Valentino is a major antagonist of the adult animated musical dark comedy series Hazbin Hotel, serving as a major antagonist in Season 1, one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Velvette) of Season 2.
He is one of Hell's most powerful and influential Overlords, serving as a member of The Vees alongside Vox and Velvette.
The mood-swinging, impulsive owner of Hell's biggest pornographic film studios, Valentino mainly abuses his employees from his own district through sexual coercion and deal-makings while also taking advantage to them on a few occasions.
He is also the archenemy of Angel Dust, whose soul he owns through a contract, leading to directly putting the latter into an unhealthy and toxic lifestyle. He currently serves as the new CEO of VoxTek Enterprises, after Vox's plans of ruling Heaven and Hell had been ruined.
He is voiced by Joel Perez.

Appearance[]
Valentino is a tall, slender, physically fit and broad-shouldered humanoid 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 tall, 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. His hands and forearms are black, 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.
According to Faustisse, Valentino wears fishnet stockings under his coat. This is first seen in "Welcome to Heaven". In "The Show Must Go On", Valentino wears black fishnet stockings, a black short miniskirt, and black knee-high stiletto heeled boots.
The teaser for Season 2 shows him with a black leather version of his red suit.
Personality[]
| “ | Velvette: Well maybe, people should start sucking less. Valentino: Or more. Hehehe... |
„ |
| ~ Valentino showing his perverted and sex-crazed nature. |
Valentino is a sex-obsessed and vicious demon overlord who abuses his employee, Angel Dust. He is cruel, ruthless, sadistic, and perverted, forcing Angel Dust to kiss him against his will and forcing him to have sex with him regularly. Valentino's torment of Angel seems to border on obsession, causing Val to latch onto Angel at all times and become more chaotic and unstable when Angel rejects him.
Val is shown to have a monstrous temper unlike any other, butchering Velvette's staff and almost going to massacre and rape everyone at the Hazbin Hotel just because he was angry over Angel moving there rather than living at the Studio with him (this reaction likely stems from the fact that his contract with Angel states he can only control Angel while he's in the Studio itself, while outside it Angel can do as he pleases without consequences).
His temper is shown to make him rather short-sighted and blind to the consequences of his actions since he was both risking the Vees' reputation as well as putting himself in danger of angering Charlie and Alastor, both of whom are stronger demons than him on their own. He demonstrates this flaw again during his first confrontation with Charlie in "Masquerade" where he shows his abusive treatment of Angel in full view of her and is only spared from her wrath by Angel acting as a human shield and forcing her to leave the Studio, and likely would've been brutalized or worse if Charlie had been given the chance to follow through on her threat.
He's shown to be sadistic watching Adam almost kill Alastor and later offended when Vox retorts the fight is "better than sex". Alongside the other Vees, he's horrified watching Nifty kill Adam, although this was likely at least partially due to horror of recalling his previous encounter with Nifty back at the club and knowing that easily could've been him. Afterwards, he's shown happily dancing and making out with Vox. The other Vees seem to be the only people he remotely cares for, as he warned Velvette not eat a lollipop she found on the ground and seems insecure about his relationship with Vox as well. He also allowed them to hide with him at the porn studio as protection from the extermination's.
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.
Angel sees Valentino as 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 "f*ck 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, as he was visibly shocked when Vox uncharacteristically snapped at him for wanting to murder everyone at the hotel and was also terrified by Niffty's creepy stalking, mischievous behavior. He and Velvette also disapproved of Vox's racist behavior towards Carmilla and Hispanic people in general, having to remind him to stop at some points.
Most notably however, his relationship with Vox and Velvette has shown to be a positive one, having worked alongside with them as partners for decades. They appear to be the only people that Val genuinely cares for and goes out of his way to protect, viewing themselves to be equal partners amongst each other. Likewise, he ends up getting irritated at Vox's self-centered overconfidence, taking all the credit for himself instead of acknowledging both him and Velvette as well. It's also for this reason that he expresses worrisome about the possibility that Vox might abandon them one day in his quest to dominate Heaven and Hell.
Biography[]
Backstory[]
Nothing is known of Valentino's past as a human, other that he was born in Florida and based on his accent, he was likely of a Hispanic-American descent. When he died in the 1970s and went to Hell, reborn as a sinner demon, he became one of the most powerful demons in Hell and owns his own porn studio.
Pilot[]
In the Pilot episode, Valentino is seen alongside Vox and Velvette while the exterminators finish up their work and text Angel Dust to go back to work without the sass. Valentino later appears in a flashback alongside the other Overlords when Vaggie explains to Angel Dust who Alastor is.
Season 1[]
In the main show, he is a major antagonist, mostly treating his subordinates like slaves and often resorting to violently killing anyone when in one of his moods, best shown during a Facetime chat between Vox and Velvette where he murders the latter's best model out of anger offscreen. He uses a variety of tactics to get them to do his bidding, including torture, emotional manipulation, and drugs. He seems to only care about others for their ability to serve and enrich him.
Notably, when Charlie Morningstar tries to help Angel Dust by following him to the studio, Valentino pretends to respect her the first time they meet by disturbingly licking her arm and offering her a position as a "star" at his studio, which she declines. However, he gets vicious with Angel Dust at the same time when Charlie accidentally sets fire to the film's setting, beating Angel into submission and reminding him that he owns him and his soul. He proceeds to order him to get rid of Charlie while threatening her life; once she leaves, his abusive behavior towards Angel continues, forcing him to do multiple porn videos during his song "Poison".
He later appears in a nightclub ironically titled "Consent" accompanied by two demon women whom he attempts to recruit while threatening to kill a waiter if he doesn't bring him another drink. There he runs into Angel and a drunk Niffty. He then tries to recruit Niffty much to Angel's disgust who tells him that while he may own him, he won't harm any of his friends. When Valentino reminds of the fact that he owns his soul Angel retorts that he only does so only on set and tells him to f*ck off. Valentino responds angrily by slapping him and promising to punish him at work the next day, to which Angel spitefully says it was worth it. As Valentino looks on in ire as Angel and friends leave the club, Niffty then rips off part of his fur, much to Valentino's shock and bafflement.
In the finale he joins Vox and Velvette in watching Adam's attack on the hotel, generally joining Velvette in her bored and uninterested reaction while Vox is ecstatic over seeing Alastor getting beaten and almost killed by the exorcist leader. He later remarks amused interest about Lucifer telling Adam he's going to "f*ck him", is horrified alongside the other when Niffty kills Adam and shares part of the final song with Vox where the two overlords express excitement over Alastor's defeat and plot to take advantage and rule over hell which is filmed by Velvette before the three share in a group hug and share an evil laugh together, soon after Valentino and Vox make out as Velvette takes a selfie.
Season 2[]
Vox reprimands Valentino for hitting Angel Dust in public, as it tarnishes his reputation. Then Vox tells him and Velvette his plan to dominate Heaven to become gods, which Val supports.
It is revealed that Valentino knew that Angel Dust was sent to hell for killing his father, something he told Vox and Velvette to intimidate and annoy Angel.
Vox later tries to hypnotize Valentino into selling to Angel Dust but ends up failing. At the same time, he is beginning to tire of Vox's growing ego and of being relegated to the background. Even so, he helps Vox with his plan and sells Angel Dust to him to torture him.
Valentino helps Vox in the pre-war and angry as Charlie appears. Finally Velvette and him abandoned and defeat Vox for his actions. Currently, he is the new boss of VoxTek. In the final scene of season 2, a reporter questions him about his association with Vox, and Val denies even knowing who Vox is.
Other Appearances[]
Comics[]
Dirty Healings[]
Valentino appears in the prequel comics being Angel Dust's boss and killed a buyer who tried to cheat him out of his money and Angel goes into the limo as Valentino calls him. He later asks Angel why he wasn't in the studio and about his business and affairs, Angel Dust simply tries to tell Valentino that he sneaked out of the studio to simply help him but Valentino is angry at him for not staying at the studio and very clearly threatens to not do it again.
Music Videos[]
Addict[]
In this music video, Valentino's character is shown more in-depth, as he watches Angel Dust's pole dancing. It is revealed in his limousine that he takes most of Angel Dust's earnings for himself. While there, Valentino forcibly kisses Angel, and it is shown that he has raped him enough times to give Angel trauma.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Immortality: 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 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.
- Strength: Valentino demonstrates a few instances of his brute strength such as when he tears up one of Velvette's models limb from limb, and when he effortlessly grabs and lifts Angel Dust off the ground and throws him across the room, Valentino's strength appears to be greater than the average demon.
- Demonic Transformation: As a demon, Valentino can probably transform himself into a more powerful form and swipe back to his ordinary one.
- Influence: As an Overlord, Valentino holds a superior social position than ordinary demons. As the owner of Porn Industries, he is the main pornographic distributor in Hell and one of the most influential Overlords, as well as being involved in drug deals as shown in dirty healings.
- Black magic: As an Overlord, Valentino has achieved a particular magic that makes him an above-average demon in terms of power and that grants him several supernatural capabilities, such as manipulating smoke.
- Typhokinesis: Valentino is shown to be able to move and model smoke, particularly red smoke, though it's unknown if he is simply using the smoke produced by cigarettes or if he is capable of creating new ones.
- Dominion over Pentagram City: As a powerful Overlord and a member of the Vees, Valentino thus has connections and control over vast areas of Pentagram City.
- Ocular, dental, and saliva illumination: Valentino's eyes give off a faint cerise-pink glow, particularly if he's in a dark room, and his teeth can glow when he's giving a sinister smile. His cerise-pink saliva also glows, mainly when he's acting perverted.
- Multitasking: Valentino can multitask with his extra set of arms, such as holding his drink while he's decorating one of his guns.
- Wings: 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.
- Wing alteration: These wings can cover his body to form his coat or can be hung down like a cape. It is possible his wings can form coats of various designs as he is seen in "Welcome to Heaven" wearing an alternate style coat.
- Smoke constructs: 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.
- Contracts: 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.
- Weapon proficiency: As shown in the prequel comic, Valentino is easily able to shoot a moving target with accuracy from a notable distance away. The Season 2 trailer shows him with an oversized revolver with a heart-shaped barrel.
- Artistic talent: According to the "Clocktower Countdown to Premiere" livestream, Valentino is actually a talented artist.
- Singing and dancing: Valentino has shown to be a good singer and exceptional dancer, being able to performing a duet and dance with Vox.
- Charisma: Valentino possesses a flamboyant and vivacious charm that allows him to persuade others of his authority.
- Bilingualism: Valentino can fluently speak Spanish and English.

| “ | Hey b*tches! Valentino here. Yeah. Um, today I'm going to be teaching you all how to draw, since some people apparently think it's hard. Talk about unrelatable. Anywho! You just kind of pick up the pen thingy and put it to the screen and draw. Like, let's start with the easiest character to draw, Vox. Let's start with his dumbass head. It's a rectangle. So, yeah. Next is the expression. Let's make it sexy. This is just how he looks at me, which is all the time. So, yeah, I have lots of reference for his stupid, handsome, flat-ass face.

Trivia[]
- Faustisse stated that Valentino may have died in the 1970s.
- He has his own Instagram Account called @Moth_Pimp. However, his account was deleted and it's unknown why, although it may be due to the controversies surrounding the character.
- Valentino's relationship with Vox initially depicted him being the abusive one with Vox being on the receiving end of his abuse, as he was shown breaking his screen for petty reasons, such as not giving him the drink he wants on their Instagram. He also belittles Vox for getting him a bigger TV as an apology gift and says he'd have a new boyfriend if it vibrated. In the actual show itself, not only is their relationship not abusive, but Vox seems to take up the more dominant role and Val even seems to rely on Vox as moral support, being the only person who can calm down Valentino during his various fits of rage.
- He gave Fat Nuggets to Angel Dust. However, considering Valentino's personality, it is possible that it was just to appease Angel from his abuse rather than out of genuine kindness. This is similar to what many abusers do in real life.
- According to Medrano, finding a voice actor for Valentino was the hardest of the cast, as there was a lot of amazing auditions but everyone locked into exactly what was written on the audition sheet and none of them were really clicking with her. She also had offered the role to other actors, who all declined, so after she had asked Andrew Butler if he could bring in anyone to do parts in Helluva Boss and he brought in Joel Perez, Medrano immediately liked Perez's energy and thought he would have a good shot at Valentino, so she asked him to read for it and immediately thought he was perfect.
- Valentino states he has employed "every down on their luck loser" on the Vees' part of the Pride Ring of Hell.
- Valentino is most likely meant to be another foil to Alastor similar to Vox given that he’s another fellow Overlord of Hell and both own other Sinners (Angel Dust and Husk respectively), via soul contracts and are cruel to them whenever they anger them, the difference is that Alastor is mainly affable while Valentino is a full-on manipulative psychopath who takes advantage of his workers for his benefit and to satiate his lust.
- Valentino is an Italian name, meaning "brave or strong". It can also mean "a ladies' man", which is fitting considering his status as a pimp. It is likely also a reference to the word "valentine", which is near synonymous with love in many places.
- According to Vivziepop the name "Valentino" came from her family's pet cat who was put down in August 15, 2016, because he was suffering and old. Vivziepop explained that the name was something she really loved and always wanted to name a character with, and thought it fit the character Valentino because it is a "very fancy name" that sounds "vaguely Latin", and also makes her think of Valentine's stuff.
- Vivziepop thinks that Valentino would be the kind of person to have a collection of canes.
- According to Vivziepop in a tweet, Valentino wishes he could visit the Lust Ring.
- As shown in "Radio Killed the Video Star" Valentino owns a customized Robo Fizz that he calls "Kitty".
- According to Angel Dust, Valentino's eyesight is so bad that he once spent a half hour counting a "stack" of bills, unaware there were only three in his hand. This is in reference to him looking at three bills in the ADDICT music video. According to Vivziepop, Valentino counting three bills in the ADDICT music video was something that slipped through the cracks in animation from the boards to final and he was supposed to be counting a stack of bills.
- Valentino's symbol was made by Sam Miller and is an elevated design of the one she made for the ADDICT music video; it has a subtle XXX within a moth design and somewhat resembles a skull.
- The numerous posters of Valentino posing nearly naked with his guns, it is possible Valentino may have partaken in some form of acting himself.
- He sometimes switches between an American and a Hispanic accent when he is in the middle of a mood swing.
- Sometimes while Valentino speaks, he makes squeaking sounds like a moth.
- When asked about Valentino's sexuality, Faustisse replied, "full pansexual".
- Valentino is the first member of the Vees Charlie meets, and the only one she meets in Season 1.
- Valentino is the most controversial character in Hazbin Hotel among fans due to his status as a sexual abuser, as well as (according to many critics) the poor handling of the topic of sexual abuse within the narrative.
