[[Image:Lucifer's Angelic Form.jpg|350px|left|thumb|[[Lucifer]]'s emergence from the Cage.]]
Lucifer is the second archangel, and refers to Michael as his older brother. He aided God and the other archangels in locking away [[the Darkness]] and become the first bearer of the [[Mark of Cain]].<ref name="ten23" >[[10.23 Brother's Keeper]]</ref> After the creation of mankind, Lucifer disputed their place in creation with his brothers and with God. These arguments annoyed Gabriel, and became so severe that he voluntarily exiled himself from Heaven. Lucifer's disobedience caused him to be cast out of Heaven. As an act of defiance, Lucifer twisted a human being's soul to create the first demon, [[Lilith]]. He was then confined against his will to a Cage. Sometime after Lucifer's incarceration, started referring to him as Satan and the Devil, while demons came to revere him as their creator.
In 1972, [[Azazel]] possessed a [[Father Lehne|priest]] at [[St. Mary's Convent]], and sacrificed eight nuns to speak to the imprisoned Lucifer. Lucifer tells Azazel that Lilith is needed to break the 66 Seals that hold him captive in the Cage and that he needs to find a very special child.
Sam and Dean try to kill Lucifer with [[the Colt]], but fail as Lucifer is one of the five things in existence the gun can't kill. At the same time, Lucifer succeeds in raising and binding [[Death]].<ref name="five10" /> Sam comes up with a plan in which he will allow Lucifer to possess him, and then force him into the Cage. Sam consents, but cannot take control of his own body. Later when Lucifer confronts Michael at Stull Cemetery, Castiel temporarily dispatches Michael and is killed by Lucifer, but his act gives Dean time to talk to Lucifer. Dean cannot bring Sam to the surface and Lucifer savagely beats him. Then Lucifer caught a glimpse of a toy soldier shoved into a side tray of the [[Impala]], and a flood of emotional memories allowed Sam to take over. Sam opened a portal to the Cage and jumped in, trapping Lucifer once more in Hell and taking Michael with him.<ref name="five22" />
After the release of [[the Darkness]], Lucifer was able to reach out to Sam in the form of visions to draw him to the Cage and worked with [[Rowena]] to escape. Lucifer was able to escape the Cage by possessing [[Castiel]] who said "yes" as Lucifer claims to be able to defeat the Darkness.<ref name="eleven02">[[11.02 Form and Void]]</ref><ref name"eleven04">[[11.04 Baby]]</ref><ref name"eleven09">[[11.09 O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]</ref><ref name="eleven10" /> Lucifer regained control of Hell, but kept his true identity a secret from the Winchesters until they went after the [[Hand of God]]. The Hand's power was expended in 1943 and Lucifer was [[angel banishing sigil|banished]] by Sam, leaving the Winchesters determined to hunt down Lucifer and free Castiel from his control.<ref name="eleven14" /> After recovering from his banishment, Lucifer began searching for another Hand of God and working on taking control of [[Heaven]] as well as Hell. After a failed attempt to exorcise Lucifer from Castiel, Lucifer was captured by [[Amara]]<ref name"eleven18" >[[11.18 Hell's Angel]]</ref> and brutally tortured before being rescued by Sam, [[Donatello Redfield]] and [[Metatron]]. Afterwards, Lucifer was reunited with God for the first time in millennia and was healed by his father.<ref name="eleven21" /> On the Winchesters insistence, God and Lucifer sat down and reconciled with each other after which Lucifer allied himself with the Winchesters and God against the Darkness. During a final attack on Amara, Lucifer is able to bring Amara to her knees following a combined attack by [[witch]]es, angels and demons, but Amara recovers and fatally wounds God. When Lucifer tries to save his father, Amara yanks him from his vessel, leaving Lucifer's fate unknown to even Castiel.<ref name"eleven22" >[[11.22 We Happy Few]]</ref>
In [[12.01 Keep Calm and Carry On]], Lucifer is revealed to have survived his expulsion by Amara and is searching for a new vessel that can hold him. He eventually possesses aging rock star [[Vince Vincente]], a possession he attempts to have [[Rowena]] make permanent. However, Rowena betrays him, casts a spell to accelerate Vince's decay and banishes Lucifer's to the bottom of the ocean. Lucifer returns and uses an old feather to heal himself. Lucifer then sets out to kill everything in his path in revenge for God abandoning him again, burning out Vince in the attempt. Lucifer would then go on to possess the President of the United States [[Jefferson Rooney]] and conceives a [[Nephilim]] with [[Kelly Kline]]. Using a device from [[Arthur Ketch]], Sam is able to beat back Lucifer, forcing him to vacate Rooney.
