Past[]
Not much is known about Valentino's history other than he was a human who passed away in the 1970s and his soul was damned to Hell.[note 1] At some point in Hell, Valentino came to be in charge of the adult film industry and became one of its Overlords.
Old photograph of Vox and Valentino shaking hands
At some point, he became acquainted with Vox. Originally, both of Valentino's antennae looked identical, but some time after meeting Vox something happened that caused the left one to be shorter and lack the white areas. At a later point, he became acquainted with a young demon named Velvette, and the trio became the Overlord subgroup known as the Vees.
At some point, Valentino hired Angel Dust as one of his porn stars,[1] under the condition that Valentino can only exercise his authority while physically inside his studio and no where else.[2]
From Velvette and Vox's annoyance and experience, Valentino has thrown multiple tantrums, some because of his "whore" employees, that result in destruction, with Vox having to calm him down.[3] Valentino would often act very harsh and aggressive towards his workers, even physically abusing or forcing himself sexually onto Angel Dust.
Valentino at some point gave Angel Dust a demon pig named Fat Nuggets as a pet.[4] According to Angel, Valentino once spent half an hour counting three bills, apparently because how bad his eyesight is, believing there were more.[1]
During the Extermination in the pilot, Vox, Velvette, and Valentino found a decapitated Exorcist and took its head.[5]
"Dirty Healings" comic[]
Valentino arrives in a limousine and picks up Angel Dust, then chastises him for disobeying his orders and leaving the studio. Valentino snaps his fingers to alert the driver to stop, then explains that as Angel had missed a movie shoot involving a gang bang he has to stand on the corner of the street and prostitute himself to make up for it.
Hazbin Hotel pilot[]
Waiting out the Extermination
Valentino is seen alongside his fellow Overlords Vox and Velvette inside his porn studio after the Extermination ended. He is seen texting Angel Dust, inquiring him on where his money is.
When Vaggie explains to Angel Dust about Alastor's origins, several overlords can be seen, including Valentino.
Hazbin Hotel Season 1[]
"Radio Killed the Video Star"[]
Valentino is sending Angel Dust several texts telling him to come to the studio as he's having ideas for new porn.
After learning Angel Dust has permanently moved out, Valentino goes on to have a tantrum-induced rampage in Velvette's studio, destroying things and ripping apart her employees. He then goes to his room, waiting for Vox.
Throwing a tantrum
When Vox enters Valentino's room in order to calm him, Valentino goes on ranting about what happened and decides to kill everyone at the Hazbin Hotel, even trying to find a gun to make him look sexier, but Vox immediately stops his plan. Vox points out that the Vees' brand is perfection, and Valentino would make them look weak if it seemed like he couldn't control his employees. Reluctantly, Valentino backs down, then reveals that another Sinner is currently taking residency at the Hotel; Vox's sworn enemy, Alastor.
As Vox and Alastor are arguing on air, Valentino and Velvette are on their phones in Valentino's room. Valentino and Velvette smiled when Alastor pointed out Vox is nothing without them, and Vox continued to become so angry he shocked the other Vees and blacked out Pentagram City.
Decorating Moneyshot during a meeting
Later during a meeting on what to do to prevent Charlie and Alastor from making a deal, Valentino was busy decorating his gun, Moneyshot, with glue and gemstones. He suggests "putting something inside them", which Vox interprets as hiring a mole with no direct ties and is easily expendable. Valentino points out he had already hired nearly every loser sinner in their side of Hell, so he doesn't know who was left.
Afterwards, Valentino left many voice messages to Angel, begging and threatening him to move back in.
"Masquerade"[]
Valentino calls Angel Dust to come in for work.
Later at the studio, Valentino tells Angel to improvise the lines as people don't pay attention to dialogue in adult films. When Charlie arrives to the studio, Valentino greets her and licks her arm, and offers her a part in his films. After she rejects his offer, Valentino allows Charlie to stay and he resumes the filming from the beginning.
Valentino abusing Angel
Valentino begins to be annoyed by Charlie as she distracts the boom operator, and enraged when she accidentally starts a fire. He unfolds his wings and produces a wind gust strong enough to put the fire out in one blow. With the fire out, he orders Angel into the dressing room to "talk" in private. After closing the door, he physically and mentally abuses him, demanding he remove Charlie and tells him he will be filming all night. Despite Charlie becoming angry and turning into her full demon form at his treatment of Angel, he stood unfazed as Angel stops her and tells her to leave.
Directing his next film
Valentino has Angel work all night long on multiple projects, from movie shoots to a music video, and in between shots the pair have sex together. After all the filming, Valentino is in the garden with Vox shaking hands, and after Vox electroports away after seeing Angel on the balcony, Valentino notices Angel then walks away.
"Welcome to Heaven"[]
According to Angel Dust, Valentino has gotten into waterboarding.
Hanging out at Consent
In the nightclub called Consent, Valentino is hanging out trying to hire new employees.
When a drunk Niffty notices Valentino and runs toward him, Angel Dust, who wanted to leave the nightclub before Valentino sees him, rushes over to take her away. Niffty tries to bite Valentino's hand off to "taste" him when he tries to reach for her and is rather put off by Niffty's stalker-ish and homicidal behavior, but thinks there is some potential in her.
Angel standing up to Valentino
Angel takes Niffty away from him, telling Valentino to "fuck off", saying that while he may have to put up with him, Valentino will not mess with his friends, much to the shock of the other club patrons. Furious at the public disrespect, Valentino tries to exercise his authority, even summoning smoke chains, only for Angel to point out the one loophole in their deal; while Valentino can "do whatever he wants to him" inside the studio, Valentino has no real authority over Angel outside his studio and once again spitefully tells Valentino to fuck off. Angered by the open belligerence and defiance, he backhands Angel in the face and threatened to make Angel pay for publicly embarrassing him tomorrow at work, to which Angel angrily says it was worth it.
As he watches Angel leave the club, Niffty rips some of Valentino's neck fur off for her "collection", much to his pain and disturbance. He then watched Niffty leave the club too, baffled by her creepy behavior.
"The Show Must Go On"[]
The day of the early Extermination, he, Velvette, and Vox watch the Extermination on the TV in V Tower. When Vox flips off Alastor on the screen when the Exorcist leader Adam defeats him and says it was "better than sex", Valentino shows clear disappointment. He becomes interested in the fight between Lucifer and Adam when the former accidentally made a sexual innuendo. The Vees, especially Valentino, are shocked by Niffty after seeing her murder Adam with sadistic glee.
Valentino kissing Vox
After the first ever cancellation of the Extermination, Valentino sees the 666 News about it on Velvette's phone then sits and watches on TV. Afterwards, he sings and dances with Vox on how there is a now a power vacuum that the Vees can take advantage of to rule all of Hell. In the end, Vox and Valentino begin passionately making out as Velvette takes a selfie with them in the background.
