* AmbitionIsEvil: Craving for power is Lucifer's FatalFlaw. He first wants to rule over both angels and humans alongside God, but he's rebuked because there can only be one God. Upset about it he hypocritically deems God a tyrant and [[TheParagonAlwaysRebels convinces other angels]] to rebel against him. He loses the war and is banned from Heaven, which causes him great pain but doesn't prevent him from declaring himself the ruler of hell.

Lucifer also has his arms crossed over the lower half of his face and is tensely laying over a patch of rocky soil with both his wings and muscles coiled tightly.

Meanwhile, Lucifer's entire pose is meant to convey tension and being closed off, and pressed-together legs are necessary for that.
