And I am sure it will STUN you to know I found a page annotating how Gaiman broke things down in Sandman. Satan = Azazel, Azazel and Beelzebub work for Lucifer, and why am I not surprised your canon and Gaiman have similar rough premises about how things work down there, even if they disagree about who's in charge?
(Hi. I've been on a Gaiman kick lately. Does it show?)
They might not. Canon is VERY VERY twisty. They've even got Chronos having sided with the gods eventually and joining them as advisor.
The one thing they mention is that the different demons are represented by jewels. Beal's was the sapphire that Fiona wears on occasion. Lucifer's is (waits for Karla to bust out laughing but it works differently in this verse ^_^) diamond.
For all we know, Lucifer was power behind the throne. The Infernals all agree that he is definitely the most dangerous of their lot.
Also, as mentioned, there's always Amberflaxus, Louis's cat who is an unknown variable but he was willing to bargain away a very powerful weapon for him by the end of the book.
...also, Gaiman 'kick'? He is a lifelong addiction ^_^

True. But there are times when I let him sit on my shelf and just give him a friendly pat now and again so he doesn't get lonely (clearly a risk :-)), and times when I am randomly rereading Anansi Boys and Death: The High Cost of Living and grumbling about where my other Death mini got to. This? One of the latter.
I always liked the Elenium and Tamuli better. I read the Bel/Mal cycle after reading Belgarath and Polgara, and couldn't get beyond Garion being a WHINY AND UNGRATEFUL PRAT.
In my canon, the amount of power you have at your disposal depends on your Jewel rank. White is the least amount of power possible. It means you can do particularly complex parlor tricks.
He was the Gaiman/DC Lucifer and so very not caring about you silly little ants with thumbs. I even made a journal for him post-canon should the need arise!

Re: Specific Brainstorming
Yeah, I get it. ...me and Eddings, man. Me. And. Eddings. I pick up one and then there's me reading through the entire Bel/Mal cycle. *is such a dork*
Re: Specific Brainstorming
Plus, I hate children protags.
Re: Specific Brainstorming
...if anyone hates Belgarath, I stare at them like a staring thing because WHAT?
I like the Elenium and the Tamuli, but the Bel/Mal are closer to my heart.

Re: Specific Brainstorming
But I can see it!
Re: Specific Brainstorming
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Maybe a black diamond or something.
Lucifer wearing the White. That kills me.
Re: Specific Brainstorming
He IS an angel still, you know.
Re: Specific Brainstorming
Hee.
Re: Specific Brainstorming
Niiiice. God, this makes me wanna bring Lucy on back.
Re: Specific Brainstorming
Karla's always up for conversations about how you people don't know what you're talking about and that her Uncle Saetan's a great guy.

Re: Specific Brainstorming
I'm a dork enough to have an entirely new journal for Lucifer post-canon now.
