[Laurence is actually smiling as he says this. It's genuine, too; his 'Welp, the holiest man in the world right now is an atheist and I'm okay with this' smile. Yes, this has happened more than once.]
He was once Helel. The Lightbringer, a Seraph, an Angel of Truth. It is said that he grew jealous of humanity, that for them to be elevated over angels was an insult to his pride; and this is why he rebelled. Fell. Became the first Balseraph, the first Liar.
Angelic opinion is - divided, as to the ways in which Humanity was favored; I think that God's first gift to them was free will, and his greatest gift was made manifest in a fellow you may have heard of, Joshua of Gallilee.
[This implies that Laurence does NOT think he has free will. It's meant to.]
...Michael once told me that Lucifer offered command of the entire rebellion to him. He's ashamed that he even considered it.
