Valentino

Valentino is a sinner demon who is one of the many Overlords of Hell and a major antagonist of Hazbin Hotel. He is the head of the porn studios within V Tower, and a close associate of Velvette and Vox. He is also the owner and boss of his films' main star, Angel Dust, whom he has under contractual obligation.Valentino is a tall, slender, somewhat muscular moth demon with greyish-lavender skin and cerise-pink eyes, over which he is always depicted wearing gold-rimmed, heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise-pink lenses. His mouth full of sharp, cerise-pink colored teeth, with a single golden fang that sits to his far left of center, a feature he shares with his employee, Angel Dust. He also has a long, pointed, 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 fur with small red love-hearts around his neck that plumes up from his coat's break-line. He is bald[note 4] 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. His hands and forearms are black, while the upper halves are greyish-lavender. He wears gold arm bands on his lower wrists, each hand having one gold ring, and sometimes gold nail guards on his fingers. He has a pair of large vivid-red moth wings that features white with black striped fur around 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. This coat is pinned with a gold chain and gold love-heart shaped broach fastenings at the breast.Valentino wears a vivid-red top hat that has a wide, asymmetrical zebra-print hat-band. Under his coat he wears a dark grey jacket that shows his chest, held together with two gold buttons, and with the sleeves rolled up, alongside white pants with a black belt that has a golden love-heart shaped buckle, and a pair of high-heeled black shoes. He wears a gold chain necklace hung down to his chest.Valentino has been described as being charming[note 6] and roughly as level-headed as his fellow Overlord, Vox.[note 7] 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 temperamental side, throwing objects and ripping 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. He is also terrified by Niffty's creepy stalker-ish and homicidal behavior. His first language is Spanish and he has an accent. He often switches to Spanish for terms of endearment or while discussing things he doesn’t want others to hear.
