Vox

"Show off. All hat and no cattle."

- Alastor, about Vox in The Radio Demon comic

Vox is one of the many Overlords of Hell and is planned to be a major antagonist in Hazbin Hotel.

He is Alastor's rival, and a close associate of Valentino and Velvette.

Appearance
Vox is a slim, technology-themed demon, standing at approximately 7 feet with a flat-screen TV for a head. The monitor projects two eyes with red sclera and light blue pupils, the outline and wrinkles of his left eye being cyan, and a mouth with sharp teeth that glows light blue.

His skin is dark grey and his fingers are light blue from the second knuckle.

He wears a dark blue tuxedo with lighter stripes and a black and red striped shirt. He has a red bow tie and a light blue undershirt with an upside-down broadcast symbol.

On his head, Vox wears a black top hat with red and blue designs reminiscent of a broadcast symbol and radio wave symbol, respectively. His TV antennae stick out the top of the hat, the right one bent into a zigzag.

Personality
Vox is stated to be quite the showman, and a charismatic, egotistical, and manipulative individual who craves attention.

Like Velvette, he is always keeping up with the latest trends and technology. Unlike Velvette, though, Vox has been described as being level-headed by Faustisse.

Faustisse has also described him as not being a polite person.

Abilities

 * Electrokinesis: Depending on his emotions, Vox possesses the ability to control electricity. For instance, he can travel through television monitors and control them as he pleases. Vox can also turn into electricity. If he's angered, he can potentially make it so that a Hell-wide blackout happens.
 * Scrying: As shown in the prequel comic, A Day in the Afterlife, Vox is seemingly able to see through other screens, appearing to stare directly at Alastor while projecting into the TV display of a window-fronted store.
