Why is Satan protrayed differently in book of Job as opposed to later medieval views to his relation to Hell and Rebellion? How can these concepts be juxtaposed with other religions view of an adversary or a main bad guy? Feel free to ask and/or answer and add to the questions as needed.
P. S Quoting and introducing any non canonical bible book or other religious sources are welcome!

This a big subject. Seems God went thru changes with Jesus, in that, he wasn't as devilish as He was in the OT.
And Satan went thru changes in the opposite direction, from a high ranking son of God, and in his inner circle counsel, to the Satan that temps Jesus in the wilderness, and to entering into Judas to betray Jesus. Then in Revelation a dragon, old serpent, the Devil, and Satan.
That's quite a devolution.
