Valentino/History

Past
Not much is currently known about Valentino's history, other than he was a human who passed away the 1970's and his soul was damned to Hell.

At some point, Valentino founded Porn Studios and was placed in charge of the Adult Film Industry. His power and influence grew over time and he eventually became one of the Overlords of Hell. He eventually met Velvette and Vox, with the possibility that he fell in love with him even though he regularly has sex with others to this day. The three became the Overload subgroup known as the Vees.

Before the events of the prequel comic, Valentino hired Angel Dust as one of his many sex workers. Valentino would often act very harsh and aggressive towards his workers and, while it's not been confirmed, it is implied that he raped Angel several times as a form of punishment or when the latter came up short on his monthly rent. He at some point gave Angel a pig named Fat Nuggets as a pet.

Hazbin Hotel pilot
Valentino is seen in the pilot alongside his fellow Overlords Vox and Velvette inside his studio after the Extermination ended. He is seen texting Angel inquiring him on where his money is.

"Radio Killed the Video Star"
In Radio Killed the Video Star, Valentino started to go on a rampage after learning Angel moved out. Velvette, whose department he is destroying along with her employees, orders his "boy toy" Vox to try to calm him down. Valentino was close into committing a hotel-wide shooting, even trying to find a gun which made him look sexier, when Vox immediately shoots down his plan. Vox points out that the Vees' brand is perfection and Valentino would make them look weak if it seemed he couldn't control his employees. Reluctantly he backs down. He reveals that another sinner is currently taking residency at the hotel: Vox's sworn enemy Alastor.

Later on during a meeting on what to do to prevent Charlie and Alastor from making a deal, Valentino was decorating one of his guns with gemstones. He suggests "putting something inside them", which Vox interprets as hiring a mole with no direct ties and easily expendable. Val points out he'd hired nearly every loser sinner in their side of Hell, so he doesn't know who's left.
