Which incarnation are we talking? We got the serpent in the garden, we got the roving monitor of Job, Lucifer the rebellious angel, the Temptor of Christ, the roaring, devouring lion, the Beast. Depending on your flavor of theology, we may have great differences of definition.

Exactly.  Most people loop Satan, Lucifer, and the Devil together.  Satan's Hebrew name "ha-satan" means the accuser or adversary so it is just strange that people think the entity who opposes and tests mankind is something else.

What’s interesting to me is the ha-satan’s seeming position as such at the behest of God. Job is a fascinating study.

Yep I often think Satan is the prosecuting attorney role for God's law.  Satan might also be represented by the older brother in the prodigal son story.
