Angel Dust

"This body is flawless! Everyone wants summa me, and I've got the creepy fan letters to prove it!"

- Angel Dust responding to Vaggie's insult

Angel Dust is an adult film star, the first patron at the Happy Hotel, and the deuteragonist in Hazbin Hotel. A spider demon who elects to be the first the Hotel is to redeem, his selfish actions of using the Hotel as a rent-free living space threatens to jeopardise Charlie's dream.

Appearance
Angel is tall and slim in build, with fluffy white hair and pink details on his body, including a pink heart on the back of his head. He wears notable eye shadow and eyeliner and while both of his irises are pink, his left eye has a dark sclera and no pupil. He also possesses a single golden fang among his sharp teeth, a trait he shares with his boss, Valentino.

One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest, which often confuses fans and other characters alike regarding his gender. The chest is composed entirely of fur, pushed up by the tightness of his jacket, and he frequently treats it as though it were a pair of breasts.

Angel's normal attire consists of a white suit with pink stripes, a black and pink bow tie, a black choker, pink gloves, a black miniskirt and long black thigh high heel boots. These boots are sometimes shown with pink stripes in official artwork, but these stripes do not appear in the show.

Though usually depicted with six limbs, Angel has a third retractable set of arms which he can summon to use at will.

Personality
Angel is very sarcastic and sassy and has no problem with being reckless as the expense of others. He's known to be a bit of a prankster, switching between playful and easily destructive as he pleases. His humour tends to be crude or crass, and he makes a lot of dirty jokes. Angel's attitude can be considered blunt yet with a sense of style, always carrying a flirtatious and confident persona everywhere he goes.

However, that persona can be knocked when Angel is either dealing with his boss or when his looks are insulted. He avoids holding emotional relationships with others and tends to be a loose cannon with most of the other cast.

Background
Born into a crime family in New York, Angel Dust's human self died in 1947 following an overdose of phencyclidine (PCP), hence his namesake down in Hell. Since arriving in the underworld, his work for Valentino's studio allowed him to become the biggest adult film superstar in Hell, drowning out his world with narcotics and his twisted sense of humor.

Two weeks prior to the pilot, Angel elected to become the Hotel's first patron on the condition that he behave himself. After being mostly clean and out of trouble for two weeks, Angel assists in a turf war alongside Cherri Bomb against Sir Pentious and threatens the Hotel's reputation before it has a chance to get off the ground.

Valentino
Valentino is Angel's boss at Porn Studios. From the events of the prequel comic, Angel is shown to be rather intimidated being around him and is physically uncomfortable in his presence despite his loyalty to help the boss with jobs. Valentino is also quickly to physically mishandle Angel if he doesn't behave.

The text message conversation with Valentino at the beginning of the pilot shows that Angel was initially attempting to get money for him, possibly explaining his motives for breaking his two weeks of good behaviour before getting wrapped up in the turf war.

Charlie
Angel is Charlie's first patron within the Hotel. Though initially accepting of the conditions he must abide by to stay there, he instead has been simply 'playing nice' in order to earn a free room.

When asked what his unfiltered thoughts of Charlie are in a creator stream, Angel said that Charlie's happy attitude sometimes makes him happy. However, he can find her constant positive personality irritating as he believes Hell isn't a happy place to live.

Even despite Charlie's insistence that Angel's behaviour hasn't ruined things, Angel himself notices how his taunting of the Hotel's lack of customers has upset her. For a brief moment, he reaches out to try and console her before thinking better of it, hinting that he feels some sort of sympathy for her goals.

Vaggie
Vaggie and Angel share a passive-aggressive "frenemy" relationship with each other. After the events of the pilot episode, they are on basic terms with one another.

The pilot episode reveals that Vaggie finds Angel's almost casual dismissal of his behaviour infuriating, especially since it has upset Charlie in the process, but she respects him enough and explain things like Alastor's reputation to him when he asks.

Cherri Bomb
Angel and Cherri Bomb are best friends and partners in crime. After having been apart for two weeks since Angel checked into the Hotel, Cherri recruits him to help her fight Sir Pentious, an offer he happily accepts to finally get some "action".

According to Vivziepop's first Youtube Q&A live stream with Angel Dust, Angel learned everything about his more violent activities from Cherri.

Sir Pentious
Angel doesn't take Sir Pentious seriously as a threat during the turf war and constantly mocks him with various sex jokes that the snake fails to understand. Sir Pentious also mistakes him for his son after misinterpreting Angel's intent behind calling him 'Daddy'.

Alastor
Angel admits to Vaggie he'd never heard of Alastor before his arrival at the Hotel despite his reputation, citing his lack of interest in 'politics'. Upon first being approached by the Radio Demon, Angel swiftly offers him a blowjob and breaks Alastor's composure before being turned down.

In the HuniCast 1 Year Anniversary stream, when asked how he felt about Alastor, Angel responded that he thinks Alastor is a 'prick'. He doesn't think that Alastor likes him, though does wish that they could make the effort to become friends with each other as he thinks they have good chemistry.

Henroin
Henroin is Angel's father. It's unknown what sort of relationship the two have outside of being blood-related, though it's implied to be negative and physically abusive given Angel's rejection of the family business.

Arackniss
Arackniss is Angel's older brother. It's unknown what sort of relationship the two have outside of being blood-related, though Vivziepop has stated Angel likely teases him regarding his name and height.

Molly
Molly is Angel's fraternal twin sister. Their relationship is said to be positive.
