==Appearance==
Angel is a slim, spider-like demon with two pairs of arms, and who's height towers over the rest of the main cast; standing around 8 feet when wearing his heels. 
His fur is mostly white which forms into a mop of fluff resembling hair, extending from the front and back of his head with light pink spots across it, alongside a pink heart-shape on the back of his head. His fur also sported a light pink outline of a heart which encircles his chest, in which the lower proportion extends past his waistline and down to his crotch area. His arms also have light pink stripes which additionally, his top set have light pink forearms while his second set have light pink fingers. 
His eyes sported cerise-pink pupils and heterochronic-colored sclera - pale yellow (right) and black (left). His eyes also included rather thick eyelashes protruding from them, and light pink upper-eyelids with the color extending to his eyebrows, mimicking eyeshadow. Below his eyes are three, small, cerise freckle-like dots which are actually a smaller pair of eyes. He also has a mouth full of sharp and pointed teeth inside, in which a single golden fang can be seen; a feature he shares with his boss, Valentino. 
Angel also possesses a chest that is covered in a large amount of his fur, in which it gave the appearance of pair of prominent breasts. He also intentionally pushes up into a breast-like formation with his tightly-pinned jacket for show. 
For attire, Angel wears a black choker necklace around his neck, and a long, white-striped light pink suit-blazer which includes black lapels and a small, cerise heart design on the lower back. He also sported a bowtie with a cerise center, a small miniskirt and long heeled thigh-high boots; all colored in the same very dark burgundy color. 
He accessorizes with two different sets of long arm-length gloves; on his upper set of arms are cerise gloves with white scallops on the cuffs, and on his lower arms are plain white gloves. 
In background artwork as seen in the Pilot, under his boots Angel sported spider-like feet. 
===Pilot ===
In the Pilot, Angel's appearance was nearly the same, only his chest was larger, and his right eye sported a cerise iris.
In addition to his clothing, it has some noticeable differences - his blazer was instead striped in two shades of light pink, and the lapels were colored neon-fuchsia and formed a heart-shape. His gloves were instead consists of two pairs of neon-fuchsia rubber gloves.
==Personality==
Angel has a slutty attitude and witty sense of humor and doesn't let insults or pain stop him. As his name suggests, he is a drug addict and is often seen smoking, drinking, or snorting anything addictive.
Angel also has a violent side to him as he has sometimes started or gotten into fights with either his fists or guns, and he relishes in fighting. 
He also appears to be prideful and desperate to present himself as someone strong, even going as far to blow off friends who think he is showing signs of vulnerability. Despite having a violent and prideful side, Angel is protective of those he deems to be friendly, such as Cherri Bomb, and Charlie, whom he did eventually feel pity for damaging the reputation of the hotel, and who he begged Valentino not to hurt.
However, beneath this demeanor lies a much more tragic and vulnerable side of Angel Dust that he is afraid to show to the rest of Hell. Due to his frequent emotional, mental, and physical abuse (including rape) from his boss, Valentino, Angel has low self esteem, intense depression, and often cries in private. Valentino's influence haunts Angel and causes him to doubt his ability to reform and even show minor jealousy towards others who are on the path to redemption. 
The only person who knows of this, is Cherri Bomb, but he tries to never show this side to anyone else, not even Charlie. Over time, Angel little by little breaks down the walls that surround his heart and has already allowed another person to see him as he is: Husk. Thanks to his duet and new friendship with Husk, Angel learned to open up to others, thanking Charlie for taking care of him, gaining the courage to confront Valentino about his abuse and worry about his new friends, as well as quit his drug and sex habits to be the true version of himself.

== Biography==
===Past===
Angel Dust died in 1947 due to a drug overdose, a habit he still has in the afterlife.
After arriving in Hell as a damned soul, Angel Dust alternated hanging around with Cherri Bomb and helping her in turf wars against Sir Pentious, while working for his landlord Valentino as both a male prostitute and actor in porn films, with Valentino also demanding sexual favours from him. Angel Dust wasn't the best employee or tenant, eventually owing a great deal of debt and unpaid rent to his boss.
One day he tried to do his boss a favour, finalizing a drug deal with a group of shark demons. It went badly, turning into an argument and then into a fight, with Angel Dust ultimately drawing four sub-machine guns and gunning the sharks down. Unfortunately, this forced him to leave empty-handed, and Valentino was not pleased at all, especially since the botched deal caused Angel Dust to miss a scheduled film shoot. As punishment, the pimp ordered him to offer himself on the street until he earned enough to make up for it.
His luck seemed to change when, after several demons seemed uninterested in his services, Charlie and Vaggie pulled up in a limousine, having spent the whole day looking for test subjects for their new project and getting no takers. After explaining the concept of their Hotel, Angel Dust seemed as skeptical as anyone else, but when Charlie offered to pay the debt and unpaid rent he owed Valentino, Angel Dust said he would at least consider it.
=== Hazbin Hotel===
The series starts with Angel Dust a tenant at the Hotel, having accepted Charlie's offer. When Charlie appears on Katie Killjoy's show to promote the project, she uses Angel Dust as evidence that her idea at least shows promise, stating he has been clean and sober for two weeks,. 
Unfortunately, this is when Katie gets breaking news that Angel Dust is at that moment involved in the latest turf war against Sir Pentious, showing he has relapsed, not only seeming to debunk Charlie's claim but humiliating her in public.
Later in the episode, Vaggie scolds him for potentially ruining the whole project, Angel Dust at first seeming apathetic and having second thoughts. Later, he and the rest of the staff fight and defeat Sir Pentious, who attacks the Hotel seeking revenge. 
==Relationships==
Charlie Morningstar:
Angel Dust has been staying at Charlie’s hotel for quite a while. He see’s Charlie as an acquaintance not as a friend. He does care for Charlie. He did consider helping Charlie when she was depressed about the incident at the interview. Anger does not believe in Charlie’s cause but still supports her. Charlie is also supportive of Angel. She believes that Angel could be reformed and also that he had been clean for ‘two weeks’. Angel Dust’s behavior is casual around her. 
Vaggie:
Vaggie and Angel don’t really get along well. Vaggie sees Angel as annoying, idiotic and childish and is often very frustrated of him. Angel on the other hand considers Vaggie as an ally only because of her friendship with Charlie. Vaggie and Angel share quite a few scenes where Vaggie explains Alastor’s story to Angel.
Alastor:
Angel didn’t really know about Alastor on their first meet until Vaggie told him his backstory. He replied ‘I can suck your dick’ when Alastor asked him what he could do. He was just joking and likes to flirt around Alastor. He called Alastor a ‘strawberry pimp’ when he first saw him. He didn’t believe Vaggie about his power and thought of him as a joke until he used his powers to beat Sir Pentious from which he looked very shocked.
Husk:
Angel Dust is hinted to have a crush on Husk. His eyes were wide and his jaw dropped open when he first saw Husk. He said ‘we are keeping this’ when Vaggie was complaining about him. He immediately started flirting with him. He is also seen blowing a kiss to Husk during the last scene. Husk on the other hand is very annoyed of him. He doesn’t show any interest in Angel. He is also seen making a face when he sees Angel blowing a kiss. He also claims Angel Dust's film acting is "unconvincing". 
In the series, there has been much growth in Husk and Angel Dust's relationship, and it has improved compared to what they had in the pilot. As the series progresses, Husk is seen genuinely caring about Angel, and wanting to protect him from harm. Husk also sees when Angel is being fake with him, and he tries to get through his "act", as he describes it, multiple times. Angel gets uncomfortable when Husk calls him out for being fake, and we see small snippets of the true Angel Dust breaking down because of it. 
Angel Dust in the series continues to flirt with Husk, like he did in the pilot. Calling him nicknames like, "Whiskers", and making suggestive comments that make Husk uncomfortable. But, as Angel lets walls down, and he can be seen as who he really is around Husk, Angel speaks to him more as friend than a guy he toys with. This makes Husk want to be around Angel more, knowing he isn't putting on a facade. Husk is also seen empathizing with Angel in their duet, Loser, Baby, in the episode "Masquerade", after Angel opens up about his situation. It is apparent that Husk is expressing more interest in Angel Dust, after seeing that he isn't as shallow as he appears to be. Angel and Husk have formed a special bond through being vulnerable and honest with each other.
The friendship between the two continued to grow when Angel was tested when Cherri Bomb suggested cocaine to forget about Valentino, but Husk encourages Angel not to slow down on his path to change, proving that Husk is a good example of friendship for Angel don't make bad decisions, being congratulated by him when defending Niffty from Valentino. Angel earned Husk's respect after demonstrating his change, now that he was no longer making sexual insults or seeking to ruin himself, thanks to his friend's advice. In the midst of the battle against the Exorcists, Angel and Husk joke together. During the hotel's reconstruction, Angel helped Husk rearrange his bar.
Fat Nuggets:
Fat Nuggets is Angel's pet. He is a plump, fat pig. Angel is shown to love Fat Nuggets, as he lets himself be comforted by him in the ADDICT music video after getting a flashback of Valentino abusing him.
Cherri Bomb:
Cherri Bomb and Angel Dust are referred as ‘partners in crime’ by the fans. Cherri is Angel's close friend. They love to hand out and fight turf wars together. Cherri referred Angel as ‘her favourite guy to party with’ during the episode. Angel also cares about Cherri as shown in the turf war scene when he pushed Cherri to save her from Sir Pentious’s grip.
==Quotes==
 
==Trivia==
* "Angel dust" is a slang term for (or PCP) a dangerous and highly addictive hallucinogenic drug.
*He is Arackniss' younger brother and Molly's fraternal twin brother.
*Angel did attempt to understand Charlie's idea of trusting others, but could only grasp it because he filtered it through something he knew: BDSM. 
**Despite being a sexual practice, it does need complete trust in the partners that no real harm will befall the one in the vulnerable position.
*According to an old sketch by Vivziepop, his older brother, Arackniss was actually the one that killed Angel after giving him a black eye. However, this might be outdated information. 
**Given that the ADDICT music video gave away that Angel died of overdose, this is most likely the case.
*Angel was from New York when he was alive.
*Although it is not yet confirmed, there is a possibility that the reason why Angel does not manage to ascend to Heaven is because his soul belongs to Valentino. Meanwhile Sir Pentious does not seem to have sold his soul to anyone and that is why he was able to ascend.
