That does kind of sound like him. [Or maybe Belphegor. Or both. Lucifer chooses not to mention that.]
I take it he was incredibly chained up at the time? It's been a few centuries, and while he's still the avatar of wrath, he's no longer... usually taking it out on others. Just me.
[A very very tiny head bow.] Please do not hold it against him. The process by which he first came here was excruciatingly difficult for him. We are all trying to use the pain of that time to make it smoother for others. I am not asking you to trust demons, not even myself, simply leave any grudges against him, to me to deal with. I take responsibility for all my brothers here. Even Mammon. [Though there isn't enough grimm in existence nor places to hang Mammon from to "fix" that particular problem.]
He is, as you said: incredibly clever. Fond of books, especially detective novels, cats, curse magic, traps, and one of the most powerful demons of all time. [Not as much as Lucifer, who also sees Satan like a baby, but you know parthenogenesis is weird. Lucifer also half expects now would be the absolute worst time for anyone to overhear that near gushing. "Proud papa," he can already hear the teasing.]
He also never cleans his room and can frequently forget to return favorite books to the library, because they got buried under the ones he's bought, not to mention the hundreds and thousands he downloads daily. [From proud papa to mother hen in new record timing!]
