Lucifer wants to lull our will so that we tear ourswelves apart from the mission of the Earth and its Future. Ahriman takes hold of our thinking. When people have a dull mind because of drugs or an atavistic disposition (trance, hypnosis, etc.), ahrimanic beings take hold of our unconscious will, and their thinking become our thinking. At one level, the person becomes sensuous and intellectual. It can become worse and jupiter-beings may incarnate in him, and there he is misguided into seeing others as things, and means to an end. The demonically inspired though is much more intent on pure destruction and hatred leading to vicious murders or abuse. Lenin and Trotsky were inspired by Jupiter-men in their unconscious. their thinking waw of an alien nature, alien the earth. it comes from another world. Here Cs would talk about the predator mind. Steiner would talk about Ahriman or ahrimanic beings. The activity of the asuras is making itself more manifest and ever-increasing, so it leads to suicides, pure will to destroy, fragmentation of the self through torture techniques developped leading souls to the eighth sphere and their torturers/killers being lead to demonic possession.
Sorat is most high, but one can say, the most high of the ahrimanic order. He is Sun-Demon, rank of the Exusiai/Elohim.
Ahriman himself is lower than Sorat. Asuras are of the Archai rank, Ahriman is of the Archangel rank, and Lucifer is of the Angel. All these are fallen ones of their angelic level.
Michael opposes Sorat, but ultimately it's Christ that opposes the Beast. Michael also opposes Ahriman or Mammon.
Christ said: have no worry, for I have conquered this world. (My Kingdom is not of this world)
Ahriman is the King of this world.
Christ/God : Ahriman/Sorath
that said, it does not etll much to know what being is called by which name, and to which angelic hierarchy it belongs.
I would suggest to read this introduction to the knowledge of Evil according to anthroposophy:

But in this same epoch human beings will have to battle against attacks of the Luciferic and Ahrimanic [Satanic] powers that will be stronger than those launched in the days of Greek and Roman culture. Again in this later epoch the aim of the Luciferic and Ahrimanic powers is to alienate the souls of men from earthly life on the one hand, and on the other so to mechanize earthly life itself, to make its outer form so entirely mechanistic, that it would be impossible for the ego of man to live in the social order of the Earth. He would therefore take leave of it to enter a life apart from the Earth upon a separate planet [the Eighth Sphere]. [2]
Yet it behoves us to know that the enemy is wont to counterfeit this salutary advent of Christ [i.e. the Second Coming, which is not a physical event] with cunning fraud in order to deceive the faithful, and in the place of the Son of Man, who is looked for as coming in the majesty of his Father, to prepare the Son of Perdition with prodigies [3] and lying signs, that instead of Christ he may introduce Antichrist into the world....

Unless we mend our ways, unless our republic ceases doing what it has been mostly doing during the recent four years, we are indeed at the very edge of a chasm of ruin and despair such as has been unknown to today's globally extended European civilization since the great New Dark Age which wiped out half the parishes of Europe, and one-third of the level of its population, during the middle of the Fourteenth Century.
