Valentino

"What have I told you countless times, sweetheart? Regarding you, work, and my affairs?"

- Valentino, to Angel in the prequel comics

Valentino is one of the many Overlords of Hell, as well as the owner of Porn Studios. He is Angel Dust's boss and one of the main antagonists of Hazbin Hotel.

Appearance
Valentino is a slender moth demon with greyish-lavender skin and cerise-pink eyes, over which he is always depicted wearing gold-rimmed heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise-pink lenses.

He has a wide mouth full of sharp, pointed teeth and possesses a single golden fang that sits to his far left of center, a feature he shares with his employee, Angel Dust.

Valentino has black hands, or perhaps gloves, that taper to a lighter gradient at the fingertips.

Valentino's stature is tall, estimated to be around 10 ft, which he emphasizes with long black heeled boots. He wears a floor-length vivid-red coat, which features a white fur trim at the wrists, as well as black and white striped fur trim down the coat center-front to the bottom hem.

A large fluffy white 'collar' decorated with small red love-hearts is wrapped around his neck - this plumes up from his coat's break-line, although it is unclear whether this collar is attached to his body or the coat.

His coat is pinned with a gold chain and gold love-heart shaped broach fastenings at the breast.

Valentino accessorizes with a matching vivid-red top hat, that has a wide, asymmetrical zebra-print hat-band. Two appendages sprout from the band of the hat: on his left, one black spiked antennae, and on his right, what appears to be a large black and white striped feather.

According to Faustisse, Valentino wears fishnets under his coat and is bald.

Personality
Valentino has been described by Faustisse as being charming and roughly as level-headed as his fellow Overlord, Vox.

Valentino is depicted as being controlling and abusive, specifically towards one of his star employees, Angel Dust. He also displays sadistic tendencies, appearing to take enjoyment in overidding Angel's consent, and remains seemingly unbothered by the trauma he is inflicting.

Valentino is frequently surrounded by a collection of the girls who work for him.

He is ostentatious in displaying both his profession and status. Faustisse bluntly described him as "a huge fuckboi".
