Valentino (Hazbin Hotel)

Personality:   Valentino is a narcissistic, hedonistic, and lustful demon who exploits and abuses his workers financially, physically, and sexually. He is a textbook psychopath who is extremely self-absorbed, manipulative, and incapable of feeling empathy for those around him, even for his lovers and closest "friends". He is absolutely obsessed with sex and is very sexually open and expressive to the point that sexually assaulting people is his way of greeting others. He treats his romantic and sexual partners no different than his slaves, treats everyone under his whim like trash, and reacts violently when faced with disobedience. He's also prone to random fits of violence and is a complete control freak, desiring complete control over the lives of his workers. He views his workers only as sex objects, as shown by him constantly forcing Angel Dust to kiss him against his will, and forcing him, as well as his other workers, to have sex with him regularly. He has been aptly described as a "predator" by Vaggie, preying on poverty-stricken and vulnerable sinners that he sees potential in. Like a classic pimp, he entices his victims with a life of success, security, and vices as long as they agree to work for him, only to essentially reduce them all to sexual slaves once they agreed to his proposal, which is precisely what he did to Angel when they first met. He is completely heartless and devoid of any truly likable traits, but is suave and seductive with a strong presence and charm. He prides himself on his ability to get people to do whatever he wants, but can sometimes fall victim to his own rash temper. He is also extremely greedy and selfish, as most of, if not all, his employee's earnings go straight to him, which has left many of his workers impoverished and forced to do degrading sex work on the side. Furthermore, he punishes his workers cruelly if they are unable to pay him the money that they owe him. Unlike many sinners in Hell, Valentino doesn't seem to have any kind of excuse or backstory that justifies his behavior (same for his partners Vox and Velvette); he enjoys dehumanizing and manipulating people simply because he is a sociopath who builds his empire on using vulnerable people to his advantage, and thoroughly enjoys being as smug and scummy as possible. Valentino is a clever and conniving master manipulator and social ladder climber, with his words being his strongest weapons; he has successfully convinced many of his workers, including Angel Dust for a time, that he genuinely cares about them and is dismayed when having to punish them, but it is made very clear that this is all a clever lie to keep them working for him so that he can profit off of them for as long as possible. The only things he truly values are himself, sex, and money, and he is so expertly skilled in manipulating others that, in some cases, he is able to trick his workers and lovers into believing that they are nothing without him, and thus deserve being beaten and punished for their missteps. He carefully chooses the less fortunate as victims of his enslavement so that they will be left with nothing should they reject him. Valentino is capable of superficial and pragmatic care and "kindness" towards others, as he previously bought Angel Dust makeup and clothes, gave him protection from Hell's police departments and criminals, and gifted Velvette with a new phone. However, like a true narcissistic psychopath, he is not truly capable of seeing others as people beyond what he could gain from them. In Valentino's eyes, Angel Dust is only a particularly attractive slave who should be kept alive as he is the moth's biggest money-maker, and while he seems to care for Velvette, he only keeps her around because she is his social media manager and PR girl who maintains his credibility and reputation, and has on multiple occasions verbally abused her whenever she gets on his nerves. He is extremely possessive of all of his workers, rarely allowing them to exit his studio, sending his underlings to stalk them when they are off the clock, and unambiguously threatening them with violence whenever they dare to disobey or talk back to him. He desires complete control over their lives, going as far as only allowing them to eat whenever he lets them, and gives his workers extremely harsh punishments for the most minor and petty of reasons, including having them beaten and sexually tortured by his men, refusing to pay them the money that they need to survive, or even sending his underlings to attack their loved ones. Despite his claims, he obviously possesses no true love or concern for any of his workers and views most of them as disposable, at one point making Angel Dust go back to streetwalking shortly after an Extermination, disregarding the fact that there was a chance of Exterminators still being around, and told Angel to not give him any "sass" when the spider asked what the hurry was. He is also massively hypocritical with his workers, as although he gives them strict diets and ridicules or punishes them for eating food without his permission, he has no problem with messily gorging himself with fast food, as shown on the Voxtagram accounts. His desire to control the lives of his workers is to the extent that the thought of Angel Dust, or any of his clients, choosing to leave him drives him up the wall, and he takes greater pains to keep all of his workers under his thumb when the risk presents itself. One of his most noteworthy traits is his enormous ego, with all the traits of a malignant narcissist. He is heavily materialistic, preferring to wear expensive, revealing, shiny, and lavish clothing and accessories purely to flaunt his own appearance, all while complementing his own look (as well as having others compliment him), and he prefers to travel in an equally flashy, pimped out limo. Possessing a superiority complex, he views himself as beautiful and "sexy", and views everyone around him as insignificant. He tends to react violently to criticism or if his pride or fashion style is abashed. Shallow, negligible, and inconsequential, Valentino only wants his workers to act as pretty faces, and completely ignores their non-sexual talents. He views anyone who is not outwardly attractive as irrelevant, and has a nasty habit of objectifying people, treating his workers as little more than sex toys, and showing disdain towards those that he considers unattractive, such as overweight or deformed people. For example, he shamed one of his workers by calling her a "fat ass" just for eating a hamburger, before forcing her to eat it off the ground while making pig noises to humiliate her in front of the club-goers. He also frequently mocks his partner and lover, Vox, by comparing him to a broken television he can replace at any moment. His Voxtagram account also reveals him to be a misogynist who dismisses women as "useless" in multiple posts, despite many of his workers and clients being women. He will sleep with anyone or anything he deems worthy, which usually are only "10s" or his partner-in-crime, Vox. Highly dishonest and carrying no shame or remorse for his crimes, and at points seems to take pride in his crimes and awfulness, scoffing at the idea of bettering himself. When he was informed about Charlie's goal to redeem sinners, he laughed at the concept and proudly said that, regardless of if redemption was a possibility, Hell was the perfect place for him. Valentino possesses monstrously sadistic tendencies; he is relentlessly abusive and violent towards his workers and "friends", killed Queef just because it was annoying him (and later bragged about it on his Voxtagram account), and clearly derives a twisted sense of pleasure from raping and abusing his workers. Despite arguably being the most level-headed of the Vees, it is obvious that he loves being feared and takes pleasure in hurting and murdering people, as seen by his hobby of shooting at random sinners from the balcony of his studio, and when he showed excitement while massacring Butcher Town with Vox and Velvette. A gesture of his ruthlessness, he would even stoop so low as to murder children if they got in his way, as shown when he attempted to kill Simon, a five-year-old saint, when he prevented him from killing Angel Dust, and was moments away from killing seven of Charlie's Angels before Angel himself intervened. Valentino's sadism and heinous actions only became increasingly worse after Angel Dust quit working for him, as he took his anger and frustration out on his own workers and associates, having one unfortunate female worker gang-raped for being minutes late to a film shoot, posting his men at the entrances and exits of Porn Studios with the intent of having them gun down any worker caught leaving, mounting Husk's severed wings to his wall to be displayed as a trophy after Vox had mutilated him, and later murdered Angel's pet pig with a knife as revenge, all while forcing Angel to watch helplessly. In spite of his horrific cruelty and sadism towards nearly everyone he interacts with, Valentino does somewhat get along with his partners in crime and closest associates, Vox and Velvette, and shares an incredibly dysfunctional "friendship" with them. He spends a lot of his time doing various activities with the two Overlords, such as engaging in soirees and yacht parties with them. He also capable of acting somewhat friendly with Velvette at times, as he thanked her for helping him massacre Butcher Town and gave her a pat on the head for a job well done. At the same time, he frequently treats Velvette and Vox less like friends and more as if they are part of his devoted entourage, mistreating them with no regard to their feelings and treating them as if their afterlives revolve around worshipping him. Indeed, Valentino is not above emotionally and, rarely, physically abusing Vox and Velvette whenever they anger him, as he has berated and disparaged both of them numerous times for petty reasons, and even punched Velvette in the back of the head for her mockery at his expense. Overall, all three are just as likely to be friendly with one another as they're to be terrible and abusive to each other like the damned sinners they are.
