Any good recommendations other than this book (which looks like it might not be the best place to start…) where I might find a good start on how to tackle this?

Why trace the “original biography” of Satan back to the NT and not the pre-Christian apocalyptic works? The Christian view of Satan seems to be a conglomeration of Mastemaa, the other watchers et. al. I think all of this played into the Christian conception, directly or indirectly.
