Oh they super were, the whole 90s-00s era of malaise was all about a sense of vague Purposelessness. It's "oh no history has ended we don't get to be grand and glorious"

The big climactic thing in the Time of Judgment book for Demon: the Fallen was Lucifer finally having his big confrontation with this one pet Hunter he's been cultivating, posing as a friend and mentor, whom he thinks might be his last shot at getting a decent Antichrist

The big crossover thing with Demon and Hunter is that Demons need to use humans as a conduit to affect the world, how effectively they can use their powers is determined by the human's Faith rating And Hunters have the highest Faith possible for any human being

Humans as they were truly meant to be -- with the Messengers carefully obscuring this fact, nerfing their powers (the Second Sight, the Hunter Edges) so they think they're only there to fight the other monsters The second coming of the Solar Exalted

And so Lucifer is obsessed with the idea that if one of the Imbued (the "Bright Shiners") makes the fully informed and willful decision to commit to his cause, to be a vessel for Lucifer himself, he will be the most powerful human to ever live, the Antichrist

But, of course, the OG Christ was apparently put on Earth to cut off this possibility Lucifer's bitterness and rage that Christianity (along with the other major religions) was put on Earth by mysterious forces beyond his control to stymie and frustrate him Propaganda

He puts the Hunter signature character through his Last Temptation and rages out at him because they both fully know the tropes that they're playing into and Lucifer is losing his mind that the guy refuses to just change his framing

"And he took him to the mountaintop and showed him all the kingdoms of the Earth, right? That's the part we're doing now?" "That's what you think this is? You think this is a -- a *seduction*? An *offer*? Turn on the fucking news, what sane person would WANT to rule this world"
