Lucifer

For other uses of this name, see Lucifer (disambiguation).

In the Christian religion, Lucifer (also known as Lucifer Morningstar) was the first of God's creations- the first angel, and his favorite. After creating Heaven and the Earth, Lucifer's pride grew, and he became dissatisfied with following God. He wanted to bring about a new era with himself on Heaven's throne. Lucifer rebelled against God, with the support of many angels. However, Lucifer was overcome, and God banished him and his followers from Heaven.

Lucifer fell for a long time, until he landed in Hell, and made it his domain. Since conquering Hell, he not only rules over the fallen angels, but also the demons that were native to Hell. He is known by many names, including Satan, the Devil, the "Prince of Darkness", Beelzebub, and Mephistopheles.

After the birth of Jesus Christ, Lucifer offered him the world in exchange for his allegiance. However, Christ rejected him. Lucifer still yearns to return to Heaven and eventually take the throne he feels he is destined to sit on.
