Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste.
~ The most iconic line of the song.

Lucifer, also known as The Devil and better known as the Man of Wealth and Taste, is the villainous main protagonist of The Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil", from the album Beggars Banquet.

Biography[]

Lucifer initiates the song by discussing his many crimes throughout the duration of human civilization. During Ancient Rome, he had compelled Pontius Pilate into condemning Jesus to death.

Thousands of years afterward, Lucifer arrived to what would become St. Petersburg when the Romanov family was still in power. Seeing that Russia needed a change of leadership, the Man of Wealth and Taste orchestrated the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and 1918, climaxing in the deaths of the Romanov family.

He later played more key roles in history such as World War II. Lucifer also mentions having enjoyed the scent of the decaying bodies of those killed on both sides of the massacre.

Despite these events, Lucifer changes the direction of the song by wondering why mankind deemed him "evil" when mankind was equally guilty of horrendous actions. He reaffirms himself as being a sophisticated gentleman who demands respect from the listeners of the song, lest he lay their souls to waste.

Trivia[]

  • The line "I shouted out 'Who killed Kennedy?'" was changed to "Who killed the Kennedys?" in reference to the death of Robert F. Kennedy on June 6, 1968.
  • While he claims to have influenced the death of Jesus most scriptures dictate that the death of Jesus was already a divine prophecy, thus this particular claim is likely Lucifer's pride, claiming to have a larger role than he truly had in the matter. Either way, he takes great pleasure in the prospect that even Jesus can have a "moment of doubt and pain".
