You can always just look them up in a dictionary....
The Devil, Satan, Lucifer are all one. Lucifer was the name of an angel that rebelled to God wanting more power and took 1/3 angels with him and was expelled from heaven etc.
I have no idea who damian is...
Hades is the ruler of the underworld in Roman mythology.
Death refers to the Angel of Death, Grim reaper etc. The Angel of death was to kill all first born children as the 10 plauge of Egypt.

I think death serves God.

Yes the devil does have archdemons. They arnt talked about much in the Bible. None come to mind atm...
Or they're different versions of basically the same thing, you'll also find them in names of various thigs. example: Hadeon era (The time when Earth was very volcanic).

Biblically speaking, it really isn't personified in servitude to anyone, (unless you consider it a personified form of Spiritual Death serving the Devil which I have not found mentioned) but it usually means two things. Death itself is just an event that happens where one's physical body ceases to live and his or her soul leaves the physical body and goes on to the afterlife of Heaven or Hell. Spiritual Death (which is commonly referred to in the New Testament) represents the punishment by which humans are eternally separated from God.
"
Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him."
-Romans 6:9 NKJV
"
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel"
-2 Timothy 1:8-10 NKJV
As you can see, in the New Testament, Jesus Christ is commonly said to have defeated a personified form of "Death." However, what it's actually saying is that Christ has come and saved His people from Spiritual Death.
Heres the archangel heirarchy. Lucifer was the seraphim before archangel Michael but he was cast out of heaven because he refused to worship humans.
"Better to rule in hell than serve in heaven"
-Lucifer

Deadly stuff we are talking about...
Devil is more like a general term refering to an evil person or a thing.
Satan is obviously the god of the underworld and the hell in Christian/Catholic beliefs.
Lucifer is the damned angel who have falled into trap and become a devil.
Hades is the god of underworld for Greek myth. He is not an olympian though.
Death is obviously the term that refers to a time when a person dies or runs out of life.

He is the brother of zeus. How is he not an olympian?

I think theyre talking about the grim reaper aka death.
Hades isn't an olympian because too many gods took over and no seats were left for him. Also, he has to guard the underworld for good. So he can visit the Mt. Olympus. So I think the Olympians are Zeus, Artemis, Poseidon, Hera, Hephaestus, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Hermes, Athena, Demeter, and Dionysus. You can click here for the information you need. But this is getting off topic.
Death, or Grim Reaper is the humanization of the term death by Europeans. Just stuff to know. Really nothing to do with religion. i thought that the devil was lucifer who was cast out of hevan into hell also known as hadees and he went under the name satan and i meant the grim reaper by death. (im not sure if hes in the bible) but i thought he served the devil to to the mythology of him working as a feryman or is that someone else? and lastly i thhought Damian was the son of the devil. more than anything i want to know if he has archdemons and what there names are. since several others were casst out with him i have to guess they were nearly as strong as him since they were all equals at one point. im also guessing they had names.
You forgot to add Tazzy

Here are the names of the angels who were cast out of heaven with Lucifer, in answer to the question up there somewhere:
Seraphim:
* Abaddon
* Asmodeus
* Astaroth
* Leviathan
* Samael
* Semyazza
Cherubim:
* Azazel
* Beelzebub
* Berith
* Lauviah
* Marou
* Salikotal
And many more angels of lower rank including Mephistopheles, Mammon and Moloch.
Isn't this all made up though?
Maybe, or maybe it's all real and they're mad at you right now and are planning to grab you in your sleep, drag you to hell, and torture you until eternity ends. [/sarcasm]
A lot of these names were used later in books or games; I know Moloch and Abaddon from a video game and Beelzebub is used as the devil's helper in the book 'Wish List', while I think I remember the term 'Sepharim' being used as a combo in 'Kingdom Hearts'.
If Satan is an archangel, then he's substantially weaker then 'god', and thus they're not rivals as I have believed..
Is there a reason why no one destroyed them?
Well God banished him to Hell, and I'm pretty sure he was only an angel.
Satan was not an archangel by the way (they're quite low-ranking), he was a Seraphim.
I'm not too familiar with angel ranks, but I think Seraphim is top. Maybe he could have challenged God. This is all legend though - it makes for interesting reading but is probably fiction.
hmm any information on Damian? i just remember him from The Omen (old one.. 1978 i think) what is he?

nah, hades and satan aren't the same people. two different religions, but they serve somewhat similar roles for the 2 religions. Also hades isn't always considered evil if iamb rembering correctly, just most of the time.

Badass. This would make such a good storyline for a starcraft rpg. hmmm
i think they're just different religion interpretations of an evilish figure, an idea created by us humans...probably saying things who'd you meet after death or of that sort. probably greek's and people that believe in greek mythology would think Hades is the devil/underworld figure...while people that believe in god, devil/satan(i think they mean the same)...
well that's what i think, but i wouldn't know much about the origin of where those figures came from...i just think they are dark/evil figures of people...
May i point out that the underworld in greek mythology isnt the equivalent of hell and hades isnt evil. Hes just bitter about ruling the underworld while his brother Zeus rules Mt. Olympus and Poseidon rules the Seas.
There are regions of the underworld that serve as heaven and some that serve as hell.
Simply different names for the same entity described as ruling the underworld. Death however is the "Angel of Death" which is described as a being who guides a soul to the underworld, also called the Boatman.
What I know is that Hades was a god created by the Greeks. Hades isn't another term for Lucifer.
