Lucifer "Luci" Morningstar, also known as the Devil, is a fallen angel and a club owner in Los Angeles.
Biography
Early life
Presumably in ancient times, Lucifer became known as the Devil. He later found his way to Earth-666. At some point, Lucifer met John Constantine, who helped him with an ordeal regarding Maze, for which he owed him a favor.[1]
Favor for John Constantine
Later, Lucifer repaid his debt to John when the latter, Mia Smoak, and John Diggle found him in his club. Lucifer gave John a card to enter purgatory for a limited time.[1]
Powers and abilities
Powers
- Angelic physiology: Being a fallen angel, Lucifer harnesses a number of divine powers.
- Desire revelation: Lucifer has the ability to make people reveal their deep desires.[1]
- Immortality: After Constantine, Mia, and Diggle did business with Lucifer, the latter referred the three as mortals, presumably meaning that Lucifer is immortal.
- Dimensional awareness: During the crisis, he displayed some knowledge of the multiverse when he told John Constantine that he wasn't happy seeing him again on "his" Earth.
Abilities
- Club owner: Lucifer has managed to gain ownership over a club.
Equipment
Former equipment
- Timed purgatory teleportation card: Lucifer gave John Constantine a card that transports presumably any desired number of individuals to purgatory. It's about the size of a playing card with an illustration of a devil playing the piano with the words "The Devil" at the bottom. Once the picture completely fades, the soul(s) of the user(s) will be completely decimated and trapped there for eternity.[1]

Crisis on Infinite Earths Tom Ellis Explains LUCIFER'S Cameo (Exclusive)
Behind the scenes
- Tom Ellis confirmed in an interview that Lucifer's appearance in Crisis on Infinite Earths happened during the 5-year gap in between Lucifer coming to Earth and when the Lucifer series begin.[2]
- The card with an illustration of the Devil playing the piano is a reference to Lucifer's expertise as a pianist.
- In the DC Comics, although the senior member of the Satanic Triumvirate, the First of the Fallen, a.k.a. Satan, is sometimes confused with Lucifer, who is, on the other hand, the fourth of the fallen.
- It is unclear whether Earth-666 and Earth-1 have separate Hells or if the Triumvirate came to power after Lucifer abdicated, as in the comics.
- However, the show Lucifer explicitly states that there's only one Devil of Earth-666. In addition, the Hell featured is a dark and ash-filled endless maze of doors with the damned locked behind them, by contrast to the city seen in the Arrowverse.
