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, making him Angel Dust's boss. He is one of the main antagonists of Hazbin Hotel.

Appearance
Valentino is a slender moth demon with muted blue skin, hot pink eyes, a mouth full of sharp hot pink teeth with one gold tooth which is also shared by Angel Dust.

Valentino has black hands (or maybe gloves) that slightly go lighter at the tips and the wrists. Additionally, Valentino is of high stature, estimated to be about 10 feet tall.

He has a black and white striped fur-lined red coat with his own creamy white fur making up the "collar" with hearts implanted in it, and plain white fur cuffs.

His coat has an appearance of zebra print beneath. He also wears a matching top hat, with two antennae, the left having a feather with a zebra print and the right looking damaged, while his eyes are covered by pink and gold heart sunglasses, and he sports long black boots with stiletto heels.

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

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

Valentino is depicted being controlling and abusive towards Angel, taking most of the earnings he makes at work and forcing him to participate in things against his will. He also seems to take sadistic enjoyment from sexually assaulting Angel and remains unbothered by the trauma he is inflicting.

Valentino is frequently depicted 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".

Natural Abilities

 * Charisma: Valentino possesses a flamboyant and vivacious charm that allows him to persuade others to his authority.

Skillset

 * Weapon Proficiency: As shown in the prequel comic, Valentino was able to shoot the mafia boss Angel Dust was making a deal with straight in the head all the way from the backseat of his limousine.

Unique Abilities

 * Smoke Manipulation: In the "ADDICT" music video, Valentino exhales a strange red smoke from his cigarettes that has the ability to twist and form different shapes, entering the bodies of other demons, seemingly as Valentino directs it. However, a similar smoke is also present in a cigarette Angel smokes, making it unknown whether this is an ability natural to Valentino or just a particular type of the cigarette he has in his posession.
