The Devil

Smooth-talking and debonair, the Devil claims the rights to Sam's soul thanks to a deal he made with Sam's parents before Sam was even born. Although he knows how it all ends ("God wins"), he is determined to do as much as he can to oppose God until the end. He convinces Sam that he (Sam) is doing good by clearing the world of the escaped evil souls. While firm at times, the Devil has never expressed outright anger, in spite of Sam's frequent complaints and meddling (convincing the Devil's girlfriend to break it off, and souring a deal with a musician who would have sold his soul). He has extreme supernatural powers and often teleports an unsuspecting Sam to locations that serve to exemplify whatever subject he wishes to speak with Sam about. He also has a habit of providing Sam "motivation" in catching escaped souls, usually by informing him that someone just died due mainly to Sam's inaction - a habit which generally gets acceptable results. He is nigh-indestructible, as demonstrated when he invited a frustrated Sam to take several swings at him with an aluminium baseball bat; not even flinching as the blows landed without effect. When dealing with humans unaware of his true nature, he uses the pseudonym "Jerry Belvedere," as seen in his dealings with Mimi Hansen and Ryan Milner.
