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.

Lucifer Morningstar is a insurgent archangel who was once given Hell as his own world. After several thousand years he decided he no longer wanted to do what he believed was expected of him, and so he abandoned Hell and “ retired ” to Earth.
history
origin
Eons ago, Lucifer Morningstar rebelled against the Kingdom of Heaven, and was cast into a shapeless nothingness known as the Chaoplasm. The Chaoplasm was transformed into a depopulate and barren expanse known by many as Hell, the final address for cursed souls. here Morningstar ruled, awaiting the day he could be freed. match was forced to contribution his baron after the Great Darkness ‘s return. A Triumverate was formed, but Lucifer retained the majority of world power .
Leaving Hell
At one point, Dream of the Endless entered Hell searching for the Helm that had been stolen from him when he was imprisoned. After dream recovered his helm and slighted him, Morningstar threatened to destroy Dream. Lucifer finally abandoned his lordship over Hell. Lucifer had ruled as godhead of Hell for ten billion years. Over that time, he had manipulated the versatile demons of Hell against each other, provided a place for dead mortals to be tormented, and led the war against Heaven. however, at some bespeak during his rule, he had become bored with this universe. He became bore of the respective stereotypes that mortals held of the hellion, such as the estimate that he purchased and traded for souls, which were largely false. He besides resented the presumption that he caused the evils that humans did- he did not, in fact, have anything to do with the actions of the mortals who ended up there, he simply punished them. He had become tired of his reign over Hell, and felt it an unfair punishment that he should have to rule there everlastingly merely because he once rebelled. These feelings were catalyzed when he was visited by Dream. Lucifer expelled all demons and damned souls from Hell before locking Hell ‘s gates and handing over the keystone to Hell to Dream of the Endless.

Life in Earth
finally, control of Hell was handed over to two Angels, Duma ( the angel of silence ) and Remiel ( “ who stumbled rather than fell ” ), while Lucifer merely retired to Earth, specifically to Perth, Western Australia ]. now running a piano bar called “ Lux “ in Los Angeles with the aid of his Lilim female run, Mazikeen, Lucifer is portrayed as sophisticated and about charm, exchangeable to the stereotyped Christian monster. Beneath his charisma, however, Lucifer is a deadly and machiavellian character, with no see for human life sentence or indeed any life other than those he can use to his advantage : a gallant and despiteful fallen angel who has no scruple using powers second only to those of his forefather, Yahweh. In fact, Lucifer is described as having been the wisest, most beautiful and most potent of all the angels in heaven, and he retains these traits flush after his fall. Despite his conceited and egotistic tendencies, he does follow something akin to a code of honor- there are few beings in the universe he respects ( his brother Michael and the Angel Duma among them ) and only two he could be argued to care about ( Mazikeen, his consort, and his niece Elaine ), though his actions on their behalf are about always for his own benefit, and it is doubted by all that he would help them differently. He besides refuses decidedly to lie ( which he considers crass and undignified ), insists on paying back debts, and keeps his word- though this must not be confused with virtue. Lucifer ‘s “ restful ” retirement was disturbed by a series of associates from his past, and after diverse catalytic events, he endeavored to create a universe in competition with that of ( and presumably against the wishes of ) his father, Yahweh. This puts him on a collision course with respective herculean mystic entities that have a vest interest in the new initiation and draws the angelic horde into the rub – including his brother, the garden angelica Michael Demiurgos and his niece Elaine.
