Satan is a cherub, a winged creature the most beautiful creation God has made, to stand watch over God at his throne with his wings spread. Satan got jealous of every one praising and glorifying God ,
He got an idea to rebel and over throw God and got 1/3 of the angels to join him .He is working on the souls of the people on earth also to turn away from God and the truth . He will never ask for forgiveness he thinks he will win.But once Christ returns it will be too late.Sent to hell with all the other non believers.

The devil did not ask for forgivness b/c he wanted Heaven for himselve and he went up against God and he lost so he got Hell instead.

Dear Friend,
Because he is not able to, consider the following scripture:
Matthew 12:31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven
Satan knew that The Lord was the one true god, and had even seen, and was created by him. And he still denounced him.
A sin against the holy spirit, is when we know of gods existance but we deny him through thought and deed
God Bless

He was perfect! That means he went against his own will just to purposely mess up! That is why he doesn't deserve forgiveness even if he asked for it! He knew what he was doing!

Asking for forgiveness isn't enough - you have to MEAN it when you ask. The devil would never mean it, even if he said it.

Something imaginary cannot ask for anything. Read "The Origin of Satan" by Elaine Pagels. The 'devil' was made up by men.

Satan did not want forgiveness, he wanted what God had.
All of Jehovah’s works are perfect; he is not the author of unrighteousness; so he did not create anyone wicked. (Deut. 32:4; Ps. 5:4) The one who became Satan was originally a perfect spirit son of God. When saying that the Devil “did not stand fast in the truth,” Jesus indicated that at one time that one was “in the truth.” (John 8:44) But, as is true of all of God’s intelligent creatures, this spirit son was endowed with free will. He abused his freedom of choice, allowed feelings of self-importance to develop in his heart, began to crave worship that belonged only to God, and so enticed Adam and Eve to listen to him rather than obey God. Thus by his course of action he made himself Satan, which means “adversary.”—Jas. 1:14, 15; see also page 372, under the heading “Sin.”
Why did not God destroy Satan promptly after he rebelled?
Serious issues were raised by Satan: (1) The righteousness and rightfulness of Jehovah’s sovereignty. Was Jehovah withholding from mankind freedom that would contribute to their happiness? Were mankind’s ability to govern their affairs successfully and their continued life truly dependent on their obedience to God? Had Jehovah been dishonest in giving a law that stated that disobedience would lead to their death? (Gen. 2:16, 17; 3:3-5) So, did Jehovah really have the right to rule? (2) The integrity of intelligent creatures toward Jehovah. By the deflection of Adam and Eve the question was raised: Did Jehovah’s servants really obey him out of love or might all of them abandon God and follow the lead being given by Satan? This latter issue was further developed by Satan in the days of Job. (Gen. 3:6; Job 1:8-11; 2:3-5; see also Luke 22:31.) These issues could not be settled by merely executing the rebels.
Not that God needed to prove anything to himself. But so that these issues would never again disrupt the peace and well-being of the universe, Jehovah has allowed ample time for them to be settled beyond all doubt. That Adam and Eve died following disobedience to God became evident in due time. (Gen. 5:5) But more was at issue. So, God has permitted both Satan and humans to try every form of government of their own making. None have brought lasting happiness. God has let mankind go to the limit in pursuing ways of life that ignore His righteous standards. The fruitage speaks for itself. As the Bible truthfully says: “It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” (Jer. 10:23) At the same time God has given his servants opportunity to prove their loyalty to him by their acts of loving obedience, and this in the face of enticements and persecution instigated by Satan. Jehovah exhorts his servants, saying: “Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me.” (Prov. 27:11) Those proving faithful reap great benefits now and have the prospect of eternal life in perfection. They will use such life in doing the will of Jehovah, whose personality and ways they truly love.

He wasn't humble enough. He wanted power and control, not to be reconciled to God.

because he thought he was better than God and so did the angels, and if look at the human race they too think they are better than God.
