The religious term Satan refers to either an evil-aligned spiritual entity or a metaphor for evil or selfish desires. In the Abrahamic mythologies of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Satan is said to have been God's most beautiful and powerful servant before staging a coup in order to rule Heaven himself. After being spurned by God, Satan turned his attention to the destruction and corruption of God's creation.

In many cases, his frightening true nature becomes apparent later, once the characters are fully entangled in his schemes. -
Satanism
Satan is prominent in LaVeyan Satanism, a nontheistic religion promoting humanistic desires, and Theistic Satanism, whose adherents believe that Satan was merely misunderstood or that they should actively serve 'evil' and fight against 'good'. -
