Prior to the start of the series, Lucifer’s history covers a time period spanning millennia. What we do know is this: sometime before the birth of humanity, Lucifer was born as the angel Samael. He rebelled against God and was subsequently barred from heaven, and banished to Hell to serve as it’s ruler and warden - a job Lucifer despised. As such, he would take frequent trips - or ‘holidays’ - to Earth, where he would enjoy his breaks from hell with lots of sex, hedonism and general enjoyment of whatever interesting thing Earth had to offer. Usually, this trips would end with his brother Amenadiel dragging him back to Hell. This changed in 2010, when Lucifer helped Amenadiel find his lost necklace in exchange for a favour. That favour was to not take him back to Hell. So, along with the demon Mazikeen, Lucifer made his holiday permanent and decided to start up a club, Lux, in LA.
Several years later, after his former employee was murdered outside the club, Lucifer met Detective Chloe Decker. It didn't take long for him to be intrigued by her, as she turned out to be immune to his desire manipulation abilities, and - as he found out later - also had the ability to make him physically vulnerable with her presence. So naturally Lucifer decided that the best way to indulge his curiosity was to start following her around on her cases, and worm his way into the LAPD as an official civilian consultant. He also met Dr Linda, and decided to take up therapy when she proved to be rather insightful. But, as all this was happening, Amenadiel was still trying to get Lucifer to return to Hell. He arranged for Lucifer's severed wings to be stolen, and resurrected dirty cop Malcolm to try and kill Lucifer. An act Amenadiel came to regret, but Malcolm continued to cause problems - and as events came to a head, he kidnapped Chloe's daughter Trixie, and shot Lucifer when Lucifer followed them to the confrontation. Dying, Lucifer made a deal with his Father: resurrect him, and he would do what God wanted. After a strange, ambiguous vision, God granted Lucifer's request, and he returned to life in time to deal with Malcolm before he killed Chloe and Trixie.
Having received that mysterious vision, Lucifer - with Amenadiel's help - starts trying to fulfil what he thinks it meant God wanted him to do: find his Mother, who had escaped from Hell, and bring Her back. However, She found him first, and Lucifer found himself questioning both their long estrangement and whether taking Her back to Hell was what God really wanted. He decided that what he would instead deliver her a punishment: to live, on Earth, as a human in a mortal body. This decision turns out to have ramifications however, when Uriel, another one of Lucifer's brothers, arrives on Earth. Uriel doesn't just want their Mother in Hell, he wants her wiped from existence entirely, and he threatens Chloe in an attempt to get Lucifer to tell him where She is. Lucifer refuses, and in the scuffle he kills Uriel - and act that causes him to spiral into self-destruction. It's only when he makes a brief return to Hell and becomes trapped in a cell, and his Mother comes to get him out, that he realises that he didn't have a choice in the matter. At the same time, his Mother has been trying to get Her, Lucifer, and Amenadiel back to Heaven - something Lucifer does not want to do. She tries to manipulate his relationship with Chloe to do this, driving a wedge in their growing relationship by telling him that Chloe is a miracle and owes her existence to God. Not wanting any part in her plans, Lucifer plans to get her and Amenadiel to Heaven and then remain on Earth, but they never get the chance to enact this plan, because the Goddess's divine body becomes too much for Her currently human body to contain. Nearly about to explode into light, Lucifer instead sends Her to another universe - where she won't see her family, but also won't start any wars that risk more deaths.
Almost immediately after these events, Lucifer is unexpectedly knocked out. He then wakes up to find himself alone in the desert, his devil-face - as he learns later - now gone and his wings mysteriously regrown. He soon becomes fixates on finding out who was responsible. And eventually he does find out - it was Marcus Pierce, the new Lieutenant, who also turns out to be the first murderer, Cain. Cain, cursed with immortality, had wanted to know if Chloe's ability to make Lucifer vulnerable could work on him as well, and needed Lucifer out of the way while he got in place. Discovering this, Lucifer decides to make a deal: he'll try and find a way to help Cain die. But later, for the first time ever, he decides not to follow through, because Cain's attempts to die end up putting Chloe at risk. Things with Cain also become more fraught when Cain and Chloe end up dating, after Lucifer proves to be unable to properly express his own feelings. After Chloe breaks things off with Cain, Cain tries to frame Lucifer for killing Amenadiel, but kills Charlotte instead. In the process of solving her murder, events lead to a showdown where Lucifer ends up killing Cain - leading to the return of his devil-face, and for Chloe to witness it.
Lucifer is then left in a kind of limbo, as Chloe reacts by disappearing for a month without any word or contact. When she returns, he's unsettled by the fact that she seems strangely okay with him being the Devil. Soon enough though, the other shoe falls, and it turns out that Chloe had been plotting with a priest from Rome to try and send him back to Hell, believing it to be best for Lucifer and for the world. While he and Chloe are on the outs, an old flame - Eve, the first woman - appears on the scene. With Eve showing race acceptance of him in a trying time, Lucifer ends up unintentionally falling into a relationship with her. He and Chloe also manage to patch things up, but their relationship is still uneasy, and he's torn between the angel Chloe wants him to be, and the Devil Eve wants. He ends up breaking up with Eve, after realising that he doesn't like who is he with her, and he loses control of his Devil form as he spirals into self-hatred. It's only after Chloe helps him realise he needs to start forgiving himself that he manages to get back to normal.
While all of this has been going on, another notable event has been happening - namely, that his brother Amenadiel managed to get Doctor Linda pregnant. And right after his nephew Charlie is born, Eve - desperate to try and get Lucifer back - calls demons to Earth so they could take Lucifer to Hell, and she could be his Queen. When Lucifer lets slip to the demons that he has no intention of going back to Hell, the demons take things into their own hands and try to kidnap baby Charlie - a half-angel - to be their new king. Everyone bands together and manages to get Charlie back, but Lucifer realises that the demons will always be a threat as long as they have no King, and returns to Hell.
