One of my favourite devils is Lucifer from the movie Constantine just for the fact he is almost the opposite of what you would expect the devil to be. He comes to earth wearing a white suit and being very soft spoken but still having a commanding presence and is also the kind of person that fulfils his end of an agreement.

[@inncubus666]

That is the Lucifer Morningstar one from DC too.

[@goji253]

As Inncubus said that is literally because the character was based on the exact same Lucifer talked about in here. Just like with anything else in the movie, they paid amazing homage to some parts of the characters, but completely fucked up other parts (like the actors they cast, that looked nothing like the characters, not to mention Constantine was bloody American) Don't get me wrong, it's a nice movie. But it becomes horrendous when you remember the comics it's based on.
