At the dawn of existence, Lucifer lived in Heaven as one of God's Archangels. Created by Yahweh himself, he had been bestowed power, intellect, beauty and glory beyond that of any other being. However, Lucifer began to view himself as a being greater than all, perfect, infinite and eternal, which led to him being condemned by God. Defeated in battle by the Archangel Michael, he was cast and sealed into the bowels of Hell where he experienced immense suffering for countless eons. In the 20th Century, thanks to the souls of Eris, Abel and Poseidon, he was capable of breaking free from his prison and returning to Earth.
