Adam

"No, you don't get to end this! I'm fucking Adam! I'm the fucking man, and you're just some fucking clown or something. I started everything on Earth! All of mankind came from these fucking nuts! You all should be worshipping me, you ungrateful, disgusting, fucking losers!"

- Adam's breakdown before his death.

Adam was an Angel and the main antagonist of the first season of Hazbin Hotel. He made his official debut alongside his subordinate, Lute, in "Overture".

He was the first human man created alongside the first human soul to enter Heaven. After becoming an angel, he was delegated to command over his personal private military force known as Exorcists, and served Heaven as forerunner of the Extermination movement.

In "The Show Must Go On", he was defeated by Lucifer Morningstar and killed by Niffty.

Appearance
Adam is an angel with a human appearance, he wears a mask that appears similar to other Exorcists, however, with normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. The mask also holds a pair of horns similar to an exorcist, albeit longer, smoother, and with a golden ornamental attachment on the tips.

Under his mask he has dirty brown hair, fair skin, and golden eyes. he also sports a stubble beard on his chin.

He also has a pair of large and golden wings on his back. In contrast to other angels that have appeared thus far, Adam's halo is bright gold in appearance.

He wears a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands are black in appearance, as well as having golden tip spikes on the back of his collar.

Personality
Adam appears very egotistical, misogynistic, and unsympathetic. As leader of his Exorcist army, he takes his stance as the Exorcists' head figure very seriously, sending antagonistic threats towards demons and anyone for standing in their way or whoever disobeys his command, as he had done so with Vaggie for refusing to kill an innocent demon sinner child, cutting her wings, and leaving her in Hell.

He also displays traits of extreme narcissism and chauvinism, believing himself the perfect man due to being the first and claiming he has never made a mistake in his life, since he was the first man to be born on Earth, and he claims that all the male bloodline came from him, this also leads to Adam seemingly to have developed a god complex for having fathered the beginning humanity.

Adam does not appear to be aware that his egotistical and depraved behaviour towards Lilith was the cause of her leaving him. When meeting Charlie Morningstar, he doesn't hate her for being a child of the woman he was married to before she fell in love with Lucifer, and was relatively patient with her, although remained dismissive of her suggestions. Adam is also sexist, constantly addressing other women as "bitches" and enjoys their sexual depravity, as he admits to Vaggie that her forbidden love relationship with Charlie was "hot as fuck", albeit it is unclear whether this was in reference to their genders or them being angel and demon. In spite of this, he seems to have a good relationship with Lute, whom he seems to have in very high esteem, even though he is her superior.

Despite his obliviousness, Adam does show moments of common sense and self-awareness, such as when the death of an Exorcist was discovered, he knew that if they decided to kill the Sinners now after just one week after the most recent Extermination, then demons would catch on to how Exorcists can be killed. Adam also knows when to slow down on his egoism, after inadvertently exposing the purpose of the Extermination to all the courts of Heaven, including Sera, the highest seraphim authority in Heaven and the one who ordered that no one but the Exorcists can know.

Adam may enjoy playing music, specifically with a guitar, as he outright claims to be in a band.

Abilities

 * Angelic power - As an angel, he most likely possesses powerful angelic power, especially as the leader of the Exorcists. His strength is proven to be quite high as he was able to easily overwhelm both Alastor and later Charlie, who'd assumed her full demon form, and would've won had Lucifer not interfered.
 * Portal creation - Adam can create portals for other Angels to use, notably to transport himself and his exorcist army to Hell at the start of each annual extermination. He can also open portals to banish people to Hell.
 * Conjuration - Adam can summon objects as he pleases, summoning his guitar during Hell is Forever, and a scroll informing Charlie of Heaven's decision to move up the next Extermination.
 * Alteration- Adam also showed he can alter the objects he creates, such as when he transformed his Guitar into a battle axe and then made it larger while fighting Alastor.
 * Light Manipulation - Adam can fire blasts of holy light strong enough to vaporize Sir Pentious' war machine in one blast and slice buildings in half. He also showed he can channel his light through his guitar/axe to create powerful blades of light that were able to cut through Alastor's cane.
 * Flight - Adam has a set of wings that he can use to fly.

Skillset

 * Musical talent - He is capable of singing and in "Overture" is implied to be part of a band.
 * Guitar-playing - Adam is talented with playing the guitar and does so seemingly whenever he can.
 * Strength - He is shown to be able to smash an item in front of him with brute strength in a moment of rage. He is later shown to be strong enough to physically overpower Charlie, despite the later assuming her full demon form.
 * Leadership - Adam appears to be at least capable in leading the Exorcists and shows some degree of strategy in the last scene of "Overture".
 * Pain Tolerance - Despite having not experienced pain for likely millennia, Adam is able to shrug off getting stabbed by Charlie with her pitchfork and get right back up after being punched in the face by Lucifer.

Past
Adam, along with Lilith, were the first humans created on Earth by the Angels, made to be equal. However, Adam wanted total control over Lilith, but Lilith refused and left him. Adam would later be given a new wife, Eve.

At some point, Adam received divine ordainment and would become the leader of the Exorcists.

"Overture"
Adam and Lucifer were set to meet in the Heaven Embassy, but Lucifer sent Charlie to meet with him instead. When they meet, Adam messed with Charlie twice; offering a handshake even though he was a hologram, and offering food when the food is also a hologram.

He wasted discussion time talking about his activities in Heaven until Charlie finally talks about having a solution to their "biggest problem", which is the overpopulation crisis in Hell. Charlie tries to explain her plan on rehabilitating Sinners, but Adam mocks the idea in a song and then states how he and the other Angels have moved the Extermination to take place six months early because he "couldn't wait a whole year to slaughter demons". He then shoves Charlie out the door.

Later, he sits in a room watching a drone look for a deceased Exorcist, and once found reveals that in six months they intend on killing every Sinner to make sure there is none left alive to kill another Exorcist again.

"Welcome to Heaven"
During Charlie and Vaggie's visit in heaven, he and Lute recognized Vaggie and paid her a visit. He asked her to work with him during the hearing at the court or he would reveal her true origins to Charlie.

During the hearing, he was asked how human souls ascend, fumbling for a while before handing a paper with three directives. While observing, he held his position that sinners can't be redeemed despite Angel dust's actions completing the three directives he had set out. During the debate, he accidentally revealed the extermination to the court, and then revealed Vaggie's true nature to Charlie, shocking her. After the court ruled that sinners cannot be redeemed, Adam threatened Charlie that during extermination he would attack her Hotel first.

"The Show Must Go On"
On extermination day Adam launched the attack on the hotel first as threatened. He was shocked to see that the demons are using their own weapons against them. Angered and annoyed he proceeded to destroy Alastor's shield and engaged the later. After a brief confrontation he managed to seriously injure the overlord, forcing him to flee. He then attacked the demons, killing Sir Pentious. He is then attacked by Charlie but manages to gain the upper hand. Before he could strike a decisive blow, he was attacked by Lucifer, who easily defeated him. Despite being badly injured he still got up and berated Charlie and her companions, only to be stabbed in the back by Nifty killing him.

Trivia

 * Adam shares the same name as the created by God in the biblical story of Genesis. "Overture" confirms that he is indeed the same figure.
 * Adam is left-handed, as demonstrated by how he plays the guitar (dominant hand strums).
 * Ironically, left-handedness has historically had negative connotations and was often seen as a sign of an evil person.
 * The guitar that Adam plays is made of a U-Shaped harp connected to the other end of another subsequent harp.
 * In "Overture", Adam states that ribs are his favorite food. This is a reference to how his second wife, Eve, was created by using one of his own ribs in the biblical story. However, it is unknown if Eve being created from his rib is canon in the series.
 * Possibly Adam and Lute.png silhouette somewhat reminiscent of Adam can be seen during the opening scenes of the Hazbin Hotel pilot, although lacking a halo and bearing a pointed head.
 * As shown in “The Show Must Go On”, While Adam is extremely powerful, stronger than an Overlord like Alastor, much like his Exorcists, Adam is very sloppy and unskilled in actual fighting and has low combat skills. As shown where he mainly relied on his own raw power to injure and overpower his opponents. As shown from his fight with Alastor, where the latter held the advantage for a majority of the fight and Charlie easily stabbing him with her trident when he came in too close to gloat at her. This lack of actual fighting skills was further highlighted when he was easily overpowered by Lucifer Morningstar, a Fallen Angel who was much stronger and more powerful than him.
 * As Adam is the ancestor of all of humanity, all human souls in heaven and hell are his descendants.
