nevermind, I realized it was TV Tropes - I don't frequent it sadly.. however I skimmed the forum you talked about and it seems most are agreeing he's a CM by the standards of the show.

One of the biggest factors is this: he's a vastly intelligent, cunning and deliberate antagonist in a series where most of the antagonists are either flawed or misguided in some sense, save for some criminals and so forth who are just violent and nasty.. Satan however is, as I mentioned, like an "anti-angel.. in the show angels are humanity's brethren and caretakers, they are capable of flaws like everyone else but try everything in their power to make life a bit better for everyone.. Satan is humanity's enemy and tormenter, he has flaws but simply blames God instead of himself and tries everyhing in his power to make life miserable, not because he particularly needs the evil to survive or that he "can't understand good" but because he's just a cosmic anomaly : an evil creature in an otherwise very complex creation (where few are "good" or "bad").
