Overlords

Overlords are a class of powerful Demons in Hell. They rank just above regular Sinner Demons and place fifth in terms of power in Hell's hierarchy.

The concept of Overlords was first introduced in the pilot of Hazbin Hotel during the scene where Vaggie explains to Angel Dust about Alastor's origins.

Description
The Overlords are considered so powerful that they rule over certain parts of Hell and have an infamous reputation for doing so. Despite having the same social status and somewhat similar hierarchy, not all Overlords get along with each other, some either like or are indifferent to one another.

Trivia

 * When asked if Stolas was a fellow Overlord, Viv stated that he is part of a separate hierarchal ranking which she refers to as "the Goetia Demons".
 * Some Overlords appear to represent a form of media. Examples of such cases being Alastor with radio, Vox with television, Valentino with pornography, and Velvette with social media.
 * When Vaggie explains Alastor's origins, there are a total of eleven demons shown. Although, it is unknown if there are more; while Bethesda and Frederick are later on confirmed to also be Overlords.
 * Aside from the eleven demons shown in Alastor's backstory there are also silhouettes of both Husk and Niffty behind Alastor. However, only Husk is revealed to be a former Overlord, while Niffty is known only to be Alastor's associate.
 * This sequence was also foreshadowing Husk's former status before he sold his soul to Alastor.
 * According to Faustisse, Alastor has no interest in being an Overlord since power is not what he really desires. Despite this, he is still regarded as an Overlord by technicality.
 * In the unofficial Voxtagram stories, Vox, Valentino, and Velvette, are a special Overlord triumvirate called the VVV Overlords, who all have initials starting with a V and have something to do with one form of media. The group regularly hangs out together, and Velvette seems to be the glue that binds the other two together. Whether this subset is canon or not in the actual series is unconfirmed.
 * A 2022 teaser for the official series referred to the trio as the "Vees", which may hint the three are a group together. It was revealed in the episode "Radio Killed the Video Star" that this was indeed the trio's official name.
 * During an early version in the Hazbin Hotel pilot scene that depicts various overlords there was an overlord whose design originally had a single, more owl-like face and wore a hat, but in the final version was changed to have two faces and lacked the hat.
 * Another change in the final version was the inclusion of Velvette, whose placement covers another Overlord with a pair of curled horns. This Overlord can still be slightly seen in the final version.
 * Overlords can lose their status, such as Husk who in "Masquerade" mentioned once being an Overlord before losing everything from gambling, especially to Alastor.
 * Zestial is the oldest of the Overlords, while Velvette is the youngest.
