St. Thomas Aquinas, theorized that Satan is a fallen Cherub and that Satan disguised himself as a cherub to trick the Angel Uriel. Uriel is a good Angel and guardian whose responsibilities include guarding the planet earth.

St. Thomas says [ST 1.63.7.1r], "Cherubim is interpreted 'fullness of knowledge,' while 'Seraphim' means 'those who are on fire,' or 'who set on fire.' Consequently Cherubim is derived from knowledge; which is compatible with mortal sin; but Seraphim is derived from the heat of charity, which is incompatible with mortal sin. Therefore the first angel who sinned is called, not a Seraph, but a Cherub.

Why would God make Satan?

God did not create satan. What God created was a guardian cherub, an angel. The angel was blameless in his ways, until wickedness was found in him. The angel was boastful. He desired to be like the Most High. And because of the pride of the guardian cherub, God cast him down to the earth. Hence, the angel became the devil, the father of lies, the serpent. In short, God created an angel that soon became evil and hence satan.
