Lucifer was the King of Hell and an enemy of Etrigan the Demon.
History
Deal with Merlin
At one point during Lucifer's reign over Hell, it had come to his attention that Etrigan the Demon had begun attempting to climb up the ranks of Hell, killing many powerful demons. As Lucifer pondered what he would do about this, he was visited by his son, the powerful sorcerer Merlin. Merlin suggested a solution to the problem that would benefit both of them. Lucifer accepted his offer and sent Etrigan to Earth, where Merlin was able to bond him to Jason Blood.[1]
