Satan, which means "the Accuser", is the primary antagonist of the faithful in Abrahamic religions.
In the Hebrew Tanakh, what Christians refer to as the Old Testament, Satan's role is that of a judge of mankind. He is not a fallen angel but one of the heavenly host who, true to his name, acts as an accuser, akin to a prosecutor in a courtroom today. In apocryphal Jewish texts such as the book of Enoch, Satan did indeed fall from heaven for being jealous of God's creation of Adam and Eve.
In Christianity, overcoming his temptation is the goal of believers and his defeat will signal the coming of paradise. In Islam, he is referred to as Shaitan.
Satan also appears as an optional boss in Digital Devil Saga 2, and is a high level persona in the Persona franchise. In Personas 2 and 3 he is half of the pair needed to cast Armageddon, an instant-kill move.
Satan appears in many games, often as a final boss or last encounter. Otherwise known as "The Devil," Satan appears in Western religion as a tempter that leads the faithful astray.

Satan made an appropriately metal appearance as "Lou," for the final Boss Battle in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. He is also featured in the "storyline" of the career mode for Guitar Hero III. He first appears as the agent that signs your band to a label, and also freeing your band from prison, and takes your band on a whirlwind tour. Eventually, when you're famous enough, you tell Lou that you don't need him anymore. It's at this point that he turns out to be Satan himself, and he challenges you to a guitar duel for your soul!Satan games
