Amenadiel (Lucifer)

"Your return to the underworld has been requested!"

- Amenadiel

"I'm just realising the gravity of what you're saying. That even if you don't choose hell all I have to do is wait for some pityful thug to end you, and right back to hell you go! You hadn't put that one together, did you, Lucy? You just made my millennium"

- Amenadiel to Lucifer, realising how to get him back to hell Amenadiel is a major antagonist in the television series Lucifer. After his brother Lucifer had enough from ruling hell and moved to Los Angeles, it fell to Amenadiel to take Lucifer's place in hell. Unwilling to shoulder that burden, Amenadiel tries to make Lucifer return to hell but Lucifer ignores him. Although Amenadiel at first only urges Lucifer, he eventually devices more sinister plans to bring his brother back to hell.

He is portrayed by DB Woodside.

History
He has been sent to the earth to convince Lucifer to return to hell, visiting Lucifer in his club but to no avail. He tries to use Lucifer's companion and friend Maze, a demon who is fed up with earth and would rather return to hell with Lucifer, to bring Lucifer to return but Lucifer finds out and has a falling out with Maze. After this plan fails, Amenadiel returns to earth in the shape of a human and gains the trust of Lucifer's psychiatrist to find a weakspot of his brother.

Lucifer and Amenadiel team up at one occasion to get back Lucifer's wings which have been stolen. During that time Amenadiel finds out that Lucifer's time in the human world has made him mortal. Realising that this would mean Lucifer would return to hell in case of his death, Amenadiel gleefully tells Lucifer that he just "made his millennium".

Knowing that Lucifer would return to hell should he be killed, Amenadiel devices a different plan which involves the corrupt police officer Malcolm, who had been shot while meeting up with some gang members and fell into a coma for months. Once it is decided that Malcolm wouldn't return, Amenadiel watched the hospital staff deactivate the instruments keeping Malcolm alive. After letting Malcolm have a good taste of how eternity in hell would feel like, Amenadiel revives the officer, much to the delight of the man's family.

He later reveals himself to Malcolm and tells him to kill Lucifer, otherwise Amenadiel would take the life back from Malcolm and he would be doomed to hell. Although Malcolm at first decides to enjoy the pleasures of his new life, Amenadiel eventually meets up with Malcolm, intimidating him enough to make him promise that he'll kill Lucifer.
