Who is Lucifer Morningstar in The Sandman?

The ruler of Hell, keeping score · The Waking World

Lucifer Morningstar (The ruler of Hell, keeping score) is a character in The Sandman, part of The Waking World. Lucifer Morningstar rules Hell with the perfect poise of the Almighty's most beautiful failure — and receives Dream's visit (a lord of stories, in Hell, asking for his helm back) as both insult and opportunity. The Oldest Game they play — reality-shaping, move and counter-move before a court of demons — ends with Lucifer holding the season's sharpest grudge and the series' biggest promissory note: what, the Morningstar muses, could make Hell worse? An open door, eventually. Endless trouble, guaranteed.
