Don Gomez de Castro (second sequence)
Satanás es un ángel caído que quiere agradar a Dios. Pero el Señor lo condena a vivir entre los hombres para tentarlos permanentemente; cada vez que provoque la condenación de un alma, la propia condena de Satán se alargará un milenio. En cambio si llega a hallar a un alma capaz de resistir sus tretas, logrará un mérito a su favor
