Is Satan pure evil? Or can some good things come out of Satan?
If anything good, please name one.

He's not so bad. But he does fart in bed which gets annoying.

Well Satan never killed anyone in the first parts of the Bible and according to Jewish tradition, especially illustrated in Job, Satan was a angel that led people to enlightenment by subjecting them to trials. The concept of him being "pure evil" has evolved throughout the years and if anything in inverse proportion to the way God has gotten less vengeful and more loving.

The devil -satan- is illusion.
There is only one good thing that can come from that. When you see how messed up you get playing around with illusion - if you don't lose your sanity in the process - you finally realize that it is a waste of energy and so then you can make the choice to try to undo the mess you've made of your life.
That's a good thing.
It is too bad that most of us lose so much time and build so much negative karma by messing around with illusion. Most of our life can pass without getting clear about it. Time goes by so fast - it is unfortunately only too easy to fritter away a whole lifetime and be worse off than when we started when the time comes to shed the shell and fly away.

Lucifer, aka the Devil, is latin for "Light-Bringer"
He was God's head angel before he defied God. for the sin of Hubris, he was cast out of heaven after an attempted coup.
He is not "pure" evil, but he has become evil away from the influence of God. According to the Christian Faith, God IS pure good.
One good thing that comes from The Adversary is an appreciation of good, for if you do not know suffering, you cannot appreciate good.
Also, many people get newfound faith after being tempted.
Note that, as an atheist I don't believe any of this.

According to the Christian mythos, Satan was Lucifer. In other words, he was an angel and by nature good.
I suppose now though he would be the Disney villain, with no redeeming values.

He is not pure evil, nor is God pure Good.
It is humans that make the difference

There is no such thing as The Devil. He is as real as Mickey Mouse.
