Welcome to the madhouse!

With reference to your comments, don't forget that Satan, before he 
fell from heaven, was Lucifer (the morning star), the chief and first 
of all the angels.

Tolkien uses a similar idea in the Silmarillion. Sauron's master 
Morgoth (the Black Enemy) was a fallen Ainu, originally Melkor (He 
who arises in might).
