In the beginning, there was a Civil War where Lucifer and his friends rebelled, failed, and fell from Heaven. The demons re-organized themselves elsewhere in the spirit world. They called their new territory "Hell."
As part of the - quite fragile - truce between Heaven and the newly sovereign Hell, Purgatory was established as a buffer and everyone agreed to leave Earthly matters alone. Note: none of the divine powers respected this clause. Still, things were more or less peaceful... then Jesus of Nazareth taught humans how to get to Heaven, and the truce literally went to Hell.
The warmongers St Peter and METATRON have overthrown Jesus; no one can find the Archangel Michael (or his army); Lucifer is leaving Hell out of either protest or boredom, and he's named Joan of Arc heir apparent...yes, that Joan of Arc. She goes by Jean.
Forces gather on both sides, as Heaven looks to block Jean's ascension and the rising matriarchy she represents.

the stuff that occurs in the spirit world (Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory) tends to manifest on Earth.
note: the mapping isn't always one-to-one. for instance, Lucifer once sneezed while peeing, accidentally came to Earth as zombie-Rasputin, and set in motion a chain of events that led to World War II.
(zombie-Rasputin was gross)
