Angel Dust/History

Past
Angel Dust, known as Anthony while living, was born into an Italian crime family in. He died in his mid 30's in 1947 following a drug overdose.

Upon entering Hell, Angel quickly became involved in sex work, cutting ties with his family's mob-related activities.

He eventually came under the employment and ownership of the Overlord Valentino. Upon being employed, Angel was to sign a contract by Valentino. This made Valentino own Angel's soul and hired him to work at his porn studio, which allowed him to eventually become one of the biggest adult film superstars in Hell, continuing to drown out his world with narcotics and sex, along with his twisted sense of humor.

Two weeks prior to the pilot, Angel is unhappily pushed into working on the street to make money for Valentino, who demands he make up for the lost revenue from missing a film shoot. Here he meets Charlie and Vaggie, mistaking them for customers as they pull their limo up alongside him.

The two offer to pay Angel if he listens to them, which he agrees to, knowing he has money to make, and they pitch him their concept for the Happy Hotel.

Charlie is able to see right through Angel's flippant bravado, which unnerves him, and he makes a show of being extremely amused by the entire idea. When Vaggie suggests they find someone else, Angel seems offended at the rejection and suddenly changes his mind on principle, volunteering to become the Hotel's first patron, claiming he is "3 months behind on rent" and doesn't wish to pay by other means. Charlie thanks him ecstatically and pays Angel a hefty sum for helping them, which confuses him greatly.

After being clean and staying mostly out of trouble for two weeks, Angel is asked by his close friend, Cherri Bomb, to assist her in a turf war against Sir Pentious; he agrees and unknowingly threatens the Hotel's reputation before it has a chance to get off the ground, as the 666 News Studio was broadcasting his exploits across Hell.

After being chastised severely by Vaggie on the return drive, Angel arrives back at the hotel, immediately complaining about the lack of food to eat. However, he quickly stops when he sees Charlie sad and on the verge of tears.

Soon after, the Radio Demon known as Alastor arrives at the Hotel and Vaggie explains his origins to Angel as he had not known who Alastor was. Angel catches him off-guard by mentioning his skills lie in his sexual services, which Alastor swiftly refuses.

When Vaggie demands that they remove the newly created bar in the lobby, Angel immediately tackles her and insists that they are going to keep it. Angel then quickly begins flirting with the newly hired bartender, Husk, who bluntly tells him to "go fuck himself", which Angel replies that he will only do it if Husk watches him, which irritates the latter.

Angel Dust then watches and is shocked when Alastor easily defeats Sir Pentious. As the group return to the hotel Angel blows Husk a kiss, much to the frustration of the latter.
