Angels and choice.

To my understanding, humans are God's favourites. We're the ones that got the souls, got choice, and everything is designed for us.

Angels, on the other hand, are mere minions. Such as in Judaic/Islam belief, they have no free will.

My question: Lucifer/The Beast/The Devil/etc was an angel of God. If he had no free will, did God force Lucifer to defy Him? If so, why?

In the assumption that God is omnipotent/omnipresent/omniscious, why would He go through so much effort to create evil?

My understanding is that angels do have free will. Satan chose to rebel, he was once served God loyally. Those who fell, chose to fall.
