Also known as The Evil One, Satan appears in numerous stories, sometimes as both narrator and character at the same time. The nearly universal presence of evil as objectified in Satan attests to its importance in both Yiddish language and folklore. He is both narrator and participant in Zeidlus the Pope, The Destruction of Kreshev, The Unseen, and The Last Demon. Satan takes many forms from human to animal and evil spirit that inhabits a human body.
