Lucifer

— Lucifer to Ablon

**Lucifer**, the **Morning Star** also known as the **Dark Archangel** and, after his fall, the **Devil**, is one of the five archangels created by Yahweh before the birth of the Universe, to assist him in the Primeval Battles against Tehom and her Monster Gods.

After the Splendent fell asleep at the dawn of the Seventh Day, Lucifer came to rule the Universe alongside Michael and the other archangels. Due to its rivalry with Metatron, the First Angel, the Morning Star began to attack humanity, as it was its rival's weak point. He convinced the other brothers that humans were evil and deserved to be extinct, ushering in an era of catastrophe and persecution against humanity.

Following the Revolt of Sodom, Lucifer started his own revolution, with the intuition to defeat Michael and become greater than Yahweh. However, the Dark Archangel was defeated by his brother, being sent to Sheol along with a third of heaven who decided to follow him. Since then, he has ruled Hell with an iron fist, punishing wicked human souls and awaiting the Apocalypse.

## Appearence

Lucifer is described as one of the most beautiful angels in the Seven Heavens, with fair skin, blond hair in a braid and radiant blue eyes. When he was still in Heaven, he had beautiful white downy wings and wore a long robe, rarely wearing his armor.

After being banished to Hell, Lucifer didn't change his appearance much, except for his wings, which turned black like those of bats.

In addition to his standard appearance, the Dark Archangel can take many forms, from a demonic beast to a human woman.

## Personality

Since he was in the Seven Heavens, Lucifer had a perverse nature. He initiated the massacres against humanity simply out of a rivalry with Metatron, killing millions upon millions in catastrophes and hunting simply to see his enemy desolate. Even after imprisoning the First Angel, the Morning Star continued its genocidal campaigns, as it considered humans unworthy of Yahweh's love.

The Dark Archangel was also known to be manipulative, named the Father of Lies in Hell and Earth. It was he who convinced Michael, and the other archangels except Raphael, that humanity was evil and deserved extinction.

## Powers & Skills

* **Nigh-Omnipotence:** Lucifer, even after his fall, was still an archangel, created even before the Universe, time and matter. Because of this, he is one of the most powerful beings in the entire cosmos, second only to Michael and Yahweh. Along with his father and brothers, he defeated Tehom and her Monster Gods, helped create the Universe and rule the angels. After he was banished to Sheol, the Dark Archangel became omnipotent in his domain, standing above any demon in Hell.
	+ **Omniscience** (in Sheol): While in Sheol, Lucifer has full knowledge of what goes on in the nine circles of Hell, what his subjects are doing, and who enters his domain through other means, such as when Ablon visited Sheol to duel the Dark Archangel. Despite this, the Morningstar did not discover that Orion, one of his Dukes of Hell, had helped the renegade escape from Zandrak's dungeons.
	+ **Reality Warping:** Just as Raphael was able to create a domain of his own in the Deep Ethereal, when Lucifer fell to Sheol, he was able to "ascend the spark" of the dimension and completely reshape it at will.
* **Transmutation:** Perhaps his best-known skill. Lucifer can take whatever form he wants, such as when he turned into a demonic beast in the fight against Ablon or when he took the form of Shamira to trick the renegade and mortally wound him.

### Weapons

* **Ray of Dawn:** His sword was given to him by Yahweh during the Primeval Battles, a gift he keeps to this day but rarely uses.

## Relationships

### Yahweh

Lucifer, like his brothers, loved his Father more than anything in the world. However, when the Creator decided to give the soul to humanity and ordered the angels to bow before a "apes", the Morning Star revolted. Deep down, the Dark Archangel wanted to take Yahweh's place and become the new God after the conclusion of the Apocalypse.

### Michael

In the beginning, Lucifer and Michael were very close, created before the Universe and fighting together in Primeval Battles. After Yahweh fell asleep and humanity was created, the Dark Archangel began to manipulate Michael, telling him that humans were corrupt and did not deserve the soul they were given. Because of this, the Prince of Angels initiated numerous massacres in Haled.

Despite appearing to be on Michael's side, Lucifer had his own plans to become God and rule Creation alone. As such, he revolted against Michael and dragged a third of the Seven Heavens into battle, but was eventually defeated and banished to Sheol.

### Samael

Samael is one of Lucifer's most loyal servants. Ever since he was an angel, he had loyally served the Dark Archangel, obeying his every order. When the Morning Star began his rebellion, he followed him and was banished along with his master to Sheol. For a long time, Samael was Archduke of Hell, but when the trinity was extinguished, he returned to the position of the Devil's personal servant.

### Apollyon

Since they were in the Seven Heavens, Apollyon was linked to the Dark Archangel, being its greatest champion. When the Morning Star began to plan his revolution, the Destroyer already knew his true intentions, to kill Michael and become God, so he joined Lucifer. When they were banished, Apollyon continued to side with the Devil, performing many unholy tasks for his master.

### Lilith

After leaving the Garden, Lilith walked the world until she met Lucifer, who at the time was still in the Seven Heavens, and the two soon connected. After the Dark Archangel was banished to Sheol, he took Lilith along with him, turning her into a demon and promoting her to the leader of the Incubus and Succubus order.

In Hell, Lilith and Lucifer fornicated several times, but the woman didn't feel love, only desire. After talking to Ablon, she understood about true love and resolved to help the angel escape, betraying the Morning Star.

## Victims

* Monster-Gods (in the Primeval Battles)
* Countless humans (indirectly; encouraged the cataclysms and genocides)
* Raphael (ordered Apollyon to kill him; resuscitated)
* Lilith (ordered Apollyon to kill her)
* Balor (ordered Apollyon to kill him)
* Ablon (throat slashed; resuscitated by magic)

## Trivia

* Lucifer (from the Latin lux fero, "light-bearer") is a term of Latin origin for the planet Venus that appears in the Vulgate translations of St. Jerome's Bible. In Christianity, the name became associated with Satan due to the interpretation of a prophecy from the book of Isaiah.
* Although in the Spohr book series and many works in pop culture he is an archangel, in Christian circles he is interpreted as a Cherub, based on the quotation from Ezekiel 28:14-16.
