I know the Bible mentions it, but I know there are other texts that do as well. I have heard that Jewish texts are far more informative about Angels and their past...I just would like to know more, The Bible is spare in it's detail.

Unfortunately, what you are referring to doesn't exist.
Lucifer is a mistranslation in Isaiah. Lucifer is actually a LATIN word (the old testament is written in Hebrew) which means Light-bearer. The Hebrew word Halel is translated to Day-star.
The reference in Isaiah is about a babylonian king who had tormented the Hebrew people for a very long time, and the story is about the king's fall, not Satan or Lucifer.
In Jewish belief, (and this is ancient as well as modern) Satan is not the enemy of God. He is actually in God's employ as the one who challenges you on your spiritual walk to help you grow.
He is NOT a fallen angel.

Charles Williams (one of the Inklings, the writers' group that JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis also belonged to) works with these themes in several of his novels. His was a superb and insightful theologian and one of the best writers the English language has produced.
You'll probably have to make some effort to find his writings, but they are well worth it.

Read your bible. Satan thought that he could exalt himself above our Almighty Most High God, and convinced 1/3 of the angels in Heaven to follow him! God gave him and his angels the boot. God then created Hell for the devil and his followers as eternal punishment for them. Hell was not created for men. It was only after man sinned that man could be sent to Hell.

Paradise Lost by Milton borrows much from those texts and is easier to read. You might like selections from apocrypha literature. It is widely believed the angels were borrowed from Zoroastrian beliefs.
Dante is good. Kabbalah or Zohar research might be enlightening. My favorite angel is Metatron.
