He is also a fallen archangel, and the first fallen angel. He is the original ruler of Hell and the creator of the demon race, seen by them as their father and god. As the second-born Archangel, he is the younger brother of Michael, and older brother of Raphael and Gabriel.

According to his younger brother Gabriel, Lucifer is, or at least was, God's favorite and most beloved creation, but when God asked for all angels to bow down to humanity, Lucifer refused both out of jealousy and wounded pride over being commanded to bow to what he saw as a broken, flawed, and murderous species and no longer feeling he was God's favorite. He rebelled and then waged war against God but was eventually cast out of Heaven and was stripped of his Archangel status and then banished to Hell by his older brother, Michael.

Throughout the millennia, Lucifer was imprisoned in Hell and stripped from his own identity, eventually becoming a distorted disembodied evil entity that everybody knew him for as, "The Devil". During his time in Hell, he put together his own creation called "demons", from out of the souls of man that was sent to Hell for those who were sinful. His first ever demon created was to be "Lilith". And among the earliest demons being; Azazel and Alastair.

Centuries later, his last and most loyal remaining demon; Azazel, vowed to free his master from his cage in Hell. By finding Lucifer a human vessel to possess and walk the Earth once more and bring upon The Apocalypse. Soon after, Kurt Mendoza was chosen to be his vessel after Azazel successfully used the power of the White Dino Ranger to find a compatible wielder of an evil Ranger power, figuring he too would be the perfect and sole vessel for Lucifer.

Eventually, Lucifer was freed from his imprisonment when the final seal of his cage was accidentally broken by Kurt. Before getting to Kurt, he possessed Kurt's best friend to roam the Earth in the Ranger-World and took action to bring upon The Apocalypse and cleanse the Earth of the human race. Soon even after Lucifer was able to possess Kurt, his true vessel, Kurt's love for his brother figure, Hunter, allowed Kurt to regain back control of himself, just in time to sacrifice himself to seal both him, Lucifer and Michael back into the cage in Hell.

Lucifer is arguably the primary antagonist of the entire series, having served as the ultimate cause of evil in the show, from Azazel choosing Kurt to become the evil White Ranger, through being destined as the sole vessel for the Devil and bring upon "The Apocalypse".

However, in Chpt10, it was revealed that the root cause of Lucifer's twisted and evil nature was in fact his bearance of the Mark of Cain, the original curse created by God that served as a "lock and key" which kept the primordial entity, The Darkness, sealed away after its defeat at the hands of God and his four Archangels.
