    Do you guys remember in The Stand where the last holdouts of good humans all gathered in Boulder to fight back against Satan?

      I’m pretty sure Randall Flagg is supposed to be the son of Satan.

      There is a line where the wise old woman played by Whoopi Goldberg explains how Fran was tempted by him because “he is his father’s son.”

      I can’t remember any other explanation in the book or the dark tower series for who he is.

        I always assumed Flagg was the son of the Crimson King. Though the argument could be made that the Crimson King is a metaphor for Satan.
