## Physical Description

### In the Beginning...

Lucifer was one of seven archangels present for the invasion of the cosmic dimensional expanse known as the Void. He helped carve out a kingdom for the Presence, a being he once called "Father". Lucifer was arguably the most favored among the seven. Yet, when a foothold was established and named the Kingdom of Heaven, Lucifer wished to rest and did not care to continue the crusade. Lucifer asked the Presence to bestow him a fraction of Heaven to reign over. When the Presence declined, Lucifer rebelled. He was defeated by his brethren. Despite Lucifer's insurgency, the Presence could not strip the favored son of his grace. Instead, Lucifer was exiled and left to settle in an area rich with infernal essence. Lucifer learned to tame the infernal qualities of the area around him and named this place Hell.

Soon enough Lucifer was joined by his closest conspirators, who were punished much more harshly than their insurgency's leader. Stripped of their grace and original form, they were now beings known as demons. The demons were vindictive and eager to sow chaos. Lucifer realized this for what it was: opportunity. Using his cunning charisma, Lucifer rallied his followers and forged his own anchor to Earth, countering the Presence's efforts and enacting his own deals to lay claim to the souls of mankind.

Though most angels remained loyal to the Presence, even after the Fall, a small number of angels left Heaven to settle in Hell and swear fealty to Lucifer. Some of these angels were truly impressive, but Lucifer remained the only archangel in Hell. This meant the others lacked the power to tame the energies in the same way and slowly began to change. Proudly, they took on one of Lucifer's epithets as a name for their race, calling themselves the devils.

### Lucifer: Prehistory - 1983

Eventually, a ceasefire of sorts was declared between Heaven and Hell. News of this infuriated the demons who still sought revenge against the Presence for their punishment. Of course, Lucifer knew the demons would escape from Hell and unleash chaos in their wake; and if Lucifer made a token effort to contain them, he did not incur the wrath of Heaven. This was the way it worked for thousands of years.

But with this peace came stagnation... and boredom. Lucifer lost interest in his kingdom. He longed for something else and turned his eyes to Earth.

### Lucifer: 1983 - Present

Lucifer decided to abandon his claim to Hell. In an effort to appease the Lords of Hell, Lucifer had his wings severed and the feathers and tissue divided up among his lords, granting each of them incredible occult power.

Only one demon asked to join him in his exile: Mazikeen. Together, the two opened a nightclub in Los Angeles. But less than five years after its opening, an intrinsic explosion threatened to destroy his club. Lucifer exercised his power, preserving it inside a pocket dimension where it remains to this day. Now called the Oblivion Bar, it caters to those who can find it and agree to abide by its strict rules of neutrality.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) Though usually very composed, Lucifer is annoyed by Satanists (he claims worship isn't "his bag") and being accused of lying. While the Devil is often regarded as the greatest manipulator in the universe, he never lies. Lucifer may use hyperbole, but if he is speaking in earnest it is the truth. He is incredibly proud of this.
* (*Submitted by Gremlin*) Let's discuss Lucifer's aliases. Samael is his Creator given, pre-Fallen name. The devil, Adversary, and the Mocker was what the angels called him when he rebelled. Lightbringer was an early epithet given to him by his Creator. His favored name, Lucifer, is a portmanteau of the Latin words "lucem" and "ferre", meaning "light-bearer". It is also the name of the planet Venus, commonly known as the "morning star". Helel means "shining one" and was the inspiration for him naming his kingdom Hell. Atse'Hashke is one of the names of the trickster god Coyote from Native American mythology. Lucifer has noted that he is quite fond of Old Scratch and wishes people would use that one more often.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

#### General

* He considers Morpheus to be his best friend. Lucifer briefly gave Hell to Dream. It was Morpheus' idea to cut Lucifer's wings off.
* He believed he killed the archangel Raguel, but in 2016 he found out he was still alive. Killing Raguel gave him no pleasure, but he did it because he was a maniac.
* He knows how to play piano and has one in the Oblivion Bar.
* John Constantine and Felix Faust are his uneasy allies.
* He convinced Dream to give Elvira another chance and hire her as the hostess of Sinister House.
* Mazikeen claims Lucifer is bad at lying.
* Lucifer is capable of having his swears not registered as [expletive] in the VOX Boxes.
* He was accidentally summoned by Izzy Bowin when playing notes from the song *The Devil Went Down to Georgia*. He made a deal with her to release him in exchange for his violin made from souls and hellfire. They later made two more deals. Izzy now owes Lucifer a favor.
* When he met Ellie MacKay he felt a connection to her unborn child, due it being his father reborn.
* He knows Santa Claus and first met him during the time of the ancient Rome, when Boreas was calling himself Aquilo. He had Santa deliver a present for Elaine Belloc during a christmas dinner. Elaine doesn't believe Santa's real, so he decided to take her one day to the North Pole.

#### Beginning

* When his wings had formed, Erebus and Eden took their son to the Void. It was here that Eden planned to teach Her son to fly while Erebus stayed in the garden to work on His Creation. When Samael first spread his wings, the warmth and supernal power given off by the simple act caused a disruption in the Void which had never experienced the touch of uncontained supernal magic. The magic changed the Void and clouds of previously unorganized essence became supernal storms. From these storms, crystalized essence fell. After a brief period of incubation, beings that looked similar to Eden and Her son began to hatch from these supernal eggs.
* He created the sun and he really likes sunsets.
* He quickly realized Saraquael was lying when she said only beings born from biological origins had souls. He realized that with souls came free will and shared this information with his closest companions.
* The angel now known as Satan was an important figure in Heaven who regularly dined with the Presence. When the Presence would not feel up to such meetings with him He would send his oldest son in His place. Through these long discussions over meals and shared drinks, they became close friends and allies.
* Lucifer was inspiered by Raziel's wings to create the Rainbow. He quickly had her assigned to work in his estate and soon appealed to have her made Virtued so she might server as Samael's loyal assitant. Raziel was often seen at court telling Samael jokes built from her offbeat humor that no other angel seemed to find amusing, but always made Samael grin. Raziel also distinguished herself as one not willing to divulge secrets.
* Samael became so enamored with Raziel that he decided Heaven would be a better if Raziel were given a role in its leadership. At a conclave, Samael sponsored Raziel for consideration to be anointed and ordained for ascension to the ranks of a Principality. Despite heavy pushback from his brothers, Samael argued with such fervor that to contest him further would likely undermine future endeavors for Michael and Raphael. In a move that Samael had not expected, Raphael suddenly changed his position to support granting Raziel endowment but moved to transfer her service to the youngest archangel at the time, Saraquael. This was a move done to break up Samael's cult of personality.

#### Morningstar Rebellion

* When Samael began to make plans to form his own kingdom apart from Heaven and its Silver City, he approached Amenadiel with an offer of being his kingdom's architect. Samael reasoned that if he could show that Amenadiel supported his endeavor, the Presence would agree to sign off on Samael's plan. However, when presenting this plan to the Presence, Amenadiel had a change of heart when he recognized that the Presence did not seem inclined to grant Samael's request. When Samael called for Amenadiel to take his turn at speaking, Amenadiel apologized to Samael and told him that he believed the Presence was right: Samael's place was with his family and not on his own. For the perceived betrayal, Samael attacked Amenadiel but was kept from killing the Firstborn by the archangel Michael. Samael broke free, told everyone that they would regret this, and flew off. Samael then started the war in Heaven.
* Satan acted as his right hand during the rebellion.
* After the rebellion some angels were stripped of their names, but he retained it by a Divine Decree.

#### Pruflas

* After his fall he found a tower built by the demon Pruflas. He spotted him as the demon scrambled to hide, and the scared being pledged his house and his undying service to the angel if only his life would be spared. Lucifer wanted to buy the tower,but now he eagerly accepted the demon's unprompted vow of service. The tower became the Tower of Dis and Pruflas became Lucifer's first cupbearer.
* After years of service Pruflas became the Great Prince and Duke of Jinnestan.
* When Lucifer abandoned Hell, Pruflas was caught off-guard by the suddenness of it. It took him four years to make arrangements to keep Jinnestan functioning and self-sufficient. When it was ready, Pruflas rushed to Earth to offer his continued service to Lucifer, seeking out his friend at the posh piano bar in Los Angeles, Lux. Just as he arrived Pruflas saw Lucifer in the doorway and saw his friend's smile fall to a sober fear. Pruflas only saw a vague blue glow on the exterior of Lux and then it all went black. Though Lucifer was able to save the bar, it was too late for Pruflas.
* Pruflas reformed many years later. Weak and lacking a body, existing only as stray essence with limited sentience keeping it together, Pruflas floated about Earth only vaguely aware of his direction. Floating aimlessly, Pruflas drifted in and out, often blacking out for months at a time, until one day when he woke up to find his essence trapped inside a teen girl's toy.

#### Ruler of Hell

* As a King of Hell he has many vassals. Among them are: Aurinath, Blaze, Calythos, Neron, Nyorlath, Satanus, Uthool, and Vamina. Vylaela and the demon known as Spot used to be his vassals. Naamah and Eisheth used to be part of his harem.
* During the dawn of man he left Hell and to explore the primitive homo sapiens. The Thessalian was among one of many who initially interested him. The two had an intimate encounter and in exchange for her devotion to him, the Devil left the Thessalian with a boon of power — making her among the first of humanity's witches. The Thessalian, at the instruction of her infernal master, would go on to seek out six other members from the corners of the known world, leading to the founding of Earth's very first coven, presumptively named the Grand Coven.
* He offered Desert Rose "an ocean's worth of knowledge" for her soul. She accepted and became his witch. Later he threatened Yeshua with taking her soul, but Yeshuas's supernal power washed away his infernal influence.
* He offered Shamash his own province in Hell in exchange for his ring. Shamash declined.
* On one of his holidays he met the goddess Artemis, and had a child with her. When she grew up, Aradia chose to be with him. Aradia became a true Princess of Hell in no time. Though her father was not interested in gathering worship, Lucifer did not impede Aradia's work to establish a counter-cult on Earth that put forward worship of the devil and his daughter.
* When he and other Princes of Hell learned about Azazel's son they feared that Azazel might be plotting to overthrow them. So a scheme was hatched in which the half-demon child was taken away from his father and imprisoned in the depths of an icy realm of Hell, frozen in magical stasis, where his father could not sense him.
* Lladiz tried to confront him for killing their father, but Lucifer proved to be more disarmingly charismatic than Lladiz anticipated. Lucifer treated Lladiz as an honored guest of Hell and eventually had her reside with his daughter Aradia. The two became good friends and partners in crime.

#### Shalim

* He have a son. At his birth he was named Shalim which means "Evening Star". He was named this way because Lucifer Morningstar bought the dawn to Heaven and Shalim would bring about its fall. This name proved to be quite the issue for Shalim as he felt he was constant disappointment to his parents' high expectations.
* After attacking Heaven on his own Lucifer banished his son to Earth with a hefty debt of souls to buy his way back into Hell. Adrift on Earth with a chip on his shoulder, Shalim floated between pantheons and posed as a god, mistakenly thinking worship and souls were the same thing. When his father visited after a couple thousand years and pointed out this error, Shalim became further convinced his father hated him and would never allow him to return. After this, Shalim's contempt for his father grew. Shalim resolved to return to Hell only for the purpose of overthrowing his father. Over time, Shalim's legend shifted. By the time of the Roman Empire, Shalim was impersonating his father completely. This deception continued throughout the dark ages and all the way to when an Earthbound Lucifer decided to look into the rumor of this impostor.
* Shalim covered his tracks well, but Lucifer always suspected his son was responsible. It took thirty years, but Lucifer managed to find his wayward son. Lucifer had a bitter taste in his mouth as he sentenced his son — revoking the name and birthright given to him, and ordering his son to the dungeons of Hell.
* When Lucifer stripped his son of his name, the son of the Devil promptly asked what his name should be. Lucifer only replied that this was not his concern.

#### Coven of the Witching Hour

* The daughter of Vigo the Carpathian, Elsa Grimston learned enough through instinct and attempted to call upon her mother, the succubus Enêpsigos, to rescue her from Hell. However, by the time of this attempted summoning, Enêpsigos had become indentured to Lucifer Morningstar and thus her summons requests were brought to the Devil himself for approval. After hundreds of requests came in from Elsa over the course of several years, the Devil went down to Carpathia to investigate and found a beautiful young woman. Attracted to her physical appearance and mystical potential, Lucifer Morningstar seduced her into exchanging her soul for a portion of his power, becoming a very powerful witch in the service of the Morningstar, however She would eventual retire from being a witch.
* Kara Valentine is an infernal witch, born of a cradle contract — a deal made between her parents and Lucifer Morningstar. Before Kara was born, Tobias Valentin was an L.A. cop who was spiraling out of control after his parents were brutally murdered in what appeared to be the work of a devil-worshipping cult. While investigating the "occult" underworld of Los Angeles, Tobias met failed actress and cocktail waitress Helen at the Lux which claimed to cater to those involved in the dark arts. When Tobias told Helen about the manner his parents were murdered, Helen told him to speak to her boss lucifer. When he did, Tobias' interest in a devil-worshipping cult angered Lucifer and he agreed to help Tobias bring these 'phonies' to justice. Upon the conclusion of that sordid business, Tobias had to get out of Los Angeles. His new friend suggested that Tobias and his new lover, Helen, head to Texas — even buying them a house and making just one request: name their first child after him. He even settled for a middle name.
* After Hell on Earth in Star City Lucifer formed a new Coven called the Coven of the Witching Hour and gave them the task of destroying the Order of Ancient Mysteries.

#### After leaving Hell

* When he left Hell he gave his trident to Nebiros as dowry for his and Aradia's marriage. Aradia received his domain and castle. This slightly strained their relationship, but it has recovered.
* The Oblivion Bar used to have a permanent location in Los Angeles, California. Back then it was known as "Lux".
* The scar on his face was caused by Mazikeen. She slashed him and promised to be with him as long as he keeps the scar.
* He met Chloe Decker when she arrested him for speeding. The meeting might have been arranged as they were both Manu Dei - people influenced by the Presence to fullfill his request. It is later revealed that the purpose of this arranged meeting was to jumpstart Chloe's supernal endowment.

#### Oblivion Bar Staff

* After Mazikeen saved Boris and Alex he offered them a job at his bar and a place under his roof. Boris found himself immediately smitten and Alex didn't give much of a second thought about making a deal with the devil. He also endowed them with some magical protection, including the Mark of the Devil. They also became Lucifer and Mazikeens concubines.
* He met Jill Presto when she was being possessed by a Demon that he had previously imprisoned in a deck of tarot cards and wanted revenge. In the course of the ensuing fight, Lucifer tried to take the cards to return the Demon to their prison. However, this plan failed as the cards' enchantment could no longer contain that level of power and the demonic souls escaped once again and destroyed the cards in the process, making Jill their permanent host. Needing to buy himself some time, Lucifer helped Jill find the power within herself to break the demon's hold on her.
* With little time for formalities, Lucifer bluntly told Jill she had two options. The first was Lucifer could smite the demon but such would likely kill Jill in the process. The second was to engage in a ritual with Lucifer which would allow his power to enter into Jill, bind the demon, and contain it inside Jill's womb. When the ritual was completed, the demon's souls would combine with the magic and create a child — erasing the existing demonic identity in the process. Faced with those choices, Jill disrobed and partook in the ritual. In order to keep her under watch during her infernal pregnancy, Lucifer gave Jill a job at the Oblivion Bar. She eventual gave birth to her daughter Noema.
* More than once, people having heard some details concerning the circumstances of Noema's conception have presumed that Noema is Lucifer's daughter. Both Jill and Lucifer will be quick to correct that speculation. While Noema was created through an intimate ritual that involved sexual intercourse, the magic of that ritual reshaped the demon possessing Jill and it is that reshaped demon which impregnated Jill. In a sense, that demon is the father of Noema while *also* being Noema herself. Though, Lucifer does have a certain fondness for Noema, particularly as she gets older, and seems rather invested in her well-being.

#### Dissappearance Of The Presence

* His wings were accidently restored by Chuck Shurley, an act which could cause the war in Hell.

### Notes

* Lucifer leaving Hell and having his wings cut off is a reference to *Sandman: Season of Mists*, but Mazikeen doing that is a nod to the TV show *Lucifer*.
