Who is Lucifer?

It is believed that he was an angel who assisted in banishing The N'Garai from Earth and later led a group of followers in a rebellion against God during the great war in Heaven. Following his defeat, Lucifer and his lieutenants Beelzeboul , Kazann , Malachi , Pazuzu , Xaphan and others were all cast down to Hell as punishment. During this time, he became the demon known as the Prince of Lies and the ruler of one of the many dimensions that have come to take on the name "Hell." In Hell, Lucifer looked nothing like the angel he once was. He and all of his Lieutenants had degenerated into demon's, some through instruction, others adapted more naturally. But they had all over time changed into twisted creatures of evil. Many of the other Hell-Lords have taken on the appearance or even claimed to be the true Devil to play off his reputation.
