Valentino | Hellaverse series

Valentino is a sinner demon and one of the many Overlords of Hell. He is a major antagonist of Hazbin Hotel season 1, and one of the main antagonists of season 2, alongside Vox and Velvette.

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,[9] 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. This is first seen in "Welcome to Heaven". In "The Show Must Go On", Valentino wears fishnet stockings, a black miniskirt, and black knee-high heeled boots.

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, as shown in "Welcome to Heaven" where Valentino admitted 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. Faustisse bluntly described him as "a huge fuckboi". Despite this, he is apparently in a romantic relationship with Vox.

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 was visibly shocked when Vox uncharacteristically snapped at him for wanting to murder everyone at the Hotel. Valentino is shown to be embarrassed by and dislike Vox's sterotyping of Spanish people, as shown when Vox dressed in a stereotypical mariachi outfit in his offer to Carmilla in "Silenced" and angrily throwing his drink at Vox after saying he can't understand Valentino's "island language" in "Scream Rain".

Valentino was a human from Florida who passed away in the 1970s and his soul was damned to Hell. At some point in Hell, Valentino came to be in charge of the adult film industry and became one of its Overlords.

At some point decades ago, he became acquainted with Vox. Originally, both of Valentino's antennae looked identical, but some time after meeting Vox something happened that caused the left one to be shorter and lack the white areas. He also apparently didn't wore his glasses to help him see better at the time. At a later point, he became acquainted with a young demon named Velvette, and the trio became the Overlord subgroup known as the Vees.

At some point, Valentino hired Angel Dust as one of his porn stars, under the condition that Valentino can only exercise his authority while physically inside his studio and no where else.

At some point, a holiday in Hell was invented to celebrate Valentino calls Valentino Day.

At some point after hiring Angel Dust, Valentino discovered that he was sentenced to Hell for murdering his father and told Vox about it.

From Velvette and Vox's annoyance and experience, Valentino has thrown multiple tantrums, some because of his "whore" employees, that result in destruction, with Vox having to calm him down. Valentino would often act very harsh and aggressive towards his workers, even physically abusing or forcing himself sexually onto Angel Dust.

Valentino would be known to hit Angel multiple times, even in front of multiple people and in public, like on Valentino's birthday when he smashed his face into cake during Valentino Day or when they were doing sex work as he punched him and hit him with a paddle.

Valentino also at one point had sex with Angel during Velvette's last clothing launch.

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 got knocked down "Masquerade", and was able to tear demons into pieces with his bare hands in "Radio Killed the Video Star", when Velvette recounts how he "tore up her best model", despite presumably not having any weapons on him. In "It's A Deal" he was showcased to be able to kick Alastor in the chest which wounded 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 was shown to have a degree of speed and Agility as seen in "It's a Deal" where he runs and evades Alastor's tentacles to come and Attack him.

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. He can also alter the design of the coat his wings can take, including his neack fur, and after taking over VoxTek in "Curtain Call" has seeminly changed the color of his wings to purple.

Valentino is capable of flight with his wings. This is first seen in "It's A Deal" when he comes down from V Tower to where Vox is on the street, and in "Curtain Call" when he attempted to fly from the blast of the Might of Lilith but couldn't due to his right wing being damaged by Husk's explosive dice.

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.

In the ADDICT music video, 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, since, in "Masquerade", he smokes a cigarette Angel was smoking and the color of the smoke changes when he blows it into Angel's face. As shown in "It's A Deal" and "Masquerade", 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, as shown in "Masquerade" where he formed a chain and manacles to bind Angel Dust and show his dominance over him.

As shown in "Curtain Call", Valentino is able to produce and manipulate a smoke like energy, which he used to assist in creating a barrier around Vox's overloading angelic laser canon the Might of Lilith.

As shown in the prequel comic, 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. This is showcased in his drawing of Vox in "New Pentious" and the "How to draw with Valentino" drawing tutorial for the official website. 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, such as when he added "Valentino" to Moneyshot in "Radio Killed the Video Star".

As noted by Angel Dust in "Masquerade" and shown in "It's A Deal", Valentino has very poor eyesight and requires glasses to see clearly, enough so that without his glasses he is effectively blind at short range and his vision is blurry.

Valentino was Hispanic when living.

When asked about Valentino's sexuality, Faustisse replied, "full pansexual".

Valentino wishes he could visit the Lust Ring, but can't because Sinners cannot leave the Pride Ring.

As shown in "Radio Killed the Video Star" 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.

The fur collar around Valentino's neck is an actual part of his body. This was previously implied in some of Valentino's now-deleted Voxtagram posts, while this was officially confirmed in "Masquerade". He can feel from his collar, as shown in "Welcome to Heaven" when Niffty rips some fluff off for her collection he screams in pain.

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.
