Asmodeus

"♫ Gimme a thrust! Show me some lust, from the groin to the bust! In desire, we trust. In the house of Asmodeus~ ♫"

- Asmodeus, about his establishment

Asmodeus, better known as Ozzie, is a character from Helluva Boss. He is the owner of the Lust Ring's club and dinner theater restaurant, Ozzie's, with a high-standing in the Lust Ring itself.

Appearance
Asmodeus is a large, vibrantly-colored, burly demon of a staggering posture. He has long arms and digitigrade legs, a broad upper chest and narrow waist, and a tuft of cyan rooster-like tail feathers that have three sickle tail feathers colored red, black and ivory-white.

His head is colored dark blue and has large feathers running to his chest. He has a thick mane of cyan hair, in which are two additional faces of a ram and a bull on the right and left sides, respectively, which react to what he says and can speak and sing along with him.

He has glowing neon green eyes and mouth on his main head.

He wears a navy-blue vest with two pairs of glowing white stripes on the upper half and a red undershirt with blue cuffs that have red heart-shaped cuff links. Asmodeus wears a top-hat on his primary head with red and white head feathers sticking out from its red-colored band. On his legs are jagged high-heel shoes that have red-colored tips.

When he first appears, Asmodeus wore a lined purple coat with pointed shoulder pads and collar that had a pink inner lining. The coat also contained a dark fur collar that obscures his head.

Personality
Asmodeus poses a very boastful and arrogant attitude, especially whenever something contrasts with his reputation being the embodiment of lust. He has shown to take in great pride with his status, not hesitating to put down others who have a sentimental demeanor with their partners, possibly being disgusted by it as well. He takes in great pleasure with having other demons display their amorous desires, as shown with his attempt to convince Moxxie to sing more erotically during his performance. He is also shown to tease or humiliate others regarding their relationship, such as how he belittles Stolas upon seeing him in his club with an Imp and shamelessly brought up the former's wife and daughter and how he chose to be with Blitzo comparing to everything he has accomplished out of lust.

Asmodeus is shown to have a soft spot for Fizzarolli since he looked concerned for him when Millie attacked him with Moxxie's guitar. He was also seen cuddling with Fizzarolli when Moxxie was finishing his song, as well as holding him while telling Moxxie and Millie to leave.

Skillset

 * Musical talent: Much like Verosika Mayday, Asmodeus possesses a very eloquent singing voice. This skill is used as a way of spreading his amorous power and influence.

Unique Abilities

 * Smoke manipulation: Asmodeus has the ability to manipulate pink and blue smoke, being able to use it as a means to generate immense amount of smoke, teleportation and materializing apparitions of other demons.
 * Teleportation: Asmodeus can teleport himself and other entities to various place, appearing in an explosion of blue smoke.
 * Hallucikinesis: Asmodeus can conjure and create illusions with the form of other demons using his smoke, as seen when making illusions of Stella and Octavia when embarrassing Stolas in front of the audience.
 * Environment manipulation: Asmodeus can warp the colors, ambience, and illumination of every room and palace where he is, as we see when the local of Ozzie's change when Asmodeus sings his musical number.
 * Superhuman strength: Due to his size, Asmodeus possesses unnatural physical strength, and is able to lift smaller beings like Imps within the palm of his hand.

Trivia

 * Asmodeus is based on the popular demon of the same name known for having multiple renditions, which are referenced in the character's depiction in the series.
 * In Binsfeld's classification of demons, Asmodeus is one of the seven Princes of Hell, representing Lust. Likewise, Asmodeus in Helluva Boss operates in the Lust Ring.
 * Him having three faces and rooster-like legs and tail is a reference to the actual demon's appearance in the Book of Tobit and the Lesser Key of Solomon, where it illustrates him as having the heads of a man, a ram, and a bull with the legs and tail of a rooster.
 * Though while in the Book of Tobit and the Lesser Key of Solomon depicted Asmodeus's bull head being on the right side and the ram on the left, this depiction of Asmodeus has the bull and ram heads inverted on the opposite side with the bull being on the left and the ram on the right.
 * The demon is also a King of the Ars Goetia in the Lesser Key of Solomon. The Goetic seal can be seen in the platform of Ozzie's club. Furthermore, Asmodeus is familiar with Stolas, who is also part of the Ars Goetia.
 * While Asmodeus is shown to be an imposing figure in the Lust Ring, it is not stated whether he rules the entire ring. For this same reason, it is unknown if he is part of the class of demons known as the Seven Deadly Sins.
 * It is implied that Asmodeus's status is above Stolas's in the demon hierarchy, given Stolas quickly panicked upon hearing Asmodeus's name and was completely helpless to the latter's taunts.
 * Early ideas of Asmodeus included three skulls for heads that could take turns rotating in place of the main head. Later design ideas focused on the rooster aspect of the character such as an elongated face with eyes and beak, or taloned legs akin to those of Stolas's.
 * As shown in Blitzo's phone at the end of the episode "Ozzie's", there is an app parodying the real-life online dating app, Tinder, named "Lustinder", with Asmodeus's silhouette being the icon, which may imply that the app is owned by him or simply attributed to him.
 * Ozzie, Vortex, as well as the lizard demon seen in the bar who criticizes Charlie's advertisement for the hotel from the Hazbin Hotel pilot all share the same voice actor, with the three being voiced by James Monroe Iglehart.
