Cain, better known as Marcus Pierce and the Sinnerman, is the secondary antagonist of Lucifer.
He appears as the unseen final antagonist of Season 2, the main antagonist of Season 3, the posthumous overarching antagonist of Season 4 and a posthumous antagonist in subsequent seasons.
He was an ancient immortal who was secretly a powerful and feared criminal mastermind, hiding under the disguise of a police lieutenant. While originally wanting to end his eternal life, his love for Chloe Decker convinced him that life has a meaning and that he wants to be with her, starting a conflict with her partner Lucifer Morningstar, both before and after realising who Pierce really is.
He was portrayed by Tom Welling.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He murdered his brother, Abel. While Abel was apparently a jerk that also wanted Cain dead, it doesn't justify anything.
- For whatever reasons, he decided to become a criminal mastermind known as the Sinnerman.
- He forced a boy that has been his friend since he (the boy) was a child into becoming his right-hand-man and decoy.
- He ordered some of his men to kidnap Lucifer Morningstar so he would be out of the way while Pierce was trying to get closer to Chloe Decker, hoping that she could kill him, as the Devil himself bled once close to her.
- He had a suspect killed because he had connections to him.
- Send one of his men Lieutenant Herrera, so he could get more information on the demon Mazikeen.
- He ordered one of his men to shoot him while around Chloe in hopes of dying.
- He kills his decoy because he came close to telling Lucifer the truth.
- He threatened to shoot and kill a man if Amenadiel won't admit he was the one that gave Pierce his mark.
- He fought with Amenadiel because he gave him the mark.
- He tried to manipulate Chloe's feelings so that she could fall in love with him and potentially make him mortal again.
- In an attempt to get Lucifer out of the picture so he could be with Chloe, Pierce tried to kill Amenadiel and frame Lucifer for it, forcing him to return to Hell, as well as give Pierce his immortality back.
- He made Maze team up with him to kill Amenadiel.
- After Maze tried to leave Pierce's side and protect Amenadiel, Pierce threatened that Maze's friend Linda will be hurt if she tries to do it, before injecting her with a syringe, knocking her out and leaving her to be kidnapped by his men.
- He tried to shoot and kill Amenadiel, which ended in the death of Charlotte Richards once she took the bullet.
- He tried to frame Lucifer for a crime to get him out of the picture, knowing that if Lucifer will be let loose, he won't give up until Pierce is dead.
- He send his new right-hand, John Barrow, to kill Daniel Espinoza.
- While he does love Chloe, he still says himself that if she gets in his way of staying alive, Pierce will have to hurt her.
- He tried to kill Lucifer.
- His actions have a major effect in Season 4: Ella loses her faith in God, Dan becomes a jerk who blames Lucifer for everything again, Lucifer regains his devil face and Chloe finally finds out Lucifer is the Devil.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He genuinely loved Chloe, no matter what, to the point that's why he wanted to stay alive, because he finally found something worth to live for.
- He regretted killing Charlotte, and his guilt of the murder was ultimately the thing that condemned him to Hell, as in Lucifer, people are condemned to Hell for feeling guilt about something.
- He ultimately fails the Heinous Standards as characters like Jason Carlisle or Julian McCaffrey did worse with more or less resources. That said, he still has a major effect on the series and has a more personal relationship with the heroes, so it's still enough to be on this wiki.
