Chapter Unknown: Partners 'Til the End

**Cory Johnathan Decker** is the deuteragonist in the book series *Lucifer: A Different Story*. Oringinally an actor, he became a homicide detective detective working in Los Angeles as a member of the L.A.P.D. after his father was murdered. While there, he started a relationship with fellow officer Dani Espinoza and had a daughter, Trixie Espinoza. During an investigation into a fellow cop, Malcolm Graham, Cory became the pariah of the department after Malcolm was shot at Palmetto Street, and he still continued his investigation. His and Dani's marriage also started fall apart because of it and the two eventually separated.

While investigating a murder at the Lux nightclub, Cory encounters Lucifer Morningstar, who insists she is the actual Devil, but the Detective refused to believe it. Despite his protests, he's assisted by Lucifer on the case and the two end up forming a professional relationship as a detective-consultant duo.

After learning that the Celestial world existed, Cory took Trixie and ran away to Rome, where he researched Lucifer to see if she was the actual embodiment of evil. While there, she was manipulated by Father William Kinley into betraying Lucifer to send her back to Hell. Though Cory ultimately didn't go through with it, Lucifer found out, and the two were unable to reconcile, as Cory was unsure if he could accept Lucifer's true self. However, Cory found he couldn't be without Lucifer and tried to patch things up, only to be stopped by the arrival of Eve, who resumed her former relationship with her. The two were eventually able to make amends and became partners again, but Cory became worried that Eve was a bad influence on her. After helping Lucifer take the first steps to forgive herself, Cory helped him stop Demons from invading L.A. before tearfully saying goodbye to Lucifer and admitting his love to her, who decided to return to Hell to keep them in line.

Cory spent the next two months drowning his sorrows in different ways before Lucifer returned. Though happy, Cory sensed something was off, discovering he was actually Lucifer's twin Michaela. After outing him, he learned God had a hand in his birth to cross paths with Lucifer as her gift, causing another rift when Lucifer actually returned. With Amenadiel's help, she worked through his issues and the two finally became a couple. Their new relationship suffered more hiccups and Cory was forced to face his fears regarding Lucifer's true feelings for him after Michaela got inside his head when he kidnapped him. When Lucifer disappeared whilst in the process of expressing her feelings, Cory decided to give her space to work out her issues with her Father after He showed up. The two were able to rekindle their relationship, and Cory decided to retire from the LAPD to become Lucifer's consultant when she succeeds God after He retires. After Michaela manipulated Dani's death, Cory aided Lucifer in her war for Godhood. He was killed by Michaela and went to Heaven, reuniting with his father, before Lucifer resurrected him and confessed her love. The two then defeated Michaela and Cory watched in awe as Lucifer became the new God.
