Lucifer, also known as The Devil, Satan, the Desolate One , the Evil One, Lord of Lies, Prince of Darkness, the Fallen Angel, and many other names, is regarded by Christianity and various religious groups as the supreme overlord of the hierarchy of Hell.

Origins[]

Legend holds that the entity known as Satan was once an angel of God known as Lucifer("Light-Bringer"). Though he was first among his angelic brethren, Lucifer's Creator eventually created Man in His own image and commanded that the angels bow before His new creations. Full of pride and defiance, Lucifer refused and led a rebellion against God, seeking to claim divinity for himself. The renegade angels were soundly defeated, and Lucifer was cast out of Heaven by his brother Michael.


Condemned to Hell, Lucifer and his minions set about sowing seeds of sin and corruption amongst mankind. This led to him being referred to as Ha-Satan (Hebrew for "the accuser/adversary") or simply "Satan". Though he knew he was helpless to overthrow his Creator or stop the coming of His son, Satan was able to send his own emissary into the world, wreaking havoc and poisoning God's creation as best he could.

The Omen[]

It was indicated by Damien Thorn in The Final Conflict that the accidents and other events that caused the deaths of those who discovered his identity as the Antichrist (and therefore threatened his life, the secrecy of his identity, and/or his rise to power) were influenced by Lucifer, Damien's father.

Damien - Omen II[]

Some fans believed[citation needed] that The Raven was the form which Satan took on Earth.

The Omen III: The Final Conflict[]

When Damien sensed that the Second Coming of Christ was approaching, he expressed rage and blame towards Christ for Lucifer's exile from Heaven. Damien also vowed to him that he would avenge his exile from Heaven by destroying Christ, but Damien ultimately failed and died.

Trivia[]

  • In the Omen Books, and once in the film Damien - Omen II, the Antichrist was referred to as being a projection or incarnation of Satan.
  • In some of Katherine Thorn's nightmares of Damien in The Omen, a sinister being in a red cloak with a jackal's skull for a head was seen with Damien. Some fans believed that this was Satan himself.
