Biography
Banishment from Heaven
As his name suggests, the First of the Fallen was the first angel banished from Heaven and cast down to Hell. Presumably he is also the first angel created by God.
The Devil's Vinyl
A Blue's musician, by the name of Willie Cole, sold his soul to the First of the Fallen for fame. After a period of time, the First came to claim Willie's soul, while the latter was recording in a studio. The First's voice ended up being recorded on the song Willie was recording at the time. Anyone who picks up the record will become tempted to play it, and if they listen to it, their eyes will start to glow yellow, and the person will falls under a hypnosis and commit suicide.[1]

Trivia
- Despite a common misconception, the First of the Fallen and Lucifer are two different beings. Although they are very similar in nature and origin, Lucifer Morningstar was the rebel archangel who lead the revolt of the angels, while the First of the Fallen was simply the first fallen angel who was condemned to rule Hell.
