Satan, also known as The Devil or Baphomet, Asmodeus, Diablo, is the father of the Antichrist, Adam Young.

Background[]

Satan is the original demon; he led the rebellion against Heaven and was responsible for forming Hell (as an organisation, if not a place) when the rebel angels were made to Fall.

Before the Fall he used to be called Lucifer.[1]

Satan is the ruler of Hell.

Significance in series[]

"The Very Last Day of the Rest of Their Lives"[]

After Adam refuses to trigger the End of Days, despite Beelzebub's and Gabriel's attempts to persuade/bully him into it, the two supernatural beings depart to inform Adam's father, Satan, of Adam's disobedience. Minutes later, the earth begins to tremble as Satan ascends. Crowley and Aziraphale manage to speak to Adam right before Satan appears, encouraging him to use his power over reality to defeat - but not fight - his father.

Satan makes his entrance, demanding to know where his son is. When Adam comes forth, Satan (ironically) scolds him for rebelling. Adam, unaffected by Satan's words, uses his power to declare that Satan is not his father, pointing out that he was never there as a parental figure in Adam's life. This declaration results in reality being changed, with Satan no longer being his father, and Adam's adoptive father (now his real one), Arthur Young, appearing instead. This alteration of reality officially puts a stop to Armageddon.

Powers and Abilities:[]

Near Omnipotence: Although Satan is a Fallen Angel, he still has the power to do anything he wants at a near omnipotent level, although he lacks omniscience because he fell from grace.

Creating Apocalyptic Disasters: With both Satan and the Antichrist walking the earth, they are able to create multiple apocalyptic disasters across the world, alongside The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. These disasters were only temporary and erased by the Antichrist.
