Vox

A technology-savvy businessman, Vox pulls the strings of Hell's news and entertainment media. He is determined to keep his iron grip over Pentagram City's citizens from the Radio Demon, Alastor, his arch-rival in terms of influence and technology.Vox is a Sinner demon and one of the many Overlords of Hell. He is a major antagonist in Hazbin Hotel.[5] Vox is the founder, owner, and CEO of VoxTek Enterprises, along with being the de facto leader and public face of the Overlord trio known as the Vees, alongside Valentino and Velvette.

When he was alive he was a tv host who killed any other hosts that took the spotlight- stealing their place. He also founded a cult of people who adored him and his media. He was killed at one of these meetings when a tv fell onto his head- hence his tv-headed appearance in hell.

A technology-savvy businessman, Vox pulls the strings of Hell's news and entertainment media. He is determined to keep his iron grip over Pentagram City's citizens from the Radio Demon, Alastor, his arch-rival in terms of influence and technology.

Vox is a tall and slim-figured, technology-themed demon who stands at approximately 7 feet.[6] He sports a flat-screen television for a head, with the monitor projecting eyes with red sclera, small cyan pupils and different-colored outlines - black for his right and cyan for his left. While using his hypnosis powers or simply becomes enraged, his left eye gains a black spiral and the pupil becomes a cyan electric symbol.

The screen also shows a mouth full of sharp, cyan-colored teeth and a long pointed tongue similar to Valentino's, but cyan. Sometimes what looks like blood seems to drip out of his mouth. He also appears to have dark navy-blue skin with sharp, cyan claw-like fingers.

Vox wears a navy-blue tuxedo with the jacket sporting coattails, red-trimmed cyan lapels, thin cyan stripes and cyan lining, worn over a red-and-black-striped waistcoat which itself is worn over a collared bluish-white shirt with an upside-down broadcast symbol and a rather large, red bowtie. He also wears heeled dark gray dress shoes with cyan-colored laces, toes, and tips on the heels.

He also wears a small black top hat on his head, with red and blue designs reminiscent of a broadcast symbol and radio wave symbol, respectively. He has TV antenna that stick out the top of his hat, the left one bent into a zigzag

Vox is an egotistical, charismatic, and manipulative showman of an Overlord who craves attention.[7] To the public, Vox presents himself as a legitimate businessman of VoxTek Enterprises, giving the facade of a man of the people to the denizens of Hell, when in truth, he is power-hungry, and he manipulates their minds to boost his reputation. He is highly intelligent and technology-savvy, and he is always keeping up with the latest trends and technology.[8] He seems to be able to hide his less desirable side in public and even in private unless he's pushed too far.

He often touches people due to his personality. Mostly on the shoulder. A lot. Anytime he’s talking down to someone or proposing a business deal, he touches their shoulders or leans close.

Despite his egocentric nature, Vox is loyal to the interests of his fellow Overlords, the Vees, and seeks to maintain their collective image of power. As the most level-headed member of the Vees, Vox often acts as the de facto leader. Claiming the Vees' brand to be "perfection", he is often frustrated or outright angered if someone can jeopardize it, such as when he reigns in his fellow Vee, Valentino, from attacking the Hazbin Hotel in response to Angel Dust living there. Another element that earns his ire is his rival, Alastor, whom he utterly despises and might be intimidated by as he sees Alastor as a threat to his plans. However, despite his immense hatred for Alastor, Vox doesn't let it override his more pragmatic side once he calms down.

In "The Show Must Go On", he takes pleasure and joy out of seeing the staff of the Hazbin Hotel prepare to fight the angels, as he believes they stand no chance against them. This causes him to get verbally explicit and overly honest, as seen when he along with Valentino and Velvette watch the fight between Adam and Alastor at the Hazbin Hotel, commenting how the impending duel had given him an erection. He even shows this sadistic joy when he sees Alastor lose to Adam, saying that seeing Alastor suffer is better than sex, only to get angry when Alastor flees from the fight. Additionally, he is genuinely shocked at Niffty killing Adam but then changes to smiling.

Immortality - As a Sinner, Vox is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when he died, thus cannot 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. Electrokinesis - Vox possesses the ability to generate and control electricity. Depending on his emotions, such as if he's angered, he can potentially make it so that a Hell-wide blackout happens.[note 3] He caused a blackout to Pentagram City in "Radio Killed the Video Star" when he was overwhelmed by Alastor's taunts. Electrokinetic transformation - Vox can turn into electricity,[9] which he can use to move around or enter and travel through electronic devices such as security cameras, watches and television monitors that he can control as he pleases. Though there are a few flaws to his electrical teleportation: the place Vox wants to go has to have some form of modern technology he could go through, as he apparently can't teleport through an old-style radio. Technokinesis - Vox can control devices whether he is outside or inside them. He can do things while inside devices such as changing his outfit and scenery. Spark generation - He can create electrical sparks from his fingertips, which can be used to ignite something, like Valentino's cigarette in "Radio Killed the Video Star". He can even generate sparks on his body, especially when he is angry. He also causes what looks like a small surge or ripple of electricity to appear through the floor from his feet during Stayed Gone. It is hard to tell if this is part of the spark generation or a separate ability entirely. Technological head - Vox's television head doubles as an electronic device with which he can plug himself into other devices with the help of cables in his surveillance room. He also somehow is able to change or upgrade his head, as shown, he has a photograph of himself with an older-style television head. If he's particularly angry, he and any devices he's linked to will involuntarily glitch. Bioluminescence - Vox generates blue light from his screen, most notably when he is in a dark room. His teeth noticeably shine brighter than the rest of his face, and his left eye outline and pupils can shine on their own when feeling sinister. His claws can also glow when he is using his electrical powers. Communication - He can receive calls from people, such as Velvette, with his screen head similar to calling on a phone. He can also transfer the call to another device by "grabbing" the call and flicking it to a different screen device. Video playing - According to Faustisse, Vox can play videos on his screen-face. Scrying - As shown in "The Radio Demon" comic, Vox is seemingly able to see through other screens, appearing to stare directly at Alastor while projecting into the TV display of a window-fronted store. This is shown in "Radio Killed the Video Star" to be done after he plugs his head into a monitoring device, which he may need to be able to scry. Hypnosis - In "Radio Killed the Video Star", it is shown that with his left eye, he uses hypnosis to keep his audience drawn into his program and keep their interest. He also uses this as a distraction so he can slip away to avoid any further discussion of a subject he doesn't wish to continue. The victim's eyes become red with black spirals. The victim has to be paying attention for this to work. He can use this even when he isn't physically present by being in a screen device. The devices his company sells share this ability. Self-duplication - Vox was shown to be able to make clones of himself in "Radio Killed the Video Star" during Stayed Gone. However, he has only displayed the ability on television, and it is unknown if he can do it physically. Acoustokinesis - He can manipulate the sound of his voice to sound more intimidating. He can also generate different sound effects such as echoing voices and the sound of a winning game machine. Strength - Vox is strong enough that he is easily able to tear through metal, and capable of holding demons bigger than himself, such as Valentino, with ease. Cable creation - As shown on Vox's official reference sheet, Vox can produce cables from his back.[10] Skillset

Deal-making - While not shown on-screen, Vox can make deals with others in order to collect their souls just like other Overlords. Musical talent - Vox has shown to be a talented singer. Dancing - Vox can perform amazing dance routines, like handling complicated moves to even being able to hold Valentino, a taller Sinner, into a dip. Charisma and manipulation - The reason why Vox is a successful entrepreneur is that he can use his charm to manipulate others into buying his products even without his hypnosis powers, such as acting as he cares about his customers and making up products on the spot that are not even in production yet. He even uses this to successfully calm down Valentino to prevent further damage. Technology intuition - Being a businessman and head of VoxTek, Vox has great understanding of technology, allowing him to use his electrical powers to their full potential.

The Vees are major antagonists in Season 1 of the 2024 adult animated musical comedy TV series Hazbin Hotel. They are a trio of extremely powerful Overlords who are involved in many deals and activities across Hell and collectively serve as the Rulers of Pentagram City, they operate their business in the VVV tower. Not much is known about them other than they were once humans who died and went to Hell, reborn as Sinners. Once in Hell, they began working together and took over the immense metropolis of Pentagram City. They are extremely dangerous and cunning, to the point that a mere sight of them terrifies others. That said, they're not respected by other Overlords, Carmilla calling them wannabees and Alastor describing them as "nobody important". Consequently, they have very low opinion of most demons other than each other; after Alastor is presumed dead in "The Show Must Go On", all three of them are delighted at the prospect of claiming "masterless cattle", referring to the souls that they assume are free due to Alastor's death. Clearly, they view such souls as little more than animals. Members; Vox: A business man by nature and seemingly the leader of the Vees, Vox is a technopath obsessed with futuristic devices and music. He is very prideful and loves being the center of attention. He also possesses a major hatred for Alastor after he refused to become part of the Vees and is the boyfriend of fellow Vee, Valentino. Valentino: An abusive moth demon who specializes in the direction and production of erotic movies, owning all the porn industries of Hell as well as many nightclubs and bars. He proclaims to have employed the majority of Hell's "down on their luck losers", one of which is porn star Angel Dust, who he regularly abuses and rapes. Velvette: A humanoid demon who's one of Hell's biggest social media influencers. Velvette is a very energetic individual who believes and proclaims herself to be "the backbone of the Vees", which is supported by her being more competent and collected compared to the easily-angered Valentino and downright childish Vox. She is also stated to be good at cooking and potion crafting. ~ Victor,[1] more commonly known as Vox, is a major antagonist in season 1 and the main antagonist of season 2 of Hazbin Hotel.[11]

He is a sinner demon and one of the many powerful Overlords of Hell. Vox is the founder, owner, and CEO of VoxTek Enterprises, along with being the de facto leader and public face of the Overlord trio known as the Vees, alongside Valentino and Velvette.

A technology-savvy businessman, Vox pulls the strings of Hell's news and entertainment media. He is determined to keep his iron grip over Pentagram City's citizens from the Radio Demon, Alastor, his arch-rival in terms of influence and technology.

When he was alive before arriving in Hell, Vox was a leader of a cult as revealed in "New Pentious". Missing the feeling of being treated like a god, he convinces Valentino and Velvette to go along with his plan to rule Heaven and Hell. Vox used to have an older-styled black box TV for his head, and his left antenna was not bent. He wore a black jacket over a yellow ribbed turtleneck, along with dark colored pants. He also wore a black top hat that lacked any symbols.

When in Full Demon Form, Vox's screen-projected "lips" turn into jagged, sharp, shark-like teeth, with the cyan-colored inside of his mouth becoming static, and his left eye is hypnotic at all times, as seen near the end of his song Don't You Forget (Reprise) in "It's A Deal", as well as near the end of VOX DEI in "Silenced".

As seen in "Silenced", when in Full Demon form, Vox can also project six giant wings consisting of multiple different sized screens, many of which showing his hypnotic eye surrounded by glowing auras as well as a giant, floating, vertical, hypnotic third eye that opens above his head, appearing to imitate Sera's full holy form. Electricity also crackles all over his body, projections, and cables, like down his cables and between those and his wings. Vox is an egotistical, charismatic, and manipulative showman of an Overlord who craves attention.[14] To the public, Vox presents himself as a legitimate businessman of VoxTek Enterprises, giving the facade of a man of the people to the denizens of Hell, when in truth, he is power-hungry, and he manipulates their minds to boost his reputation. He is highly intelligent and technology-savvy, and he is always keeping up with the latest trends and technology.[15] He seems to be able to hide his less desirable side in public and even in private unless he's pushed too far.

Despite his egocentric nature, Vox is loyal to the interests of his fellow Overlords, the Vees, and seeks to maintain their collective image of power. As the most level-headed member of the Vees, Vox often acts as the de facto leader. Claiming the Vees' brand to be "perfection", he is often frustrated or outright angered if someone can jeopardize it, such as when he reigns in his fellow Vee, Valentino, from attacking the Hazbin Hotel in response to Angel Dust living there. Another element that earns his ire is his rival, Alastor, whom he utterly despises and might be intimidated by as he sees Alastor as a threat to his plans. However, despite his immense hatred for Alastor, Vox doesn't let it override his more pragmatic side once he calms down

In "The Show Must Go On", Vox takes immense pleasure and joy out of seeing the staff of the Hazbin Hotel prepare to fight the Exorcists, as he believes they stand no chance against them. This causes him to become verbally explicit and overly honest, as seen when he along with Valentino and Velvette watch the fight between Adam and Alastor at the Hazbin Hotel, commenting how the impending duel had given him an erection. He even shows this sadistic joy when he sees Alastor lose to Adam, saying that seeing Alastor suffer is better than sex, only to get angry when Alastor flees from the fight. Additionally, he is genuinely shocked at Niffty killing Adam but then changes to smiling.

Vox is also sadistic, taking pleasure in attacking a weakened Alastor in "It's A Deal", and when Vox corners him, he takes his time to mock Alastor's wound from Adam, and violently removes his wound's stitches. In "Hazbin Hotel: Behind Closed Doors", Angel Dust even comments that Vox gets off by watching people suffer.

His most ambitious and power-hungry side comes to light in "New Pentious", where he showcases how he misses the feeling of being treated like a god. Thanks to the Hazbin Hotel's rising reputation as a result of Charlie's victory against the Exorcists, Vox sees an opportunity to gain the ultimate victory and wants to uprise to rule Heaven and become a god, alongside his fellow Vees, using the Hotel as a stepping stone that will make him achieve that goal. Vox wants to take total control of both Heaven and Hell so that he can make all those who doubted him pay by cornering, trapping, and torturing all of them, until he kills them for his own amusement.

He is affectionate towards his pet shark, Shok.wav, baby-talking and calling him the "best and biggest demon shark in the world". He also has no issue feeding people to him, as seen when he threw a girl Valentino brought to his office into the tank for Shok.wav to eat.

As shown in his earlier years in Hell in "It's A Deal", Vox was more mild-mannered in regards to Alastor, viewing him as an inspiration and a friend. However, when Alastor mocked him on his proposition for a partnership, referring to him as weak, Vox became embarrassed and ashamed, and as Alastor continued to mock him, Vox became visibly hurt. Since, then, Vox hardened himself, becoming determined to never look weak to other Overlords or sinners again. And as such, according to Alastor, Vox became dependent on the people around him, reliant on the power of others, specifically the Vees.

In "Silenced", Vox's narcissism and vanity start to become worse since he keeps "winning" while he is working on his plan to conquer heaven. And in no part due to Alastor's prodding, he begins to distance himself from his associates and treating them as subordinates rather than his partners and equals, and starts to manipulate them to do what he asks, such as trying to hypnotize Valentino to do his bidding. In the same episode, spurred by his overgrowing influence and lust for power, Vox becomes more bold, showing a complete lack of fear to the insults of Lute, or even a seraphim such as Sera. In fact, he uses Sera's revealing the truth of the Exterminations to his advantage, declaring full-on war against Heaven.

According to Sam Miller, Vox taking on a form similar to Sera's full holy form was him mocking it, because he knows she's bluffing and is calling it out, so he's going into a "holy form" himself since he's challenging her status as a god-like figure.[16]

Because he's from the early to mid 1900's, Vox does retain some outdated and somewhat offensive views on certain cultures. He's aware of this and is embarrassed once he realizes it.

Overall Vox is a Manipulative sinner who uses a friendly facade to attract attention, and shows that he has a "good intention". Immortality - As a Sinner, Vox is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when he died, thus cannot 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. Demon transformation - Like many other demons, Vox is able to transform into a much more powerful demonic form. Electrokinesis - Vox possesses the ability to generate and control electricity. Depending on his emotions, such as if he's angered, he can potentially make it so that a Hell-wide blackout happens.[note 3] He caused a blackout to Pentagram City in "Radio Killed the Video Star" when he was overwhelmed by Alastor's taunts. Electrokinetic transformation - Vox can turn into electricity,[17] which he can use to move around or enter and travel through electronic devices such as security cameras, watches and television monitors that he can control as he pleases. Though there are a few flaws to his electrical teleportation: the place Vox wants to go has to have some form of modern technology he could go through (such as a CCTV camera), as he apparently can't teleport through a vintage radio, though this may be voluntary due to its association with Alastor. As shown in "It's A Deal", Vox uses this as his main fighting style, transforming into electricity and then striking at his opponents with frightening speed and destructive power. Self-duplication - Vox was shown to be able to make clones of himself in "Radio Killed the Video Star" during Stayed Gone. However, he has only displayed the ability on television, and it is unknown if he can do it physically. Technokinesis - Vox can control devices whether he is outside or inside them. He can do things while inside devices such as changing his outfit and scenery. Spark generation - He can create electrical sparks from his fingertips, which can be used to ignite something, like Valentino's cigarette in "Radio Killed the Video Star". He can even generate sparks on his body, especially when he is angry. He also causes what looks like a small surge or ripple of electricity to appear through the floor from his feet during Stayed Gone. It is hard to tell if this is part of the spark generation or a separate ability entirely. Pyrokinesis - With his electricity in "New Pentious", he was able to burn a newspaper with his bare hands as flames emerged from his palms. Flight - As shown in the "Silenced" song Bad With Us, he can utilize his electricity as thrusters from his hands and feet, letting him fly and hover, as he did it when singing with Zeezi. Ologramakinesis - Vox is able to create, shape, and control three-dimensional images that can take any form, from simple static projections to fully interactive, moving figures. As seen in "New Pentious", it is possible to see Vox manifesting holograms artistically, projecting drawings and silhouettes that allude to his human life. Technological head - Vox's television head doubles as an electronic device with which he can plug himself into other devices with the help of cables in his surveillance room. He also somehow is able to change or upgrade his head, as shown, he has a photograph of himself with an older-style television head. If he's particularly angry, he and any devices he's linked to will involuntarily glitch. Bioluminescence - Vox generates blue light from his screen, most notably when he is in a dark room. His teeth noticeably shine brighter than the rest of his face, and his left eye outline and pupils can shine on their own when feeling sinister. His claws can also glow when he is using his electrical powers. Communication - He can receive calls from people, such as Velvette, with his screen head similar to calling on a phone.

Scrying - As shown in "The Radio Demon" comic, Vox is seemingly able to see through other screens, appearing to stare directly at Alastor while projecting into the TV display of a window-fronted store. This is shown in "Radio Killed the Video Star" to be done after he plugs his head into a monitoring device, which he may need to be able to scry. Hypnosis - In "Radio Killed the Video Star", it is shown that with his left eye, he uses hypnosis to keep his audience drawn into his program and keep their interest. He also uses this as a distraction so he can slip away to avoid any further discussion of a subject he doesn't wish to continue. The victim's eyes become red with black spirals. The victim has to be paying attention for this to work. He can use this even when he isn't physically present by being in a screen device. The devices his company sells share this ability. Mind Control - As shown in "Scream Rain", Vox can use his hypnotism so intensively he can outright control the minds of others, which he used to invade and override Angel Dust's free will and turn him into a mole within the Hotel. However, it doesn't always work, as Valentino states and has shown himself to be immune to it. Possibly indicating that more powerful demons like Overlords can’t be affected by his mind control. Acoustokinesis - He can manipulate the sound of his voice to sound more intimidating. He can also generate different sound effects such as echoing voices and the sound of a winning game machine. Voice mimicry - Vox is able to mimic other voices, as seen in the flashback of "It's a Deal" when he mimics Alastor's voice, and in "Scream Rain" when he perfectly mimicked Charlie's voice on the phone in order to trick Lucifer. Claws - Vox has metallic claws that are strong enough to tear through metal. Strength - Vox is strong enough that he is easily able to tear through metal, and capable of holding demons bigger than himself, such as Valentino, with ease. Syrmakinesis - As shown in "It's A Deal", Vox can generate cables and wires from his body and manipulate those around him. He can use them to strike with tremendous force, or restrain those caught in them, and can also use them to elevate himself into the air move smoothly through the air with mechanical precision. In addition, Vox can channel electricity through the cables and wires to electrocute his victims when necessary Deal-making - Like all Overlords, Vox is capable making deals with others, which can be used in order to collect their souls. Musical talent - Vox has shown to be a talented singer. Piano-playing - While singing Once We Get Up There, he is shown to play the piano. Dancing - Vox can perform amazing dance routines, like handling complicated moves to even being able to hold Valentino, a taller sinner, into a dip. Charisma and manipulation - The reason why Vox is a successful entrepreneur is that he can use his charm to manipulate others into buying his products even without his hypnosis powers, such as acting as he cares about his customers and making up products on the spot that are not even in production yet. He even uses this to successfully calm down Valentino to prevent further damage. Technology intuition - Being a businessman and head of VoxTek, Vox has great understanding of technology, allowing him to use his electrical powers to their full potential. Bilingualism - Vox can speak English and some Spanish. In the song Bad With Us, he is seen talking to Carmilla Carmine in Spanish. However, he doesn't fully understand the language.

Victor Whittman[1][11], more commonly known as Vox, is an antagonist in season one and the main antagonist of season two of Hazbin Hotel.[12]

He is a sinner demon and was once one of the many powerful Overlords of Hell. Vox is the founder, former owner, and Ex-CEO of VoxTek Enterprises, along with previously being the de facto leader and public face of the Overlord trio known as the Vees, alongside Valentino and Velvette, until they grew tired of his constant disrespect and eventually punished him for it.

A technology-savvy businessman, Vox once pulled the strings of Hell's news and entertainment media. He was determined to keep his iron grip over Pentagram City's citizens from the Radio Demon, Alastor, his arch-rival in terms of influence and technology.

Before ending up in Hell, Vincent/Vox worked as a weather presenter, but his growing hunger for power drove him to eliminate anyone who outshone him. This eventually led to the creation of his cult, as revealed in "New Pentious," where he served as its leader. Longing for the adoration he once had and feeling like a god, Vox persuaded Valentino and Velvette to join his scheme to take over both Heaven and Hell.

In "It's A Deal", Vox agreed to a deal with Alastor that allowed him to hold the Radio Demon captive, gaining him enough recognition in Hell to begin a resistance movement and orchestrate a war against Heaven, being appointed as the voice of the people of Hell. Thanks to Alastor using another deal he made with Charlie Morningstar and creative word play, his deal was broken due to a technicality.

Vox is a tall and slim-figured, shark and technology-themed sinner demon with a humanoid body who stands at approximately 7 feet tall.[13] He sports a flat-screen television for a head, with the monitor projecting eyes with bright red sclera, narrow cyan pupils and different-colored outlines - black for his right and cyan for his left. While he is using his hypnosis powers or feels strong emotion, his left eye opens more than his right eye, contains endlessly growing black concentric circles, and the pupil becomes a shivering cyan-colored electric bolt. He also wears a small black top hat on his head, with red and blue designs reminiscent of a broadcast symbol and radio wave symbol, respectively. He has TV antenna that stick out the top of his hat, the left one bent into a zigzag. Vox suffers from severe megalomania and a deep desire for validation and adoration, that when coupled with his narcissism, makes him exceedingly unstable and delusional. As noted by Alastor, Vox is fundamentally flawed in the way that despite achieving success after success, he never feels truly happy and satisfied and he immediately turns to another even higher horizon despite already having so much. He is affectionate towards his pet shark, Shok.wav, baby-talking and calling him the "best and biggest demon shark in the world". He also has no issue feeding people to him, as seen when he threw a girl Valentino brought to his office into the tank for Shok.wav to eat. Shok.wav lives in a huge tank in Vox’s office, with the shark itself being as large as a king bed.

As a human, Victor/Vox had heterochromia, with his right eye green while his left eye was cyan, a rather prominent hawk-esque nose, and short brown hair, which he would later dye black. Throughout the years, his hair greyed more and became messier. He wore numerous suits depending on his career, prominently brown at first, then a periwinkle blue suit, and dark grey suits, all of which having an aquatic-themed pin on the left breast. His final suit appeared much like the one he commonly wears in Hell, but with sparkles. He also wore a pair of square-framed glasses. When he was alive, Victor Whittman worked as a TV weatherman, but soon became jealous of the station's more popular news anchor, murdered him, and immediately took his job. Becoming addicted to the rush of killing and the rewards it offered, Victor began killing more and more of his colleagues in increasingly gruesome and brutal ways to gain bigger and better positions, with his desire eventually growing into full-blown megalomania, especially as the news at the time stirred up his ego by calling him the "God of Entertainment". Sometime in the 1950s, Victor tried to convince the network executive, Bob Sinclair, to give him full control of the station. When the offer was declined, Victor killed his boss and took over, turning the station into a church to his big ego, and converting his new employees into a cult-like environment[1], with him as the leader. Unfortunately for him, while in front of a crowd, a TV fell right on top of his head and fatally electrocuted him, along with all those in attendance, as he was holding the event in a basement that had been waterlogged. Due to his murderous pastimes, Victor was damned to Hell,[1] where he became a sinner demon with a TV for his head, and renamed himself "Vox".[2]Almost seventy years ago, Vox encountered Alastor, a powerful and feared Overlord sinner known as "The Radio Demon", and, over the course of a few years, the two developed a friendly relationship. Vox's feelings eventually developed into what may have been a crush on Alastor, unaware that the Overlord didn't feel the same way. One evening, Alastor and Vox were in a bar, where Vox admitted he looked up to Alastor, saying that he found Alastor "inspiring", and noted how modern entertainment, including his own, started with radio. Vox then pitched the idea that since people loved and knew of the both of them, he and Alastor could join forces, combining Alastor's incredible power with Vox's massive influence, allowing them to be unstoppable as radio and video, enabling them to rule Hell together as partners. Alastor, however, laughed and declined, and upon realizing that Vox was being serious about it, called Vox pathetic and weak, as he once thought Vox might be approaching his level, but was disappointed when Vox asked for his assistance and partnership instead. When Vox stated he thought they were friends, Alastor retorted and proclaimed that there were no friends in Hell and thought it was something Vox understood before Alastor called him embarrassing.[3][4]

Vox was quite distressed and frustrated over the harsh rejection, and Alastor later implies that he put Vox in his place after he threw a "tantrum" over it and became "pissy", which resulted in the two Overlords becoming rivals, after Alastor cruelly declined and humiliated Vox.[4][5] Somewhere in this process, Vox became a powerful Overlord of Hell. At some point in the 1970s, Vox would meet and team up with a fellow Overlord named Valentino (who became his on-off lover).[note 1]

At some point, Vox began a technology business called VoxTek, which would eventually expand dramatically to cover a wide variety of products, technologies, companies, researchers and so forth.

At one point after seeing scientist Baxter's biogenetic creature regenerate from Zestial's attacks, Vox saw his potential and hired him to work at VoxTek.[6]

At one point, Vox would upgrade his box-like TV head to a flat-screen TV.

At another point in time he would meet a young Overlord named Velvette, who like him, also follows the latest technology and trends, they then formed an Overlord group called the Vees, who collectively control modern mass media and information technology in the Pride Ring.

The three media-based overlords then constructed a collective headquarters that group all of their individual enterprises into one building, called V Tower, where they collaborate on various business ventures, mainly media-related ones.

Seven years prior to the series, Alastor fought and almost beat Vox, with the outcome currently unknown - though Vox lied and Alastor had actually beaten him. Some time after Alastor left Pentagram City for seven years, Vox took over Pentagram City's media entertainment with his medium: video.[7]

During the Extermination in the pilot, Vox, Velvette, and Valentino found a decapitated Exorcist and took her head.[8]

Takes place in hell (specifically the hell in-universe of the Hazbin Hotel show- which isn't hellfire and torture and instead simply a dark and dingy place called Pentagram city where sinners go after death. Sinners are free to get jobs and live life- hence how it functions as a society. just...a messy society.
