[153] Valentino

Valentino is a sinner demon and one of the many Overlords of Hell. He is the director and head of the porn studio within V Tower, and a member of the Vees. He is also the owner and boss of his films' star, Angel Dust, whom he has under soul contractual obligation. Valentino is a tall, slender, somewhat muscular and broad-shouldered moth demon with lavender skin and lacking pupils and irises in his cerise-pink eyes, over which he is always depicted wearing gold-rimmed, heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise lenses. His mouth is full of sharp, cerise teeth with a single golden fang that sits to his far left of center, a feature he shares with some of his employees like Angel Dust. He also has a long cerise tongue. Valentino's stature is tall, estimated to be around 10 feet, which he emphasizes with long black heeled boots. He has fluffy white neck fur with small red love-hearts that plumes up from his coat's break-line. He is bald with moth-like antennae; the right appearing like a large white with black heart-striped feather while the left appears smaller and lacking the white areas. He has an extra set of arms just above his hips. All four of his hands and forearms are black with a stripe, mimicking black gloves, while the upper halves are his normal skin color. He has a pair of large red moth wings that features zebra print fur outlining the edges, while the interior is darker colored with several heart designs. These wings are usually wrapped around his body to form a floor-length coat with white fur at the wrists, as well as black-and-white-striped fur trim down the center-front to the bottom hem, and three white stripes on both hips with a heart shaped design on the back. This coat is pinned with a gold chain and gold love-heart shaped broach fastening at the breast. He also has heart-shaped nipples colored in a darker shade of his skin tone, with gold piercings and a chain hung from them. Valentino wears a red top hat with a wide, asymmetrical zebra-printed hat-band, in which his antennae poke out like feathers. Under his coat, he wears a chest-exposing dark grey shirt with rolled-up sleeves that are held together by two gold buttons, alongside white dress pants held by a black belt with a golden love-heart shaped buckle, and a pair of high-heeled black boots. He wears a gold chain necklace hung down to his chest, gold arm bands on his lower wrists, each hand having one gold ring, and sometimes gold nail guards on his fingers. Valentino wears fishnet stockings under his coat. Valentino used to have both his antennae look identical, both like large white with black heart-striped feathers. He didn't have his sunglasses and gold fang, and his coat didn't have fur on the wrists and the outline wasn't fluffy. He wore a red fedora with a zebra print band, and white pants with a pink belt that had a gold heart-shaped buckle. Valentino has been described as being charming and roughly as level-headed as his fellow Overlord, Vox. When he interacts with Charlie in his studio he acts cordial around her while struggling to hide his anger and irritation that he would prefer to take out on one of his employees instead, such as Angel Dust. He does, eventually, show off his real behavior after some time. Valentino uses his charming persona in order to lure other demons into working for him, and Valentino admits to spending much of his time in nightclubs, picking up demons and offering them "jobs" at his studios, with him hiding his more violent and psychotic behavior in order to convince them to willingly "work" for him. Valentino is depicted as being controlling, abusive, and narcissistic, specifically towards one of his star employees, Angel Dust. He also displays sadistic tendencies, appearing to take enjoyment in overriding Angel's consent, and remains seemingly unbothered by the trauma he is inflicting. Valentino is frequently surrounded by a collection of the girls who work for him. He is ostentatious in displaying both his profession and status. Valentino has been described by Angel to be a "psychopathic freak". He has a reputation of throwing massive tantrums when one of his "whore" employees disobey him. Because of his temperamental side, he throws objects and rips other demons apart when he is angry, and he doesn't think about how his actions affect his and the Vees' image to where Vox had to explain that "chasing whores around town" will "fuck up" their "image". Once he calms down, he is more pragmatic and fully aware of possible negatives to acting too rashly. On the other hand, even he has his limits. He is shown to hate racism. As a Sinner, Valentino is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when he died, thus can not die of old age and other natural causes. He also cannot die from any kind of damage to the body, and will recover from any injury, however, he can only be permanently killed with angelic weaponry. Valentino's strength appears to be greater than the average demon, being able to slam a door so hard a cupboard can get knocked down, and is able to tear demons into pieces with his bare hands, when Velvette recounts how he "tore up her best model", despite presumably not having any weapons on him. One display of his strength is when he ruthlessly physically abuses Angel Dust by choking him and slamming him around with a single hand. Valentino has a pair of moth wings shown to be able to produce powerful gusts of wind that can easily put out a large fire with one flap. These wings can cover his body to form his coat, or can be hung down like a cape. It is possible his wings can form coats of various designs. Valentino's eyes give off a faint red glow, particularly if he's in a dark room, and his teeth can glow when he's giving a sinister smile. His red saliva also glows, mainly when he's acting perverted. Valentino can multitask with his extra set of arms, such as holding his drink while he's decorating one of his guns. Valentino exhales a red, heart-shaped smoke from his cigarettes that could twist and form different shapes, entering the bodies of other demons, as Valentino directs it. However, a similar smoke is also present in a cigarette Angel smokes, indicating that this is both from a specific cigarette he owns and also a natural ability of Valentino. Valentino can produce a large amount of smoke from flapping his wings. Valentino can manipulate his red smoke into specific shapes that are physically solid, where he can form a chain and manacles to bind Angel Dust and show his dominance over him. Valentino is easily able to shoot a moving target with accuracy from a notable distance away. Valentino possesses a flamboyant and vivacious charm that allows him to persuade others of his authority. Valentino can fluently speak Spanish and English. Like all Overlords, Valentino amassed his power and influence by "owning" souls. The method he uses to accomplish this is by having his victims sign their souls away to his ownership through the contracts he conjures, as shown in his ownership of Angel Dust, where the latter had willingly signed his real name in his contract to "work" for Valentino. However, in some cases, there are loopholes that makes them untouchable under certain circumstances, such as Angel being free from him and his influence outside his studio, which Valentino apparently can't remove. It is possible for Valentino to willingly render the contract null and void and release Angel from his control if he chooses to do so. Valentino is a talented artist. There is also a portrait of Vox seen in Vox's office with Valentino's signature, suggesting he painted the artwork. Valentino has shown to be a good singer and exceptional dancer, being able to performing a duet and dance with Vox. Valentino has a collection of guns, such as a pink and zebra print revolver called "Moneyshot", and a gold and black half pistol. He sometimes decorates them with glue, gemstones, and glitter. Valentino is an Italian name, meaning "brave or strong". It can also mean "a ladies' man", which is fitting considering his status as a pimp. It is likely also a reference to the word "valentine", which is near synonymous with love in many places. Valentino was Hispanic when living. Valentino may have died in the 1970s. Valentino is pansexual. Valentino wishes he could visit the Lust Ring. Valentino owns a customized Robo Fizz that he calls "Kitty". Sometimes while Valentino speaks, he makes squeaking sounds like a moth. He sometimes switches between an American and a Hispanic accent when he is in the middle of a mood swing. According to Angel Dust, Valentino's eyesight is so bad that he once spent a half hour counting a "stack" of bills, unaware there were only three in his hand. The fur collar around Valentino's neck is an actual part of his body. He can feel from it. Within the characters' Voxtagram accounts, Valentino was depicted in a romantic on-again off-again relationship with fellow Vees member, Vox. One that appeared, at times, to be verbally, physically, and psychologically abusive on his end. The two sometimes are found dancing in a provocative and romantic nature, along with making out at the end implies they are dating. Valentino was depicted in his Voxtagram posts as owning a creature named Queef, which he kept as a pet before killing it with a gun for annoying him. His saliva is cerise pink like his eyes and tongue. According to the contract Angel Dust has signed that gave Valentino ownership of his soul, Valentino can only "Do whatever he wants" to Angel within his porn studio, giving Angel some measure of freedom when he is outside of it. Given that Angel formerly lived in the studio with Valentino, this can possibly be the real reason to Valentino's anger. Judging by the numerous posters of Valentino posing nearly naked with his guns, it is possible Valentino may have partaken in some form of acting himself. Valentino is from Florida.

V Tower is a tall tower with pink-tinted windows surrounding each layer. On the top lies a satellite dish, which is how Vox broadcasts his media. It is decorated with red glowing LED lights, which also surround the top layer. The symbol of the building resemble 3 Vs, referencing the group that inhabit the tower. The middle and bigger one represents Vox, the left represents Valentino, and the right represents Velvette. In the middle of the main V, there is a sign in the shape of lips. The rest of the layers have LED rings surrounding the roof, the color going from cyan, red, and magenta from top to bottom. Valentino's penthouse is on one of the top floors. The room is full of posters of Valentino and one has a wall-wide window on one side. There are two couches with Valentino's icon across them around a rug with a circular table, and with is a television opposite a couch. Located in a nook in the wall is a desk that has four monitors and an old photograph of Valentino and Vox. Around the room are numerous potted plants, and there is a cabinet full of Valentino's guns with another a poster of Valentino. There is also a staircase leading up to a second floor. The porn studios resembles the V Tower's hallways, and has plants along the walls, as well as several posters of the Vees and Angel Dust. There has been multiple sets and backgrounds depending on the porn Valentino films. There are also two known dressing rooms; one on the same floor as the main studio and a dressing room upstairs with a balcony overlooking a small indoor garden.

Velvette is a trendy, powerful Overlord, one of the "Vees" alongside Vox and Valentino, who controls Hell's social media, fashion, and trends, acting as the stylish backbone of their trio with a youthful, tech-savvy, and sometimes callous personality, using her phone and clothing manipulation to assert dominance and control, often displaying a modern, almost dismissive attitude towards older Overlords. She died in the early 2000s and uses her social media influence and doll-like aesthetic to her advantage.

Vox is a charismatic, tech-savvy Overlord, the "'God' of Media," leading the Vees with Valentino and Velvette, and serving as Alastor's primary rival, seeking to control Hell's information flow and undermine Alastor's influence through media manipulation, technology, and propaganda, ultimately revealed as a ruthless narcissist who rose from a murderous human TV weatherman, obsessed with fame, power, and destroying the Hazbin Hotel and Charlie. — Valentino is NOT Alastor.
