The '''Devil''', also known as '''Satan''', is in charge of [[Hell]]. [[Ned Flanders]] is sometimes the Devil <ref>[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]</ref><ref>[[Treehouse of Horror XVIII]]</ref>. However, the real Devil lives in Hell. He was once [[God|the Lord's]] most powerful angel but he was cast out from Heaven with a whole army of angels after he transpired to become a god. He often appears in visions or dreams. Whenever [[Montgomery Burns]] has a near death experience, Satan tries to get Burns there, but continually fails.

The narrator for ''Behind the Laughter'' said that ''The Simpsons'' had been started on a wing and a prayer, but now the wing was on fire and the prayer had been answered by Satan. Satan was then seen dancing and laughing next to a fire.<ref>"[[Behind the Laughter]]"</ref>

The Devil is also responsible for all evil in the world, as he influenced humans to commit evil acts from the beginning - most notably in [[Simpsons Bible Stories|Eden]] and is still influential today in the government and the media. He is the one behind all crime in Springfield, (and the Earth as a whole) being the one who drove men such as [[Russ Cargill]], [[Fat Tony]], [[Sideshow Bob]], and [[Mr Burns]] to committing their evil acts. He is currently imprisoned in Hell, but an ancient prophecy says that he will be released from his prison to destroy the Earth with his army of demons at the End of Time.

When [[Homer]] went to Hell, he was given noogies by the Devil. When Homer started screaming, the Devil told him to be quiet or he'd wake up [[John Wayne]].<ref>"[[Treehouse of Horror XI]]"</ref>

His influence seems to be particularly strong in Springfield, as many villains seem to flock its streets, and he seems to have enforced his will on the residents themselves, as many are greedy, selfish, extremely capitalist and/or Republican. However, some townspeople seem to outright oppose him - some including [[Reverend Lovejoy]], [[Ned Flanders]], and [[Lisa Simpson]]. Their efforts to oppose the Devil come to nothing, however, as in the Apocalypse the Devil sends all his armies onto the Earth and reduces Springfield to Hell. He eventually claims the Simpson family and imprisons them all in Hell.

[[Marge]] asked [[God]] why he couldn't just put everything back the way it was. God said that he could, but the big man downstairs wouldn't like it.
