Was he created with a free-will? Or was He created specifically to rebel against God?
Created with free will just like man was.

I realise we can only speculate as Scripture is not clear, but has anyone (other than me) ever wondered this?

I realize about the only scripture we have to go on are the statements "I WILL" but is it possible He created for that purpose?
Read through James chapter 1. There is no possibility of God sinning or being the author of sin. Satan was created good just as all God's creatures were. But he was created mutable like us. And he made the same sinful choice we did. But we are shone mercy. Give thank to the Lord for he is good, his love endures forever!
