VOX - HH

Vox is shown to be a tall, slim, technology-themed demon standing at about 7'0" ft. He wears a striped tuxedo, a black and red striped shirt, a red bow tie, a whiteish blue undershirt, and a black top hat with a red a broadcast symbol, a blue radio wave, and his antennas out of it. He has a flat screen TV 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. 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. His personality has been shown to be that of an egotistical and charismatic showman who craves and loves attention, and is obsessed with technology, television and innovation, with a not-so-much-educated and formal attitude. Due to his love and obsession for technology, he entered a rivalry with the fellow Overlord Alastor, who despises modern technology while preferring tech from the Victorian era, to the point that he seems to be obsessed with him. He seems to be the main leader of the Vees and the only person capable of calming down Valentino (mostly through manipulation).

He and Valentino seem to have a deep and possibly romantic relationship. When Valentino flies into rage when Angel Dust moves into the Hazbin Hotel, believing he's sleeping with Charlie, and prepares to attack the place, Vox is able to calmly reason with him, pointing out that Angel Dust still works for him and that such an assault would be bad for their reputation. Valentino seems to be aware of his own temper problem and demanded to see Vox so that he can talk him out of it, showing a great sense of trust and respect between the two. Later the town are seen dancing and making out during the finale. However, Vox is also capable of losing his temper as badly as Valentino is, with Val often taking pleasure in stoking the fire on purpose. This was shown when Valentino tells Vox that Alastor is working with Charlie, with Vox flying into an even worse rage than Valentino did.

Aside from Valentino and Velvette, as well as Alastor, Vox does not seem to care much for the other Overlords, such as Carmilla Carmine, who he refers her derisively when talking to his assistant after making up VoxTek Angelic Security, presumably it can be indicated that he only maintains his association with the other Overlords due to his business interest while agreeing with Velvette that the rest of them are just a joke. This also extends to other demons in Pentagram City, manipulating them in the process. Also in the Season 1 finale as he takes pleasure and joy out of seeing people fight and trying to kill each other, which causes him to get verbally explicit and overly honest. He also seems to genuinely love his pet shark Vark and seems to have some affection for his fellow Vees as well, hugging them both during "Stayed Gone". He also has a soft spot for the User, who is his friend Not much is known about Vox's past other than that he was once the leader of a cult and hosted a TV show in the 1950s. After he died from an unknown cause, he was reborn in Hell as a powerful demon and later became one of the Overlords of Hell. Having died at the time television was a fledgling form of entertainment, Vox was inspired to adapt the medium and dominate it, eventually controlling the entire television industry of the Pride Ring (and possibly other parts of Hell). He quickly joined forces with Valentino, the equivalent power in Hell's film industry (specifically porn), becoming partners and friends. In "Radio Killed the Video Star", a photograph or himself and Valentino shows that his head used to be an old fashioned "fat backed" television; it can be assumed he used some sort of magic to upgrade his appearance as technology advanced, eventually changing the form of his head to a flat backed widescreen. Eventually, as social media became popular, their recruited Velvette into their fold as well, forming a trinity heading a vast media empire, making them, as a team, one of the most powerful and influential powers in Hell. Because all their names started with V, they officially became known as "the Vees".

At some point in time, he met Alastor and they became rivals. They apparently had a fight at least seven years before the events of the pilot. Vox was "almost beaten", according to Valentino. Around the same time, Vox also asked Alastor to join the Vees, but he refused, which Vox took very personally. It's unknown if he asked Alastor this before or after their fight, as he could has asked him before, and then fought him in rage of his declination, or after, seeing Alastor as a threat worthy of joining the Vees. Regardless, Alastor was uninterested either way. It's implied that Vox and Alastor used to be friends once. Powers and Abilities Electrical manipulation: Vox could be able to transform himself into electricity for fly and cause black outs and enter in electrical dispositive. He can also cause a hell-wide black out if he gets particularly furious or if he simply wants it. Electricity transformation: Vox can turn into electricity, 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. There is a few flaws to this: the place Vox wants to go has to have some form of technology he could go through as he apparently can't teleport through an old-styled radio. Spark Generation: He can create sparks from his fingertips, which can be used to ignite and/or light something, like when he lit 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 during Stayed Gone from his feet. Its hard to tell if this is part of the spark generation or a separate ability entirely. Brainwashing: His broadcasts seem to have some sort of hypnotic hold on the residents of Pentagram City, compelling them to view and leaving them susceptible to what he says. This also convinces them to buy his advertised products, which are mostly useless.
