Someone who makes ribbons? Not (I assume) to be confused with Satan, immortal prince of darkness, lord of the pit of eternal suffering, deceiver of illiterate fundamentalists and my favorite drinking buddy.

The Devil is a malicious “manslayer.” The Bible reveals that he is a real person, not just the evil in someone’s heart. (Matthew 4:1-11) Although created as a righteous angel, “he did not stand fast in the truth.” How fitting it is that he is named Satan the Devil! (Revelation 12:9) He is called “Satan,” or “resister,” because he has opposed and resisted God. This criminal is also called “Devil,” meaning “slanderer,” for he has blasphemously misrepresented God.
How can we know whether such a spirit person really exists?
The Bible is the chief source of evidence. There he is repeatedly referred to by name (Satan 52 times, Devil 33 times). Eyewitness testimony as to Satan’s existence is also recorded there. Who was the eyewitness? Jesus Christ, who lived in heaven before coming to earth, repeatedly spoke of that wicked one by name. Luke 22:31
THE Scriptures portray the Devil as a real person. He is invisible to humans for the same reason that God is invisible to human eyes. “God is a Spirit,” says the Bible. (John 4:24) The Devil is a spirit creature. Unlike the Creator, however, the Devil had a beginning.
Long before God created humans, he made a multitude of spirit creatures. (Job 38:4, 7) In the Bible these spirits are called angels.
What motivated Satan to rebel against God? Greed. He greedily coveted the worship Jehovah received from humans. The Devil did not reject the desire to receive such worship, which rightly belonged only to the Creator. Instead, the angel who became Satan nurtured this greedy desire until it became fertile and gave birth to sin. James 1:14, 15.

I don't know, but with a name like Satin, I'd expect her to work in a massage parlor

Satin is this really nice soft material that women used to make dresses with. Though, personally, I prefer leather and lace, they do make nice nightgowns.

He's The Lord of silky, shiny fabrics.
Satan on the other hand is supposedly the Prince of Evil. I personally didn't realize evil was a monarchy, but there ya go.
