Stolas/History

Past
Much of Stolas's past remains shrouded in mystery, although it is known that he is one of several children of the Goetia King known as Paimon.

When he turned old enough, Stolas was informed that his duties in Hell would involve studying the skies of Earth, the stars and various prophecies involved with them; he was then given a book granting him access to the living world, to study and raise an army of followers. While Stolas was excited about learning his new duties, he was less than pleased about hearing he was betrothed to an avian demon named Stella. After his father and servant took him to a carnival to calm him, Stolas saw a pair of imp clowns and was mesmerized by one of them, who he learned was named Blitzo. After Paimon paid Blitzo's father to have the imp spend time with Stolas for his birthday, the two spent the day enjoying the company of each other before Blitzo returned to the circus and disappeared for over two decades.

Stolas would eventually follow his father's request and marry Stella, with them having a daughter named Octavia. As the years went by, Stolas' family life started to fall apart, despite his sincere efforts to make things work for the sake of his daughter.

Stolas began seeking solace elsewhere and one day during a party hosted by Stella, he learned that an imp had been trying to break into his house. Seeing it was Blitzo, Stolas took him away and assumed his old friend came back for sexual purposes. Due to several miscommunications, Stolas eventually found himself blindfolded and tied down to his bed and was appreciative that his first ever friend was the only one who seemed to care about him. Upon the next morning, Stolas was awoken to Stella screaming about Blitzo, who had just escaped out the balcony window and apologized for having sex with him.

Even though Blitzo abandoned him and took the grimoire, Stolas greatly enjoyed the experience and began to lust after the imp.

Helluva Boss pilot
At an unknown period of time, Stolas called in a favor to Blitzo and commissioned him to assassinate a political candidate on Earth.

"Murder Family"
Stolas, in the middle of a bath, makes a call to Blitzo while hiding from Martha, and unaware of Blitzo's current situation, asks for his grimoire back, as he needed it to perform his duties.

Stolas then offers to let Blitzo keep the book as an exchange of services, requesting he and Blitzo regularly have sex on the full moon of every month, and in return, Blitzo can keep the book for the rest of the time.

Blitzo hastily agrees to the deal, and Stolas goes off on an elated and obscene rant about his sexual fantasies with Blitzo, which continues long after Blitzo loses the phone.

"Loo Loo Land"
Stella finds out about Stolas' affair with Blitzo and has an emotional lashing out at Stolas; Stolas himself does not express any regrets or apologize over the incident, making things even more tumultuous. After Stella storms out of the room furious, Stolas decides to get himself and Octavia out of the house by visiting Loo Loo Land.

He calls Blitzo again and hires his group as bodyguards to guard himself and Octavia during their visit to the park. However, despite trying to bond with Octavia, Stolas starts flirting with Blitzo and even allows other imps to attempt kidnapping him just so Blitzo can save him.

Things take a turn for the worse when they visit the FizzaRolli 'n Friends attraction Octavia despised as a child, which aggravates her even more. Eventually, Octavia can no longer tolerate it, and she runs off to the fun house with Stolas chasing her.

During the ride, Stolas and Octavia talk about their current situation. Stolas finally realizes that Octavia was not having a fun time, being upset at him for ruining their family. Stolas tries to tell Octavia why he cheated on Stella but couldn't find the right words.

Once he finds out that Octavia is afraid of her father abandoning her, Stolas reassures her that he would never do that, and their relationship is reconciled. Departing the ride together, Stolas and Octavia exit the park, where the park is in flames due to the antics of the I.M.P.

Stolas asks Octavia what she would like to do, and she requests if he can take her to Stylish Occult. Stolas is perplexed about initially, but agrees, and Octavia tells him he's not so bad at times.

"The Harvest Moon Festival"
After a night of sex with Blitzo, Stolas takes back the grimoire so that he could summon the Harvest Moon and fulfill his hosting duties at the Harvest Moon Festival. He also invites Blitzo and I.M.P as special guests at the festival, which Blitzo accepts.

During the festival, however, he is targeted by Striker, an imp hired to kill him. Blitzo and Moxxie intercept Striker before he can assassinate the prince and thwart his attempt on Stolas' life, despite Striker managing to escape.

What Stolas doesn't know is that he was being targeted by Striker on Stella's behalf, as revenge for his infidelity. Stolas can be seen eating dinner with the rest of his family while Stella is on the phone with Striker, apparently unaware of her or not paying attention to the phone call, before turning his head briefly when he notices her glaring at him.

"Truth Seekers"
A short time after, Stolas appears, in his full demonic form, at the D.H.O.R.K.S. Facility in the human realm to rescue the members of I.M.P after they were captured by Agent One and Agent Two.

Stolas lets the two agents live, dismissing them as kooks who weren't to be believed by the public.

"Ozzie's"
Later on, Stolas was spending a depressing evening alone at home, eating cereal and binge-watching telenovelas due to Octavia being with her mother for the weekend.

Then he receives a call from Blitzo inviting him out to Ozzie's, much to Stolas's surprise. Unaware that Blitzo was really only using Stolas to get through the door and spy on Moxxie and Millie, Stolas excitedly agrees and prepares for what he believed was he and Blitzo's first date.

Stolas arrives in the Lust Ring through a portal to where Blitzo is. Once seated inside Ozzie's, Stolas attempts to make small talk with Blitzo, but the latter is distracted by his spying on the couple. Stolas briefly becomes concerned upon Fizzarolli mentioning Asmodeus was in the audience.

Later, he watches Moxxie perform onstage, but when Fizzarolli and Asmodeus interrupt Moxxie's song for Millie and turn to humiliating Blitzo instead, Asmodeus recognizes Stolas as Blitzo's date and calls him out for sleeping with Blitzo instead of focusing on Stella and Octavia, causing Stolas to become greatly embarrassed.

Blitzo also feels embarrassment and although Stolas tries to comfort him, Blitzo decides to leave the club, taking Stolas with him.

Blitzo drives Stolas back to his mansion, and when Stolas tries to invite Blitzo to stay awhile, Blitzo frustratedly refuses, stating that their relationship was nothing more than Stolas wanting to have sex with him. Upset but conceding to his request, Stolas bids Blitzo goodnight, and as Blitzo pulls away, Stolas sheds tears and sits on his front steps in a lonely depression.

"Western Energy"
Stolas was invited to a café to have some tea with Stella and her brother Andrealphus to discuss about their upcoming divorce. Andrealphus tried to put Stella in a sympathetic light about Stolas cheating on her and deserve some compensation, but Stolas refused since cheating involved a betrayal: since Stella never cared about him or the marriage, then there was no betrayal and the divorce was long overdue. Then Striker came in and successfully kidnaps Stolas using blessed rope.

Stolas called Blitzo to come rescue him, but was unable to due to taking Loona for her Hellbies shot but sent Moxxie and Millie to do it. As Stolas was in Striker's cave tied up on train tracks as Striker is preparing to torture him. Stolas the criticize Striker saying tied up on trains is cliché and sarcastically ask if the giant statue of himself with a huge erection is a classic. This results in Striker angrily revealing his hatred for the royals for not only having fancy things, but taking away everything the lower class care and work hard for. Then Striker stabs Stolas in the shoulder and steps on the wound continuing to rant about his hatred.

Stolas pointed out to Striker hypocritical claim about hating royals when Striker himself is working for one and kick Striker in the face. This result Striker breaking Stolas' leg by stomping on, stabbing his leg, and even threaten to use the knife to slit Stolas' throat, Stolas doesn't give in the pain and just claim how Blitzo handle him rougher in bed much to the disgust of Striker.

Striker began to beat and torture Stolas more. Just when Striker was about to kill him, Stella called him and called off the hit saying they need to get the divorce more in order. Striker then decided to cut out Stolas's eyes as a trophy, but Moxxie and Millie came and battle Striker. After the battle, Stolas goes unconscious from his injures and was taken to the hospital by Moxxie and Millie.

In his hospital room, Stolas get a text from Blitzo telling him to get well soon. Touched, Stolas texts back saying he will be in the hospital for a while and can visit anytime he wants. When Blitzo doesn't text back, Stolas looking sad put his phone back on the table and fell asleep.
