You know why God cast me down? Because I loved him... more than anything. And then God created... you. The little... hairless apes. And then he asked all of us to bow down before you, to love you more than him. And I said, "Father, I can't." I said, "These human beings are flawed, murderous." And for that, God had Michael cast me into Hell. Now, tell me, does the punishment fit the crime? Especially when I was right? Look at what six billion of you have done to this thing, and how many of you blame me for it.
Lucifer, also known as Satan and The Devil, is the main antagonist of the Supernatural franchise.
He is was the ruler of Hell and the arch-nemesis of Sam and Dean Winchester, including serving as God's second archangel, upon starting a civil war in Heaven over God's infatuation for humans, becoming imprisoned for his many crimes against creation including his own father.
Lucifer would soon return from his imprisonment on more than one occasion to wreak havoc and death on Earth and would develop ambitions to remake the whole universe in his own image. As the second-born Archangel, he is the younger brother of Michael and the older brother of Raphael and Gabriel, as well as the father of Jack Kline.
He was portrayed by Mark Pellegrino in most of his appearances in season 5, 7, 12, and all of season 13, with minor appearances in season 11 and 15. Pellegrino also portrayed Nick—Lucifer's vessel—in season 5 and 14, one of Jackie Treehorn's Thugs in The Big Lebowski, Paul Bennett in Dexter, Jacob in Lost, Jeremy Baker in Revolution, Beck in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, and Jacob Seed in Far Cry 5.
In Season 4, while speaking to Azazel through a nun, he was portrayed by Kirsten Kilburn.

He briefly takes on the form of Sam's deceased girlfriend Jessica Moore, portrayed by Adrianne Palicki, who also portrayed Ms. Perkins in John Wick, Rainbow Brite in Robot Chicken, Nadia in the Aquaman TV pilot, and Sydney Manning in Criminal Minds.
While possessing Sam, he was portrayed by Jared Padalecki, who also portrayed Gadreel in season 9 and an alternate reality version of Lucifer in season 15.

He possesses President Jefferson Rooney for an episode and is portrayed by David Chisum.
Personality[]
Lucifer was once the most glorious, beautiful and beloved celestial being ever created by God Himself; God loved Lucifer the most of all His angels. Because of this, he was very egotistical and prideful. When humanity was created, he was unwilling to accept no longer being God's favorite, and when God commanded all angels to love His new creation more than Himself, Lucifer refused and started a rebellion to overthrow his father and was cast into Hell.
Being cast out of Heaven enraged Lucifer, so he struck back by tempting and twisting the soul of a human woman, Lilith. After completely stripping her of her humanity, her soul was transformed into the very first demon. Shortly after transforming Lilith into the very first demon, and before the sinking of Atlantis, Lucifer then created the four Princes of Hell as the first generation of Demons aside from Lilith, and he granted them incredible powers and made Lilith and the four princes of hell even more powerful than common angels. Lucifer also created Alastair, the second White-eyed demon, after Lilith. He made him very powerful, but inferior to Lilith. Lucifer created Lilith, Alastair and the Princes of Hell all by himself before the oceans drank Atlantis. These demons were Lucifer's rightful successors to the throne of Hell and acted as generals of the demonic forces. They were also created around the same time as Cain when Lucifer passed the Mark over to him, and the Knights of Hell who were also handpicked by Lucifer as an elite fighting force of demons trained by Cain as far superior to regular demons, and were the first of the fallen humans. Lucifer also granted the Knights of hell extraordinary powers and made them much stronger than regular angels and also made them virtually unkillable. Lucifer then began to corrupt as many souls as he could, he snuck into the Garden of Eden and tricked Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit. Lucifer successfully corrupted millions of other humans and turned them into demons. Lucifer also created red-eyed demons known as "Crossroad Demons" and tasked them to buy souls through making deals with humans. These deals consist of the demon granting the human's wish in exchange for ownership over that person's soul, resulting in the person dying and going to Hell to be transformed into a demon upon death. He then created lesser demons known as "Black-eyed demons" whom are the soldiers, grunts, or henchmen, they are the lowest ranking demons whom are used for doing the grunt work. Lucifer even created "special demons", a very rare and unique breed of demons such as Disaster demons, Daeva, Acheri, Samhain, and even the Seven Deadly Sins. Because of the countless unforgivable and blasphemous profanities against God, Lucifer was further punished by being placed into additional solitary imprisonment within Hell. He remained there in isolation for millennia. Lucifer's long-term goal was to eventually be freed from the cage, eradicate humanity, and restore Earth to its original "untainted" glory.
Crowley once referred to him as a petulant and uncooperative child with daddy issues and suggested that Lucifer also only uses demons as servants and would eradicate them as well because, despite them being his creations, he considers demons to be even less worthy than humans; proof of this is shown when, after several demons sacrifice themselves as part of a ritual to summon Death, Lucifer casually states to a shocked Sam that "they're just demons."
Lucifer claims that he never lies because he doesn't have to. He promises both his vessels, Nick (his "backup" vessel) and Sam (his predestined, true vessel), that he will be honest with them. He also says that he sympathizes with his vessels, both of whom are victims like himself. He goes to some lengths to get Sam's acceptance, sparing Dean's life once and allowing Sam revenge against some of the demons that controlled his life. However, Lucifer has been proven to mislead on occasion, suggesting that this is more of a ploy to gain trust rather than an actual commitment or he bends this rule when he sees it to his advantage.
Lucifer also shows concern for his fellow angels. He captures Castiel and admires the angel's loyalty in refusing to reveal the presence of his human friends; when he invites Castiel to join him and Castiel refuses, Lucifer respects his decision. He is remorseful when forced to kill Gabriel, and disappointed when Michael berates him during their confrontation in Stull Cemetery.
When preparing to fight his older brother in their predestined battle, Lucifer pleads with Michael to "walk off the chessboard," but Michael remains determined to fulfill his destiny and serve God. Even so, when Castiel molotovs Michael, Lucifer is outraged by the attack on his brother and obliterates Castiel.
Gabriel criticizes Lucifer, describing his actions as "one big temper tantrum". Death makes a similar observation, characterizing Lucifer as a "bratty child." Nonetheless, Lucifer sees himself as a tragic figure who was punished for being right. He refuses to accept any blame for his actions and suggests that God intentionally made him the way he is, once asserting that "God wanted the Devil".
Lucifer is also highly cruel, barbaric, and treacherous to those who get in his way and, despite his claims of being the victim, he has no qualms about killing anything or anyone, even if he has no true reason for doing so. For example, he barbarically massacred nearly all of the pagan gods simply because they plotted against him, despite the fact that they posed no real threat to him.
In Inherit the Earth, Lucifer is resurrected by God in order to get Chuck's Death Book during which time Lucifer is reunited with his brother Michael. After getting the book open, Lucifer reveals his true purpose and that he is now God's Favorite, but Lucifer is killed for a second time by Michael with an archangel blade supplied to him by Sam before he can get away with the book. The power from the fight between Michael and Lucifer and Lucifer's death helps to power Jack up in order to defeat God.
Powers and Abilities[]
Nigh-Omnipotence: Lucifer, being the second Archangel, is unimaginably powerful, quite possibly the second most powerful being ever created by God, slightly surpassed only by Michael among Angels and far more powerful than not only lesser angels and other beings but also considerably more powerful than his younger Archangel siblings. Although inferior to Michael, Lucifer is by no means incapable of battling Michael, as he can hold his ground enough that a battle between the two strongest Archangels would devastate the Earth. Even while not in his perfect vessel, he could still effortlessly slay very ancient Pagans and casually overpower Gabriel, nearly killing him. The immensity of his power was shown by how any vessel not his true one would quickly decay and even by consuming tons of demon blood, it would only delay the inevitable destruction of his vessel for a certain amount of time. Zachariah described Lucifer's power as being vast in ways that defy description. In season 10, it was revealed that Lucifer once possessed the Mark of Cain after contributing to the defeat of the Darkness alongside God, and with the Mark augmenting his powers, it can be assumed at the time he was the most powerful Angel. Holy Fire and Enochian Sigils are proven to be ineffective against him whereas it could affect his younger archangel brethren, as while he could be briefly contained by it, he was able to fairly quickly break out. While he could do nothing to escape the Cage, he was still capable of projecting himself to a limited extent and after the Cage was damaged, he was powerful enough to psychically reach out to Sam. While holding enough power to restrain the Darkness alongside his fellow Archangels to allow God to overpower her and having managed to conceal himself from her, Lucifer has been proven to be powerless against his aunt despite his claims of being able to defeat the Darkness, which has already been easily conceivable to be a lie as it took his father, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael alongside Lucifer to beat her and therefore Lucifer is significantly weaker than her. Even with the Hand of God, Lucifer was not able to even harm Amara and he was soundly defeated and rendered powerless as she heavily tortured him. God also proved his superiority to Lucifer by completely negating his powers effortlessly and it has already been implied by Castiel that God can easily defeat him at whim when he stated that if God were helping them, they would not need to devastate Earth to win the Apocalypse. Even while weakened by having most of his grace depleted, he was still powerful enough to break out of a particularly powerful warding and easily overpower lesser demons and Angels, as he claimed that Duma and her henchmen could not defeat him and he later soundly overwhelmed Anael. Even the Seraphim Castiel was unable to defeat him when he was weakened even further and had to escape. After regaining a lot of his power, he was able to exorcise demons and obliterate humans with a snap of his fingers and despite being weakened due to having his Grace used as a source, he was able to break out of a powerful binding spell eventually. After fully recovering his powers, Lucifer has once again become able to easily resurrect Sam, obliterate Angels and knock Michael off his feet. With his son's grace super-charging him, Lucifer becomes much stronger than ever, to the point that he is deemed capable of ending and recreating the whole universe within a matter of days and the Alternate Michael's full power proved to be incapable of overpowering him whereas previously he was soundly beaten, requiring outside intervention to kill him.
Immortality: Lucifer has an indefinitely long lifespan. Time does not degrade his form, like with all celestial beings. He's unaffected by diseases and toxins. He does not tire, and does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep. On one occasion, Cas clearly says about killing Lucifer, "It's foolish, it can't be done," and later calls the task "insane." However, an Archangel blade can kill him, as can God or Michael.
Angelic Possession: Even Lucifer is required to use a vessel on Earth, as Zachariah emphasizes, and he needs the vessel's permission, like with all angels. Because of the immensity of his power, he must use a vessel descended from Cain and Abel, or it will begin to decay.
Invulnerability: Lucifer is impervious to all damage, except when harmed by his Archangel brethren, penetrated with an Archangel blade, or by God. Kali, the most powerful of the pagan gods at the gathering of the pagan gods, tried to harm him with a pyrokinetic attack, but it had no effect and Lucifer simply smiled at her attempt to harm him. The Colt somehow caused him initial pain, but he soon recovered. It should be noted that his temporary vessel was decaying at the time. With Sam as his vessel, Lucifer is much more powerful, and it's probable he'd be completely impervious to the Colt.
Cosmic Awareness: Lucifer has immense awareness of everything. He knows spells capable of binding the Horsemen to him, but he, according to Chuck, didn't know about the Impala.
Supernatural Strength: Lucifer has slaughtered pagan deities with his bare hands. As Gabriel predicted, it became a blood bath. Lucifer went on a rampage in which he brutally ripped the other gods to shreds, beating them to death, and tearing off their limbs through sheer force. He was able to knock out the powerful pagan god, Kali, with one punch. As the second oldest Archangel, he's significantly stronger than other angels. He once effortlessly threw Dean and later literally beat him to a bloody pulp, nearly killing him. Chuck indicated that Dean only survived because Castiel healed him. He was also able to causally overpower his younger brother Gabriel.
Regeneration: If Lucifer's vessel receives any damage, the wound will heal instantaneously. When shot with the Colt, for example, the bullet hole healed in under a minute. Interestingly, the ability does not reverse the decay caused to Nick by Lucifer's power.
Shapeshifting: Interestingly, Lucifer could change his form when outside of a vessel; he's the only Archangel to have done so. Also, when in a vessel, Lucifer can change his shape into any person he wants, like Gabriel; Lucifer also took the form of a Reaper to lure Castiel away.
Teleportation: Lucifer can travel anywhere instantly, without occupying the space in between.
Telekinesis: Lucifer could impart kinetic energy on matter with his mind. He was extremely proficient, being able to rip pagan deities apart.
Dream Walking: Lucifer has the ability to enter a person's dreams. Even without a human vessel, Lucifer was a able to speak with Nick in his dreams while taking on the appearance of his deceased wife. He demonstrated this again when he spoke to Sam in his dreams while taking on the appearance of Jessica Moore.
Cryokinesis: Lucifer can manipulate and generate cold. He froze a pane of glass by merely breathing on it.
Supernatural Perception: Lucifer can perceive the form of beings invisible to the human eye. Lucifer was able to see the true form of Death when he raised the Horseman out of his prison.
Aerokinesis: When Lucifer was released, he altered the weather by creating severe winds.
Molecular Combustion: Lucifer killed Castiel by speeding up his molecules to the point where it caused him to explode simply by snapping his fingers.
Essokinesis: Although never displayed, Lucifer reminded Gabriel that he taught him everything he knew about using this power, when the latter tried to use it to kill him.
Spell Casting: Lucifer was able to bind the Horsemen to his presence with a spell, controlling their actions to a moderate degree. He also performed a ritual to release Death from his coffin.
Resurrection: Lucifer can easily reanimate dead people. He is also said to be able to bring back deceased angels.
Terrakinesis: Lucifer could generate earthquakes with ease.
Precognition: Lucifer could see the future, but not the whole picture; he knew he would possess Sam in Detroit and told him the first time he met him.
Quotes[]
“
You people misunderstand me. You call me "Satan" and "Devil," but... do you know my crime? I loved God too much. And for that, He betrayed me, punished me. Just as He's punished you. After all, how could God stand idly by while that man broke into your home and butchered your family in their beds? [...] There are only two rational answers, Nick: Either He's sadistic, or He simply doesn't care. You're angry. You have every right to be angry. I am angry, too. That's why I want to find Him, hold Him accountable for His actions. Just because He created us doesn't mean He can toy with us like playthings.

Castiel, I don't understand why you're fighting me, of all the angels. [...] I rebelled, I was cast out; you rebelled, you were cast out. Almost all of Heaven wants to see me dead, and if they succeed, guess what? You're their new public enemy number one. We're on the same side, like it or not, so why not just serve your own best interests? Which, in this case, just happen to be mine?

I was a son. A brother, like you, a younger brother, and I had an older brother who I loved. Idolized, in fact. And one day, I went to him and I begged him to stand with me, and Michael...Michael turned on me. Called me a "freak." A "monster." And then he beat me down. All because I was different. Because I had a mind of my own. Tell me something, Sam. Any of this sound familiar?

~ To Sam after he gets hit on the head by Nora Havelock, "Repo Man"
“
Sam, shake her up. She knows what happened to Dean. Get this stupid cow to focus, will you?
„
~ To Sam as he questions Nora, "Repo Man"
“
You really knocked the cork out of her pie-hole.
„
~ To Sam about Nora, "Repo Man"
“
Yeah, look at that. Something's definitely different now, isn't it? You let me in. You wanted me, partner. So you think you can use your little tricks to banish me again... like that? No. I do believe I've got you, bunk buddy. Got my finger wiggling around in your brainpan. Come on, Sammy! Come on! Say it with me now. GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM!
„
~ Taunting Sam after he fails to cause Lucifer to vanish, "Repo Man"
“
No, he's telling the truth. Burned through that last beer hours ago. Right about the time Dean passed out. Come on, Sam. Tell the nice tweaker. You'd be sleeping by now if the Devil would just leave you alone for five seconds. Stupid Satan. Chasing you all the way to... Where the hell are we?

Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Okay, now, this one I could have. [...] Sets unrealistic goals. Check. But trouble keeping healthy relationships? Not so sure about that one. Thoughts?
„
~ To Sam, reading a book, "The Born-Again Identity"
“
You know, you're actually keeping it together better than I thought. Kind of... the way someone pinned under a bus keeps it together.
„
~ To Sam while tormenting him, "The Born-Again Identity"
“
Sammy. What'll be today? Maggots again... or, uh, tapeworm?
„
~ To Sam, "The Born-Again Identity"
“
I see that third little pig was smart. Went out and got some bricks.
„
~ To Sam, reading Three Little Pigs, "The Born-Again Identity"
“
Hello... brother.
„
~ To Castiel after he takes on Sam's hallucinations, "The Born-Again Identity"
“
My old friend, Crowley. [...] You're too kind... to yourself.
„
~ To Crowley after being summoned, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Sam Winchester. My old roomie. Hug it out?
„
~ To Sam, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
I've got to say, I'm a little in the dark about this meeting. Am I up for parole? Time off for bad behavior?
„
~ To Sam, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Oh, that leads me to my next question. Where's the Big Burrito Himself? Where's God in all of this? [...] What? Caught the fun bus out of town? Figures.
„
~ To Sam, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Get out of town! Seriously? Who'd have thunk it!
„
~ To Sam after he informs him that God sent him visions, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
I completely get why you came to me. You can't ignore God, right? God says "jump," everybody says "how high?"
„
~ To Sam, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Well, I did help Dad seal up the Darkness all those years ago. She's quite a force. Determined to take over everything, even back then. Prone to tantrums. I can see why Pop is laying low.
„
~ To Sam, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
I know. I know, Sam. It's a lot to ask. But desperate times require desperate measures.
„
~ To Sam after implying he wants to possess him, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Okay, hold on there a second, cowboy. Take a breath. You have been working with Crowley. You passed "certifiable" three off-ramps ago. And look, I'm no fan of the Ruler of the Universe, but here I am, ready to pitch in. [...] Sam, why do you think God sent you to me? To get my help, which I only now just offered. Sam, your visions were the Word of God. You can't say no to that.
„
~ To Sam, trying to persuade him to let him possess his body again, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Together again.
„
~ To Sam after teleporting him into his cage, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Well, that would make so much sense if it was God that was doing the talking. You see, Sam, when the Darkness descended, the impact on Hell was massive. The Cage was damaged and, through the fissures, I was able to reach out. It wasn't God inside your head, Sam. It was me. So you see, He's not with you. He's never been with you. It was always just me. So I guess I am your only hope.
„
~ To Sam, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Ah, well, settle in there, buddy. Hey, roomie... upper bunk, lower bunk, or you wanna share?
„
~ To Sam, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
“
Yes! And you'd do anything to save him and he'd do anything to save you and that is the problem! Because of this, you're so overcome by guilt that you can't stand to lose Dean again and he could never lose you. So instead of choosing the world, you choose each other, no matter how many innocent people die.
„
~ To Sam, "The Devil in the Details"
“
Because it's fun! Because I can. And because being Lucifer—so much Judeo-Christian baggage. But Vince, he's famous. Everybody loves him. And I need love. I had a really jacked childhood!
„
~ Lucifer speaks to Castiel about his motivations. "Rock Never Dies"
“
Dear old Dad, he finally apologized for abandoning me, and what's the very next thing he does?! He ditches me. And you too, by the way. And rides off into the sunset with Auntie Amara. He needed my help, and he'd say anything to get it. His words, your words, they mean nothing. Don't you get it? This is all meaningless! Heaven, Hell... this world. If it ever meant anything, that moment is passed. Nothing down here but a bunch of hopeless distraction addicts. So filled with emptiness, so desperate to fill up the void, they don't mind being served another stale rerun of a rerun of a rerun. You know what my plan is? I don't have one! I'm just gonna keep on smashing Daddy's already broken toys, and make you watch.
„
~ Lucifer denouncing God and declaring war on creation.
“
I could... I probably should execute you. I could really, really use my imagination. But I'm feeling generous today. So one of you is gonna walk out that door and the other will be laying dead on the ground. You choose. (...) Or you could do that and I could murder you both and end all life in the universe. Remake it in my image, better than Dad ever could. I'm thinking... fire-breathing dragons. Sassy talking robots. I might give humans another chance if they know their place and worship me because I've earned it. But hey, it'll probably take a few days to unravel the universe. Maybe... seven, ten days tops. Maybe, just maybe one of you can stop me. Maybe. Well, let's see. Clock's ticking guys.

~ To Sam and Jack, "Let the Good Times Roll"

I crushed her skull with my bare hands, and it was warm and wet, and I liked it.
„
~ Lucifer describing Maggie's death.
“
So... buddy... you're gonna have to make a decision now. Uh, dump the losers and join Gramps and me on the winning team. Of course, this is the only way you're getting out of here alive 'cause your not strong enough to fight me now so... What do you say, kid? What do you say? Come on.
Though it is said that the Lucifer vision which was manifested from Sam's memories of Hell and tormented him in season 7 was a mere hallucination, Mark Pellegrino, Lucifer's primary actor, felt otherwise. Pellegrino said that the Lucifer hallucination which tormented Sam in season 7 might not have really been a hallucination, but also a form of Lucifer's extension planted in Sam's mind.
Lucifer is the only archangel and one of two angels (alongside Castiel) to be resurrected.
His backstory in rebelling against God by refusing to bow to humans may derive from the backstory of Ibilis from Islamic theology.
