Lute

"Sinful filth like you has no place in Heaven."

- Lute, to Vaggie, when she stripped her of her status

Lute is an Exorcist and an antagonist in Hazbin Hotel. She is Adam's lieutenant.

Appearance
Lute appears to have a near identical appearance to other Exorcists. The only visual differences appear to be that her halo and right pupil are black with a white glow instead of white, and she has bloodstains on her dress.

Without her mask, Lute has short white hair, pale skin and golden eyes.

Personality
Lute is Adam's stoic subordinate who is always by his side. She and Adam appear to have a friendly relationship, with Adam complimenting her on her large kill count, and Lute joining him in his antics. Like Adam, she enjoys her status as an Angel and dislikes the very idea that Angels can make mistakes. Lute especially shows a sadistic side in demeaning Charlie, specifically on how her father feels about her.

Like all Exorcists, she doesn't care about Sinners and resorts to killing them every year in the extermination, and takes pride in how many demons she's killed. In fact, based on her interaction with Charlie, Lute would be happy to target all denizens of Hell, Sinner and Hellborn alike, during the Exterminations, which shows a high bloodlust for an angel. However, when they discover a deceased Exorcist, Lute is furious at their death and desires retribution, demanding they return to destroy every demon immediately to avenge them.

However, Lute has also shown to have a strong sense of loyalty to Heaven, as shown where despite despising all Demons, Sinners, and Hellborns alike, she follows the pardon arranged by Lucifer with Heaven for the Exorcists to leave the Hellborn Demons alone and only target Sinners. Lute herself has shown to be very loyal to Sera and Adam, her superiors and follows their orders without hesitation. As shown where she takes the more responsible role and makes sure to remind Adam the seriousness of his duties and made sure to follow Sera’s orders of keeping the Extermination a secret from the rest of Heaven.

She is shown to be bigoted given that she calls Charlie and Vaggie's relationship "blasphemous", though it's unknown if she's homophobic or finds the idea of a hellborn and fallen angel together to be disgusting.

Trivia

 * During the Hazbin Hotel pilot, one of the Exorcists shown during the introduction song bears a facial expression matching that of Lute's.
 * Furthermore, during the opening scenes of the pilot, a horned silhouette resembling an Exorcist is standing beside someone reminiscent of Adam. Given that the two were pictured together in a teaser, it is possible the silhouette may also be Lute.
