Satan

"*He used to be God's favorite... now he is the bringer of darkness, destined to engulf the world under infinite night*".

**Satan**, also known as **The Devil**, or **Lucifer**, is a sly, ambitious, and malevolent fallen angel who is the Biblical Lord of Hell. He is a character in The Hawk and The Crow, who is a unseen but pivotal antagonist in Origins of a Supernatural Legacy. He was previously mentioned in Don't Let the Darkness Consume You.

## Background

Satan is a fallen archangel who used to be God's favorite, until he fell from grace and became the first demon, also known as "The Embodiment of Chaos and Darkness".

## Appearance

Satan's true form is a humanoid being with large, bat-like wings and a head reminiscent of a goat, from which two long, twisting horns protrude. Due to his status as a former angel, it is possible that he has no actual gender, though he is indicated to be male.

## Personality

Largely cold, emotionless, and sly in disposition, Satan rarely smiled or laughed save for taunting others and mocking the fates of those harmed by his influence. He had very little regard for human life, and had no qualms in murdering and manipulating various mortals. He found great satisfaction in mankind's flaws, and frequently reminded his victims of this in various violent and psychologically harmful ways.

The kind of behavior Satan encouraged in other individuals is violent and disturbing, and would thereby contribute to his overall plan of bringing destruction in the faith of God and the downfall of mankind. In addition to his mind-breaking influence, Satan was endowed with many unnatural, otherworldly powers. Among them, the ability to read the minds of all those around him, where he took great joy in seeing other's darkest secrets and manipulating them for his own gain and amusement.

Though cruel and ambitious in nature, Satan was not without his redeeming qualities. He had strong values toward freedom of will and thought, believing firmly that no one should be told who they are or what they should be based on the rules of man and religion, and should, therefore, be able to make their own destinies.

## Powers and Abilities

As God's former favorite angel, Satan possesses vast supernatural abilities, and is one of the most powerful beings, who has control over the afterlife in Hell.

## Trivia

* Satan is heavily implied to be male or at least a masculine being. He also seems to engage in sexual activities with both men and women, indicating he is bisexual, and possesses an extremely hedonistic and sexually voracious personality, taking great pleasure in the suffering of others via an overtly sexual manner, while simultaneously encouraging people to follow a lifestyle of overindulgence and base urges.
* Arthur Blackwell has acknowledged that Satan is a representation of personal liberty and individualism, a concept used by Anton LaVey.
* As relayed by Anastasia Wynter, Satan is hated by other powerful supernatural forces, such as the Voodoo Loas, the Old Gods, and the The Otherworld.
	+ This is due to the fact that if Satan were to successfully bring about The Apocalypse via the Anti-Christ, thereby ending mankind, other deities would lose their human worshippers and, thus, become irrelevant.
