Haven't God and Satan canonically always existed?

In some stories, demons (and Satan/Lucifer, their leader) were fallen angels - those who rebel against God and were cast out. This supposedly predated humans, and also means that Satan was God's creation, like all other angels.

So Satan's existence is Biblically fairly recent?
