**Lucifer**, also known as **The Devil**, **Light Bringer**, **The Morning Star**, and **Satan**, is an antagonist in the story. He was the second of the four Archangels created by God and was his favorite son. He is also a fallen archangel and the first fallen angel. He is the original ruler of Hell and the creator of demons, seen by them as a father figure and their god. As the second-born Archangel, he is one of the oldest and most powerful beings in The Universe, as well as one of the oldest and most powerful beings in all of existence.

## Appearance

Lucifer has the appearance of a young man, but in reality he is much older than that. His actual age is not known, but he is at least a couple billion years old.

## Personality

Lucifer was created by God billions of years ago, before even the Big Bang, he was raised by Michael and he taught Gabriel various tricks. Lucifer was once the most beautiful and beloved Archangel in all of existence. God loved Lucifer the most of all his angels. Because of his elevated status among the other angels, Lucifer was very proud. When humanity was created, due to Erebus corrupting him into jealousy, he was unwilling to accept that he was no longer God's favorite. When God commanded all those of Heaven to love his new creation more than himself, Lucifer refused. Lucifer pleaded: "Father, I can't. These human beings are flawed. Murderous!" Lucifer continued his disobedience, asking Michael to stand by his side in his rebellion against God's orders. Michael refused Lucifer's request, and under God's command, Michael cast Lucifer into Hell.

Naturally, being cast out of Heaven enraged Lucifer, and he struck back by tempting and twisting the soul of a human woman, Lilith. After completely stripping her of her humanity, her soul was transformed into the very first demon, specifically a True Demon. Around the same time, he also passed on Lucifer's Markings onto Cain, turning him into the second True Demon, who went on the create elite warrior demons nearly impossible to kill. He then went on to turn the scribe of God, Deyanira, into a demon via corruption. Because of these unforgivable blasphemies against God, Lucifer was further punished by being placed into additional solitary imprisonment within Keres' heart. He remained there in isolation for over a millennium. Lucifer's long term goal was to eventually be freed from the heart, eradicate humanity, and restore Earth to its original "untainted" glory. It is suggested that Lucifer only uses demons as servants and would eradicate all of them as well, because, despite them being his creations, he considers demons to be even less worthy than humans. Proof of this is shown when he casually kills dozens of them. However, he holds his greatest contempt for the Gods of Ascim, believing them to be petty, disloyal, and the lowest of all beings because they claim to be gods.

Lucifer claims that he never lies or even tricks, because he does not have to, as he has said, "I will never lie to you. I will never trick you." He promised his vessel, Keres, that he would be honest with her. He also said that he sympathizes with his vessel, who is a victim like himself. He went to some lengths to get Keres' acceptance. Despite this, Lucifer is largely manipulative and has been proven to mislead on occasion, suggesting that this was more of a ploy to gain trust, rather than an actual commitment, and he would bend this rule when it's to his advantage. Furthermore, Lucifer tries to gain sympathy from his opponents by claiming that he is truly a victim and was justified in his actions.

Lucifer shows concern for his fellow angels, though it is the archangels he loves most. Lucifer was remorseful when he thought he had killed Deyanira and was disappointed when Michael berated him.

Gabriel criticized Lucifer, describing his actions as "one great big temper tantrum." Grim and Deyanira both made similar observations, as they have both called him a bratty and petulant child with daddy issues. Lucifer is also arrogant and extremely vengeful, taking his betrayal and hatred out on the entire world without any remorse. Nonetheless, Lucifer sees himself as a tragic figure who was punished for being right. He refuses to accept any blame for his actions and suggests that God intentionally made Lucifer the way he is, asserting that "God wanted the Devil."

Lucifer is also highly cruel and barbaric to those who get in his way, and despite his claims of being the victim, he has no qualms about killing anyone who angers him, even if he has no true reason for killing them.

Lucifer has a sense of humor equivalent to Gabriel and Deyanira, rare in many angels. He can be sarcastic and casually indifferent, usually a testament to his arrogance.

While Lucifer is angry with God for imprisoning him, he feels that it's a family issue and that dealing with Erebus is more important to the point that he is willing to put aside his differences with his father and everyone else to fight him after what Erebus put him through. After seeing God for the first time in eons, Lucifer initially seemed uncertain on how to react, but soon began to act somewhat like a petulant child, demanding an apology and locking himself in Keres' room when he didn't get one. However, after God actually apologized and explained his behavior, Lucifer forgave him and the two reconciled their differences.

In the aftermath of supposedly 'killing' Erebus, Lucifer seems solely interested in maintaining power in Hell, refusing to let anyone stand in his way. He displays cruelty towards everyone who slightly upsets him. However, he makes an exception with Rewin, whose powers he is dependent upon until she manages to become useless and he didn't save her when she got killed by Erebus.

In a more vulnerable moment, Lucifer admitted that he always wanted to fit in and please a father that he could never please.

When Lucifer attempts to reconnect with, or at least talk to Gabriel, and start arguing about the past, Gabriel calls Lucifer a "cancer" God had to cut out, he was visibly hurt and shed a tear.

Lucifer is openly bisexual and sexually promiscuous, he has had lots of sex with both men and women. He has had sex with billions of men and women over all of the years he has been on earth since the beginning of time, he is obsessed with sex, as almost all human women and men find him carnally irresistible, sexy, and sexually attractive, which he sometimes uses to his advantage when he strikes deals with them. As something of a shock, Lucifer can sleep with over 92 people within two weeks (which leave a normal person either heavily exhausted or dead); Lucifer himself notes he has "tremendous stamina", even stating he can have sex with one person twice in a row without resting. Lucifer even states whoever he sleeps with is thoroughly exhausted to the point they sleep well through the night; he is also creative with sexual techniques. And he is also very open about who he finds attractive, shown when he flirts with Erebus and is open about wanting to have sex with him. He is also openly interested in Michael, and seemed to be somewhat interested in Rewin and Keres, with a slight, but ambiguous, interest in Deyanira. However, Lucifer himself claims that he truly only belongs to Michael.

One of the few things that can truly annoy him is when people blame him when something goes wrong or when they say he made them do it. He also dislikes Satanists (as "the whole worship thing is more my father's bag") and is associated with goats. Another is being accused of lying: while Lucifer is one of the greatest manipulators in the Universe, he never **ever** lies. (Gaia confirms this, and Deyanira seems to take it as a given.) Although he will use hyperbole when he is joking or teasing, if he says something in earnest, it is the truth. He is quite proud of this and it offends him when others don't believe him.

## Powers and Abilities

**Superhuman Strength:** Lucifer, like all angels, is incredibly strong, capable of exerting immense amounts of superhuman physical force and has vast levels of superhuman strength when he so desires, the full extent of which remains unknown but said to be among the strongest of God's angels. He is able to effortlessly overpower humans, notably able to send a large man flying back over 30 feet through a glass wall with a one-handed light mere push, easily bending metal bars and punching through brick walls, sending a large man flying back over 60 feet with a mere push, and to lift other men high off of the ground by the throat without any issue.

**Superhuman Speed**: Like all angels, Lucifer is extraordinarily fast, he is much faster than humans, demons, animals, and other beings. He can appear and disappear with a blink of an eye, and when using his wings he can fly as fast or faster than the speed of light, he can appear and disappear, in a similar manner akin to teleportation. It is unknown how fast he is while running, but he has shown to be able to move superhumanly fast.

**Superhuman Endurance**: Lucifer is shown to be barely affected by injuries that would have been extremely painful to a normal human, including stabs and burns.

**Superhuman Reflexes**: Lucifer, like all angels, possesses extraordinary superhuman reflexes. He is able to effortlessly catch knives thrown at him at vast superhuman speeds at very close range and easily block, dodge, or deflect incoming damage from experienced human fighters, demons, and angels.

**Immortality**: Lucifer, like all angels, is immortal, billions of years old, immune to age, disease and toxins, having lived since the beginning of creation. He has eternal youthful beauty and will live for all eternity without ever aging. He also cannot die of any natural cause. On one occasion, Deyanira clearly says about killing Lucifer, "It's foolish, it can't be done", and later calls the task "insane".

**Precognition**: Lucifer could see and accurately predict the future, but he could not see the whole picture.

**Soul Channeling/Soul Absorption**: Lucifer possesses the knowledge to draw power from a human's soul to boost his own powers.

**Conversion**: Lucifer created the race of demons by twisting human souls. Because of this he could manipulate their nature to his whim.

**Shape-shifting**: Lucifer is able to change his appearance into a form he refers to as his "Devil Form".

**Holy White Light**: His light was enough to stagger Deyanira when she consumed it and would've killed her. It was also enough to severely weaken Erebus.

**Smiting**: Like all angels, Lucifer possessed the power to smite lower beings, but as an Archangel, his smiting is far more potent.

**Master Manipulator**: One of Lucifer's most well-known traits is using his knowledge of people to make them do things in his best interests. He has a keen ability to understand the mental and emotional weaknesses, desires, and needs of his victims and determine how best to use them to his advantage. Using his reputation of not lying, Lucifer tricks people by not saying what he will do. This makes Lucifer extremely unpredictable, even to Erebus, who knows him very well.

**Master Torturer**: Lucifer is one of the foremost experts in torture, both physical and spiritual. He tortured Lilith's spirit to the point where he turned her into the original demon and from there, did the same to several other humans to create his demon armies. His torture methods were so extreme and profound that the memories of it would haunt his victims years after the fact and in some cases, caused extreme hallucinations, mental shock and could have potentially killed them.

**Skilled Impersonator of Michael**: Lucifer has demonstrated the ability of impersonating his older brother Michael in a convincing manner, so much so that he was able to fool Erebus with the façade, albeit for a short time. Like his brother did with him, Lucifer was able to mimic Michael's mannerisms, accent, as well as attitude.

## Relationship

### Family:

#### Demons

Lucifer is the father and creator of the demon race, and is regarded highly by all but a few. In retaliation for God's banishment of him from Heaven and God's love for mankind, Lucifer corrupted Lilith, one of the first humans, and turned her into the very first demon. He also condemned Cain's soul to Hell, leading him to become one of the most powerful demons in existence. He also corrupted the angel Deyanira, turning her into a demon. Since these were acts merely meant to upset God, Lucifer held no affections for his creations. He used them whenever he needed their assistance. An example of his disregard for the demons was the heartless murder of a handful of demons. Despite this, many demons continue to obey and try to serve him, even at the cost of their own lives. One demon in particular was willing to let Lucifer devour him if he wanted, saying his life was for Lucifer's own use. Lucifer was left uncomfortable and disgusted with this comment and showed no compunctions towards obliterating both demons despite them setting him free.

#### Michael

Michael is Lucifer's older brother and the only angel more powerful than him. Michael once said he raised Lucifer in a way "nobody can understand". The two formed an exceptionally strong bond, and with their other siblings the two lived happily in Heaven. However, their relationship turned sour when Lucifer sought to defy God's wishes to bow down to mankind. Michael chose to side with God, and began calling Lucifer a monster. This act of betrayal would upset Lucifer for many years to come. Michael even went as far as to craft a weapon specifically for harming Lucifer, showing just how much Michael came to despise his younger brother, though when did he actually make this lance is uncertain, and his discussion with Erebus implies that he still held affections for his brother, but he saw God's will as more important. Recently, Lucifer and Michael have finally come to realize their strong romantic feelings for each other.

#### Gabriel

Lucifer was Gabriel's older brother and was said to have taught him various tricks, such as the ability to cast lifelike illusions. The two likely had a happy time in Heaven alongside their brethren, however, Lucifer's decision to rebel against God caused a fight that drove Gabriel away. Gabriel admitted to loving his brother, but he could not stand what had become of him, urging him to grow up for once. Lucifer was dismissive of his words, but showed signs of not wanting to fight Gabriel at all.

#### Erebus

Erebus is Lucifer's younger half-brother, whom he hates with a passion. Despite this, Lucifer is shown to be attracted to Erebus and openly reveals his wishes to sleep with him, but Erebus constantly rejects Lucifer's advances.

#### Keres Almyra

Keres is Lucifer's great-niece. Lucifer is curious as to how she can resist his charms and why he is vulnerable in her presence.

## Trivia

* Lucifer is the only archangel whose name doesn't end with "el" but ends with "er." This is because Lucifer is the Latin calque of the Hebrew Helel ben Shahar, which roughly translates as "Morning Star, the Son of Dawn", a name which only appears once in the Hebrew Bible.
* Lucifer's mischievous behavior does not differ too much from Gabriel's; as siblings, they're said to have spent much time together, in Heaven, and Lucifer taught Gabriel how to do advanced reality-warping tricks. Their long-term convenience may have influenced Gabriel to act more like his older brethren, too.
* The creator believes Lucifer has developed a snarky sense of humor as a means to hide his own pain, and that his current greatest fear is having his brother, Michael, prefer Erebus to him.
* The Devil is known by many names throughout different faiths: Lucifer (Latin for " 'The Morning Star' or 'light bringer'"), The Devil, The Serpent, Iblis, (in Islam) and Satan (Hebrew for "Adversary").
	+ In different versions of the Bible, they said Satan is formerly known as Samael and was the former commander-in-chief of the angels army before his fall from Heaven. Some versions said he was the older brother of Michael.
	+ Although "Lucifer" is considered to be the name of The Devil, this is never explicitly stated in the Bible and is merely the result of various translations. "Lucifer" appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, in Isaiah 14:12. Here, a prophecy about the fall of a corrupt Babylon king is described. Those who believe the fall of the king refers to the Devil's fall from grace began the traditional belief that Lucifer is most certainly Satan and the Devil.

* According to Michael, Lucifer's wings are "hot pink and sparkly".
* Lucifer has many similarities to his brother, Erebus. Ironically, despite these similarities, Erebus viewed Lucifer as a 'bratty child'.
	+ They both held anger towards God, although Erebus reconciled with him, while Lucifer did not.
	+ They were sent away under God's orders, and by a sibling.
	+ Both are Primordial Beings.
	+ Both are described to contain "darkness" in some way, with Lucifer's powers being noted as "dark and toxic".
	+ They have both corrupted another entity, with Erebus corrupting Lucifer himself, and Lucifer corrupting Lilith and forming the demons.
	+ Both were attacked with a powerful weapon that failed to kill them.
* Lucifer invented the idea of giving out favors.
* Lucifer does not use underwear unless it is a day he did not have sex or plans to.
