo and their trillions of children wandered through the shadow of space looking for a place to live, until the angels found one of the dimensions created by Yesh of the Great Expansion, and as the place was a small multiverse having seven parallel dimensions, they suggested that their parents live there, and Yesh and Barbelo agreed. God and Barbelo named that place Heaven.

After they began to inhabit heaven, God began to organize the troops of heaven to maintain order in the cosmos. God then organized the angels by hierarchies, that is, angelic castes, with Lucifer initially being placed as a Cherubim, but due to his great power, God promoted him to True Archangel, leaving him as patron of the Cherubim, with six other angels being patrons of other castes. God named each angel general with a specific name like: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Jophiel, Helel and Satanel.

### Creation of Man

During the time the universe was under construction, the Great Beast of Darkness had been imprisoned by God in the deepest and lowest dungeons in all of Hell, limited to minor manifestations of her anti-being. In one of her small in-universe manifestations, she met with her son Satanel, with whom she mentioned that she was imprisoned and needed a way to break free and the two of them together managed to defeat Yesh. Satan managed to allow a small fraction of Ayin's corrupt spirit to penetrate Paradise, going to the holy mountain where Lucifer was amid the flaming stones, sitting on his throne. When this spirit of Ayin approached the Morning Star, it quickly entered its body and began to play intrigues and doubts in the Dawn Star's mind.

When God created Adam and his wife Tinshemet in 4,004 B.C.E., the Lord called His angels, Aeons, and jinn to bow down to humans and love him more than they love him. God declared mankind to be His greatest creation. Lucifer, however, corrupted by jealousy and envy implanted in his heart by Ayin, refused to bow before humans, arguing that they were flawed and evil, while he and his brothers and sisters were beings of light, born of God's own Glory, and should not bow to "clay dolls". Angered, God sent Lucifer back to Paradise. As time passed, the son of the morning began to feel more jealous of the man, and this hurt his pride, as the "monkeys made of clay" were more loved by God than he was. This feeling however, came from the influence of the Great Evil Beast that was further corrupting the Morning Star.

Blinded by jealousy and pride, Lucifer began to corrupt his brothers and sisters and eventually trillions of angels were at his disposal, who alongside the Regent of Light did not agree with God giving more importance to Adam than his own family, the which unleashed a terrible war led by Lucifer and his armies, together with Satanel, against Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael and their armies. The battle ended with the Dawn Star being thrown from Paradise with a third of the angels on Earth. The angels then ceased to be God's angels of light and became the dark demons of Ayin, the Anti-God. With the family in Heaven devastated, in Hell, the Abyssal Goddess laughed, for her plan was gradually being fulfilled, her plan to end her brother's world, using Lucifer as her vessel.

### Fall from Grace

After falling from Heaven to Earth, Lucifer was finally severed from his connection with God, with his appearance changing from that of an angel, as with all other angels, to becoming physical personifications of what they hated, with Lucifer becoming a humanoid being with long ram horns and horse hooves with dragon wings on his back. With hatred, Lucifer asked his brothers and sisters to merge to create new warriors, because they were now going round two against God.

However, before Lucifer took flight towards Heaven again, a portal the size of solar systems opened before the Earth, being seen by everyone on planet Earth, leaving that portal an army of millions of angels, it was the army of God, who began to merge by invoking the Angel Merkabah who was a self-aware divine chariot that allowed God to walk the Earth.

God then possessed Merkabah, reaching the size of a luminous being made of iron, with the likeness of powerful armor, with thousands of wings protruding from his body. Lucifer transformed into his final form, becoming a gigantic dragon, leaving for the attack against God, who with a movement of his divine sword launched a powerful attack of light that seriously burned all the demons. Lucifer after receiving the attack fell to the ground along with all his brothers, remaining on the ground in his base form, with his hair burned and his skin severely damaged, with his wings burned and reduced to dust, filling his heart with hatred for having lost his beauty he was so proud of.

God gave the Morning Star one last chance to give up that rebellion, but Lucifer with his pride, said that it was better to reign in Hell than to be a slave of Heaven, with God responding saying that Lucifer will fall along with his pride, and will be sent straight to Hell. The Lord then shouted for the gates of Hell to open and several portals opened pulling the demons inside them, causing them to fall into Hell. After that day, Lucifer hated his father and humanity with all the strength he still had.

### Meeting Tarica

Once Lucifer sense a strange energy coming from the upper sectors of Hell and went towards it. There he saw a female figure being ambushed by thousands of demonic entities who saw her as a threat and seek to kill her. They stopped when they sense Lucifer's presence who then eradicated them for their attack, saving the female figure in the process. She introduced herself as the Arcutha Tarica who was able to leave her race's prison with the help of her leader and father Calur.

After hearing what she was, Lucifer showed interest yet paranoia due to being one of the only beings to know what an Arcutha, only then primordials and outer gods, and what threat she could propose so he decided to bring her to his castle with the set orders not to leave without his permission. At first Lucifer was condescending and ignored her presence, only watching her so she didn't escape, but her compassionate nature had affected Lucifer who was remained of his time as Helel while still God's favorite child.

That compassion was able to change Lucifer in some minor degree as he showed her at little respect until the fallen archangel-turned-demon lord had completely fallen in love with her, taking as a consort before becoming his third wife, behind Tinshemet and Barlebus. However, this did not go well with Barlebus who tried to destroy the growing relationship with them due to her believing that Tarica shouldn't be a consort of the Supreme Demon Emperor, ignorant of what she truly was. Satan however did and commanded to stop and let them be, which she reluctantly did, only after Satan promised that Lucifer would always love her the most.

Tarica seeing what she accidently doing to Barlebus decided to tell them everything about her as to have them trust her.

### Birth of Akiel

The major event in Lucifer's relationship with Tarica was the birth of their child, Akiel, who when Lucifer held in his own arms had fallen in love with his son. This even which would become one of his favorite moments in very existence. However, Satan didn't feel the same as he theorized would become one of the greatest beings in Creation due to being a mix of Arcutha, Archdemon, True Archangel and the essence of God himself and feared that this hybrid would herald the Apocalypse or even become the vessel the Anti-God itself.

When Satan told this to Lucifer, his joy immediately vanished and was replaced with paranoia and wishing to not take such as a risk had brought Tarica and his son Akiel somewhere away, right back to his bar Lux. There they would be hidden until his now teenage son met with God himself.

### Post-Apocalypse

After the Apocalypse ended, Lucifer was thrown back into his Cage to stay there for the rest of eternity. However, with the help of one of his former subordinates, that is, Leviathan, who deceived the guards of the Cage, managed to free Lucifer from his chain and the two managed to escape out of the Prime Universe, and the Alpha Multiverse, through a interdimensional portal. After weeks of wandering, Lucifer and Leviathan managed to reach another multiverse where they found a variant of the Prime Universe and consequently, a variant of Earth.

Lucifer is still being sought by the angels of God, considered a fugitive. Arriving in the new Earth, Lucifer attempted to hide himself from his omnipotent father alongside his companion Leviathan.

## Myths and Legends

Lucifer, also called the Morning Star, or Dawn Star, was how the prophet Isaiah referred to an unnamed king in the Old Testament. Originally, the name Lucifer had no connection with the New Testament Satan, but after John Milton's Paradise Lost and Dante's Divine Comedy, people began to associate the name Lucifer with the Devil, as if it were his real name, before falling from grace and becoming a fallen angel. It is noteworthy that another mysterious figure known as the King of Tire in the book of Ezekiel was equated with Satan.

Although it is not confirmed in the Bible that Lucifer and Satan are the same person, it is currently mostly accepted in the media that Satan's real name was or is Lucifer. The name was also used in several works and series that used the name Lucifer and the figure of the devil as the same entity. Some people theorize that Lucifer is not exactly a name but a title of great merit, which is why Jesus Christ is called the Morning Star (which is Latin for Lucifer) in the book of Apocalypse.

The name Lucifer originally referred to the planet Venus, called the Morning Star because it appeared before the light of the sun itself. This can be interpreted as the fact that Lucifer as an angel was the one who announced the arrival of the Almighty God, the Absolute Sun.
