Lucifer is originally the first archangel of Heaven who later rebelled against the Throne, ultimately causing the Fall and the creation of Hell. He is seen to have the first romantic relationship in Heaven with the third archangel Lucinda, and is said to have created the concept of love out of mere adoration. During their relationship, he grows more envious of Lucinda's adoration of the Throne, and tells Lucinda that if she truly loved him, Lucifer would be enough. He claims that his rebellion had been inspired by this relationship.
Lucifer is an outspoken advocate for free will and self-determination.
"Now you are all free to choose. I offer you equality, an existence without an authority's arbitrary rankings." (Rapture, p. 269)
Lucifer, appearing as Bill
Appearance[]
His true self has a shimmery skin, sharp face, wavy, auburn hair, and ice blue eyes. Lucinda describes him as "even more beautiful than Daniel" (Rapture, p. 281). In post-Fall times, he often changes his appearance, usually with the intent of disguising himself. Demons are able to identify him by the searing heat that emanates from his soul, and can sense his presence even when he is physically hidden. Angels, on the other hand, don't seem to be able to detect him this way.

He is described as tall, dark-haired, with classic handsome looks, wearing a gold watch and a tailored black business suit. Lucinda notices Cam and his 'father' standing under a tree, talking quietly, and gesturing in a very involved manner. When they notice Lucinda, Cam turns to his companion who seems amused.

Torment[]
Lucifer does not make a direct appearance in Torment, though his name is mentioned on several occasions. Arriane tells Luce, Miles, and Shelby the story of the Fall, describing Lucifer's early relationship with God as "super-tight". God called Lucifer his morning star. He was loved and appreciated, with no reason to rebel, according to Arriane.
Passion[]
Lucifer, appearing as Bill
In Passion, Lucifer appears as Bill, a guide to Luce who helps her travel through the Announcers to different lifetime. Throughout the travelling Lucifer tells Lucinda in a way of freeing herself and Daniel from the misery and heartache, to cut herself with a starshot but once in Egypt, seeing that Daniel loved her truly and not because of a curse she refused to kill herself. Instead, she asked why he asked her to and Lucifer reveals himself as the "bad guy" where he tells her that he wants to get all the fallen angels into a Announcer and take them to the future where Lucinda will be his again and not Daniel's as their love would not have grower larger as it has over seven thousand years. He later disappears telling Lucinda that he will have his revenge and his love.
Rapture[]
It is revealed during Rapture that he and Lucinda were in love with each other. But Lucinda decided that she loved Daniel, and so Lucifer cursed her.
