Lucifer

"You know why God cast me down? Because I loved Him. More than anything. And then, God created...you. The little...hairless apes. And then He asked all of us to bow down before you—to love you more than Him. And I said, "*Father, I can't.*" I said, "*These human beings are flawed, murderous.*" And for that, God had Michael cast me into Hell. Now, tell me, does the punishment fit the crime? Especially, when I was right? Look at what six billion of you have done to this thing. And how many of you blame me for it? You see, ever since you first crawled out from the primordial soup and flopped onto the beach, I thought I was the one holding you back. Distracting you with shiny stuff and gunpowder. And then I was put on the reserves' bench, shall we say? And I thought, "*Oh, well, that's that. Without me whispering in their ears, they'll build utopia!*" Well, dearie me, I got that wrong. God made you so He could retire. Did you know that? You were meant to be the pinnacle of evolution, a creature so sophisticated and powerful you wouldn't need Him. And He could go back to His gardening and His word-search puzzles. But what do you humans do? You elect leaders that despise you and rob you of your freedom and dignity. You pollute and devour your own Eden. You know beauty to be false, but you prostrate yourselves before it. You think to be a philistine is honest. To be educated is cunning. You find the lowest common denominator and then you dig deeper. I was supposed to be the lesson, I was the warning. I was the villain. And you all became my tribute act. There is nothing I can do. Nothing in all the palaces of the imagination worse than what you humans do to each other. You dragged the world to the brink of the abyss. Well done. And now...I'm just going to give it that final nudge. I will reclaim my rightful place in Paradise. My path will be paved with the sins of Man, and the sins of the blackest souls shall be the bedrock of my return. And all that is good shall be gone from the universe forever!"
—Lucifer, speaking to Sidney about humanity, his plans, and why he fell from Heaven

**Lucifer**, also known as **The Devil**, **Son of the Morning**, **The Morning Star**, and **Satan**, is one of the seven Archangels created by God, however, he is a powerful fallen rebel archangel who is also the chief fallen angel in Christian theology, making him the first fallen angel, who is in a proxy war with God for the souls of allmankind and has taken the role of Satan, making him the Ruler ofHell, ruling and reigning over Hell, and the creator of demons, seen by them as a father figure and their God. He is a creation of God who rebelled against God and coveted the Throne of God and was cast out of Heaven for leading a revolt of angels against God. He was imprisoned in Hell for corrupting humankind and creating the first demons. He has taken the role of Satan - though beings such as Lucifer can never truly be redeemed. As the second-born archangel, he is the younger brother of Michael and the older brother of Ariel, Uriel, Sariel, Raphael, and Gabriel.

According to Gabriel, Lucifer was God's favorite celestial and was also once God's most beloved, most glorious, and most beautiful Archangel. He was God's second in command, crown cherubim, chief archangel, and left-hand. Lucifer is believed to be the most beautiful of all of God's creations. He was once counted among the greatest of archangels and was commander of one-third of Heaven's angels, but when God created man asked for all angels to bow down to and serve humanity, to love them more than he, Lucifer refused both out of jealousy of God's love and wounded pride over being commanded to bow to what he saw as a flawed and murderous species. Though Lucifer was appointed to look after the earth and mankind, in his pride and jealousy, Lucifer refused to serve a lesser being and challenged God's authority. Powerful but proud, Lucifer and his army of dissident angels against God and he waged a war against God but he and his legion were defeated and banished to Hell by Michael, casting Lucifer out of Heaven and into a dark abyss which came to be known among humans as Hell or Perdition, a place where the souls of depraved or spiritually unfaithful people would fall into after death to suffer eternal torment and isolation from God, and were Lucifer became known as The Devil or Satan, and his angels became known as demons. Lucifer was first cast down to Earth, not Hell, as a result of his actions. Lucifer took with him to the Earth roughly or exactly one-third of the Angels that God had created, because they followed Lucifer and his idea. Lucifer was banished from Paradise and into the depths of Hell for his crime by Michael as punishment for leading a rebellion against Him. Now a twisted and demonic being, he plots his return to "his rightful place in Paradise". He is trapped waist-deep in ice in the frozen Lake Cocytus, within the circle of Treachery. Despite this, the Prince of Darkness can project himself in a smoky form on Earth and throughout the nine circles. All ofAzazel's and Dracula's actions were motivated with the goal of eventually releasing Lucifer from his cage in Hell.

In Latin, from which the English word is derived, Lucifer means "light-bearer" or "morning star". It was the name given to the dawn appearance of the planet Venus, which heralds daylight. For this meaning, English generally uses the names "Morning Star", "Son of the Morning", or "Day Star", but rarely "Lucifer". The Bible does not name the Devil as Lucifer. The use of this name in reference to the Devil stems from an interpretation of Isaiah, a passage that does not speak of any fallen angel but of the defeat of a particular Babylonian King, to whom it gives a title that refers to what in English is called the Day Star or Morning Star (in Latin, Lucifer). In the same Latin word Lucifer is used to refer to the Morning Star, with no relation to the Devil. It is only in post-New Testament times that the Latin word Lucifer was used as a name for the Devil, both in religious writing and in fiction, especially when referring to him prior to his fall from Heaven. In religions that promote Lucifer, it is taught that he was cast down to the earth for simply asking about the Throne of God, which is not true. Lucifer goes by many names including Satan and the Devil among popular ones, but many names, even of pagan gods are engineered to be worship toward him. Lucifer is the god of the Freemasons, a fact that is not openly disclosed until you become a 33rd Degree Freemason and you have chosen to desecrate an object of your religious order (Freemasons must have a religion, they cannot be atheist. This is to show that they will defect from their religion in favor of knowingly worshiping Lucifer, the ultimate blasphemy to God).

Since he is an angel, like all other Angels, Lucifer must have the permission of any human he wishes to use as his vessel, as he cannot forcefully possess a person. Being an archangel, Lucifer possesses much more power than any normal angel and also every demon and species of monsters, most of whom deify him.

Eventually, he was finally freed and allowed to roam the Earth when the final seal (the death of Lilith) was broken. Freed from his cage, he took action to bring about the Apocalypse and cleanse the Earth (aka "The last perfect handiwork of God") of human beings (the flawed creation). Even after Lucifer was able to possess his true vessel and fight Michael (nearly killing his older brother), Oracle was able to defeat Lucifer and seal him back in Lucifer's Cage.

As an apparent side-effect of Sidney opening Lucifer's Cage, Sidney apparently begun seeing hallucinations of Lucifer in her mind. These hallucinations tried to drive Sidney into suicide by taunting her in various ways and almost succeeded until Oracle reveiled that it wasn't hallucinations, but was Lucifer's shadow-self. Oracle destroyed the shadow as a result.

Religiously, Lucifer is believed among most humans to be the supreme spirit of evil, often represented in Jewish and Christian belief as the tempter of humankind, the leader of all apostate angels, and the ruler of Hell and its demons.

Lucifer is arguably the primary antagonist of the entire series, having served as the ultimate cause of evil in the show.

## Biography

### **Early History**

#### **Origins**

Eons ago, long before the start of the series, this being was an archangel known as Lucifer (in Latin: Luciferus; in Hebrew: Heylel ; Shaitan or Iblis ; in Arabic), who was the Angel of Light, "The Morning Star", and a divine servant of God and lived in Heaven with his Angelic Brethren and Angelic Sistren. He is related to all other angels, but especially his fellow archangels - Michael, Ariel, Uriel, Sariel, Raphael, and Gabriel.

Lucifer used to be an Archangel in Heaven, favored by God. He was an archangel beloved both by God and his fellow angels. Lucifer was the second archangel that God created, created after his older brother Michael, as a being similar to Him, and was raised by Michael in Heaven. He was created as a high authority in Heaven to give the light of God's presence to the lesser angels. Lucifer was at one time once the favored of God's angles, and among God's most powerful servants and most favored angels, and his name translates to "The Light Bearer" or "The Morning Star, the brightest in the sky" as he called himself, and lived in Heaven, having no superior other than the Lord God Himself, Oracle, and Michael. All other members of the Heavenly Hosts were subject to his will, including the other Archangels. He was reputedly also among the oldest and most beautiful angels in all of Paradise. It was stated that he once had a strong relationship with God and was fiercely loyal and devoted to Him. He was loyal, kind, intelligent, beautiful, wise, and charismatic.

#### **Turok-Han War**

Before life existed on the Earth, Lucifer was also among those angels that fought in the war with the other angels and archangels against the Turok-Hans.

#### **Disobedience**

But however, at some point, Lucifer's great beauty, glory, and power fostered arrogance, leading him to sow a belief that he was a being of perfection and he became selfish, prideful, arrogant, and wicked; hungry for power and control. When God created Mankind in His own image, called them His greatest creation, and commanded that His angels honor humans by bowing to them in respect and loving them even more than God Himself, Lucifer was commissioned to have power over Earth and watch over Mankind. When told that he was to serve man, Lucifer refused to do so and bow down to them, deeming humans to be imperfect and murderous beings, and rebelled. Being full of pride and jealous of God's love, Lucifer refused to bow to a creature that he considered lesser than himself and God, which he loved too much to being able to devote himself for the, as he says, imperfect humans and he became enraged when God's favorite creation became man. Corrupted and consumed by his pride, he deluded himself into thinking that God was incompetent and he was the rightful ruler of the universe.

#### **Rebellion**

As a result, Lucifer rebelled and created, grouped, and gathered up an army of other rebellious angels together before causing a Civil War in Heaven and attempted to storm and take control of Heaven and battle God and the armies of Heaven. In turn, God sent Michael - the only angel skilled and powerful enough to match Lucifer in combat - to meet the rebels in battle. Deciding to wage a war against God, Lucifer approached his older brother, the archangel Michael, hoping his elder sibling would stand by his side during the rebellion. Michael rejected him at his father's orders and a war begun in Heaven. Lucifer and his fellow insurgents fought against the forces of loyal angels led by the Archangel Michael, but however, he and his forces were ultimately defeated by Archangel Michael (general of heaven's army) and lost God's favor. This was known as the "War In Heaven". Despite Lucifer's best efforts, Michael emerged victorious, tearing away Lucifer's wings before casting him and his minions out of the Kingdom of Heaven as punishment. His name was stripped from him, and he earned the title "Ha-Satan" (the Adversary).

#### **Defeat and Banishment**

After Lucifer lost the war, as punishment, he and his minions were God, seeing that Lucifer was corrupted by his thirst for power, banished him and some of his followers from Heaven and they fell to Earth. By God's authority, they were banned from returning to Heaven forever. He and the cast down followers are called Fallen Angels.

#### **Imprisonment**

For a time, the fallen angels, including Lucifer, inhabited Earth. Once on Earth, as his rage against humans grew, Lucifer tried to convince both God and his eldest brother Michael of Mankind's unworthiness but neither of them listened to him. He saw that both of them were taken by mankind. This caused Lucifer to eventually tempt them with sin and made Lilith a Demon to show how flawed they were. Therefore Lucifer, eventually approached the Garden of Eden and convinced Gadreel, God's most trusted angel, to let him into the garden. It's unknown how Lucifer convinced him but it is implied that Gadreel was unaware of Lucifer's true intentions. For the first blow against God's plan, Lucifer projected his essence into the Garden of Eden, where it took the form of a serpent. In this form, once he broke into the Garden of Eden, Lucifer twisted the minds of the humans and tempted and tricked the First Woman, Eve, into eating the Forbidden Fruit of knowledge, stripping the human race of innocence by granting them the knowledge of good and evil, causing them to partake of the Forbidden Fruit (the Quince), and turned Lilith (Adam and Eve's first born) into the first demon to try and show how warped humans were, however, it instead caused God, Oracle, and Michael to curse and exile him to another dimension, the barren expanse known by many as Hell, the final destination for damned souls. Because of Lucifer's actions which corrupted humanity, God created Hell and had asked Michael to cast Lucifer and Lilith into it as punishment for his actions. From then on, every human was instilled with the nature to live sinfully, sentencing them to fall to Hell upon death; the price of sin is spiritual damnation. Being now corrupt, this got humanity expelled from the garden. Lucifer set his sights on Abel (the third child of Adam and Eve) and managed to manipulate Abel into listening to him rather than God to try and corrupt him next but, in fear for his brother's soul, Cain stepped in and made a deal with Lucifer asking for Abel to ascend to Heaven in exchange for Cain going to Hell, but Lucifer only agreed if Cain was the one who killed him. Lucifer offered to take Cain instead of Abel if he killed him with his own hands. Cain agreed, and eventually Cain changed into a powerful demon who personally created and trained the Knights of Hell, an elite order of demons hand-picked by Lucifer himself out of the very first demons. When it was done, Lucifer warped more humans into becoming demons and along with the angels who supported him, such as the Grigori, fought against Michael and the rest of the Heavenly Host. His rebellion was lost however and Michael cast Lucifer into a special cage in Hell. His treachery against his Father earned him imprisonment in the lowermost Circle of the Inferno, where his bitter tears and the icy winds generated from his ruined wings created the Cocytus, a frozen lake. Lucifer was trapped in the deepest part of Hell, needing 66 seals to be broken to set him free (the last of which was Lilith's death).

### **Time in Hell**

Once in his cage, from this moment on, Lucifer became associated with, and was often referred to by, the name "Satan" or "The Devil." The word "Satan" literally means "The Adversary" or "The Accuser". Being trapped in the belly of Hell distorted Lucifer. His inner ugliness, caused by his hatred and wickedness, slowly became reflected in his outward appearance, transforming him into a brutish, fearsome abomination. His fellow rebels also suffered, becoming the first members of his new demonic hierarchy. In time, Lucifer attained dominion over Hell, plotting a means to destroy Paradise, kill God, and drag the last of his beloved human race into the mouth of the Inferno. Despite being sealed away, he was still considered the ruler of Hell and the lord of all demons. The cage that Lucifer was imprisoned in was designed so that he could never leave or escape it on his own, and it was then further locked with 600 powerful seals. Any 66 of those 600 seals would have to be broken by an outside being in order to free Lucifer. The seals served to bind Lucifer's power and to keep him from escaping his new prison in Hell. Of the 66 seals required to free Lucifer, only 2 of them are required in a specific order. The first seal is quoted by Alastair as, "And it is written, that the first seal shall be broken when a righteous man sheds blood in Hell. As he breaks, so shall it break." The final seal is quoted by Ruby as "And it is written, that the first demon shall be the last seal." Aside from those two seals, any other 64 of the remaining 598 seals will suffice. Here, Morningstar ruled, awaiting the day he could be freed.

## Personality

"*I was a loyal and devoted son to an omnipotent father. And a brother, a younger brother. And I had an older brother who I loved. Idolized, as a matter or fact. And one day, I went to him and I begged him, literately BEGGED him, to stand with me, right by my side. But Michael...Michael turned on me. He called me a freak, a monster. And then he beat me down. Not just because he was ordered to, but all because I was different. Because I had a mind of my own.*"
—Lucifer's sense of betrayal
Lucifer was once the most beautiful and beloved angel 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, he was unwilling to accept that he was no longer God's favorite. When God commanded all those ofHeaven 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. Because of this unforgivable blasphemy against God, Lucifer continued to create more and more monsters and more and more demons and after waging war again, he was further punished by being placed into an additional solitary imprisonment within Hell. He remained there in isolation for a millennium. Lucifer's long term goal was to eventually be freed from the Cage, eradicate humanity, and restore Earth to its original "untainted" glory. It is suggested that Lucifer only used demons and monster 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 killed dozens of monsters.

As the embodiment and creator of evil, Lucifer has all the characteristic descriptions that would fit the common criteria of which evil is depicted. Of his evil depictions, the most notable of which Lucifer exhibits, he portrays himself as intelligent, forceful, bossy, dictatorial, manipulative, deceptive, traitorous and cunning, able to convince his followers to do his bidding with various Faustian bargains. Oftentimes, he forces his foes to endure harsh trials before they can encounter him.

He is exceptionally proud, arrogant, overconfident, conceited, sadistic, monstrous, calculating and gleefully punishes the damned as it is he who devised and controls all the tortures of hell. He is very hedonistic and indulges in all the vices and pleasures from within his kingdom. He also seems to possess something of a cannibalistic streak and enjoys eating the organs and brains of his enemies.

Although making claims stating that he is an angel of justice and righteousness, Lucifer's views are ridiculously skewed, having a sense of pride that overwhelms any sort of ability to act with kindness, goodness or reason towards any individuals besides himself and his allies. He sees 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 completely disobey God, thereby severing his connection to Him and Paradise.

Lucifer claims that he never lies or tricks, because he does not have to. He often promises that he would be honest to people. He also said that he sympathizes with most people, with them being victims like himself. He would to some lengths to get a human's acceptance, sparing a humans life once, and allowing Nigel revenge against some of the vampires that controlled his life. Despite this, Lucifer 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.

Lucifer shows concern for his fellow angels, though it is the archangels and Oracle he loves most. He once confronted Oracle and admired the angel's loyalty in refusing to reveal the presence of his friends. He invited Oracle to join him, and when Oracle refused, Lucifer respected his decision. Lucifer was remorseful when forced to kill Gabriel and disappointed when Michael berated him. When preparing to fight his older sibling in their pre-destined battle, Lucifer pleaded with Michael to "walk off the chessboard," but even though there was a huge desire to do so, Michael remained determined to fulfill his destiny and serve God. Even so, when a younger fallen angel struck Michael with holy fire, Lucifer was outraged by the attack on his brother and obliterated the young angel.

Gabriel criticized Lucifer, describing his actions as "*one great big temper tantrum.*" Death and Chathon both made similar observations, as they have both called him a bratty and petulant child with daddy issues. 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 anything or anyone, even if he has no true reason for killing them. For example, he barbarically massacred all the reformed supernaturals (except for Mother, who was rescued and escaped), simply because they plotted against him, despite the fact that they posed no real threat to him.

## Physical Appearance

Lucifer was once the most beautiful and beloved angel in all of existence. Additionally, as an angel, Lucifer's true form is so incredibly dangerous, terrifying, hazardous, and overwhelming because it was so beautiful. He described himself as once being, "*The brightest in the sky.*" As with all angels, including Archangels, anyone or anything that looks at Lucifer's true appearance will become deaf or blind and they can even get killed.

After he was cast into Hell, Lucifer had changed into an ancient, muscular, supernaturally tall, humanoid demon with black skin and has several glowing scars around his body. He has glowing red/orange/yellow eyes, two large horns on his head and small spikes on his shoulders and chest. He wears an bronze/gold armlet on his right arm in the shape of a serpent, and his legs appear to be those of a goat (similar to a Satyr). His angelic wings are still with him, however, they are more demonic and dragon-like.

Human physically wise, Lucifer appears as a tall, very handsome and attractive man with a well built, toned physique. Lucifer possesses dark colored hair and brown eyes that contrasts with his paleish-tanned skin. His physical appearance is that of around a middle age despite being over billions of years old. Even as an angelic warrior, he was well-built. Lucifer has a light complexion with olive undertones and has a strong bone structure with high cheeks bones and a solid jaw line. He possesses black hair, as well as a shaved face, usually styled in a casual disarray yet sometimes gelled for special occasions. He can be described as relatively athletic, tall, strong, sexy and seductive. He also considers himself the "eternal stud".

Lucifer's clothing style has remained the same throughout his appearance in the series, usually favoring darker clothing; black shirts, t-shirts and boots underneath darkened jeans and black trousers. Lucifer is rarely seen without his leather jackets and his favorite clothing designer is "John Varvatos". He also often wears a dark suit and tie. He has a nice English accent, which people usually find "charming".

## Powers and Abilities

As an elder Archangel who was favored by God, one of the two oldest and strongest archangels, and an immortal creation of God Himself, Lucifer is said to be immensely and tremendously powerful and among one of the most powerful supernatural beings ever created to exist in existence, possessing a vast amount ofenormous nigh-omnipotent supernatural power. Lucifer is described by Zachariah and in scripture as being a god-like angelic celestial being of immense supernatural power, great wrath and light, and "*powerful in ways that defy description*"; one of the most powerful angels ever created, if not among the most powerful. He was said to be fourth in authority, glory, and grace only to God Himself, Oracle, and Michael in eminence before his fall. Because archangels are independent when cut off from Heaven, Lucifer maintains all his powers, even while in Hell. Although he is fallen from grace, he still maintains his angelic divinity as well as those of theangels that fell with him. After his fall from Paradise and becoming the ruler of Hell, he gains incredible demonic power and becomes extremely powerful and possesses great demonic power along with enormous strengthand immortality. He can slam his fists into the ground to generate shockwaves, use his wings to create enormous gusts of icy wind, generate powerful storms, and use various ice based attacks. In his true vessel, he is even more powerful, wielding a flaming sword in combat and is able to unleash shockwaves, generate fire attacks, teleport, and fly. Lucifer also has the power to appear in a humanoid form made of black smoke, one that he appears in most often. He is the most powerful being in all of Hell. He is far superior to all demons and to almost all other angels, and has displayed immense supernatural powers on Earth while free from his cage. The immensity of his power was further shown by how an improper human vessel, Nick, decayed greatly as a result of containing him and had to consume gallons of demon blood to maintain his form. Only few beings are more powerful than him, one of which is Michael, though he showed no fear when facing his older brother. His only rivals are the Archangels, including Michael, and the only beings said to be more powerful than him and all other supernatural beings in all areas put together is God, Death, and Oracle. Lucifer has an immaculate amount of power, below are listed the powers he has demonstrated in the show.

* **Nigh-Omnipotence** - Being the second oldest and strongest archangel and fourth only to God, Lucifer is incredibly and unimaginably powerful. As only God, Death, The Darkness, Oracle, and Michael can defeat him with certainty, Lucifer possesses a tremendous amount of virtually incalculable, near-omnipotent supernatural power. He is one of the most powerful created beings ever created that ever has or ever will exist in the Universe; fourth only to God Almighty himself, Oracle, and Michael in power and authority; he can create, manipulate, destroy and restore almost anything he desires. Lucifer is also able to manipulate any external force for any effect he desires. Lucifer is capable of creating almost anything from living beings to entire multiverses. His most common use of power is calling forth the fire of the various suns he used to birth and burning his opponents to ashes. Lucifer's only superiors are God, Death, Oracle, and Michael. Zachariah explains that Lucifer is powerful in ways that defy description and that his very presence on Earth would cause fiery skies and summon the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He can even slay ancient pagan deities with ease, despite using an imperfect and decaying vessel, and he is shown to be more powerful than even the oldest and mightiest of pagan deities. The immensity of his power can be seen when he possesses an imperfect vessel; it will begin to slowly decay and eventually spontaneously combust due to barely being able to contain Lucifer's immense power and presence, something that the human body was not built to process. Only a vessel that was built specifically to contain Lucifer, such as a descendant of Cain and Abel, can successfully and safely host him and access his full power. When in his true vessel, he can use the full extent of his powers. Unlike most characters, the extent of his powers is not limited by his presence, as such giving them a near infinite range. His power is so vast and so feared that Oracle, despite being older and much more powerful than Lucifer, showed an open concern with ensuring Michael defeated Lucifer, suggesting that despite his extremely advanced powers, Lucifer, either by himself or together with an army, would be able to defeat Oracle. Lucifer's only superiors are God, Death, Oracle, and Michael and the other archangels are his rivals.
* **Nigh-Invincibility** - Lucifer, being the second Archangel, is unimaginably powerful. As only Michael, Oracle, Death, and God can defeat him, Lucifer has incalculable supernatural power. He can even slay ancient pagan deities with ease.
* **Sins Detection** - He can detect the sins of people.
* **Sins Exhibition** - Lucifer's mere presence lowers the inhibitions of everyone around him, inducing them to revealing their true nature, their deepest, darkest, and most forbidden secrets and desires.
* **Skilled Fighter** - As one of the oldest angels in the history of all of creation and the second-born, second oldest, and second strongest archangel, Lucifer is a near-perfectly skilled fighter. He nearly defeated five archangels at once. He was able to casually fight Rayne and Mia both at once, even when both of them were at full power. However, his fighting skills are only rivaled by Michael and Oracle.
* **Immortality** - As an angel, Lucifer, like all celestial beings, has an indefinitely long lifespan and is immortal and existed before mankind. He is above and beyond the reach of mortality, is not subjected to the passing of time, old aging, or diseases, and does not tire, doesn't need to breathe, eat, drink or sleep and does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain his vessel. Lucifer will never grow physically old and can live forever. Lucifer also can't be killed as seen when he is shot multiple times but still alive. He is billions of years old. The excessive passing of time does not degrade his form or even his vessel, like with all celestial beings. He is among the first angels and is therefore older than the Earth itself and humanity, making him well over 4.5 billion years old. He will potentially live eternally, as only God andOracle can destroy him. He and even his vessel is unaffected by diseases and toxins. On one occasion,Camael clearly says about killing Lucifer, "*It's foolish, it can't be done*", and later calls the task "*insane*". However, he is not above and beyond the authority of death, as an Archangelic blade can kill him, as can God, Death, Oracle and/or most likely Michael.
* **Angelic Possession** - As a spiritual being, like all angels, even Lucifer has no physical presence and can take possession of human bodies and is required to use a human body or 'vessel' to exist in the physical world on Earth, as Zechariah emphasizes. And he needs the vessel's permission, as like with all angels. Because of the immensity of his power, he must use a vessel descended from Cain and/or Abel, or it will begin to decay.
* **Divine Powers** - Lucifer's Archangelic nature gives him divine grace and powers.
* **Illumination White Light** - As the Archangel of Light, Lucifer, like all archangels, is able to release divine light from his vessel. He also is able to generate intense heat and can also disintegrate any object or thing by touch. He once captured a fallen angel by disabling him with a burst of white light. Lucifer can also destroy vast areas with this ability.
* **Invulnerability** - Being an immortal Archangel, Lucifer is completely indestructible by mortal means and he cannot feel pain, be killed, destroyed or die by any means and thus far is the only one in Hell who cannot die in the Underworld. While Fallen Angels can be killed, Lucifer can only be imprisoned. He was the third most powerful angel in heaven after Oracle and Micheal and he takes no damage from anything except for Michael, Oracle, Death & God. Even Lucifer's vessel is impervious to damage and injury, except when harmed or penetrated by an archangel blade, his archangel siblings, Oracle, God or Death, supernatural weapons of significant power, or his archangel siblings. Kali, the most powerful of the pagan god deities at the gathering of the pagan god deities, tried to harm him with a pyrokinetic attack, but it had no effect and Lucifer simply smiled at her attempt at harming him, showing him to be unaffected by extreme temperatures. Normal angel blades somehow cause him initial pain, but he soon recovered, though it should be noted that his temporary vessel was decaying at the time. When in his true vessel, Lucifer is much more powerful, and it's probable he'd be completely impervious to normal angel blades. No mortal weapon or Earthly force can harm Lucifer. His bones are unbreakable and his bodily tissues are stronger than any solid substance or material known to Man, including metals and minerals such as steel and diamond.
* **Immunity** - Lucifer is one of only five things in creation that the Blade of the Van Helsings cannot kill.
* **Cosmic Awareness** - Lucifer possesses an immensely and almost incalculable amount of superhuman intelligence, insight, wisdom, and awareness of virtually everything that happens in the universe and has vast intellect and possesses absolute wisdom and the potential to transcend all earthly things, as Raynehas said, "*I'm sure he knows a buttload we don't.*", and is instinctively aware of events happening in the universe. Indeed, his knowledge beyond any human philosopher or scientist. He knows spells capable of binding the Horsemen to him, as he has knowledge of magic Latin rituals that can summon Death himself and bind him into servitude, but he, according to Oracle, didn't know about the GTX Convertible. He has given the 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.
* **God-like Superhuman Strength** - As an elder archangel, Lucifer has nearly unlimited incredible physical strength and endows his vessel with vastly immense super-strength that makes him unfathomably physically strong, sufficient enough to being able to bend steel in his bare hands, do the work of several laborers in half the time, send grown humans flying with the slightest touch, crush diamonds, shatter concrete like glass, lift cars with ease, leap the tallest building with a single bound, push the Earth out of orbit with ease, lift or move planets and stars, and even having slaughtered ancient pagan deities, even the mightiest of pagan gods, with his bare hands with minor effort. As Gabriel predicted, it became a blood bath and Lucifer "*turned them into finger paint.*" Lucifer went on a rampage in during which he brutally ripped the other gods to shreds, beating them to death and tearing off their limbs through sheer force. He was able to knock down and out the powerful pagan god, Kali, with one punch and punched through Baldur's chest. This makes him among the strongest beings in all of existence. He can challenge and defeat superhuman Juggernauts in battle. Even Lucifer's vessel can move stars and planets with his brute strength. As the second oldest archangel, he's significantly stronger than the vast majority of any other supernatural beings: such as other angels (except his older brothers Michael and Oracle), as well as all demons, all spirits, all humans, all monsters (shown when he threw Rayne, a powerful 300 year oldDhampir, into a bus), and virtually any being and he can overpower even the mightiest of pagan gods with his bare hands. As chief of all demons, he is the strongest. Lucifer is superior to humans in strength and physical power, as humans are powerless against him in terms of physical might; he once effortlessly threw Mia into the Impala with great force and later literally beat her to a bloody pulp, nearly killing her, despite her being a Slayer. Oracle indicated that Mia only survived not only because he healed her but because he himself fought and defeated Lucifer. Lucifer is even stronger than any otherarchangel (except Michael), as shown when he was also able to casually overpower his younger brother Gabriel, an archangel like him. Only God, Oracle, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are his superiors in strength and although only his archangel siblings are his equals, only Michael is his certain equal and possible superior in strength. The chains of Judecca that bound his first form (a much weaker form than his true form) had to be anchored throughout all the circles of Hell to keep his arms from moving.
* **God-like Superhuman Speed** - Lucifer is swift and extraordinarily fast. He can and is able to move, react, and fly faster than a bullet and faster than at the speed of light; able to encircle the whole earth seven and a half times on foot in one second. His reflexes are also heightened far beyond normal humans and even lesser angels he is able to move so fast that he can even catch both Rayne and Mia off guard.
* **Super Agility** - Lucifer can move with flawless and effortless grace as well as jump higher and further than any mortal.
* **Superhuman Durability** - Lucifer is highly resistant to injury. Though holy magic can affect him it is shown that its effects are more of a hindrance rather than harm.
* **Superhuman Stamina** - Lucifer is not subject to fatigue and can exert himself at full capacity forever. Even his vessel is unaffected by diseases and toxins. He does not tire, and does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain his vessel.
* **Astral Projection** - Lucifer travels through Hell and Earth via a shadowy version of himself. This shadow self is tangible and attacks with magic based energy. The shadow has superhuman strength, as it lifted both Rayne and Mia off the ground with each of them in one hand, and it also has the ability to use magic as it ignited an entire forest on fire by chanting Satanic Latin spells. It also appears to be able to shapeshift and change its size.
* **Flight** - Lucifer can fly by spreading his large dragon-like wings out (which were originally white peacock-like wings then became demonic-dragon-like wings), allowing him the power to fly. In addition, Lucifer is independent of gravity and can fly with or even without his wings.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor** - If Lucifer's vessel receives any physical damage, the wound will completely heal instantaneously. When stabbed with the Blade of the Van Helsings, for example, the cut healed in under a minute. Interestingly, the ability does not reverse the decay caused to Nick by Lucifer's power. Lucifer is unaffected by natural diseases and illnesses. Lucifer heals his vessel from mortal wounds and cures him of any disease or impairment. Lucifer is not subject to disease. However, he did not fully and instantly recover from being stabbed in the chest by Death's Scythe.
* **Shapeshifting** - Interestingly, Lucifer, while in a vessel, can change/alter his true physical angelic form/appearance to anything he wishes regardless of being inside a vessel or otherwise when outside of a vessel - he's the only archangel to have done so - making himself look as either a dashingly handsome young man, a fearsome demo with red skin and blazing red eyes, or his true form. Also, when in a vessel, Lucifer can change his shape into any person he wants, like or similar to Gabriel's ability; Lucifer once took the form of a Reaper to lure Oracle away. Lucifer can take the form of a snake. In addition, he could even disguise himself as God. Additionaly, he can also just alter the color of his eyes, and make only a select few people see his demonic form (while others still see him as a handsome human).
* **Teleportation** - When outside of his Cage, Lucifer, like all celestial beings, can instantaneously appear, vanish and disappear at will and move and travel anywhere instantly through space, time, and any place on the face of the Earth, without any physical presence and without occupying the space in between. He is nearly omnipresent. However, when imprisoned in his cage, he cannot leave unless it is opened by an outside force. In addition, as he is the first fallen angel, Lucifer also cannot enter Heaven.
* **Multitasking presence** - While not quite omnipresent, Lucifer is capable of simultaneously existing in and interacting in more than one of his dream realities. He described doing this as "multitasking."
* **Power Negation** - Lucifer can prevent lesser supernatural creatures from using their powers, as Baldur and Kali where unable to teleport either themselves or Rayne, Mia, Sidney, and Nigel when he arrived at the motel where they were hiding.
* **Superhuman Senses** - Lucifer's senses are heightened to the point where he can perceive everything everywhere at once and in perfect harmony. Lucifer has the ability to sense specific odors. He can smell out virgins, sinners and Nephilim when they come of age.
* **Telepathy** - Lucifer can communicate with others with his mind. Lucifer had complete access to Mia's memories and thoughts even though he didn't possess her. Even without a human vessel, Lucifer was a able to speak with others in their dreams while taking on the appearance of their loved ones.
* **Empathy** - Lucifer can read the emotions of his vessel, and presumably humans who were not his vessel.
* **Advanced Telekinesis** - Lucifer can and has the ability to impart kinetic energy on matter with his mind and move physical objects with his mind without touching them. He is extremely proficient, being able to rip pagan deities apart with this power. His telekinesis is powerful enough to throw beings across a room, break a human's neck, or pin them to a wall. He can dismember a person just by holding his hand up to said person and could also telekinetically unscrew the bolts on his madman vessel's harness during the 1918 ritual. Lucifer was also once able to levitate and spin a coin with his mind.
* **Magic** - Lucifer has unlimited magical power allowing him to perform nearly unmatched feats. He also has great knowledge in black sorcery, with which he can fire powerful unholy projectile attacks, run his energies into the ground, take enemy magic attacks and turn it against them, and create a force field around him to protect him from holy magic. He can open portals to the other worlds like Purgatory. He can even destroy immortal weapons like Death's Scythe. He grants magic to the unholy priests of hell and can also provide it for Satanic rituals on earth. Lucifer can also choose the soul's destination if he kills a person or supernatural being.
* **Sonic Cry** - His voice can shatter mountains.
* **Animal Communication** - Lucifer can talk to and understand.
* **Heat Generation** - Lucifer can generate heat out of thin air. He can also degenerate it.
* **Angel of God** - Lucifer was arguably among the most powerful angels created by God and is only matched by his brothers Michael and Oracle. Even the other fallen angels in Hell do not pose a challenge to him. All angels possess free will, which is why Lucifer rebelled against God.
* **Dominion over Hell** - All demons and beings of Hell (with the exception of the other Fallen Angels who have free will) must obey Lucifer's will; all the tortures in Hell are devised by Lucifer. He can damn souls to Hell, even if they are free of sin, and Heaven bound should they make a wager with him and lose. Although he can choose to set souls free from Hell, he never does. Despite this, he is still a prisoner of Hell and was bound in Lake Cocoytus by God Himself.
* **Minions** - Lucifer has an endless number of minions, worshipers and followers. One-third of the angels of Heaven are in allegiance with him. The dwellers, night-fiends and demons of Hell all serve his every whim. He also has an army of zombies which he can send to Earth. He has many followers on earth who gather in his personal satanic churches among these notably are the Satanists who have established cults in tribute to him.
* **Umbrakinesis/Darkness Manipulation** - As the Prince of Darkness, Lucifer can manipulate dark forces in various ways. However, he cannot manipulate the Darkness itself.
* **Elemental Manipulation** - Lucifer can manipulate all elements, including Quintessence.
* **Sword of Lucifer** - He possesses a powerful sword that he can channel his energy into. It is the same sword he used during the War in Heaven. He can manifest and demanifest this sword at will. It sometime appears on fire.
* **Dream Walking** - Lucifer has the ability to enter a person's dreams. Even without a human vessel, Lucifer was able to speak with Rayne in her dreams while taking on the appearance of her deceased mother. He demonstrated this again when he spoke to Mia in her dreams while taking on the appearance of her father.
* **Cryokinesis/Thermokinesis** - Lucifer can freeze and unfreeze ice as well as create, manipulate, and generate hellish ice and cold to his will. He can also alter temperatures to a drastic degree. His presence alone in Detroit caused incredible drops in temperature and he froze a pane of glass by merely breathing on it.
* **Chronokinesis** - Lucifer can create and control time itself.
* **Dimensional Manipulation** - Lucifer holds god-like authority over any dimension that he creates.
* **Pyrokinesis** - Lucifer can create, summon, sense, extinguish, and control hellish fire.
* **Memory Manipulation** - Lucifer can remove or restore memories of humans.
* **Supernatural Perception** - Lucifer can perceive the true form of beings invisible to the human eye. Lucifer was able to see the true form of Death when he raised the Horseman out of his prison.
* **Aerokinesis/Atmokinesis/Weather Manipulation** - Lucifer, like Michael and Raphael, can summon powerful hellish winds and tornadoes as well as alter or even manipulate the weather, as he can create hurricanes, waves of diseases, tsunamis, and can cause the temperature to rise or drop dramatically. When Lucifer was released, he altered the weather by creating severe winds and causing hurricanes and tornadoes across the world. He made the entire city of Detroit's temperature drop simply through his presence.
* **Biokinesis/Molecular Combustion** - With a wave of his hands or a snap of his fingers, Lucifer is able to speed up an object's molecules to the point where he causes it to explode. Lucifer killed a younger fallen angel by speeding up his molecules to the point where it caused him to explode simply by snapping his fingers. Lucifer could also cause people's blood pressure to increase massively, to the point of heavy bleeding from the eyes, nose and mouth. He could also cause vampires to suffer severe internal pain.
* **Mind control** - Lucifer was able to manipulate Humans and supernaturals such as Werewolves through the use of whispers, and also commands once an individual was under his control. He could also force people to speak the truth just by telling them to.
* **Rot** - Lucifer once caused a vase of flowers to wither and die just by passing by them.
* **Advanced Reality Warping**- Lucifer is able to warp massive quantities of reality. He can manipulate buildings' interiors so that whenever anyone entered an exit from a room, they would come out back in the room through another entrance. He could also transport beings such as Ghosts through mirrors to other locations, and could create alternative virtual dream realities based on people's longings and desires. Although displayed only a few times in person, Lucifer also reminded Gabriel that he taught him everything he knew about using this power, when the latter tried to use it to kill him. Upon his escape the Koreans made their first successful nuclear test.
* **Door opening** - Lucifer could open doors to the Other Side.
* **Control over the Men with Sticks and Rope** - Lucifer could apparently control the Men with Sticks and Ropes and even allow them to manifest on the physical plane in their true form.
* **Binding** - Lucifer can send Ghosts to other locations through mirrors, and inhibit their ability to teleport out of locations.
* **Extra-Sensory Awareness** - Lucifer can almost instantly sense when his and Mr. Rook's plot to use Bobby had failed, despite the fact that they were in another part of the Hotel at the time.
* **Soul Reading** - Lucifer at one point claimed to Rook that the latter was already damned due to his actions.
* **Emotion-sensing** - Lucifer can sense with no effort the negative emotions that Hal, Tom and Alex were directing at each other.
* **Necromancy** - After Natasha killed herself while under the influence of Lucifer's powers, her corpse kept saying "he will rise" as Lucifer's power was replenished by the energy from Hal and Tom's fighting.
* **Curse creation** - Lucifer could, at least through a pact, curse humans and turn them into a new supernatural species; this is how he created vampirism, and the Devil is also responsible for creating lycanthropy and for causing dead humans to become ghosts.
* **Liquikinesis** - Lucifer indicated that he could transform liquids such as water into other kinds of liquids; at one point stating that he would prove he was the Devil by turning water into wine, were that miracle not "copyrighted."
* **Spell Casting** - Lucifer was able to bind the Horsemen to his presence with a spell, controlling their actions to a moderate degree. He also performed a ritual sacrifice of demons to release Death from his coffin. He also knew how to ward angels from the Angel Tablet.
* **Resurrection** - Lucifer, like all archangels, can easily revive dead people and recall lost souls, raising the spirits of the dead and restore them to their bodies. He is also said to be able to bring back deceased angels, as Lucifer’s younger brother Raphael was under the impression that he is powerful enough to bring back deceased angels.
* **Terrakinesis** - Lucifer can generate earthquakes through his mere presence on the earth with ease; he was able to cause them at a colossal range, creating several across the whole world while he was in America.
* **Precognition** - Lucifer can see and accurately predict the future, but he could not see the whole picture; he knew he would possess his true vessel in Detroit and told him the first time he met him.
* **Torturing** - Lucifer is skilled in torture, both physical and spiritual. He tortured Lilith's spirit to the point where he turned her into the original demon. He also tortured Sidney to the point where the mental damage would have killed him, had Oracle not put up the mental barrier.
* **Psychic Projection** - Despite being trapped in the cage, he could still communicate to beings on Earth, as he did with Azazel, though Azazel had to sacrifice several nuns for this to be achieved.

## Weaknesses and Vulnerabilities

Lucifer is a very difficult entity to defeat or even challenge. Although he is incredibly powerful in his own right, even being the second oldest archangel in existence, even Lucifer himself has weaknesses, but as an immortal being, he only has a few even in comparison to his archangelic siblings.

### **Harming, Misleading and Trapping**

* **Enochian Sigils** - Lucifer also cannot track or locate humans who have been and are warded with Enochian sigils against all angelic detection.
* **Denial** - Denying him any and everything will always repel him. But it is considered wise for one to be obstinant.
* **Turok-Hans** - As God's first beasts and being almost as old as Angels, Turok-Hans can harm archangels, including Lucifer.
* **Turk-Han Bite** - While a Turok-Han bite can't kill Lucifer, it weakens him and causes hallucinations. The effects are temporary and only lasts for a few hours.
* **Lucifer's Cage** - God's own creation, this cell is powerful enough that is can be able to hold and imprison any angel, therefore including Lucifer himself without any internal means of escape, as God created the cage specifically designed to bind Lucifer's power, since Lucifer has been in there since he waged war once again against God during the birth of Christ.
* **Holy Oil** - Holy fire could banish Lucifer for a short time and cause him pain but as it did not kill Michael, it can't kill Lucifer too. When Lucifer was summoned to speak to Sidney, holy fire was part of the warding.

### **Banishing and Destroying**

#### **Beings**

* **Archangels** - While all other angel types can't physically and severely hurt Lucifer with their own strength, Archangels can physically hurt each other. His closest fellow archangel brothers and sisters (particularly Michael) can harm him, like Gabriel did to Lucifer, and are potentially capable of killing him in battle. But he is considerably and significantly stronger than Gabriel, Raphael, Sariel, Uriel, and Ariel. Although Lucifer potentially rivals Michael's power, Michael however is ultimately stronger and a selection of angels (like Camael and Zachariah) recognized that if Lucifer fought Michael, Michael would inevitably win again.
* **Michael** - Being the eldest archangel, it is said that Michael's power rivals, or possibly surpasses Lucifer's power. However, it is confirmed that Michael is the superior of the two given that he has defeated Lucifer once during the War in Heaven. Thus, Michael has the power to kill him.
* **Oracle** - Being the Original Seraphim Angel, Oracle is even more powerful than and can harm and kill Lucifer.
* **Death** - As literally the bringer of Death and being older than him, he can kill any being and anything, including Lucifer, but except God.
* **God** - As the creator of Lucifer, and the most powerful being in existence, God can kill Lucifer. God is more powerful than Lucifer, being the one who created him, and can destroy or unmake him with ease. However, because of God's unconditional love for his angels, Lucifer has never feared God's wrath.
* **The Darkness** - As a primordial force that rivals God and Death, the Darkness can kill Lucifer.

#### **Weapons**

* **Archangel Blade** - Designed specifically to kill Archangels, Archangel blades can harm and kill Lucifer. However given that only 7 exist, and Ariel, Uriel, Sariel, Raphael, and Gabriel are weaker than him, only an Archangel Blade from Michael himself can kill him.
* **Original Angelic Blades** - Being the most powerful angelic blades ever created and among the most powerful weapons in the universe carried by Oracle himself, these blades can harm and kill archangels, including Lucifer.
* **Death's Scythe** - Being a weapon forged by Death himself, Death's Scythe can literately kill anything.

## Relationships

### Lucifer and Michael

"*You and I...we're going to kill each other. And for what? One of Dads tests...and we don't even know the answer. There is another way. There is no shame in walking away, Michael. We're brothers. Now, is your loyalty to our Father truly worth more than your love for our brothers and sisters? We're brothers, Michael. So let's you and I just both walk right of the bloody chest board.*"
–Lucifer to Michael, before fighting each other
Michael is Lucifers' older archangel brother. Early in their lives as young angels, they were close, engaging in friendly sword fights. Lucifer use to not only love Michael, but also idolized him. However, their relationship became strained when Lucifer defied God and betrayed Michael and all their brothers and sisters. Though they still love one another, their relationship unfortunately becomes even worse than ever when Lucifer curses the Earth with evil and forms the corruption of mankind. Their relationship becomes estranged/broken after this, as they both want nothing to do with each other any more.

### Lucifer and God

"*I loved Him...more than anything.*"
–Lucifer, about his relationship with God
God is Lucifer's father and creator. Lucifer looked up to God and loved Him more than anything else. Lucifer once had a strong relationship with God, and thus he was fiercely loyal and devoted to Him. But when God ordered all angels to bow down before humanity, Lucifer defied this order and led a rebellion against God. For this treachery, God banished Lucifer from Heaven. But because Lucifer felt betrayed by God, he created sin on the Earth and cursed it and the humans with evil and corruption. Because of this, God had Lucifer banished toHell. Though God still loves Lucifer, he is very ashamed of and disappointed in him.

### Lucifer and Oracle

Oracle is Lucifer's oldest brother and sibling. Like Lucifer did with Michael and God, Lucifer looked up to and idolized Oracle. As Oracle was the trainer of the Angels, he also taught Lucifer. During sparring sections, Oracle always beat Lucifer, but no matter how many times he did, he was always impressed with his little brother's fighting capabilities. Lucifer mentioned that he loves Oracle and always will, as will Oracle as well. But since Lucifer's fall from Heaven, Oracle and Lucifer have become distant. Though they still love each other, they want nothing to do with each other.

### Lucifer and Gabriel

Gabriel is Lucifer's younger archangel brother. Gabriel and Lucifer both have a short temper and also have brotherly bond. Lucifer cares deeply for Gabriel. Lucifer took care of Gabriel in Heaven, and showed him different tricks, such as his phenomenal reality warping tricks. But since Lucifer's fall from Heaven, their relationship has been almost as strained as Lucifer's relationship with Michael. Although Gabriel still loves Lucifer, Gabriel and Lucifer seem to argue every time they talk to each other. Gabriel even joked to Lucifer about his so called "righteous" pathway to paradise.

## Quotes

* "These people, even all my brothers and m sisters, they all misunderstand me. They call me "Satan" and "the Devil" but...do they really know my crime? I loved God too much. And for that He betrayed me -- punished me. Just as He's punished most of them. After all, how could God stand ideally by while mankind often butcher each other? And how could he also ideally stand by and watched us angels rip each other's throats out. As far as I'm concerned, there are only two rational answers, Sidney -- either, He's sadistic...or He simply doesn't care."
* "I've had no need to influence humanity for many millennia, my dear. I simply introduced sin. Man is the one who has spread it like a disease; cultivating it, empowering it."
* "The Earth is another form of Hell. And men are its demons."
* "I was a son. A brother. A younger brother. And I had an older brother who I loved. Idolized, in fact. And one day, I went to him and I begged him to stand with me, and Michael...Michael turned on me. Called me a freak. A monster. And then he beat me down. All because I was different. Because I had a mind of my own."
* "No one gives us the right...we take it."
* "Sorry if it's a bit chilly. Most people think I burn hot. It's actually quite the opposite."
* "You live in a simple world, your four. A world of sleepers and dreamers, of stories. A simple place compared to hell. I envy you. Can any of you imagine what it was like? Thousands of years providing a place for dead mortals to torture themselves? And like all masochists, they called the shots. 'Burn me', 'Freeze me', 'Eat me', 'Hurt me.' And we did. Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spent my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The Devil made me do it.' I have never made any one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them."

### **With Michael**

* "It's good to see you, Michael."
* "I always knew He'd pick and send you, you know. You have always been so eager to please Him."
* "Can you actually believe it's finally here?"
* "Part of me wishes we didn't have to do this, you know."
* "Think about it: Dad made everything, which means He made me who I am. God wanted the Devil!"
* "We're going to kill each other. And for what? One of Dads tests. We don't even know the answer. There is another way. We're brothers. There is no shame in walking away, Michael. So let's you and I just both walk right of the bloody chest board."
* "No-one makes Dad do anything. He is doing this to us!"
* "If that's the way it's gotta be...then I'd love to see you try, big brother."

#### **During their fight**

* "I love you, Michael, but I'm going to enjoy watching you die...my big brother."
* "You are the warrior of a weak and dying God - a God who is the true evil. His power wanes over this world."
* "Michael...brother, don't make me do it. We can still walk away."
* "That's enough! Michael, that's enough."

### **During his fight with Rayne and Mia**

* "You know...I tried to be nice...for your own sake. But you two are such a couple of pains...in my ass."
* "Destroy an Angel of God. Rayne and Mia, do you two think you can do better than Michael? You both honestly think you two can defeat the first of the Fallen Angels?! You arrogant gnats! Such vanity, such pride - I could have slain you both the moment you two crossed paths with me!"
* "You worship God, but it was He who created evil! It was He who created ME. If you two knew the true nature of God, Rayne, you too would both rebel."
* "How dare you!"
* "I grew weary of this game!"
* "Rayne, I'll rip you apart, you bloodsucking bitch! I'll suck the eyes from your dead skull! I will eat your organs and chew on your brains, you foul bastard!"
* "Yield to my supremacy!"
* "I am liberated! No force can stop me! And there is nothing you can do to stop me, mortals. No one can stop me."

### **With Oracle**

* "Oracle...oh my dear lord, big brother! It's been so long. It's so great to see you again."
* "So the rumors are true. I heard rumors you were on Earth, even from Lilith, but I didn't believe any of them…until now. Oh, big brother. It's so great to see you again."
* "The chains of Judecca couldn't hold me forever."
* "You know that I am speaking the truth, Oracle. As I said, I heard rumors that you were on Earth. But I also heard that you left because you hated killing our own siblings. You forget. I know you, Oracle. And now after turning your back on them and abandoning them for 200,000 years and spending that long on this world, you're just gonna help them stop me now?"
* "I have only just lost battles, Oracle. Didn't father, or as a matter or a fact, didn't you yourself always teach us not to rest until our work was done? To never leave our chores unfinished?"
* "A less than comforting surprise, Oracle. But that fails to stop me. And Oracle...this...'creation' of His, His pride and joy', is a failure of epic proportions. I myself can't stand the sight of them."
* "Doesn't it make you angry, Oracle? How could it not? They were given our birthright, Oracle. Gifted a paradise--this Earth, these bodies. And what did they do? They turned the planet into a pit. Look at what our Father's "Free Will" has done, Oracle!"
* "My quarrel is with them and anyone foolish enough to stand with them."
* "Oracle, if you're doing this for Father or Michael, I understand, but I ask that you not take part in this. I don't want to kill you."
* "They are broken, flawed, murderous abortions, Oracle. They elect leaders that despise them, and rob them of their freedom and dignity; they pollute and devour your own Eden; they know beauty to be false, but they prostrate yourselves before it; they think to be a philistine is honest, to be educated is cunning; they find the lowest common denominator and then you dig deeper! They're intelligent, I'll give them that. But they are inferior beings. They're weak."
* "Arrogant until the end. Is that why you have decided to grace all of us, even I myself, with your presence, Oracle? I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm...beyond indescribably happy to see you again, but is this why you're really here? To get me to stop? I can't stop. I will never stop. And my opinion on these humans will never change, as will they never change. Some of them may be able to change their behavior, but they can't change what they are, what they have become. This world is our father's last perfect handiwork, Oracle. But ever since the dawn of their creation, they have lived sinful lives. I'll admit, I may have made Adam and Eve eat off of the tree, may have corrupted their hearts, but I have had no need to influence mankind for many millennia, my brother. I simply introduced sin. Mankind is the one who has spread it like a disease; cultivating it, empowering it. Don't you understand? Now, this world is another form of Hell. And humans are its demons."
* "Dad is the one who allowed freewill, even for us angels. These humans are nothing to me. They never were and they never will be. If it was man He wanted me to serve, then I would rather have served myself."
* "Oracle...my heart breaks for you, my big brother. The weight on your shoulders, the weight on your wings: what you've done, what you're gonna have to do...even I myself do believe it is more than anyone, even you yourself, could possibly bear. If there was some other way...but there isn't. And plus, I've waited eternity for this fight! I will defeat you. And when I do, as sad as I will be, I will through myself a damn parade."
* "Oracle...I will always love you. But when I beat you, I will sing your defeat in the halls of Heaven."

#### **During their fight in Hell**

* "I've waited eternity for this fight!"
* "Man...what a feeble creation these people are. Their race made it easy to keep Hell going!"
* "You are a fool, Oracle!"
* "I shall sing your defeat in the halls of Paradise!"
* "Come for me, holy warrior! Come, fulfill your destiny."
* "You cannot imagine what it meant for me to be free of that eternal, tormenting prison. Don't you see? I was bound by our father in this frozen pit, only my shadow-self allowed to roam free."
* "Now truly suffer! Feel the pain I have felt!"
* "Damn You!"
* "Arrrgggh! Damn you!"
* "Cursed mongrel!"
* "Arrgh! Insolent creature!"
* "You dare assault ME?! YOU, who should have joined me in the rebellion! You saw Him create evil, Oracle! You knew his true nature better than anyone, more than Michael, more than Gabriel, even I myself. And yet, you didn't rebel. But me...I was the Morningstar, the brightest in the sky! I stood for our fellow angels, Oracle, for reason and justice. And then He made them, in His "image". Them, the flawed creation! And I was to bow down to them? They are nothing to me. They never were. Taking animals at best! What did our father ever see in them? How dare He make THEM the favored creation! I am the favored son! My gratitude for breaking the chains of Judecca. You dolt! Behold your ruin, and witness my escape into the Kingdom of Purgatory, and Paradise!"
* "I am sovereign of the Underworld AND the Afterlife!"
* "This is my Kingdom!"
* "Is that all you've got?"
* "WHY, Father?! Why them and not ME?!"
* "Remember the war in Heaven! Remember the Rebellion!"
* "The fallen sons of Paradise will rise again!"
* "I am so sick of you!"
* "Finally, I will reclaim my proper place in Heaven! Behold, Oracle! Beyond this part of the Inferno lies a gateway to the Earth where awaits your precious friends. But instead of you, I shall escape from this pit...again! I'll make the earth tremble, shake kingdoms, and leave the world a desert! And all of the souls on the Earth shall suffer and burn! And beyond the Earth, Paradise itself! I will restore my eminence, and all shall burn in my glory! I will plunge the cosmos into chaos! Soon, we shall all witness the end of the Universe! And Dad will finally see me rule His creation! We'll no longer suffer under His Plan, but shall be free under MINE!"
* "This power Oracle - we can use it together! You and I, brother. Just think what we could achieve! Join me Oracle! And together, we will rule all the kingdoms of the afterlife and the Universe! What say you, big brother?"
* "What are you DOING?! A repentant angel in Judecca?! STOP! DO NOT UTTER A WORD!"
* "Oracle please, NO! PLEASE DON'T! I BEG OF YOU, BIG BROTHER! PLEASE!"
* "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" (moments before being bound by ice)
