Despite being a murder-for-hire imp, it seems Moxxie has a problem with unnecessarily killing beyond their targets and appears distraught when he believes he almost killed an "innocent" child ([[Eddie]]) and can be seen being consoled in a scene in the hospital. He also has a problem with the idea of killing targets who have families, and tries to give people second chances, as seen in [[Murder Family]]. He loves his wife's sadistic tendencies and brutality, as he sings of how it makes his heart skip a beat in "[[Oh Millie]]".

*Moxxie's surname, Knolastname, is a play on words on "Know" and "no last name". This could have been a name he had chosen after leaving his [[Crimson's Mafia|father's mafia]], since the oddness of the last refers to something about not having a last name.
*Above Moxxie's nightstand in his bedroom is a framed sheet with a [[Wikipedia:Domino mask|domino mask]] and a rose pictured on it that says "PAYBILL". This might be an oversight that was supposed to say "PLAYBILL" as masks and roses are common imagery used for theatre.

*He shares the same voice actor as [[Crimson|his own father]], [[Eddie]], and the Carnival Imp from "[[Loo Loo Land (episode)|Loo Loo Land]]", with the four being voiced by [[Richard Horvitz]].
*Also, above Moxxie's nightstand is what appears to be a framed vinyl record with a plaque that says "Moxxie".

*Moxxie seems to be a fan of the hit musical ''{{w|The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)|The Phantom of the Opera}}'' as his phone ringtone plays the pipe organ and suffered from a [[Moxxie's Bad Trip|hallucination]] that heavily referenced the play. He also wondered what sex with {{w|Michael Crawford|Michael Crawford}}, the actor who originated the role of The Phantom, would be like.

Moxxie in Boo Section

Moxxie in the Hazbin Hotel pilot

According to Vivziepop, Blitzo and Moxxie were initially intended to be recurring characters for Hazbin Hotel as an assassin team specifically made for comedy relief.

But since the drama nature of the series wouldn't work with too many comedic characters, Vivziepop decided to develop a concept based on the two, which led to the development of the Helluva Boss series.[2]

Moxxie makes a cameo in the Hazbin Hotel pilot, appearing as a silhouette in the Boo Section.

  • Moxxie makes a cameo in Vivziepop's 2019 short Holidaze as an ornament on a Christmas tree. Additionally, there is a tree carved with the initials "M+M →B←" in a heart that alludes to him, Millie, and Blitzo.[4]
  • Moxxie does not swear as often as the others, when in a bad situation he often uses the comparatively tame phrase "Oh, crumbs".
  • Moxxie is susceptible to motion sickness, as shown by him vomiting after riding the roller coaster "The Lawsuit" at Loo Loo Land, and first shown in the non-canon Helluva Boss pilot where he appeared nauseous riding a shark in one of the images during the I.M.P Jingle.
  • In "Loo Loo Land", Moxxie is freaked out by theme park mascots, believing them to be perverts under their costumes.
  • As shown in "The Harvest Moon Festival", Moxxie is at a disadvantage when it comes to close combat, as opposed to his usual fighting style of ranged combat.
    • This seems to have changed since then as seen in "Western Energy" when he takes down three bikers, each larger than himself, with ease.
  • In "Truth Seekers", Moxxie exclaims "Oy, gevalt!" which roughly translates to "Oh, violence!" in Yiddish, suggesting he knows partial Yiddish.
    • He also mentions that coffee orders would often misspell his name, like putting Roxie or Foxy, which was first foreshadowed in his non-canon Voxtagram.
    • He states his zodiac sign is a Virgo. Though, after Vivziepop revealed that Hell years work differently than human years,[citation needed] it is unclear if this is true.
  • It is revealed in "Ozzie's" that he and Millie have been married for a year. With the premiere date of the episode being approximately a year apart from the series' first episode, "Murder Family".
    • In "Exes and Oohs" it was revealed on Moxxie's Sinstagram that Millie took his last name after they got married.
  • Moxxie was mentioned to be native to the Wrath Ring in "The Harvest Moon Festival", and later shown to have grew up in the Greed Ring in "Exes and Oohs".
    • Vivziepop explained in a tweet that Moxxie was born in the Wrath Ring and values his mother's side of his heritage far more than his father's.[5]
      • This was expanded on by writer, Adam Neylan, saying that "Moxxie was, indeed, born in Wrath" and that "his mom was from there". "However, [Moxxie] was raised and spent most of his life in Greed. Hence, his not very country-vibe, or Wrathian values".[6]
  • Moxxie’s Social Media Friends

    Randal, Oliver, and Steve Sinstagram profile pictures

    It is shown in "Exes and Oohs" on Moxxie's Sinstagram that he is friends with demons named Randal, Oliver and Steve. Randal being the name of Richard Horvitz's real life friend who broke his leg.
    • It's also shown that Oliver told Randal to break a leg, to wish him good luck, only for him to actually break his leg, which caused Oliver to be the one to perform in Randal's place.
