He's pretty cool. Pretty chill. Wants us to be cool and think about things rationally. Also doesn't threaten to wipe us all out for not worshipping him right
In what way did Lucifer/Satan punish or "prosecute" God's authority? That would have been Michael, Gabriel and the other angels that bore God's wrath upon man.
Lucifer was a fan of Man, leading us to the Tree of Knowledge so that we rose above being merely God's favorite pet. He test Jesus, gave him the opportunity to be his own man, and not go into his Father's business of keeping Men blind and stupid.
It isn't prosecuting God's authority, it is prosecuting and accusing mankind based on God's laws. This is of course my conjecture based on the name "ha-satan" being accuser/adversary along with the first chapters of Job where Satan reports to God then proceeds to accuse Job. Also Jesus' temptation in the desert is not very empowering he questions Jesus' identity twice and then asks him to bow to to Satan. I don't see where you see that as an opportunity that's good.
Not sure where you are getting the Lucifer being a fan of man, do you have a writing that you can point to that says that? Remember, Satan, the Devil, Lucifer, and the Serpent are not necessarily the same entity. Also, there are the fallen angels described in the Book of Enoch that could also be in the picture, namely the fallen angel Azazel. All this to say, none of these entities seem to show beneficial attitudes to mankind. Instead, they seem to be using mankind as a pawn in their own purposes.
