Sir Pentious

"You whores have no class! In war, the side remembered is the side with the most...style!"

- Sir Pent, to Angel and Cherri

Sir Pentious is an antagonist, an inventor, and a snake demon in Hazbin Hotel. He is Cherri's arch-rival, with both of them constantly locked in turf wars over new territory after exterminations.

Background
Sir Pentious was a brilliant Victorian-era inventor and supervillain during his lifetime. His main goal is to gain complete control of Hell, though he has failed multiple times so far. He is an expert with building and working with machines and devices, and he has an army of sentient, egg-looking minions known as the Egg Bois.

When he invades Happy Hotel, Alastor steps in and takes down Sir Pentious by summoning tentacles.

Appearance
Sir Pentious is a snake demon with eyes that have pink sclera with black, narrow pupils. His hood is mostly yellow, with the tips being black. He has 4 pink eye patterns on his hood. He has a long neck. Sir Pentious wears a black and yellow bow tie, a yellow shirt with a pink eye on it, and a coat which is grey with yellow vertical stripes. He has sharp, pink claws for fingers. Sir Pentious's tail is black with thick, yellow stripes, and many pink eyes are present on his tail. He also wears a top hat which, just like him, has sharp, yellow teeth and a pink eye. The top hat seems to be alive, as it blinks and changes expressions in unison with Sir Pentious.

Personality
Sir Pentious is bombastic, flamboyant, and persistent, having the personality one would expect from an old school 60s villains. He takes pride in how evil he is, at one point he said: "I'm so evil".

As noted by Angel Dust, Sir Pentious really doesn't get sexual innuendos. This can be due to the fact he's from the late 19th century when sexual innuendos and sex jokes weren't really a thing.

Egg Bois
The Egg Bois are Sir Pentious's minions. They are excessively sycophantic and seem to adore everything about their boss and seek for his approval. However, he has a tendency of abusing the Egg Bois and be somewhat aggressive towards them whenever he gets annoyed.

Cherri Bomb
Cherri Bomb is Sir Pentious's Arch Rival, fighting him in turf wars. She appears to not take him seriously and mocks him during battle.

Angel Dust
In "That's Entertainment", Angel helps Cherri fight Sir Pentious in the turf war, in which he constantly mocks him with various sex jokes. Sir Pentious mistakes him for his son after misunderstanding Angel's attempt to call him 'Daddy" as a joke.

Alastor
Alastor and Sir Pentious apparently to know each other before The Pilot and are enemies, at least from Sir Pentious's perspective; Alastor doesn't seem to recognize him, or take him seriously, as he answers "Do I know you?" after Sir Pentious threatened Alastor. It is implied that Alastor defeated him previously.

Trivia

 * The shortened version of his name, Sir Pent, is a play on the word "serpent".
 * His name might also be derived from the word "pretentious", which means "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed".
 * Sir Pentious is not the main antagonist. However, he is one of the villains.
 * During a stream, it is mentioned that he has a crush, though it is not mentioned who.
 * On the HAZBIN HOTEL Charity Sketch Request Stream Ft. Vivziepop, Cherri Bomb, and Angel Dust! live stream, when asked if Sir Pentious has established sexuality, Vivziepop said that she has not decided, and as of right now it's not story relevant, but he may be bisexual.
 * However, she also said that this information could change in the future.
 * VivziePop has stated that there was a line for Sir Pentious that was scrapped. This line was, "I'm quite the epic dabber!", which would elicit an audible, embarrassed reaction from his army of Egg Bois.
 * Vivizepop confirmed that they cut it because it was too bad to actually use, but she did confirm that Will Stamper (Sir Pentious's voice actor) and Joe Gran (the Egg Bois' voice actor) did record the line.
 * According to Vivziepop, Sir Pentious was originally supposed to be a one-off, minor character, as he was supposed to be the villain just for the pilot only. But he grew on Vivienne and the Hazbin Hotel fans so much that she decided to give him a bigger role in the series.
 * Originally, Sir Pentious was a fallen supervillain, which is why he acts the way he does.
 * Sir Pentious is super goofy but has moments of being a really good, evil villain and Viv is very interested to see what the fans will do about that.
 * Like Angel Dust, Sir Pentious has a venomous bite that can make his victim either sick or drugged.
 * Despite having a venomous bite, it's deemed to be a last resort during a conflict.
 * In a fight, Sir Pentious would prioritize the use of machines, weaponry, and his army of Egg Bois, as he isn't skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
 * According to VivziePop, another character helped Sir Pentious create the Egg Bois.
 * Sir Pentious's introduction in the Pilot episode of Hazbin Hotel during the report references the "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme, with Sir Pentious pulling the same expression and holding a skateboard as Steve Buscemi in the original meme. This could be a reference to Sir Pent attempting to "fit in" due to Cherri's "old man" comments.
 * During the 666 news, the screen showing Sir Pentious in hipster skateboard attire is a direct reference to the 30s Rock episode "The Tuxedo Begins".
 * When asked how often he uses his skateboard, Vivziepop said that the skateboard was 100% just for show and she doesn't think he can actually ride it.
 * In the pilot, he is implied to have a son when he mistakes Angel for his son when the latter taunts him. According to Vivziepop, this was meant for the sake of the joke and left it ambiguous.
