Satan is odd if cruel (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lucifer

'satan' is the definition.
(I know that satan can be written as Lucifer)

'odd if cruel' is the wordplay.
'odd' indicates anagramming the letters.
'if'+'cruel'='ifcruel'
'ifcruel' is an anagram of 'LUCIFER'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for lucifer that I've seen before include "Light" , "striker" , "Rising star" , "Rebellious angel; a match" , "Match - Satan" .)
