Valentino/Relationships

==Porn Studio staff==
===Angel Dust===
Valentino is Angel Dust's boss and pimp, Valentino holding contractual ownership of Angel's soul."Masquerade" The exact nature of their relationship beyond their business arrangement is currently unclear, but Valentino seems to take a personal interest in Angel beyond that of an average employee. This manifests in Valentino's behavior towards Angel, which is both highly controlling and manipulative. Valentino also does not seem to care about Angel's well-being, forcing Angel to work after the Extermination only just ended, and shoving him out onto a downtown street to turn tricks to earn back a perceived loss of earnings. Valentino gets extremely jealous if Angel flirts with anyone without monetary gain.
Valentino does not respect Angel's autonomy or personal choices and is constantly overriding them, including his consent when it comes to sexual interactions. Valentino is also aggressive and intimidating towards him, his mood turning on a dime from sultry to physically abusive.
Despite this, Valentino, very reluctantly, has to respect the terms of said contract. Valentino is only allowed to "do whatever he wants" to Angel as long as he is in his studio. He apparently can't physically force Angel to stay in his studio.
He was also the one who gifted a pig named Fat Nuggets to Angel.
===Dia and Summer===
Similar to Angel Dust, Valentino seems to have no regard for his two other employees, Dia and Summer. Throughout their debut in the ADDICT music video, they are only seen as a means of sexual pleasure to him and nothing more.
=== Kitty ===
Kitty is Valentino's personal, customized Robo Fizz. It often acts as his servant and maid, and even serves the other Vees. Valentino treats Kitty poorly, being shown yelling at it and flicking his cigarette at it.

=== The Vees ===
According to Faustisse, he, Vox, and Velvette are very close friends who make up the Overload subgroup known as the Vees.💖 Designing for the Next HAZBIN HOTEL Comic 💖 (archived). Recorded 2:03:58. Despite this, the latter two are often annoyed with Valentino's mood swings as it interferes with their work and reputation. Valentino, in turn, doesn't seem to be on the same page as them whether it's about priorities or how they feel. Regardless, he and the Vees are an inseparable trio.
==== Vox ====
Vox seems to be the more dominant of the two as he would have to act as Valentino's babysitter when necessary. In "Radio Killed the Video Star", it has shown that Vox is the only person who can be around Valentino without suffering from when the latter is in one of his rampages. When this happens, Vox is summoned to act as his voice of reason in order to prevent him from damaging the Vees' reputation or prevent further casualties with his rage induced impulsivity. If this didn't work, Vox would have to yell at him before talking him down. Valentino, despite his shameless, controlling, and vicious behavior, does know that it was serious when Vox snaps at him.
Vox is stated to being depicted in a romantic on-off again relationship with Valentino.Hazbin Hotel Post-Finale Live Q&A with Cast and Creator (54:45) In "Radio Killed the Video Star", Velvette has off handedly mentions that Valentino is Vox's "little boy-toy", possibly hinting they are in relationship or at least hooking up. This is further hinted in "The Show Must Go On", as the two were singing and dancing in an amorous way and share a passionate tongue kiss, implying they are in a romantic relationship instead of one of Valentino's usual strictly physical relationships with others. It's currently unknown if Vox is even aware of Valentino's sexual flings with his employees.
Valentino seems to enjoy getting a rise out of Vox, as he coyly reveals to him that Alastor resurfaced for no reason other than to anger him, and is amused when Vox throws a fit when Alastor retreated from Adam.
In the Voxtagram posts, this relationship appeared, at times, to be physically and verbally abusive towards Vox,Instagram images of Valentino and Vox which the two would get into fights over petty reasons and break up numerous times, only to get back together. Whether this relationship is reflective of their canon dynamic at all is currently unknown, as the actual events of the Instagram story arcs themselves are not.
==== Velvette ====
Valentino is acquainted with Velvette as a fellow member of the Vees. The two are presumed to have a positive relationship, as Velvette is seen hiding out in Valentino's company building during the Extermination in the pilot.
In "Radio Killed the Video Star", it was show that while they are friends, Valentino has no regard for Velvette's business and her department, deliberately wrecking her apartment and tearing apart her "best model" out of anger when she was trying to pull together a show. The two actually do agree with Vox's nemesis Alastor when he pointed out Vox would be nothing without the him and her.
In "The Show Must Go On", she records a video of him and Vox dancing and then takes a selfie with the two making out.

=== Charlie Morningstar ===
He briefly met Charlie when she entered his studio to try and talk to him about Angel and offered her a role in his studio, which she declined. Valentino was particularly incensed when he found out that Charlie came to talk about Angel, and he took the anger out on Angel.
He was not swayed nor scared when Charlie was emerging in her full demon form after seeing how he treated Angel.
=== Niffty ===
He briefly met Niffty at a club in "Welcome to Heaven", thinking that Angel Dust was bringing him a new worker. He was particularly weirded out by Niffty's behavior, like when she tried to bite him saying that "she just wants a taste". He comments afterwards that there may be a "kink for that". He gets further creeped out when Niffty stole a piece of his fur for her "collection."
In "The Show Must Go On", he along with the Vees, were shocked when they saw Niffty kill Adam when they were watching the fight at their tower.
