Lucifer's Relationships

This is all of Lucifer's minor relationships throughout the series.

Lucifer and Demons
Lucifer is the Father and Creator of the demon race, and is regarded highly by all but a few. In retaliation for God's banishment of him from Heaven and God's love for mankind, Lucifer corrupted Lilith, one of the first humans, and turned her into the very first demon.

Since this was an act merely meant to upset God, Lucifer held no affections for his creations. He used them whenever he needed their assistance, such as help in breaking the 66 seals and causing havoc on Earth during the Apocalypse.

An example of his disregard for the demons was the heartless murder of a handful of demons, sacrificed in the ritual to free Death from his coffin. He was somewhat perplexed by Sam's horror towards his actions, and simply muttered that they were "just demons".

Despite this, many demons continue to obey him and try to serve him, even at the cost of their own lives. Many abandoned their new King Crowley when Lucifer escaped his Cage a second time, and Simmons willingly shielded Lucifer from a blast from a Hand of God, leading to her death.

Lucifer is the only non-demon to date to rule over Hell, as he was their creator. Prior to his release from his Cage during the Apocalypse, many demons claim to have never even seen him, much like the angels never met nor saw God.

Lucifer and Gabriel
Lucifer was Gabriel's older brother and was said to have taught him various tricks, such as the ability to cast life-like illusions. The two likely had a happy time in Heaven, alongside their other brethren, however, Lucifer's decision to rebel against God caused a fight that drove Gabriel away.

For eons, Gabriel resided on Earth under the guise of a pagan deity, doing what Dean later referred to as "running from his family". Gabriel would deny these claims, and hide his true face until The Apocalypse came, during which he supported the final battle all in hopes that it would end quickly.

Displeased with Gabriel's behavior and avoidance of direct confrontation, Dean berated Gabriel into confronting Lucifer when the latter arrived at Elysian Fields Hotel. Gabriel relented in the end, and provided Sam and Dean with the knowledge on how to re-seal his brother. At long last, Lucifer met Gabriel, and expressed distaste in Gabriel's protectiveness over Kali, the sole pagan deity to survive his massacre.

Gabriel admitted to loving his brother, but could not stand what had become of him, urging him to grow up for once. Lucifer was dismissive of his words, but showed signs of not wanting to fight Gabriel at all. Like Michael, Gabriel ignored him and attempted to attack him from behind, but as Lucifer was his mentor, Lucifer easily saw through his illusions and promptly stabbed Gabriel with his own archangel blade.

Lucifer killed his brother and gazed upon his corpse afterwards. It is during this period that Lucifer expressed for the first time genuine remorse. Ultimately, it was Gabriel's instructions that would result in Lucifer's re-imprisonment, though whether he knew Gabriel had passed on this knowledge is unknown.

Lucifer and Michael
Michael is Lucifer's older brother and the only angel more powerful than him. Michael once said he raised Lucifer in a way "nobody can understand". The two formed an exceptionally strong bond, and with their other siblings, the two lived happily in Heaven.

However, their relationship turned sour when Lucifer sought to defy God's wishes of bowing down to mankind. Michael chose to side with God, and began calling Lucifer a monster. This act of betrayal would upset Lucifer for many years to come. The two fought during the First Heavenly War, which Michael won and subsequently cast Lucifer into his Cage, on God's orders.

Michael then sought to have the Apocalypse happen so that, as pre-destined, he would kill Lucifer and bring about paradise. The two met at Stull Cemetery, with Lucifer possessing Sam and Michael possessing Adam. The two expressed a slight joy in finally meeting, but when Lucifer pleaded for Michael to "walk off the chessboard" and not fight at all, Michael, although hesitant, chose to carry out God's will once again.

Unable to talk Michael into backing down, Lucifer accepted that they had to fight and see who would win. Said battle never came to fruition when Dean Winchester decided to interrupt them. Castiel also intervened and banished Michael using holy fire, which angered Lucifer to the point that he mercilessly killed the angel.

Through memories sparked by a toy soldier inside the Impala, Sam was able to regain control of his body long enough to open the doorway to the Cage. Michael returned just then, still eager to continue the fight, but Sam managed to pull him in and all four fell into the Cage.

It is unclear what transpired between Michael and Lucifer in the Cage. During the five Earth-years Lucifer was there, Michael had been driven insane. When an opportunity to escape presented itself, Lucifer abandoned his brother and never made mention of him afterwards.

Lucifer and Michael's relationship mirrors that of Sam and Dean Winchester, with the main difference being that Michael chose God, while Dean chose Sam.

Lucifer and Nick
Upon being freed from the Cage for the first time, Lucifer required a vessel, and chose the lonely Nick for reasons unclear. Nick had recently lost his wife and child to a burglar, and was still in mourning. Lucifer used this knowledge to torment Nick with visions and sounds of his deceased loved ones.

Eventually, Lucifer appeared to Nick in a dream in the guise of Nick's wife, Sarah. Nick did not believe who he was at first, though he was soon convinced as Lucifer explained his intentions of punishing God for his crimes, adding the deaths of Nick's family as one of them.

Nick wanted his family brought back, but Lucifer claimed he could not fulfill this wish, but could give him the next best thing, revenge. Recalling the loss he had suffered, Nick assented to possession, and Lucifer walked the Earth at long last.

During The Apocalypse, Lucifer gradually burnt away at Nick's body, due to the latter's incapability in housing an archangel. To maintain it, Lucifer was forced to consume gallons of demon blood, according to Castiel. When Sam finally said "yes", Lucifer abandoned Nick in Detroit and left him, seemingly dead.

Supposedly, Lucifer preferred Nick's image, as he would manifest in Hell and inside the Cage in the guise of Nick. Sam's hallucination of Lucifer also took on the guise of Nick's form, minus the burn marks, possibly because Sam was familiar with this form.

Nick became the first of four known vessels Lucifer would take since his debut.

Lucifer and Rowena
After The Darkness was freed from her prison, Lucifer was able to send visions to the world outside the Cage since The Darkness' rise had damaged the Cage.

Lucifer sent visions to Sam Winchester, in an effort to lure him to Hell and get him to say "yes" again, while at the same time, he visited Rowena in her dreams, dressed as Santa Claus as fitting for her Christmas-themed nightmare. Lucifer promised Rowena a place beside him as his Queen, if she assisted him in escaping the Cage.

Completely fascinated by Lucifer, Rowena agreed and allowed Crowley's demons to capture her and take her back to Crowley, who by then had been approached by Sam and Dean, both intent on contacting Lucifer due to Sam's visions.

Rowena used spells from the Book of the Damned to summon Lucifer from his Cage to another one in Limbo, which was covered in sigils and surrounded by holy fire, meant to contain the archangel and weaken him. However, since Rowena was working for him, the spells were weak and easily taken down by Lucifer, much to Sam's horror.

In an effort to banish Lucifer, Crowley used a witchcatcher to force Rowena to cast the spell that would send Lucifer back. Although Rowena completed the spell as commanded, Lucifer was not affected as he had obtained a vessel in time, that being Castiel. Rowena was delighted, and approached her "King" as he removed the witchcatcher and decided to offer her a reward.

Lucifer pretended to kiss Rowena, only to pull back and ask if she was the only one who could open the Cage. Rowena confirmed this, and was promptly killed by Lucifer, her neck snapped. Fortunately, Rowena survived this through magic pre-set to resurrect her should she die.

Disgusted by his betrayal, Rowena turned to The Darkness for an alliance, but would soon change her mind and flee to join the Winchesters. She was tasked by them to cast a warding spell to contain Lucifer, though she remained hidden from his sight, Lucifer unaware of her return until The Darkness arrived and told him.

Lucifer and Rowena were later recruited as part of God's team to combat The Darkness. The main members gathered at a warehouse, where Lucifer complimented an unsatisfied Rowena. Their joint efforts proved fruitless in the end, and Lucifer was banished from his vessel, his immediate whereabouts unknown.
