"That slippery twink is going to remember who owns him. I’m gonna fuck everyone in that rancid shithole, I SWEAR TO GOD-"
―Valentino, to Vox in Radio Killed the Video Star
Valentino is a sinner demon and one of the many Overlords of Hell. He is the owner of Porn Studios and is Angel Dust's boss. He is a close associate of Velvette and Vox, and is one of the main antagonists of Hazbin Hotel.
Appearance
Valentino is a tall, slender moth demon with greyish-lavender skin and cerise-pink eyes, over which he is always depicted wearing gold-rimmed heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise-pink lenses. He has a wide mouth full of sharp, red colored, pointed teeth, and possesses a single golden fang that sits to his far left of center, a feature he shares with his employee, Angel Dust.
Valentino's stature is tall, estimated to be around 10 feet,[note 3] which he emphasizes with long black heeled boots. He wears a floor-length vivid-red coat that features a white fur trim at the wrists, as well as black and white striped fur trim down the coat center-front to the bottom hem. His coat also has three white stripes on both hips.
A large fluffy white 'collar' decorated with small red love-hearts is wrapped around his neck - this plumes up from his coat's break-line, although it is unclear whether this collar is attached to his body or the coat. His coat is pinned with a gold chain and gold love-heart shaped broach fastenings at the breast.
Valentino accessorizes with a matching vivid-red top hat, that has a wide, asymmetrical zebra-print hat-band. Two appendages sprout from the band of the hat: on his left, one black spiked antennae, and on his right, what appears to be a large black and white striped feather.
According to Faustisse, Valentino wears fishnets under his coat[note 4] and is bald.[note 5]
Personality
Valentino has been described as being charming[note 6] and roughly as level-headed as his fellow Overlord, Vox.
Valentino is depicted as being controlling and abusive, specifically towards one of his star employees, Angel Dust. He also displays sadistic tendencies, appearing to take enjoyment in overidding Angel's consent, and remains seemingly unbothered by the trauma he is inflicting.
Valentino is frequently surrounded by a collection of the girls who work for him. He is ostentatious in displaying both his profession and status. Faustisse bluntly described him as "a huge fuckboi" He's Hispanic too!
Abilities
Charisma - Valentino possesses a flamboyant and vivacious charm that allows him to persuade others of his authority.
Typhokinesis - In the "ADDICT" music video, Valentino exhales a strange red smoke from his cigarettes that has the ability to twist and form different shapes, entering the bodies of other demons, as Valentino directs it. However, a similar smoke is also present in a cigarette Angel smokes, making it unknown whether this is an ability natural to Valentino or just a particular type of the cigarette he has in his possession.
Skillset
Weapon Proficiency - As shown in the prequel comic, Valentino is easily able to shoot a moving target with accuracy from a notable distance away..
Valentino was a very late addition in the development of Hazbin Hotel, with Faustisse noting that the character was still being worked on, even past the release of the pilot.
He makes his first appearance within the Hazbin Hotel pilot.Valentino is an Italian name, meaning "brave or strong". It can also mean "a ladies' man", which is fitting considering his status as a pimp.
According to Sam Miller, background artist and art director of SpindleHorse, Valentino was Hispanic when living.
Faustisse thinks that Valentino may have died in the 1970s, His Penis Size is a freighting 39 Inches, being very monstrous, he also is Hispanic and has an Accent and everything! ~ Be careful though, he's rather abusive.
