Character » Lucifer Morningstar appears in 261 issues.
Gods, deities and demons of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Angels are mythical beings that have the divine ability to fly. Are often called messengers of God in Abrahamic religions and live in the heavens. They are usually depicted in human form as male, female, or genderless (depending on the artist's/writer's interpretation).
Lucifer was unintentionally the "founder" of The Fallen, for being a star meant when he abandoned Heaven, so did a multitude behind him. There have been several accounts of what exactly Lucifer's role was in this group's activities but what is most often established is that in his leaving of Hell, countless others followed (traditionally a third of The Host) and as such all of them were therefore banned from Heaven and the Silver City. Now, where it gets confusing is whether or not Lucifer fought with the Fallen in the War against Heaven. Based on the fact that he left so nonchalantly in the fiftieth issue of his eponymous series you get the idea he never fought but who then lead the rebellion is never mentioned.
Although usually seen as the "leader" of the Triumvirate, Lucifer divided the ruling of Hell amongst himself and two others near the end of his reign. This, like many of his previous alliances was very loosely knit together. How exactly things were divided is hardly made clear but it seems like during Dream's exile, Hell was split up amongst Lucifer, Azazel and Beelzebub although Morningstar remained the sole possessor of the Key to Hell. In other accounts Azazel has been replaced by Belial as one of the Triumvirate but in every case, they are merely all Kings of Hell but they rarely come together and when they do, they don't do so as friends. Eventually however when Lucifer retires from his position in Hell, the Triumvirate has been disbanded and where his fellows go is not said.
This, although not really an official "team", is a banding of Yahweh's three "true" descendants, Lucifer Morningstar, Michael Demiurgos and Elaine Belloc. This is also the only group of allies that Lucifer seems to put any effort into keeping together or helping out, though not always for the best of reasons. Originally he simply worked to get his brother Michael to see things his way but eventually Elaine grew in both age and power and joined her father and uncle. Thus, they worked together to try and stop Fenris at Yggdrasil but this failed, ironically because of Lucifer, the one who brought them all together as he was possessed with the spirit of the Wolf and killed Michael. However, from that point on, almost as if paying for his mistake he trained Elaine in her own power and eventually put her on his father's throne and than left her as the God of All Creation, leaving that life behind him.
