Well, Enoch explains that the Watchers descended in the days of Jared, and in that portion referred to where Gadreel is named, there are other names which can only be evil spirits, or "satans". That is also a remnant with a part missing, which I suppose will turn up someday.I always assumed Gadreel was a Watcher and this was describing some post-Edenic temptation and sin for Eve.
In the Word, Abbadon/Destruction is a satan in charge of Sheol, and he got that authority when Adam fell, and not before, for the entire creation was perfect and there was no first death -separation from the Glory- or corruption of the flesh of all in which is the breath of life, before Adam fell.
That there is a chief of the satans is plain [Prince Mastema =prince of the satans, in Hebrew}, and that he has a host of evil angels created for him to reign over and they are in heaven and have control over earth but not unless God gives them permission, is the doctrine of Enoch and the OT.
In the OT, they are called "evil spirits" and they are in heaven (and still are), and they have their authority only from God the Creator to do what they do, because of the fall of the first, firstborn son of God (Luke 3:38), who was given the rule over it all -and lost it...
I totally believe that Genesis 3:15 is where the Chief Satan and his host of evil angels got the authority to curse this creation with the corruption of all flesh [eating dust =corrupting all flesh, in which is the breath of life], and "going belly of earth" -Sheol did not exist until that time, and it burst out in the belly of the earth, right then and there, and the chief over it is the satan/evil spirit named Abaddon/Destroyer and he is the satan who is the king of Sheol, and will be, until the end of that "first death", when it is cast into the Lake of Fire in the regeneration of all things. The Hebrew is translated badly because of the loss of the Book of Enoch, for so long in the western world, methinks.
God uses the evil angels to curse, and they do His will:
Psa 78:49
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
