Exorcists

"Angels wield no shields, little armor, and fight with reckless abandon."

- Carmilla Carmine, about the Exorcists

The Exorcists are the central antagonists of Hazbin Hotel.

They are Angels part of Adam's personal private military force to sent down from Heaven every year in an event known as the Extermination to kill demons to manage Hell's overpopulation.

Appearance
Exorcists appear to have a fairly uniform appearance, each being black, white, and gray humanoids with a black halo that has a downward crystal at the front and point a small black ball and upward crystal floating above it. Their uniforms consist of a gray colored short dress with a white sash belt, black leggings, alongside long white colored gloves and thigh-high heeled boots, underneath which they wear an additional pair of long dark gray gloves and thigh-length stockings. They also have a pair of large gray wings on their backs, allowing them flight.

They wear full-head masks with LED screens on their faces that are capable of various expressions. The masks possess two large goat-like horns on their head.

Exorcists appear to be mostly armed with angelic weapons styled in spears. Illustrations of the Exorcists in the pilot also depict them with swords and possibly arrows. According to Vivziepop, they possess a variety of weapons such as guns, knives, swords, spears, etc.

Personality
While little is known of the Exorcists, they appear cold and murderous. They are often depicted with a large grin, although their masks are capable of other expressions, as seen in the official trailer.

During an Extermination, they appear to primarily target demons who are outside. It is unclear if they will attempt to enter buildings to find targets. They do not seem to hold much regard for their weapons and will often leave them behind in their victims, which are then gathered by Hell's denizens following the Extermination to sell on the black market.

According to Vivziepop, Exorcists are very bloodthirsty and love violence. They seem to take sadistic joy in killing demons.

However, there is the rare occurrence of an Exorcist having a change of heart.

Mortality
In "Overture", it is revealed that Exorcists (or Angels in general) can be killed. They can be killed by their own weaponry, since Carmilla was the first demon in history to kill an Exorcist while also dealing in angelic weaponry, while Vaggie received permanent injury from an angelic weapon back when she was an Exorcist in a flashback in "Welcome to Heaven".

Seemingly upon death, the Exorcist's mask LED lights change from white to red, with their "eye" closed, and their usual toothy expressions replaced with a frown. It is unknown if all masks show similar features should their wearer die, or if that was simply the last expression the slain Exorcist had at death.

Trivia

 * According to Vivziepop, only the Exorcists can really and truly kill the citizens of Hell using their special tools. While non-Exorcists can kill other sinners, they must do so with scavenged angelic weapons.
 * When asked why there is a reason that Exorcists and presumably other Angels are robotic, Vivziepop said that she can't say much, but she did confirm that they're not exactly robots. However, they do wear LED screen masks on their faces.
 * In "Overture", it is shown that the Exorcists can be killed, but it is unknown how as they are decapitated and shown leaking gold blood out of the neck and head. In "Scrambled Eggs", it is revealed that Carmilla Carmine was responsible for the act.
 * Their blood may be a reference to, the golden blood of the gods and immortals in Greek mythology.
 * As noted by Carmilla Carmine in “Hello Rosie!“, one of the few Sinners to try and fight back against Exorcists, the overall fighting style of exorcists is extremely sloppy and over confident. As she stated, Exorcists fight in such a reckless way and each swing of their weapons leave them open for counterattacks and sneak attacks. With her attributing this due to their angelic status and the fact that only Angelic Weapons can harm them, which in itself is very rare and not all Sinners having access to. This arrogance and sloppiness could also be due to them having never met much resistance before during their Exterminations, as most demons hid or ran from them, leaving them open to slaughter as they please.
 * Carmilla also revealed that Angels don't use shields or wear much armor, which further alludes to their overconfidence and lack of genuine fighting experience.
 * In the final episode of season 1, as the Angels embark on yet another extermination, some of Adam's comments seem to indicate that all the Exorcists are female.
