Example

**Lucifer**, is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *WGL's* *Creed of History* series created by Sam Register and Bob Haney. He was the inmate and ruler of Hades' domain.

Once God's most glorious angel, Lucifer was banished from Paradise as punishment for leading a rebellion against Him. Now a twisted and demonic being, he plotted his return to *"His rightful place in Paradise".* He was trapped waist-deep in ice in the frozen Lake Cocytus within the circle of Treachery. Despite this, The Prince of Darkness could project himself in a smoky form on Earth and throughout the nine circles.

"*I will reclaim my rightful place in Paradise. My path will be paved with the sins of Man and yours, Dante, shall be the bedrock of my return. And all of that is good shall be gone from the Universe forever!*"

—Lucifer to Dante.

### Appearance

In his true form, Lucifer was a muscular, supernaturally tall and humanoid demon with dark grey skin and several glowing scars around his body. He had glowing red/orange/yellow eyes, two large horns on his head and small spikes on his shoulders and chest. He wore a brass-colored armlet on his right arm in the shape of a serpent and his legs appeared goat-like, akin in the form to a satyr. His angelic wings are torn off with only smoking stumps left, although, he still seemed able to fly.

He is massively endowed, yet this part of his anatomy remained flaccid in all appearances (Likely an allegory of the seductive, but ultimately sterile nature of evil and to the sin of Lust). The thin lava-like lines or scars, resembling streaks of tears flowed down Lucifer's face.

Lucifer's enormous and false body closely followed the description used in the original Divine Comedy: A giant demonic being that was frozen mid-breast in ice at the center of Hell. He had three faces and a pair of bat-like wings affixed under each chin. A glowing sigil was found on the forehead of the central face. As Lucifer beated his wings, he created a cold wind which continued to freeze the ice surrounding him and the other sinners in the Ninth Circle. The winds that he created are felt throughout the other circles of Hell.

## Personality

As the embodiment and creator of evil, Lucifer had all of the characteristic descriptions that would fit the common criteria which evil was depicted. Of his evil depictions, the most notable which Lucifer exhibited, he portrayed himself as intelligent, forceful, bossy, dictatorial, manipulative, deceptive, traitorous and cunning, able to convince his followers to do his bidding with various Faustian bargains. Often, he forced his foes to endure harsh trials before they could encounter him.

He was exceptionally proud, arrogant, overconfident, conceited, sadistic, monstrous, calculating and gleefully punished the Damned as it was he who devised and controlled all of the tortures of Hell. He was very hedonistic and indulged in all of the vices and pleasures from within his kingdom. He also seemed to enjoy eating the organs and brains of his enemies.

Although making claims stating that he was an angel of justice and righteousness, Lucifer's views are ridiculously skewed, having a sense of pride that overwhelmed any sort of ability to act with kindness, goodness or reason toward any individuals besides himself and his allies. He saw himself as a tragic fallen hero, but in reality, his pride existed from the beginning, deciding that he would rather reserve his praise for himself than humanity, going out of his way to explicitly disobey God, thereby severing his connection to Him and Paradise.

## Abilities and Powers

As an immortal creation of God Himself, Lucifer is a god-like celestial being of immense supernatural power. After his fall from Paradise and becoming the ruler of Hell, he gained incredible demonic abilities. Lucifer is the most powerful being in all of Hell. His only rival is Archangel Michael and the only one more powerful than either is God.

### Powers

* **Immortality**: Lucifer is immortal and existed before mankind and even the universe itself. He is not subject to aging or any degradation through the passing of time.
* **Invulnerability**: Being an immortal Archangel, Lucifer could not be killed, destroyed or die by any means and was the only being who could not perish in the Inferno. While Dante was able to kill the other Fallen Angels, he could only re-imprison Lucifer. However, since Lucifer was created by God, he can still be destroyed by Him and potentially by his brother, Michael. Death's Scythe was shown to be able to hinder Lucifer, but not kill him. Dante had to find other means to defeat Lucifer. In the anime, Lucifer's defeat is very different from how he was defeated in the game. Dante was helpless against Lucifer once he was freed and resorted to prayer in the hopes of God subduing Lucifer before he escaped into Purgatory. Dante's prayer was heard and Lucifer was encased in ice by God.
* **Superhuman Strength**: Lucifer is unfathomably physically strong. The Chains of Judecca that bound his first form (a much weaker form than his true form) had to be anchored throughout the nine circles of Hell to keep his arms from moving. In the final battle, in his true form, Lucifer could also create massive tremors via punching the ground, causing great shockwaves.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Lucifer is swift. His reflexes are far beyond those of normal humans and even lesser angels. He is able to move so quickly that he can easily catch Dante off guard.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Lucifer is highly resistant to injury. Though holy magic can affect him, it seems that it's effects are more of a hindrance rather than outright harm.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: Lucifer is not subject to fatigue and can exert himself at full capacity indefinitely.
* **Healing Factor**: Lucifer is not subject to disease. He instantly recovered from being stabbed in the chest by Death's Scythe, and he withstood the effects of Dante's cross attacks and the souls that were set upon him without any lasting effects.
* **Nigh-Omniscience**: Lucifer possesses a vast intellect, due to being older than Creation and knowing many, if not most of it's greatest secrets. He gave damned souls the ability to foresee future events, but to be cursed to never know the present, which implies that he may also be able to see the future. This was further implied in the animated movie as he was able to show Beatrice many events in history that were beyond her lifetime, from the Crusades to World War II.
* **Flight**: Lucifer can fly and hover even without his wings.
* **Magic**: Lucifer has a great knowledge of black sorcery which he can fire powerful unholy projectile attacks, channel his energies into the ground, absorb and redirect enemy magic attacks and create a personal force field to protect himself from holy magic. He can open portals to the other worlds like Purgatory. He can even destroy immortal weapons like Death's Scythe. He granted magical powers to the unholy priests of Hell and can also provide it for Satanic rituals on Earth.
	+ **Pyrokinesis**: Lucifer can create and control hellish fire.
	+ **Aerokinesis**: Lucifer can summon powerful hellish winds and tornadoes.
	+ **Cyrokinesis**: Lucifer can create and manipulate hellish ice and cold to his will.
	+ **Necromancy**: Lucifer has shown some control over the undead. In the animated movie, he was able to summon an army of zombies to devour Dante's horse.
	+ **Astral Projection**: Lucifer can travel through Hell and Earth via a shadowy version of himself. This shadow self is tangible and attacks with magic as it ignited an entire forest by uttering a Satanic Latin spell. The shadow possesses superhuman strength as it lifted Dante off the ground with one hand. In the animated film, it also appeared to be able to shapeshift and change it's size.
	+ **Shapeshifting**: Lucifer can take the form of a snake. In the anime, he could disguise himself as Dante, various Pagans murdered during the Crusades, and even as God Himself.
	+ **Teleportation**: Lucifer can appear and disappear at will. He possesses some degree of omnipresence.
* **Angel of God**: Lucifer is arguably the most powerful angel created by God and is only matched equally in terms of power by his brother Michael. Even the other Fallen Angels in Hell do not pose a challenge to him. All angels possessed free will which is why Lucifer could choose to rebel against God.
* **Dominion over Hell**: All demons and beings of Hell (with the exception of the other Fallen Angels who had free will) must obey Lucifer's will. All of the tortures in Hell are devised by Lucifer. He can damn the souls to Hell even if they are free of sin and Heaven-bound should they make a wager with him and lose. The animated film and comics implied that he could choose to give the damned souls at least a thousand years free of torture but could not set any souls free as only God has the power to do so. Despite all of this, God is the one who created everything. Therefore, Lucifer is still a prisoner of Hell just like every other soul that was damned in the Inferno. Lucifer is seen to be able to exert some control over the fabric of Hell itself such as altering the Hall of Gluttons into a puzzle-like obstacle course while displaying taunting images of Beatrice's death in the fog to torment and mock Dante.
* **Minions**: Lucifer has an endless number of minions, worshipers and followers. One-third of the angels of Heaven pledged their allegiance to him. The dwellers, night-fiends and demons of Hell all serve his every whim. He also has many followers on Earth who gather in his churches. Among these are the Satanists who established cults in tribute to him.
* **Telekinesis**: Lucifer displays some degree of telekinesis, pulling Beatrice towards him against her will, embracing her as he does so in order to “admire her”.
* **Telepathy**: Lucifer also possesses some telepathic capabilities as he was able to mentally communicate with Dante, taunting him as he descended deeper into Hell, all while still being imprisoned within the heart of Cocytus.

### Weapons

* **Sword of Lucifer**: He possesses a large, powerful sword that he can channel his energies into. It was most likely the very sword he wielded during the War in Heaven. He can summon this sword at will and it sometimes appears on fire.

## History

### Past

#### Early years

Lucifer was the Angel of Light, "The Bearer of light", "The Bringer of Dawn" and a divine servant of God, associated with the Morning Star. He was related to all of the other angels, but especially his fellow archangels, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel.

God created the Heavens and Earth, along with Lucifer, created as a powerful archangel and a being of perfection. Because of his supreme nature, Lucifer came to believe he was inferior to no other being. When God created the first humans, He informed His angels that they were to use their powers to serve humanity, but Lucifer refused to bow down. In his arrogance, he proclaimed to God that, as a perfect being, he owed no devotion to such flawed creatures.

In defiance of God, Lucifer gathered an army of angels loyal to him and waged war against Heaven. Despite Lucifer's great power, he was ultimately defeated by the archangel Michael. In punishment for his defiance, Lucifer was cast into Hades' Inferno, along with all the angels who had allied themselves with him. Stripped of his rank and denounced as an angel, he came to be the ruler of all demons.
