Here is what The Bible has to say about Satan before he became the Devil.

Ezekiel 28: 11-19 describes the Devil as the most beautiful of all creation in the heaven , the model of perfection , of wisdom, perfect in beauty and adorned with every precious stone . He was faultless in his ways, until unrighteousness was found in him.

Verse 17 reads. " Your heart ( Satan's heart ) became haughty because of his beauty. You corrupted your wisdom because of your own glorious splendour".

Job 1: 6 -12 shows that Satan was able to directly communicate with God.

So to answer your question. The Devil was first a friend of God until he became corrupted and lacked wisdom due to his choice. That is why the meaning of the name Satan is resister, adversary of God.

John 8: 44 describes Satan the Devil as a murderer and a liar who did not stand fast in the truth. Which means that he was once a friend of God but decided to no longer live in harmony with God's friendship.

So YES the devil was once friends with God.

Is god the devils brother?

That depends on the religon. For Christians: No. The devil is a fallen angel by the name of Lucifer. All angels were created by God, even the ones who eventually became evil. It depends. If you use the Greek mythology the equivalent of God is Zeus and the Devil is Hades, they are brothers. So you have to ask does Zeus love his brother. I guess it depends on what Religion or Mythology you look at the situation.

God vs devil who will win?

Earthellism can answer the question God versus the devil, who will win. World War II was an example of this question. The human devils were Hitler and Stalin and God was represented by love. In a sense Poland and European Jews were on God's side. If we logically look at the outcome of WWII we can clearly see who really won. Hitler tried to wipe out European Jews but resulted in the creation of a nuclear state of Israel. Hitler's skull is now a paper weight in the Kremlin. Stalin did initially destroy Poland and killed over 22,000 of its leaders. But in the end the Soviet Union was destroyed and Poland gave us a great Pope and is now a great country. God and love will always defeat hate and the devil in the long term. In the short term, hate and the devil will always have a few victories in the form of innocent blood, but their outcome should never be in doubt. The new philosophy of Earthellism can finally explain to us the limited direct powers of God and the unlimited indirect powers of God.

Would God ever forgive the devil?

According to John 8: 44 the devil is considered to be a murderer and a liar and has brought death on the human race confirmed in Roman 5: 12. And yet Ezekiel 28: 11-19 shows that the Devil was an angel, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, adorned with every precious stone, faultless, when he was created by God, until unrighteousness was found in him. So God has all the right to not forgive that kind of murderer, who was given all what was needed to be a successful angel. God's provision to wipe out all the harm that Satan the Devil has done, is in the gift that was given 2'000 years ago, when he sent His precious Son to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. God's government called the kingdom of God that Jesus told us to pray for in Matthew 6: 9, 10 where God's will, will be done as in heaven also on earth. That Kingdom ( government ) will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule, under the Devil's influence have done. 1 John 5: 19 confirms that the whole world is lying in the power of the Devil for the moment. So to answer your question, which is: Would God forgive the devil? Well ! the facts are, that there is no space for forgivness in such circumstances.
