Adam

"No... you don't get to end this! I'm fucking Adam! I'm the fucking man, and you're just some fucking clown or something. I started everything on Earth! All of mankind came from these fucking nuts! You all should be worshipping me, you ungrateful, disgusting, fucking losers!"

- Adam's breakdown before his death.

Adam was an Angel and the main antagonist of the first season of Hazbin Hotel. He made his official debut alongside his subordinate, Lute, in "Overture".

He was the first human man created alongside the first human soul to enter Heaven. After becoming an angel, he was delegated to command over his private military force known as Exorcists, and served Heaven as forerunner of the Extermination movement.

In "The Show Must Go On", he was defeated by Lucifer Morningstar and killed by Niffty.

Appearance
Adam was an angel with a human appearance, he wore a mask that appeared similar to other Exorcists, however, with normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. The mask also held a pair of horns similar to an exorcist, albeit longer, smoother, and with a golden ornamental attachment on the tips.

Under his mask he had dirty brown hair, fair skin, and golden eyes. He also sported a stubble beard on his chin.

He also had a pair of large and golden wings on his back. In contrast to other angels that have appeared thus far, Adam's halo is bright gold in appearance, and similar to the exorcists, has two spikes pointing up and down from each other, though these spikes are located at the front of his halo as opposed to the likes of Lute's halo, which has its spikes in the middle, joined by a small dot.

He wore a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands were black in appearance, as well, and had golden tip spikes on the back of his collar.

Personality
Adam appeared very egotistical, misogynistic, and unsympathetic. As the leader of his Exorcist army, he took his stance as the Exorcists' head figure very seriously, sending antagonistic threats towards demons and anyone for standing in their way or whoever disobeyed his command, as he did so with Vaggie for refusing to kill an innocent demon sinner child, cutting her wings, and leaving her in Hell.

He also displayed traits of extreme narcissism and chauvinism, believing himself the perfect man due to being the first and claiming he had never made a mistake in his life, since he was the first man to be born on Earth, and he claimed that all the male bloodline came from him, this also lead to Adam seemingly to have developed a god complex for having fathered the beginning humanity.

Adam did not appear to be aware that his egotistical and depraved behavior towards Lilith was the cause of her leaving him. When meeting Charlie Morningstar, he didn't hate her for being a child of the woman he was married to before she fell in love with Lucifer, and was relatively patient with her, although remained dismissive of her suggestions. Adam was also sexist, constantly addressing other women as "bitches" and enjoyed their sexual depravity, as he admitted to Vaggie that her forbidden love relationship with Charlie was "hot as fuck", albeit it is unclear whether this was about their genders or them being angel and demon. Despite this, he seemed to have a good relationship with Lute, whom he seemed to have in very high esteem, even though he was her superior.

Despite his obliviousness, Adam did show moments of common sense and self-awareness, such as when the death of an Exorcist was discovered, he knew that if they decided to kill the Sinners now after just one week after the most recent Extermination, then demons would catch on to how Exorcists can be killed. Adam also knew when to slow down on his egoism, after inadvertently exposing the purpose of the Extermination to all the courts of Heaven, including Sera, the highest seraphim authority in Heaven and the one who ordered that no one but the Exorcists can know.

Adam may have enjoyed playing music, specifically with a guitar, as he outright claimed to be in a band. He also has a poor view of radio and stereos, telling to Alastor those already belong to the past considering ancient.

Adam was also quite cruel and sadist, openly admitting in front of Charlie that he enjoyed killing demons and tended to anounce how many killed in the Extermination. He also dismissed Charlie's proyect of redemption not because he didn't believe in sinner being redeemed, but because with that proyect he would't be able to continue killing demons. His eagerness to kill demons was so big that he advanced the date of the next Extermination to six months instead of a year.

Abilities

 * Angelic power - As an angel, he most likely possessed powerful angelic power, especially as the leader of the Exorcists. His strength was proven to be immense as he was able to easily overwhelm both Alastor and later Charlie, who'd assumed her full demon form and could have won had Lucifer not interfered.
 * Portal creation - Adam could create portals for other Angels to use, notably to transport himself and his exorcist army to Hell at the start of each annual extermination. He could also open portals to banish people to Hell.
 * Conjuration - Adam could summon objects as he pleased, summoning his guitar during Hell is Forever, a golden scroll informing Charlie of Heaven's decision to move up the next Extermination, and a piece of golden paper to write on in court.
 * Alteration - Adam also showed he could alter the objects he created, such as when he transformed his Guitar into a battle axe and then made it larger while fighting Alastor.
 * Light Manipulation - Adam could fire blasts of holy light strong enough to vaporize Sir Pentious and his war machine in one blast and slice tall buildings in half. He also showed he could channel his light through his guitar/axe to create powerful blades of light that were able to cut through Alastor's cane.
 * Flight - Adam had a set of wings that he could use to fly.

Skillset

 * Musical talent - He was capable of singing and in "Overture" was implied to have been part of a band.
 * Guitar-playing - Adam was talented at playing the guitar and did so seemingly whenever he could.
 * Strength - He was shown to be able to smash an item in front of him with brute strength in a moment of rage, and later shatter Alastor's barrier with a single punch. He was later shown to be strong enough to physically overpower Charlie, despite the latter assuming her full demon form.
 * Axe Proficiency - Adam wielded his guitar-axe with amazing skill as he could fight out and seriously wound Alastor during their duel.
 * Leadership - Adam appeared to be at least capable of leading the Exorcists and showed some degree of strategy in the last scene of "Overture".
 * Pain Tolerance - Despite having not experienced pain for likely millennia, Adam was able to shrug off getting stabbed by Charlie with her trident and get right back up after being punched in the face by Lucifer.

Trivia

 * Adam shares the same name as the created by God in the biblical story of Genesis. "Overture" confirms that he is indeed the same figure.
 * As Adam is the ancestor of all of humanity, all human souls in heaven and hell are his descendants.
 * Adam is left-handed, as demonstrated by how he plays the guitar (dominant hand strums).
 * Ironically, left-handedness has historically had negative connotations and was often seen as a sign of an evil person.
 * The guitar that Adam plays is made of a U-shaped harp connected to the other end of another subsequent harp.
 * In "Overture", Adam states that ribs are his favorite food. This is a reference to how his second wife, Eve, was created by using one of his ribs in the biblical story. However, it is unknown if Eve being created from his rib is canon in the series.
 * Possibly Adam and Lute.png silhouette somewhat reminiscent of Adam can be seen during the opening scenes of the Hazbin Hotel pilot, although lacking a halo and bearing a pointed head.
 * In "The Show Must Go On", Lucifer mentions that he "really let himself go", indicating that he is probably obese beneath his cloak.
