* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** In the Season 1 finale, [[spoiler:Lucifer rubs it in Malcolm's face that he is going to Hell, as the Pentecostal Coin Lucifer gave him earlier, which would allow a soul to leave hell, was already used by Lucifer himself.]]
** In the Season 3 finale, [[spoiler:he points out to the dying Cain, who believes that he will go to heaven, since he doesn't regret anything he has done, ''will'' go to hell because he killed Charlotte and that he ''does'' regret this, which makes him a monster. Cain, in his dying breath mutters that Lucifer, who is about to get back his devil face, is the same.]]

* DevilComplex: Averted. He most definitely ''is'' {{Satan}} himself, but everyone thinks he's playing a character or is just crazy.
* DoNotCallMePaul: A surefire way to make Lucifer pissed is to call him by his real name Samael. Linda's wall gets a [[Recap/Lucifer2016S01E06FavoriteSon hole punched through it]] after she provoked him multiple times with said name, and when Lucifer talks to [[Recap/Lucifer2016S02E16GodJohnson God Johnson]], who repeatedly calls him Samael instead of Lucifer, he's a second away from attacking him before Linda interrupts them.

** While Lucifer is not above petty {{Revenge}}, he is a firm believer in LaserGuidedKarma and that the punishment should fit the crime. If [[DisproportionateRetribution the desired vengeance goes too far (especially if it leads to murder)]], [[DisappointedByTheMotive all snappy comebacks will be put to bed and a rant will ensue]].

* EverybodyHatesHades: In-universe, he is occassionally frustrated that some people accuse him of being evil and stating "the devil made them do it" thanks to church and pop-culture. In actuality he is only ruling hell and ''punishes'' evil people, having nothing to do with their actions when alive. This is in line with early stories about the devil before religious retellints started to make the devil more evil.

** Ironically, he's the Abel to Amenadiel's Cain in the first season. While selfish and uncaring, Lucifer is the younger sibling using his abilities to help a human detective solve crimes and catch criminals while Amenadiel is the older sibling searching for a way to send Lucifer back to Hell and after learning of his mortality issues becomes willing to have Lucifer be killed. [[spoiler:However it's {{Averted|Trope}} as Amenadiel does come to realise that he was wrong for doing this and while still antagonistic at first the two slowly fix their relationship and become far closer by the later seasons.]]

*** The First of the Fallen, also known as Satan, in the comics was the original ruler of Hell until Lucifer deposed him, regaining his title as ruler when Lucifer left. Since Satan and Lucifer come from completely different realities, they have never actually met and instead appeared to be alternate universe counterparts to each other.

He only really started developing animosity for Michael when he tried to impersonate Lucifer and screw around with his life on Earth.

Added DiffLines:

* InformedFlaw: At the start of the show, everyone claimed that his time on Earth had changed him with Lucifer showing more noble qualities and a caring side that concerned both Maze and Amenadiel. They also consistently reminded him that he was the Devil and is therefore evil, with all of this suggesting that before the series began Lucifer was in fact a monstrous person. However this was never actually shown to be true, with Lucifer instead only being shown to be self absorbed and selfish before CharacterDevelopment began to change that. It wasn't long until CharacterizationMarchesOn set in, as several flashbacks show that he wasn't that different from his personality in Season 1 while several comments imply that not only did he keep the demons from harming humanity while ruling Hell, but his rebellion was hardly something worth being condemned to Hell for.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the comics Lucifer and Maze are married, with the latter being one of the few people Lucifer genuinely cares about. In this version while it's implied that the two have romantic history, they're more friends with benefits with Maze also technically being Lucifer's servant in Season 1, and Lucifer's love interest is instead CanonForeigner Chloe. As the show goes along their romantic past is downplayed and in the Season 6 Lucifer calls Maze his best friend.

* GoodCounterpart: It's not clear how he relates to the First of the Fallen from [[Series/{{Arrowverse}} Earth-Prime]]. This was also a problem with the DC Comics CanonWelding ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' and ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'', with the comics eventually settling on the two being similar but entirely separate beings. Here, Constantine has formerly described the First as a former angel on his show and Lucifer has used the title "first of the fallen" for himself on his. Assuming they are AlternateUniverse versions of the same character, Lucifer is clearly more benign than the Earth-1 Satan, as well as a SexierAlterEgo.
