Hello Edward. Not a lot is written in the Scriptures about the angelic host of Heaven, in as far as their creation & 'daily' life. But they do serve God & do His Will in a variety of ways.
In Ezekiel 28:12-17, we read about the King of Tyrus but also note certain things mentioned there that cannot apply to him alone (e.g. having been in Eden, a cherub, etc.). Generally, we understand that Ezekiel is speaking of that spirit that filled & drove him. Satan was not only of the angelic host but also a cherub (one appointed to be around God's Throne). So their 'traits' would have been impeccable, with holiness & purity being their endowment. But with all created beings (angel, man or animals), the power of choice & decision are also given or else we would be no different than a pre-programed machine.
To be like the Most High became Satan's desire, maybe realising some of the power & wisdom of God that he also held. And so entered sin, his downfall & those angels that were likewise deceived, so infected by this lie. And this same lie he gave to man that he too might be equal to God; which we see today amongst those who don't submit to the living God but believe they're their own god, some trying to subjugate others to their deception & folly.
Satan was indeed perfect in every way until iniquity was found in him. He should have arrested his thoughts but his lust for power exceeded his love & worship of his Creator.
