Lucifer Morningstar

"Presenting… The Magic-tastical back-flipping rubber duck! Ha ha!"

- Lucifer Morningstar

Lucifer Morningstar is a fallen angel and a supporting character in Hazbin Hotel who made his debut in "Dad Beat Dad".

He is the father of Charlie Morningstar and the estranged husband of Lilith. He is the ruler of all of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Pride.

Appearance
Lucifer has pure white skin, blonde hair, thick black eyebrows, black lips and a mouth full of sharp teeth. His eyes are yellow with red slit pupils resembling those of a snake. He, like his daughter Charlie, has red cheeks. His eyelids are purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow.

He wears a white high collar suit, a black bowtie, and a red undershirt with white stripes. He also wears a wide-brimmed white top hat, with a golden snake and red apple over golden spikes reminiscent of a crown. On his left pinkie, he wears a golden ring.

Lucifer carries an apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie, and his wife, Lilith.

Personality
Vivziepop and Faustisse describe Lucifer as cheerful, very silly, and goofy.

The "Story of Hell" in "Overture" describes him as once being an idealistic dreamer whose accidental creation of Hell and subsequent banishment to it has left him broken and caused him to give up his dreams. Despite this, Lucifer was also a doting husband to Lilith when he fell in love with her for her individuality.

For unknown reasons, Lucifer and Lilith separated. After years of isolation he fell into a depression, in which he crafts and hoards tons of rubber ducks. He is also a jealous type when he meets Alastor, whom he sees as a rival to win over Charlie and tries his best to be a father for her.

Lucifer understands his daughter's interest to rehabilitate sinners, but was too broken after realizing what he did for giving humanity free will, and is cynical of even trying to save any of them. He even expresses his guilt of making dreams come true, and because Heaven was so cruel, he doesn't want Charlie to go through the same thing. Still, Charlie manages to convince him to get her and Vaggie a meeting in Heaven, helping Lucifer regain faith of her plans.

Trivia

 * Lucifer's first name translates to "shining one", "the morning star" (referring to Venus), or "light-bringer" in Latin from Hebrew. One of these translations matches his surname, Morningstar.
 * Lucifer is based on the Biblical character of, a rendition of the Devil that was cast from Heaven and into Hell as a fallen angel.
 * In some versions of the Biblical character, the Devil takes more than one name, among these being Lucifer and Satan, while some versions of the Biblical characters, Lucifer and Satan are depicted as separate beings. In Hazbin Hotel, Lucifer and Satan are separate characters.
 * Furthermore, Lucifer represents the sin of Pride whereas Satan represents the sin of Wrath.
 * The apple tucked in the brim of his hat, and on the end of his cane, seem to reference the story of Adam and Eve, where a talking snake (often interpreted as being the Devil) persuades the first woman, Eve, into eating a forbidden fruit (often depicted in pop-culture as an apple), resulting in her and Adam being thrown out of paradise.
 * According to Faustisse, Lucifer's favorite snack is caramel apples.
 * When Vivziepop first discussed Lucifer, who was at the time was only identified as "The Devil", Vivziepop was hesitant to give out much information about his inspiration, citing concern over spoilers for the future. She did, however, mention that Charlie's father is "very silly and goofy", emphasizing his love of polka music, things that Faustisse has also mentioned.
 * Faustisse is of the opinion that Lucifer is not particularly a good father. Despite them not specifying in what way that might be, they did say he still loves Charlie.
 * Faustisse does not think that Lucifer cares about his subjects. They describe Hell as like an oligarchy, and that Lucifer is not very politically active in the traditional sense, only serving to maintain the status quo of power.
 * Faustisse also implied that Lucifer may be assisting in the coordination of the exterminations, although they did not say in what way or why that might be.
 * As implied by Lute in "Overture", Lucifer himself works together with the Exorcists and Heaven in regards to the Extermination. With Lute stating that that he had somehow arranged a "pardon" for Charlie and the other Hellborn demons, making it so that Exorcists are only allowed to kill Sinners per Heaven's agreement with him.
 * As revealed in "Dad Beat Dad", Lucifer actually despises the Sinners of Hell and thinks that Sinners are "violent, destructive psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible". Lucifer himself considers them all "the worst" and does not believe it is possible for them to be redeemed.
 * Lucifer playing the fiddle.png Lucifer can play many types of instruments very well, including the fiddle, which he plays "phenomenally well". However, according to Vivziepop, his favorite instrument is something else, something that would be funny based on the very specific voice actor they were chasing for the role, someone they have tailored Lucifer's character to.
 * Faustisse possibly implied the voice actor (and instrument) in question when they said that Lucifer sounds like Weird Al Yankovic.
 * In the Helluva Boss episode "Loo Loo Land", Lucifer apparently owns a theme park called Lu Lu World.
 * In the same episode, it is revealed that the titular amusement park has an amusement ride named "Fun House" which has its exterior modeled after Lucifer's head.
 * Faustisse does not think Lucifer cut off his wings when he fell from Heaven, which is proven true as his wings are shown in "Dad Beat Dad".
 * Vivziepop and Faustisse think that Lucifer is much more powerful than Alastor.
 * Lucifer has a mass collection of rubber ducks.
 * In a stream, Vivziepop stated that Lucifer has a lot in common with Willy Wonka, and explaining that Wonka is "a showy dick". It is currently unknown whether Lucifer is like this in the main series.
 * During his duet with Alastor, Lucifer is shown playing a golden fiddle, a reference to the famous Charlie Daniels Song, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".

Development

 * Faustisse thinks that Lucifer and Lilith's dynamic can be summed up with the phrase "Behind every man is a greater woman", and that they love each other very much. They describe Lucifer and Lilith as "passionate, cheesy lovers". They are of the opinion that Lilith "wears the pants" in her family, but think both Lucifer and Lilith are switches within their intimate life. Whether any of this information is still canon or not is currently unknown as the pair were revealed to be separated.
