Satan was known as Lucifer before he tried to supplant God. According to The Bible he was the most beautiful angle and one of the most powerful. He tried to overthrow God because he wanted power, about one third of the angels sided with him. Lucifer was defeated and thrown to the Earth with the angels who supported him. He is a fallen angle.

∙ 9y agoThe term satan was a title in an allegory in the Old Testament, given by God to make a point. The name Satan was made up by the early Christian Church to represent those who opposed the Church; their enemies.
Correction: Satan was an angel of light (hence the name Lucifer, which means light), cast out of Heaven for his disobedience. The name was not made up by the early Christian church. Jesus Christ Himself referred to Satan, and spoke with him during Christ's own temptation.
