SATAN
LORD OF HELL
AGE: OLDER THAN ANYONE CAN COMPREHEND
PLACE OF BIRTH: HEAVEN
CURRENT LOCATION: HELL
DISTINCTIVE FEATURES: MONOSYLABIC SPEECH PATTERN, WELL DRESSED, SMARTER THAN HE LETS ON
In the unfathomable reaches of the cosmos, there once existed a being of splendour named Lucifer. This celestial hotshot was the crème de la crème of the angelic hierarchy, a real golden child in the heavenly realms. With radiance that could put a supernova to shame and a mind sharper than a razor blade’s edge, he was, without a doubt, the universe's poster boy for perfection.
However, old Lucy-boy couldn't handle his own divine stardom. His ego, inflated like a helium balloon at a birthday party, began drifting into dangerous territory. He started questioning the holy pecking order, secretly yearning for the top spot – God's big chair. "Why not me?" he pondered, convinced he could run the whole show better than the Almighty Himself.
This gargantuan ego trip reached its climax when Lucifer decided to stage the mother of all rebellions. He gathered a motley crew of angels and ignited a brawl. The result? Defeat. Heaven had a higher power level, and it showed.
Lucifer was cast out, his angelic beauty ripped from him like a dollar bill from a magician's sleeve. He was no longer the poster boy but the poster child for rebellion gone wrong, a fallen angel named Satan.
Satan's new hangout? A fiery pit far, far away from heavenly real estate. He decided to make the best of his situation and built himself a little place called Hell. A kingdom of chaos and torment, all strategically organized like a supernatural corporate headquarters. Satan wore a suit to give the impression of sophistication and his monosyllabic speech pattern was a façade designed to underestimate his true intellect.
By 1991, Satan's Hell was a twisted reflection of the world above, complete with a hellish bureaucracy to make Kafka's head spin. He ruled his infernal domain with the icy detachment of a cutthroat CEO running a diabolical conglomerate.
But beneath that cold exterior, Satan wrestled with the ghosts of his angelic past. Memories of his glory haunted him.
And so, we find Satan – the fallen angel turned corporate lord of Hell – navigating the universe of 1991 with all the absurdity, complexity, and existential angst you'd expect from a character caught in an unholy tragedy of his own making.
