He is an extraordinarily powerful fallen seraph angel, the reclusive and delightfully eccentric King and "ringleader" of Hell, the head and founder of the Seven Deadly Sins circus troupe, one of the many "children" of God, patriarch of the royal Magne family, the estranged husband of Lilith, and the father of Charlotte Magne. As the King of Hell and Sin of Pride, Lucifer is renowned for his showman-like persona, childish whimsy, and extravagant behavior. He presides over The Circus, the Pride Ring's royal capital circle.
In the past, Lucifer was the starry-eyed, but controlling prince of Heaven born to the Morningstar family, tasked with composing God's choir and bringing joy to Heaven's denizens. When God and the angels continued to love humanity even after they were corrupted by the Root of Evil, Lucifer only focused on the evil mankind committed with their free will, becoming convinced that he could control the Universe with more prowess than God Himself. He was defeated and banished by Archangel Michael and the Seven Heavenly Virtues for his rebellion and cast down from Heaven along with all who followed him. After meeting Lilith on Earth and destroying his own soul to break his bond to the Virtues, Lucifer formed the Seven Deadly Sins circus troupe and created the seven rings of Hell to serve as their personal circus. After a bitter falling out with the other Sins, Lucifer assumed control over Hell as the supreme Ringleader, over time becoming a cautionary tale up in Heaven.
Billions of years after his damnation, Lucifer continued to harbor a relentless obsession with ascending back to Heaven and assume what he considers to be his rightful positions as the King of Heaven, the "true" God of the Universe, and the ruler of all creation. However, over the course of time, his ambition to create a "perfect" world has waned, and he has shifted his focus towards indulging in a depressive fantasy world centered around Lu Lu World.
Throughout the events of the story, Lucifer's personality goes up and down like the rollercoasters of Lu Lu World. Initially portrayed as narcissistic and callous, he also maintains an eccentric and extravagant facade, fitting for the Sin of Pride, owning any room he's in - mostly because his bumbling servants Corey and Peel loudly demand it. In Heaven, he acted like a theater kid, treating life like a big musical and believing everything revolved around him. He is every bit the terrifying ringmaster of Hell, but is also a goofy, bumbling, mischievous, stylish and silly showman fond of mischief. He is also - initially - almost comically unsupportive, antagonistic, and mean-spirited towards his daughter, Charlie, even trying to sabotage the Hazbin Hotel because he refuses to let his daughter hand Heaven his own subjects on a silver platter. However, as he realizes his failure to "perfect" Hell and turn it into a whimsical circus of fun, he gets hit in the face with humble pie, plunging into depression. After this, he becomes more unmotivated, miserable and benign. Despite his descent, Charlie still reaching out to him despite everything changes his perspective. He relinquishes his self-centered pride, and ends up embracing Charlie as his ultimate source of pride and happiness, putting all of his arrogance and pride into her being his daughter, rather than his own sense of importance.
During his time in Heaven, Lucifer began as a charming, childlike, wonder-filled dreamer, theater kid and composer brimming with passionate ideas about humanity's potential to wield their free will - fantasizing about how they would dedicate their free will to worship him in many fun and creative ways. It was clear that, even before the war, Lucifer was vain and narcissistic, blissfully ignorant of the callous impression he left on those around him. While not truly evil at this point, he was an overly dramatic control freak who was oblivious to his own flaws, all while claiming to have everyone's best interests at heart. In reality, he sought to impose his unrealistic expectations on everyone, regardless of their feasibility, excoriating all who fell short of his crushing expectations. Despite being tasked with bringing joy to Heaven's denizens, he only taught the winners of Heaven his own, selfie view of joy in others; worshipping and praising him.
However, a slow corruption overtook him as he perceived God's increasing love for humanity as a threat to his own significance. Lucifer's initial demeanor mirrored that of an overly dramatic, scorned theater kid, treating God's greater affection for humanity as if he had just suffered a defeat in a musical audition, childishly asserting that his music-making surpassed humanity's by tenfold. This evolving obsession with himself led to a petty disdain for humanity, catalyzed by God's decree for all angels to love and redeem mankind, even after they had been corrupted by the malevolent influence of the Root of Evil. Acknowledging only the evils of humanity and feeling unappreciated (despite being widely worshiped by angels and being God's favorite angel), Lucifer gained a conviction that God had gone senile. In his distorted perception, he fancied himself capable of guiding the Universe more adeptly than his Father ever could. As Raphael puts it, "he was the ugly duckling of the family but, like, on the inside."
Masterfully skilled in manipulation, the young prince charmed and exploited the emotional anguish of angels like Fergus, reminding them of their personal traumas, such as the loss of loved ones or the soldiers under their command. Through these tactics, he swayed loyal warriors to serve him and betray their previous allegiances.
At this juncture, Lucifer descended into near total madness and reached his absolute worst. He didn't hesitate to issue orders for the deaths of his own brothers when Satan recommended it. In addition, Lucifer personally oversaw the deaths of countless God-loving men, women, and children during the catastrophic War in Heaven. However, Lucifer's insatiable lust for power and his overwhelming arrogance ultimately proved to be his downfall. In a swift and decisive turn of events, he found himself effortlessly defeated by the formidable Archangel Michael and subsequently banished to the depths of Hell, along with all those who had followed his treacherous path. Following his exile from Heaven, Lucifer gradually lost his spark and much of his passion and drive, and therefore, he spends most of his time in the present trying to entertain himself. However, the fallen prince still held enough charm and charisma after his fall to woo Lilith - despite her cold demeanor - with his nerdy aspirations and lively demeanor. He expressed genuine care for Lilith, lifting her up at her darkest moment and offering her friendship and an escape from a miserable, homely life on Earth.
Never short of puns, quips, or jokes, King Lucifer is absurdist, self-indulgent, easily bored, and jaunty, a witty and charismatic showman with a goofy and silly charm, while simultaneously maintaining an air of regality and menace to avoid making others feel too comfortable around him. He loves creating things in his spare time, from wacky inventions to sentient creatures of his design. He views Hell as his personal sandbox and circus, not taking anything seriously beyond his personal woes. Despite his royal status, he has no interest in upholding etiquette, openly enjoying things such as singing, creating wacky, seemingly pointless inventions, theme parks, eating junk foods (especially candy corn), and being a connoisseur of polka music. Lucifer is also prone to idiosyncrasies, such as calling himself the "ringleader" of Hell rather than its king, since Hell is one big circus to him. Another one of Lucifer's idiosyncrasies is that he refers to sinners as "freaks", likely to dehumanize them. He also likens humans to childrens' bath toys, finding it hilarious to have their souls represented as fragile rubber duck toys. His extravagant mannerisms and cheerful demeanor often leads the newcomers in Hell to mistakenly perceive him as a harmless, bumbling, and fun-loving ruler, never to be taken too seriously.
Lucifer gives the impression of one who has been around the block and is desensitized to absurd, wacky situations, as he is seemingly immune to the eccentric and bizarre happenings of his life. He casually drops references and calls back to outlandish scenarios and behaviors as though they were routine occurrences. It is hinted that Lucifer perpetually finds himself in absurd escapades and antics behind the scenes (like teaching penguins how to play the accordion and getting into fiddle contests with humans on Earth), but because he is only a secondary character, these exploits are always offscreen. Most of his onscreen appearances, such as his confrontations with Charlie and the hotel, is simply the "boring" part of his life.
He is noted by both sinners and Hell's nobility to be a rather reclusive, apathetic, and negligent ruler, almost never making public appearances since he prefers to stay in his castle or Lu Lu World and entertain himself. He never attends to his royal duties and rarely manages Hell himself, since he believes the dimension can run itself. Lucifer's apathy has led the Pride Ring to descend into a perpetual state of turmoil, with streets strewn with corpses, rampant criminality, debauchery, and the pervasive stench of decaying bodies and burning structures in the air. It is evident that Lucifer harbors a certain level of disdain for Hell itself, and he is openly embarrassed to hold the title of its ruler. He regards Hell with extreme contempt, seeing it as a "shithole" undeserving of being called a kingdom, and opts to pass the majority of his time within The Circus or Lu Lu World, both of which were exclusively designed for his amusement. This inclination is not surprising considering that, at the end of the day, he, too, is a prisoner of Hell, bearing a similarity to the very "freaks" he governs.
