Character: Satan Canon: Obey Me! Current Canon Point: Lesson 41 New Canon Point: Lesson 80 Updated Background: Not too much has changed for the background portion as most of the events that went on affected other characters and he was mostly an observer. The most important arc in Lessons 41-60 (season 3) was the Bogeyman arc. To summarize, two of his brothers (Leviathan and Mammon) released the Bogeyman into the world. In order to subdue it, all seven brothers, the player's character and Solomon (human sorcerer) try to corner it in a room. They go into the room one at a time and the Bogeyman transforms the room into each brother's greatest fear. For Satan, the scene is of an angelic Lucifer reminding him of his origins. Initially, it looks like Satan is the one who destroys the Bogeyman, as it does disappear. However, a small bit of it remains and it's actually Lucifer who finishes it off for good. In order to allow Satan to feel accomplishment since he did do a lot of the work on his own, Lucifer refrains from sharing the truth with Satan.
Satan had a much bigger involvement in Lessons 61-80 (season 4). For the first half of the season, Satan spends his time trying to succeed in pranking Lucifer. There's a brief interlude where Lucifer and Satan have an explosive argument off-screen which culminates in Satan finally making good on his promise to run away from home. Satan asks permission to go to the human world, gets it, and sets up camp in a hotel that Lord Diavolo owns while he cools off. When Mammon, Leviathan and Asmodeus go up to the human world to bring him back home (and also to do some human world shopping), they figure out that Satan left home because he felt that Lucifer was belittling him. Satan had been responsible for completing student council paperwork and Lucifer had done it for him. This made Satan feel like Lucifer was treating him like he was a part of Lucifer rather than his own person. Eventually, Lucifer comes to get Satan himself and explains that when he said it didn't matter which one of them did the paperwork, he meant that Satan's work is just as good as his own and nothing more. Satan finally cools off and agrees to come home.
Toward the middle the season, the player's character is invited to formally join the brothers on the student council. In order to join, the player's character must complete three tasks (a task-focused game, a test of physical endurance/wit and a puzzle/mystery based task). The player's character is put up against the brothers plus several transfer students, forming teams of three. Satan's team has Asmodeus and Beelzebub on it, two of his brothers, and they work fairly well together, although Satan's expectations for his team are sky-high as he does, after all, want to beat Lucifer.
Ultimately, the player's character wins and joins the student council. During the competition, Satan and the others notice that Simeon (angel transfer student and former brother) isn't using his angelic powers/blessing. Out of concern for their former brother, Satan and the others start plotting various schemes to get Simeon to spill the beans about what's going on with Satan leading the charge on this.
To force Simeon to tell the truth, Satan acquires an illegal copy of Dictionary of Applied Magical Potions and uses it to brew Verbum Drops, a potion that would force the affected person to tell the truth or suffer side effects. In what is quite possibly the stupidest moment of his life, Satan asks Beelzebub, the Avatar of Gluttony, to monitor the brew while Satan steps out for a moment.
The end result is a Dark Crevasse that ends up sucking in Mammon, Leviathan and Asmodeus while also affecting another demon, Barbatos, who was able to free the three brothers from the Dark Crevasse. Over time, the three brothers end up experiencing various side effects - from the other brothers forgetting Leviathan and Mammon's names, to Asmodeus losing his reflection, and ending with the three of them becoming completely invisible (and later intangible for Leviathan).
The player's character works together primarily with Satan and a newly (well, properly) introduced demon Mephistopheles, to not only help the player's character complete their final task but also to destroy the Dark Crevasse that Satan was more or less responsible for making due to his negligence.
By the end of the season, the player's character becomes a member of the student council. Simeon also finally discloses what's been going on with him while the Dark Crevasse is eliminated - Simeon is no longer an angel and therefore has no angelic powers. He's completely human as a consequence to stealing Lucifer's ring back from Michael in the Celestial Realm back in season 2.
Updated Personality: Satan goes through a couple of emotional highs and lows. While he kept his anger contained fairly well in seasons 1 and 2, by season 3 Satan mellowed out considerably. This was partially due to him finding such catharsis in being around cats. In season 4, though, he takes a step backward in terms of how well he has a handle on his anger. Throughout seasons 1, 2 and 3 he only transformed into his demon form out of anger a handful of times. In season 4, there's a period of time where he transforms into his demon form virtually every lesson for half the season. He has less of a handle on his anger and goes from 0-100 more quickly than before, sometimes even when Lucifer isn't involved.
His insecurities regarding his birth have a light cast on them, too. While it was briefly addressed in season 3 with Lucifer assuring him that Satan was his own person, season 4 made it clear that Satan didn't entirely believe him. He's still very sensitive about the nature of his birth and continues to have difficulty believing that his brothers care about him because he's himself, rather than his brothers care about him because he is or was a part of Lucifer.
When working together as a team, whether with his family or with outsiders, Satan is adaptable. His competitive streak continues, and he loses his patience when his team members aren't up to snuff or don't take the competition seriously. Some of this was touched on before in non-canon side stories, but this time it's cemented in the main story itself.
Any other updates: Nothing in particular. Just more general knowledge on potions and other demon abilities since a year or two has passed in the Devildom.
Questions/Other: If Satan had a book (aforementioned Dictionary of Applied Magical Potions) but it was, uh... destroyed before his new canon update... I'm going to assume that's not something he can bring with him. If not, would he be able to use a bauble to get it or would he just be out of luck?
