Satan has a free will, a choice, like you and me.
He was one of the Chiefs, aka archangels, but he wanted more.
He wanted to usurp God's throne; was kicked out of heaven with 1/3 of millions of angels (now called demons and/or evil spirits)

The hot potato topic is still a mystery to many, incl me.
Still learning about it; but its true & real.
(Take a look at the images on the roof or walls of temples or shrines)
Here are many notes. Pick one.
The Story of Lucifer- How Did He Fall and Become Satan? - Christianity
https://www.christianity.com/.../how-did-lucifer-fall-and-become-satan-11557519.htm...
Sin originated in the free will of

Lucifer, son of the morning! ....

Several modern

Satan/
Lucifer as an angel who
