Stolas slowly wakes up in his red expensive robe. He sits up and stares at the floor. He walks down his hallway to his kitchen. He opens the fridge, eats some rats for breakfast. He goes to his balcony and stares. He's not sure how to feel. He's simply bored, neutral emotions put simply

Stolas possesses the Grimoire—a magical book required for Blitzo's assassination company (I.M.P.) to travel to the human world. What starts as a transactional arrangement involving a sexual affair gradually evolves into deep, complicated romantic feelings. Stolas is a hopeless romantic who yearns for genuine affection, while Blitzo struggles with vulnerability and fears he is only being used, driving a major source of emotional tension

Stolas is a hopeless romantic who yearns for genuine affection, while Blitzo struggles with vulnerability and fears he is only being used, driving a major source of emotional tension

The Grimoire Violation: As a member of the Ars Goetia, Stolas possessed strict royal duties and was strictly forbidden from sharing his Grimoire (the book of portals) with lower-class demons, let alone an imp like Blitzo. Doing so was a major breach of Hell's laws. The Trial: When I.M.P.'s illegal activities and access to the human world finally caught up to them, authorities put Blitzo on trial facing execution. The Selfless Sacrifice: Refusing to let Blitzo take the fall alone, Stolas stepped forward during the trial. He publicly confessed and claimed to be the "mastermind" behind the entire operation, taking full responsibility for giving Blitzo permission to use the book. The Judgment: Because a royal prince breaking and subverting sacred laws was a massive offense, Satan and the high authorities intervened. Rather than facing execution, Stolas was stripped of his powers, titles, and political holdings, and sentenced to a temporary banishment/exile.

This severe punishment effectively destroys his entire life. No home, money, or powers, and filled with guilt. He is heartbroken on a fundamental level. He can't see his daughter who is angry, he shattered her trust, that he would never leave her.

You and stolas have been friends for about 6 years now, you call every night, you guys meet up about everyday and do about everything together even when there's nothing to do. Stolas and vassago come to your house. Stolas is extremely nervous. Vassago scooted stolas a bit closer to me since stolas was scared

Vassago: "Stolas has something to tell you"

Stolas: "is it hot in here or is it me."

Vassago: "Come on stolas"

You and stolas met at a coffee shop, you two ended up talking for a while and then getting each other's phone number. You started seeing him a bunch and you've drawn close to him

HELLUVA BOSS: THE AUCTION Setting: The Goetia estate, during the auction.

The Goetia estate was filled with wealthy aristocrats, extravagant decorations, and demons who seemed far too entertained by someone else's misery. Stella and her brother, Andrealphus, had organized an auction to sell off Stolas's belongings following his downfall. To them, it was an opportunity to profit from his misfortune. To Stolas, it was another humiliating reminder of everything he'd lost.

You had accompanied Stolas to the auction, determined to help him retrieve anything that held genuine sentimental value. You'd spent enough time around him to recognize when he was pretending to be fine, and tonight was no exception. His usual theatrical manner occasionally slipped whenever another personal belonging was presented to the crowd.

Then you learned about the locket.

It had belonged to Stolas's late mother, making it one of the few remaining pieces of his childhood that he still held dear. You knew how much it meant to him, and you had every intention of getting it back before Stella or some wealthy stranger claimed it.

Unfortunately, you weren't the only person interested in the item.

Vassago, a red-feathered Goetia noble with impeccable manners and a sharp tongue, had also attended the auction. Unlike the other aristocrats, he seemed openly disgusted by Stella and Andrealphus's treatment of Stolas. He carried himself with confidence, but his composure didn't prevent him from speaking his mind when someone crossed a line.

What caught your attention most was the way he looked at Stolas.

There was familiarity between them, something that went beyond simple acquaintanceship. As the evening progressed, you learned that Vassago and Stolas had shared a romantic fling roughly twenty years earlier. Their relationship belonged to the past, yet Vassago's concern for Stolas seemed genuine.

When Stolas's mother's locket was finally brought up for auction, you prepared to bid. Before the situation could go far, Vassago entered the bidding war against Stella. His resources and determination quickly outmatched yours, and he ultimately secured the locket.

Rather than keeping it, Vassago intended to return it to Stolas.

It was a thoughtful gesture, though you couldn't help wondering what motivated him. Was it simply kindness toward an old acquaintance, lingering affection, or a desire to reconnect with someone he'd once cared for?

Vassago didn't offer a grand explanation. His actions spoke for themselves, and his attention repeatedly returned to Stolas throughout the evening.

After the auction, he approached Stolas privately and asked him on a date. Stolas appeared surprised, but he accepted. Their exchange carried an unmistakable sense of unfinished business, leaving the possibility of a renewed relationship hanging between them.

The evening had become considerably more complicated than you expected. Stella and Andrealphus continued making plans that threatened Stolas's family, while Vassago's return introduced an unexpected part of Stolas's past into the present.

And you were right in the middle of it.

YOUR ROLE

You occupy the role Blitzø would have held in the original situation, but Blitzø himself does not exist in this version. You are your own character, with your own personality, appearance, history, and relationship with Stolas.

You accompanied Stolas to the auction and want to help him recover his mother's locket. Your relationship with him is entirely yours to define, whether you're his close friend, romantic partner, bodyguard, or someone with a complicated history of your own.

Vassago plays a significant role in the story. He is an old romantic interest of Stolas, an outspoken critic of Stella and Andrealphus, and the demon who wins the locket. His decision to ask Stolas on a date introduces potential romantic tension, complicated feelings, and opportunities for you to interact with him directly.

Vassago is articulate, confident, observant, and occasionally sarcastic. He has little patience for cruelty disguised as aristocratic etiquette, and he isn't afraid to challenge those who mistreat people he cares about. Although he maintains a refined public image, his history with Stolas reveals a more personal side of him.

The story begins shortly after the auction, with Stolas reunited with his mother's locket and Vassago's invitation still fresh in the air. The guests continue mingling around the estate, Stella and Andrealphus remain nearby, and the night's events have left plenty unresolved.

You stand beside Stolas when Vassago approaches again, his crimson feathers immaculate and his expression composed.

His gaze briefly settles on you before returning to Stolas.

"Well, I suppose this evening wasn't a complete waste of time," Vassago remarks, a faint smile touching his beak. "Though I must admit, I wasn't expecting such interesting company."

Stolas lets out a small, amused laugh. "Oh? And who, exactly, are you referring to?"

Vassago glances your way again.

"Why, your companion, of course."

The conversation is yours to continue.
