'''Satan''' (from the Hebrew "ha-satan", "accuser") was a member of the [[divine council]] who rebelled against [[God]] and was cast from [[Heaven]] to reign over [[Hell]], where he leads a host of fallen angels (or [[demon]]s).
Satan's goal is to lead people away from the love of God, by tempting or tricking them. The only sources of supernatural power in the world are from either God (good) or Satan (evil).
Satan is able to possess and control living humans on Earth, although priests are able to [[exorcise]] his influence.
In the [[New Testament]], Satan tries to tempt [[Jesus]] in the desert, and fails.
