The Shadow, who comes into the story from time to time and is more evil than Lilith, if possible, but incorporeal to the point that Mr. Vane rides right through him (by God's help) in one scene, is the representation of Lucifer in the novel Lilith, and probably also in Phantastes, although he plays a different role in the latter. There's a comment, late in the book, to the effect that in the end (but not likely before), even the Shadow will be redeemed.
