It should also be noted that the Canaanite god Shahar, god of dawn and one of the many sons of El, was also described as the Morning Star. I think I once read that Attar was sometimes identified as being Shahar's son.

The connection between Satan and Lucifer was always rather weird since as you said Lucifer referred to a Babylonian king, most likely Nebuchadnezzar II, and it was only later theologians that identified Lucifer with Satan by extension. At one point even Jesus was occasionally called by that epithet. However, there is indeed a Canaanite story predating Judaism of a god revolting against El in a fight for supremacy and being forced into the underworld after he failed, and this god was variously identified with the Morning Star.
