- ―Tom Trench
Tom Trench is a sinner demon and co-anchorman at 666 News. He is a supporting character in Hazbin Hotel who made his debut alongside his co-anchorman, Katie Killjoy, in the pilot.
Appearance
Tom is a slim demon with light blonde sweeped-hair with paler streaks, and with his face and neck being that of an expressive gas mask.
He is seen wearing a grey suit with slight darker-colored lapels, worn over a white collared shirt with a red necktie. He also has a red pocket square, and on his hands it appears to be covered with dark gray gloves.
Personality
Tom appeared to have somewhat of a perverted personality, as he frequently makes sexual comments while covering stories on the 666 News. He also appears to be neutral with Katie Killjoys's mean-spirited nature, and even participate in the mockery of Charlie, after the reveal of Angel Dust's participation in the turf war and the subsequent undermining of Charlie's presentation of her project.
Despite this, it is implied that Tom is nicer than his co-host, as he looked ashamed when she kept making fun of Charlie.
Abilities

"The Show Must Go On"

Trivia
- His last name, Trench, refers to excavations dug in the ground used for military defense purposes.
- When asked about what is behind Tom's gas mask, Vivziepop has stated, as far as she knows, his gas mask is simply his face.[4]
- During a livestream where a viewer asked when each of the characters from the pilot had died, Vivziepop asked what year World War I had happened in. A person off-screen answered "the 1920s", to which Viv reacted to with approval. However, World War I lasted from 1914 to 1918, making the statement and his actual death date dubious.[1]
