History Characters / Lucifer2016

* KnightTemplar: A villainous version. Dromos is adamant that Hell's demons need a king to rule them. He proves quite willing to do ''anything'' to achieve that goal.

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:After his incarceration at the end of his debut Le Mac returns for the final two episodes, after escaping prison, and serves as the series FinalBoss.]]

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Le Mac is the final threat Lucifer and Chloe have to fight together before Lucifer leaves Earth to fulfill his purpose.]]

* HeroKiller: Le Mac is responsible for the death of [[spoiler:Dan under Micheal's orders]]. [[spoiler:This is subverted in season 6, despite Lucifer and co worrying that his disappearance in the future may be because he was murdered, and Le Mac holding Rory hostage in order to kill him, Le Mac ends up dying instead and Lucifer leaves Earth for an entirely different reason.]]

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Introduces to everyone as Chloe's sister and also tries to groom Trixie to be an actress.

* BackForTheDead: His appearance in the first part of season five. [[spoiler: He's a new resident in hell with Chloe, Maze and Ella investigating his murder.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: As revealed in the second half of season 5, [[spoiler: he's the only person to ever let go of his guilt and leave Hell, earning his place in Heaven.]]

* OnceASeason: From season 2 onward, he appears in a season's first episode. [[spoiler:Season five breaks from this pattern by having him appear a second time in the season finale.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Michael stabs her with Azrael's blade after learning that she was acting as a mole for Lucifer. She has just enough strength to make it to Lucifer's apartment before the dies which provides him and Chloe with enough clues to work out Michael's next steps]].
* TheMole: Becomes this in Michael's faction as while she doesn't get along with Lucifer, she can't stand Michael and doesn't want him taking their father's place.

* ItsAllAboutMe: He's very self-important and assumes Eve getting engaged to Maze is just her trying to get his attention.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Angels are shown to possess physiologies based around self-actualization. Their appearance and abilities reflect their personalities and mental states and can change as CharacterDevelopment sets in. Lucifer is TheHedonist who can draw out people's desires, Michael is TheSociopath that brings out people's fears, Gabriel is a gossip with a limited level of Omniscience and so on.
* DysfunctionalFamily: While at first the Host of Heaven is portrayed as its own civilization with its [[PlanetOfHats hat]] being "AlwaysLawfulGood", the series reveals they are much more like this.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: All angels are the product of the two gods ({{God}} and Goddess) that created the universe and act at their biological children, though half the time they act more in a master/servant relationship with God. They are all {{Winged Humanoid}}s that come in a variety of ethnicities and feathered wings. While angels are capable of having sex and have genders, they were [[BornAsAnAdult born as adults]] and are naturally sterile, [[spoiler:the only exception being Amenadiel, siring a son with Linda when his self-actualization temporarily turned him human, and later Lucifer, having a daughter with Chloe when she was temporarily given enhanced abilities due to a divine object]]. While they lack the raw, omnipotent power of their parents, they are capable of manifesting a variety of powers unique to themselves through [[PersonalityPowers self-actualization]]. While not as fragile as humans, there are certain things that can kill (or at least wound) them; it is implied that eating their hearts could kill them for certain (a reference to the comics), demon-forged weapons, Azrael's Blade and each other.
* PersonalityPowers: While their parents are literal gods, angels each have their own distinct and unique abilities to each of them, though whether their parents give them these abilities or if this is a side-effect of their self-actualization is kept vague.
* SuperiorSpecies: While in a lot of ways they are superior to humans in a practical sense (flight, immortality, extremely durable), they also tend to think of themselves as superior in a moral and mental capacity. If Lucifer wasn't a big enough clue for you, this is revealed later to be false, angels perfectly capable of fallibility as humans.

* AbusiveParents: Considering that he threw his own son out of Heaven and essentially forced him into running Hell for billions of years, he definitely qualifies. Then there's the fact that he threw his own wife in there and made Lucifer ''guard his mother''. He's also emotionally abusive to Amenadiel and while willing to appear to stop Lucifer, Michael and Amenadiel from fighting he took no actions to prevent Uriel's death. However, Season 5 proves that God really does care and love his children, and seeks to reconcile with Lucifer.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse. The only information we have on him is from his family, mainly Lucifer and Amenadiel, who both have their own ideas on what he's like: Lucifer thinks he's a sanctimonious JerkassGod while Amenadiel has a more favorable opinion of him. Though in Season 2, Amenadiel, while still not agreeing with Lucifer on the subject, admits he has come to see their father has a tendency to overreact.

!!! '''Played by:''' John Pankow

* NotGoodWithRejection: After Delilah rejected him twice, he decided to pay a drug dealer to kill her.

* CanonImmigrant: She and her husband eventually appear in the 2018 ''ComicBook/Lucifer'' series.

* CanonImmigrant: He and his wife eventually appear in the 2018 ''ComicBook/Lucifer'' series.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Is never mentioned by the characters after Season 2, except during an Main/AlternateUniverse episode in the third season where he is mentioned to still be alive.[[spoiler: Even when God appears in Season 5B Lucifer never mentions him nor does the Goddess when she reappears, despite the two of them being deeply affected by his death.]]

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: All angels are the product of the two gods ({{God}} and Goddess) that created the universe and act at their biological children, though half the time they act more in a master/servant relationship with God. They are all {{Winged Humanoid}}s that come in a variety of ethnicities and feathered wings. While angels are capable of having sex and have genders, they were [[BornAsAnAdult born as adults]] and are naturally sterile, [[spoiler:the only exception being Amenadiel, siring a son with Linda when his self-actualization temporarily turned him human]]. While they lack the raw, omnipotent power of their parents, they are capable of manifesting a variety of powers unique to themselves through [[PersonalityPowers self-actualization]]. While not as fragile as humans, there are certain things that can kill (or at least wound) them; it is implied that eating their hearts could kill them for certain (a reference to the comics), demon-forged weapons, Azrael's Blade and each other.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His attempts to grant the prayer of a prisoner that wanted to see his cat spirals leads directly to [[spoiler:Vincent Le Mec breaking out of prison and taking Rory hostage]].

* HeManWomanHater: His views on women are rather backwards, insisting that men should have control over women and regarding Eve's impending wedding to Maze as a cry for help. This is unsurprising since he had a woman literally created for him, not to mention his son Abel being a fellow misogynist.

* CardboardPrison: He is able to escape from prison because the guard left the door unlocked. Nobody notices he escapes because they are dealing with a literal tiger.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucifer_charlie.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
The infant son of Amenadiel and Linda. The first human-Celestial child in history.

* AmbiguousSpecies:
** Since there has never been a human-Celestial child before, nobody knows exactly ''what'' Charlie is, other than the fact that he has both human and Celestial blood. He is born without wings, though Amenadiel believes that he can go from Earth to Heaven and back, and he is eligible to become a King of Hell, a position only angels can apply.
** On the other hand, in season five he catches a cold and freezes when Amenadiel's time-stopping power activates, both things Celestials are immune to. This ambiguity is not helped by the fact that when God is asked by Amenadiel if Charlie is mortal in "Family Dinner", God merely replies in his typical NonAnswer ways, "It would seem so."
** The GrandFinale eventually settles his status. [[spoiler:He is a half-human, half-angel hybrid like Rory Decker, in that he will become as powerful as his angelic father but with the attendant weakness as his mortal mother. His wings manifest after infancy, and he will grow up until ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty.]]
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Like Trixie with Maze, he's completely unafraid of Lucifer's devil face. It even makes him laugh.
* DeadGuyJunior: Named in honor of Charlotte Richards, having been born several months after her death.
* FriendlyRivalry: Apparently has one in the future with [[spoiler: his cousin]] Rory. [[spoiler: Presumably because they're the only two half-angels in the world.]] She intends to use his infantile thumb-sucking as ammunition against him.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half Celestial, Half Human. Despite Linda's fears that he might have wings he looks like a normal human baby. It's been stated that he'll be able to come and go from the Silver City as he pleases, although someone will have to take him there first. He's also a viable candidate to replace Lucifer as King of Hell as only a Celestial can occupy the throne.
* MixedAncestry: Of two kinds. In human race terms, he is biracial (half-white half-black). In divine terms, he is half-human half-angel.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: [[spoiler: He has an adult half sister on his mother's side who is over twenty years older than he is (Linda gave birth to Adriana when she was 17 and Charlie when she was in her forties).]]
* WingedHumanoid: Amenadiel speculates that he may be born with wings, which naturally makes Linda panic. [[spoiler:He is ultimately born wingless, but does manifest wings later in life.]]

[[folder:Lilith]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucifer_lilith.jpg]]
Myth/{{Lilith}}, the First Woman, and mother of demons.

* AbusiveParents: Mazikeen seems to have some issues concerning how Lilith treated her children.
-->'''Eve:''' I'm so sorry... I completely forgot that she was your mother.\\
'''Maze:''' Yep. ''[takes a drink]'' So did she.
** In season five we learn she deliberately taught her children to reject connections to others so they wouldn't be hurt by people leaving them. Judging by Maze's desperate need to connect to people it didn't work.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Lilith is by no means a [[AdaptationalHeroism hero]] and still ''sucks'' at parenting, she didn't see her children as cannon-fodder, she never tried invading Eden or conspired to end the universe like her comic book counterpart.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Lilith gave up her immortality so she could live a mortal life. The immortality is currently stored in a ring that Lucifer wears nearly all the time.
* TheChanteuse: She worked as a New York club singer in the 1940s.
* ChekhovsGun: The ring that Lucifer has been wearing since season 1? That originally belonged to Lilith, who treasured it because it originated from the Garden of Eden, the only thing Lilith liked during her marriage to Adam. It also contains her immortality, which colored it black (it was originally white).
* FirstLove: Adam's first wife, and the woman that Eve could never live up to in his mind.
-->'''Eve:''' ''[mockingly]'' "Oh, Lilith tamed the beasts of the night!" Stupid... perfect... Lilith.
* {{Foil}}: To Eve. Both are the first women in humanity's history (Lilith the first one created, Eve humanity's first ancestor) and were both married to the first man (Adam). While Lilith hated Adam and left of her own accord [[TheOneThatGotAway leaving Adam pining for her company again]], Eve worked incredibly hard to please Adam but could never measure up. Both are hedonists, but while Lilith is like this out of apathy towards humanity and Heaven's laws, Eve does it because she grew bored with Heaven's virtuousness and wants to try modern delights. While it is implied that Lucifer and Lilith were completely platonic and parted affably, Eve and Lucifer were lovers and that excess drove them apart.
** To Lucifer. They are both Biblical immortals with strong connections with Hell (he was its king, her children its subjects), are hedonists, have an apathetic opinion towards children and they both find regular humans equal parts infuriating and fascinating, this fascination causing both of them to go through figurative and literal metamorphoses (Lucifer's [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve self-actualizing]] affecting his powers, Lilith deciding to become mortal).
* TheGhost: She gets discussed by Eve and Mazikeen, but doesn't appear until season five.
* KilledOffscreen: In "Detective Amenadiel", Maze learns that since the first and last time she met her mother, Lilith has died.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Judging by Eve's "Lilith tamed the beasts of the night" line. In Season 5, it's implied that she willfully cultivated this image out of boredom, lying that her immortality was all in her ring and not natural to her.
* MonsterProgenitor:
** She created the demons. How precisely she did that is a little unclear. Maze mentions being "forged in Hell to punish the guilty," and no mention is made of any sort of father figure, implying Lilith ''crafted'' the demons rather than giving birth to them.
** In "It Never Ends Well for the Chicken", it is revealed that demons were not native to Hell. Lilith sent them to Hell to accompany Lucifer, so he would not be lonely during his exile there.
* MotherOfAThousandYoung: Maze mentions having thousands of siblings, making Lilith this.
* NothingLeftToDoButDie: By 1946, Lilith had grown bored of living an immortal life. The talk with Gertie was the final straw for her to finally give up her immortality so she could live a normal human life.
* TheOneThatGotAway: According to Eve, she had to struggle living up to Lilith's standards, because [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Adam apparently never moved on from her]].
* ParentalAbandonment: Left her children to fend for themselves and avoided all contact with them. She certainly didn't expect (nor was she happy) one of them to show up at her door.
* Really700YearsOld: Unlike Adam or Eve, Lilith was immortal and still alive by the 1940s, thousands of years after she left Eden. However, she surrendered her immortality upon realizing that she was bored with this life.
* RetiredMonster: The mother of all demons is living a quiet life in a normal apartment in Reno by 2020.
* SueDonym: She went by "Lily Rose" in 1940s New York.
* TragicKeepsake: Lucifer's ring is important to him not because it came from Eden, but because it stores Lilith's immortality.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Maze is a carbon-copy of her mother. Even though Lucifer's recollection in her debut episode is distorted since Lucifer wants to make it gender-equal for Trixie's sake, he specifically notes that Maze resembles her, making it the one part of the memory that is not distorted in any way. And when we see her poster in "Detective Amenadiel", she really ''does'' look like Maze.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: After thousands of years living on Earth, she eventually came to the conclusion that life only has a meaning if it has an end.

* TheGhost: He's discussed by Eve and Lilith, but never makes an appearance [[spoiler:until season 6 when he shows up to try and bring Eve back to Heaven]].

* VillainousBreakdown: Breaks down once Lucifer whispers something to him after witnessing his devil eyes. [[spoiler:"Partners 'Til the End" reveals that it was something about his guilt, which tormented him until he snapped and decides to kill Lucifer to end his misery. Only, Lucifer points that even if he kills him, the guilt will never go away]].

A mercenary hired by Michael to retrieve Amenadiel's necklace.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Another one-shot character who just so happens to [[spoiler:kill off one of the series' key characters]].
* UncertainDoom: Lucifer and Maze apparently made him pay for [[spoiler:killing Dan]], but it's unknown just what they meant by that.
* VillainousBreakdown: Breaks down once Lucifer whispers something to him after witnessing his devil eyes.

* AmbiguousSpecies: Since there has never been a human-Celestial child before, nobody knows exactly ''what'' Charlie is, other than the fact that he has both human and Celestial blood. He is born without wings, though Amenadiel believes that he can go from Earth to Heaven and back and he is eligible to become a King of Hell, a position only angels can apply. On the other hand, in season five he catches a cold and freezes when Amenadiel's time-stopping power activates, both things Celestials are immune to. This ambiguity is not helped by the fact that when God is asked by Amenadiel if Charlie is mortal in "Family Dinner", God merely replies in his typical NonAnswer ways, "It would seem so."
