Lucifer...Who is he?

Was he created with a free-will? Or was He created specifically to rebel against God?

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?
Lucifer is actually a transliteration from the Latin Vulgate borrowed by the translators/editors of the 1611 KJV - there really is no individual with that name in the biblical account - The Satan is NEVER referred to by this title. Milton also popularizes it in Paradise Lost, books 3-4 - Christian's have, unfortunately, bought into the "myth". You might read Calvin on this issue - Isaiah 14.

Respectfully,
John
