From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Accuser
     Satan is styled the "accuser of the brethren" (Rev. 12:10. Comp.
     Job 1:6; Zech. 3:1), as seeking to uphold his influence among
     men by bringing false charges against Christians, with the view
     of weakening their influence and injuring the cause with which
     they are identified. He was regarded by the Jews as the accuser
     of men before God, laying to their charge the violations of the
     law of which they were guilty, and demanding their punishment.
     The same Greek word, rendered "accuser," is found in John 8:10
     (but omitted in the Revised Version); Acts 23:30, 35; 24:8;
     25:16, 18, in all of which places it is used of one who brings a
     charge against another.
