Lucifer (pronounced: /ˈluː.ki.fer/, italianised as /ˈlu.t͡ʃi.fer/ and anglicised as /ˈluːsɪfər/) is a stellar genius that embodies the planet Venus as the morning star. Lucifer is the son of Aurora and Astraeus, and he sired a daughter with Jana called Aradia, who is usually depicted as a Messianic figure and a primordial witch. Over time his roles, names, aliases, titles, powers, and relationships absorbed entirely into his twin brother Vesper.
