Arackniss

"*Didju cocksuckas just call me 'Tiny'? 'Cuz if ya did, I'll blow out yer fuckin' kneecaps, SEE WHO'S TINY THEN!!!*"
— Arackniss.

**Salvatore**, known in Hell as **Arackniss**, is a supporting antagonist in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

He was a chain-smoking, hot-tempered mobster and Italian nationalist, the edgy older brother of Angel Dust and Molly, and the son, right-hand man, and ward of Henroin. As Henroin's eldest son, Arackniss was raised from a young age to be a merciless and efficient mobster and served as the underboss of his father's mafia organization in Hell. Plagued by height issues since his life, he was an extremely loud, loose cannon with the mouth of a sailor, and an almost completely humorless attitude, unlike the rest of his family members.

## Biography

### Background

Arackniss was the first-born child of Henroin, an infamous mafia boss, and his wife Annie and was later followed by Anthony and Molly, his younger brother and sister respectively. Growing up, Arackniss suffered from a disorder that left him smaller than usual, which his father and Anthony would ridicule him for, thus he developed problems with inferiority. Despite his height angst, he was claimed to have been favored by their father, who raised him to become an underboss of the mafia. He was noted by Angel Dust to be far more adapt to the mafia lifestyle, and was emotionally distant and cold towards his brother.

Eventually, Arackniss died in his 50s and was reborn in Hell. Shortly afterward, he reconnected with his father and was appointed as the official underboss of his new mafia family based in Pentagram City.

Arackniss returned to his father's base to discovered Henroin brutalizing Angel Dust, who had found his way to them. Henroin and Arackniss had both discovered Angel's sexuality before he found them, which his father was disgusted by. Before his father could kill his brother with a blessed handgun, Arackniss managed to talk their father out of it, saying that Angel was not worth killing. Despite sparing him, Henroin bluntly threatened to murder Angel is he ever even approached him or Arackniss, before disowning him and leaving to fend for himself. After his father seemingly left, a battered Angel Dust, choking on his own blood, reached out for Arackniss as he saw him through his blood-stained eyes, weakly calling his name for help. Arackniss pondered the situation, before hearing his father angrily calling for him to leave. Fighting back tears, Arackniss emotionally collapsed and left his brother behind.

Following this, Arackniss continued to serve as Henroin's second-in-command, managing several of his business dealings and pulling off massacres and executions on rival gangs or any associate who disappointed him. Arackniss and Angel, despite disowning each other, would occasionally cross paths on the streets of Pentagram City, which would often see the two devolve into screaming matches at each other.

#### Season 5

In "My Brotha Arackniss", Arackniss is captured by Sir Pentious, Loopty Goopty, and Lyle Lipton, who have all mistaken him as being Angel Dust. They broadcast his capture on a rented local television station, which Angel Dust himself witnesses. He becomes conflicted over whether or not he should save his brother, claiming that he and Arackniss have never had any positive interactions with each other. However, at the behest and coercion of Manco and the seven angels, Angel chooses to rescue his brother. He brings Cherri Bomb as backup, who only agrees to come along so she can embarrass Sir Pentious and his new friends.

Meanwhile, Arackniss - who is chained to conveyer belt - furiously tries to tell Pentious that he isn't Angel Dust, but Pentious refuses to believe him, noting that Angel is excellent at disguising himself, and activates the conveyor belt, revealing it to be a death trap that leads to a meat-grinding machine. When Angel and Cherri arrive to the scene, the latter provides a distraction while Angel unchains Arackniss. Arackniss angrily insists he did not need Angel's help. When Pentious and his comrades unleash the Egg Bois and mechanical henchmen on Arackniss, Angel, and Cherri, the trio fight off the supervillains' minions together, with Arackniss using his machine gun to wipe out the Egg Bois, cackling maniacally along with Angel Dust. During the battle, Izzi arrives to Pentious' base to tell him that Arackniss is not Angel Dust, and notices the skirmish going on. Amongst the chaos, he and Cherri Bomb lock eyes with each other; Izzy grins at her menacingly, while Cherri glares at him with burning hatred. Wanting to get away from Izzy as fast as possible, Cherri grabs Angel and leaps out of a nearby window, throwing a large bomb to mask her escape. Arackniss clumsily climbs out of the shattered window before being knocked out the window by the force of the explosion, landing on his face and next to Angel and Cherri.

Cherri, Angel, and Arackniss hijack a nearby car to make a getaway, but they are not out of the woods as Sir Pentious deploys the Egg Bois to pursue them, who chase the trio through the streets of Pentagram City in modified go-karts. With Cherri on the wheel, Arackniss and Angel try to shake the Egg Bois off by shooting at them, bantering along the way. When another unit of Egg Bois follow them in bi-planes, Arackniss tries take the wheel from Cherri, but she refuses and taunts him that his legs couldn't reach the pedals. Eventually, the trio manage to escape when Cherri drives through a large, abandoned mall that she wired with explosives months ago; before driving out the other end of the building, she detonates the explosives and uses the massive explosion and debris to cover their escape.

With the trio in the clear, Arackniss asks Angel why he and Cherri even bothered to save him, and Angel replies that he owed Arackniss for saving him from Henroin (which visibly affects the latter), and just wanted to pay his debt. Arackniss still furiously says that he will kill Angel Dust as he violated Henroin's wish for him to avoid Arackniss. Angel does not take Arackniss' threat seriously, and he and Cherri proceed to kick him out of the car and into a pile a trash before speeding off, leaving Arackniss stewing in his own rage.

In "A Behemoth of Fun", Arackniss, still covered in garbage and a rat living in his hair, Arackniss, prowls the Hazbin Hotel while clutching binoculars, intent on spying on Angel Dust amidst the pouring rain. He successfully catches a glimpse of Angel, only to be astounded as he notices Molly tailing closely behind. This unexpected sight leaves Arackniss bewildered, convinced he has encountered a spectral apparition.

Arackniss finally returns to Henroin's manor during a storm. He enters the mansion drenched in rain and swearing and muttering profusely under his breath as he storms upstairs. He enters his room and begins arming himself with weapons. Henroin appears and inquires the source of his son's anger and where Arackniss has been this entire time, to which Arackniss tells him that Angel had broken their truce. Arackniss then informs his father that he believed that he saw Molly while scoping out the hotel. In response, Henroin ducks Arackniss in the face for speaking Molly's name, telling his son that she was too good for Hell and threatening to kill Arackniss for suggesting otherwise. Henroin then orders Arackniss to follow him to his office.

Arackniss follows Henroin into his study, where one of Henroin's thugs reveals that they had spotted Angel with Moxxie at a bar. Arackniss, thinking that Angel and Moxxie are lovers, uses this to make a homophobic joke about their alleged sexual activity, though Henroin is less than amused. Arackniss suggests a plot to kill two birds with one stone by getting Crimson's help to torture and dispose of Moxxie and Angel. Henroin takes his son's advice under consideration and orders his receptionist to contact Crimson for a deal.

In "Extermination Day: Part 1", Arackniss tries to call the Hazbin Hotel's line to get information on Angel Dust. Crymini answers the phone on Husk's behalf. Arackniss' conversation with Crymini devolves into a hilarious screaming match, with the two hurling insults and slurs at each other.

In "What A Tangled Web We Weave", Angel Dust, Husk, Fergus, and Moxxie decide to have a night out on the town to celebrate Angel's impending ascension to Heaven. However, their night takes a dangerous turn when Arackniss, along with Henroin and Crimson's goons, begins to stalk them. Amidst a heartfelt conversation between Moxxie and Angel, Arackniss and his crew collide with Angel and his friends' vehicle, causing disorientation and alertness. Angel Dust bravely fights back with his Thommy gun, aiming to protect the injured Moxxie.

In the chaos, Angel carries Moxxie to safety while engaging the mob force. Moxxie identifies the attackers as his father's henchmen, the shark goons, while Angel recognizes the spider goons as his father's loyalists. During the struggle, Angel is ambushed by a smaller goon, leading to Moxxie being captured by the shark demons. Driven by determination to rescue Moxxie, Angel subdues the masked assailant, ready to kill them via a head shot. Yet, his resolve wavers as the small goon removes his mask, revealing Arackniss. Caught off guard and not willing to kill his brother, Angel hesitates, leading to him being tased into unconsciousness by another goon from behind. As Angel loses consciousness, Arackniss mockingly tells Angel that he should have taken the shot.

Angel Dust and Moxxie found themselves bound and brought to Henroin's mansion, where they are confronted by their parents. Much to Angel and Moxxie's amusement, it becomes clear that Henroin and Crimson mistakenly believe the two are gay lovers. Despite their respective fathers threatening them, Angel and Moxxie both stood strong, rebuking their parents' ignorance regarding LGBTQ terminology, mocking their lack of understanding and ignorance. Henroin socks Angel in the face to silence him and spitefully goes to poison Moxxie with his stinger, though he stood down after Crimson told Henroin that Moxxie was his to deal with. Henroin planned a public execution of Angel and Moxxie among Hell's mafia as an intimidation tactic.

Angel and Moxxie were tossed into a cage to rot under Arackniss and Alessio's watchful eyes. Arackniss, still fuming from Angel's earlier humiliation of Henroin, confronted his brother aggressively. He criticized Angel for not having the guts to kill him, demeaning him for his lack of ruthlessness towards family. In a surprising moment of vulnerability, Angel tried to bridge the gap with Arackniss, putting aside jokes and bravado to understand why he remained loyal to Henroin. Arackniss, consumed by anger and memories of humiliation from the past, violently seized Angel by the collar and revealed that his loyalty stemmed from a desire for revenge against the years of mistreatment and mockery he endured at Angel's hands. In a moment of genuine emotional outpouring, Angel fiercely lashed out at Arackniss. He confronted Arackniss, recounting the countless times Henroin had belittled him for not measuring up to Arackniss, and how he endured beatings for not conforming to Henroin's desired way of life. The raw pain and frustration in Angel's words seemed to strike a chord with Arackniss, momentarily revealing some hidden emotions, before Arackniss forcefully threw Angel back down, unable or unwilling to fully confront the truth.

Leaving Angel and Moxxie under the watchful eyes of other mafia members, Arackniss sadistically disclosed his and Alessio's grim task of eliminating Millie on Crimson's behalf. Moxxie desperately pleaded with Arackniss to spare Millie, emphasizing her pregnancy, but Arackniss did not fall for Moxxie's seeming attempt to "tug at his heart strings" and remained resolute in his mission. Moxxie, gaining a cold expression, said that Millie will kill them all if they tried, a statement which is backed up by Angel Dust. Arackniss merely scoffed and laughed at the idea of being beaten by a woman. He, accompanied by Alessio and a sizable contingent of goons, set off to carry out the assassination.

In "The Family Jewels", Arackniss, Alessio, and their gang launch an assault on Millie while she searches for Moxxie and Angel alongside Molly. Millie attempts to confront the attackers, but Molly intervenes, refusing to let her engage due to her pregnancy. Taking matters into her own hands, Molly employs her four arms to draw pink pistols and defend against the thugs. Mesmerized, Millie observes this impressive display. In the midst of the chaos, Arackniss steps forward, leading to a comical showdown with Millie. Arackniss gets the ever-afterliving crap beaten out of him by Millie, who graciously allows him a free hit before pulverizing him. Yet, Arackniss gains an advantage by resorting to cheating, wielding a gun against Millie in what was meant to be a fair fistfight. As Millie stands her ground, Arackniss closely inspects her and is taken aback as he notices her burgeoning baby bump, gaining a horrified expression.

Alessio suddenly emerges, seizing Millie from behind with the intention of ruthlessly ending her life with a gunshot to the head. Molly desperately attempts to fire at Alessio, but her guns run dry, prompting him to pivot towards her. Molly nervously chuckles, brandishing a makeshift white flag from her purse. Unswayed by her theatrics, Alessio readies his weapon to kill Millie. However, in a surprising turn, Arackniss intervenes, fatally shooting Alessio in the head, refusing to partake in the murder of a pregnant woman.

In the aftermath of the tumultuous encounter, Molly and Arackniss come back together, though Arackniss makes the reunion slightly awkward by refusing a hug, prompting Molly to initiate the embrace while he grumbles. He asserts that he's a man with a mission. Millie sternly warns Arackniss, insisting he guide them to Angel and Moxxie. Clearly hesitant, Arackniss is fearful of defying Henroin and the possible repercussions. Molly offers reassurance to her older brother, vowing to attempt reasoning with their father. She reminds Arackniss of his earlier act of protecting Angel when he was outed to Henroin, emphasizing the love he holds for his younger brother, even if it's just a glimmer.

After some contemplation, Arackniss, Molly, and Millie gather into a vehicle together. Arackniss agrees to assist them in reaching Angel and Moxxie, yet firmly states he won't go beyond that. Molly playfully teases him, causing Arackniss to comically react, and despite the tension, Molly can't help but giggle at the situation.

During the drive to their destination, Arackniss briefs Millie and Molly on various routes within Henroin's mansion. However, Molly boldly declares she'll simply walk through the front door, leveraging her position as Henroin's daughter to ensure her safety. Arackniss concedes to this plan, prompting Molly to playfully poke fun at her older brother's tendency to overthink things. She encourages Arackniss to contemplate a path of redemption, drawing a parallel to Angel's own journey. Arackniss handwaves the idea, saying he is much happier in Hell, with a cigar in one hand and a gun in the other. However, their surprise, Arackniss entertains the notion of redemption, envisioning a life of indulgence and heavenly pleasures, including a fantasy of smoking cigars and having sex with countless angels in the clouds. Molly, in her playful manner, cheekily teases Arackniss, suggesting that perhaps he'll gain a few inches if he's allowed into Heaven. This innocent jab causes Arackniss to comically erupt in reaction, adding a lighthearted moment to their tense journey.

Arackniss, Molly, and Millie reach Henroin's location just in time to prevent Angel Dust's execution. Molly passionately tries to reach out to her father, reminding him of the love and bond he once shared with Anthony, recounting cherished memories. She emphasizes that Anthony being true to himself and loving who he loves doesn't diminish their familial connection. Henroin is visibly affected, acknowledging his past love for Anthony, but expressing deep disappointment in his choices and the shame it brought to their family and status.

As Henroin commands a goon to hold Molly back and takes aim at Angel, Arackniss intervenes, grabbing his father's wrist and redirecting the aim. Furious, Henroin throws Arackniss to the ground, questioning his son's sanity. At this moment, Cherri Bomb bursts in, causing chaos and providing an opportunity for Angel and Moxxie to break free from captivity.

In the ensuing turmoil, Henroin prioritizes Molly's safety and instructs his men to escort her out of the escalating battle. Meanwhile, Angel, Arackniss, and Moxxie join forces, seeking revenge on the mafia. In the midst of a battle to rescue Angel Dust from the mafia, Angel Dust playfully acknowledges Arackniss for coming to his rescue, teasing him about their bond. Arackniss, although gruff, participates in the banter while focusing on the fight. As they battle together, Angel Dust attempts to emphasize a close camaraderie between them, but Arackniss is more reserved, expressing concern for Molly's safety. Angel Dust reassures him, praising Molly's strength and kindness, and Arackniss appreciates her qualities, acknowledging her as a great sister. Despite their differences, they are able to share a bond of concern and care for Molly.

However, the massive battle is interrupted by the arrival of the Insurgency, leading to a fierce clash. In the midst of this chaos, Rum holds Molly hostage, but Arackniss rushes in and saves her by poisoning Rum with his fangs Arackniss then attempts to grapple Stolas' grimoire by Izzi's hands, only for Striker to appear and wound Arackniss with a shot to the leg. As Arackniss falls to the ground in agony, Striker mercilessly erased Arackniss with a shot to the head. Molly and Angel are left devastated and speechless at his abrupt loss.

Henroin arrives at the gruesome scene, witnessing the loss of his son and Molly kneeling over his corpse. Overwhelmed by grief, Henroin rushes over, shoving Molly and Angel out of the way and cradling Arackniss' lifeless body, breaking down in tears for the first time.

## Personality

Arackniss was a hard-shelled, impatient, unintentionally comical, and incredibly hot-headed mobster. A lovable, edgy tryhard, he commanded respect and fear from other people, but was unfortunately often the butt of many jokes at his expense. Most often, he was ridiculed by other sinners for his very small stature, which undermined his attempts to act intimidating. While attending deals on his father's behalf, he tried to extort or intimidate his father's business partners into forfeiting their resources, believing himself to be far scarier than he thought he was, when in reality the fear he inspired was entirely on the part of his father. He was incredibly hot-headed and aggressive, willing to maim or murder anyone who refused to take him seriously or crack jokes at his expense, or causing brawls for seemingly no intelligible reason. He also displayed a willingness to murder anyone who crossed his father's mafia and took great pleasure in killing anyone who provoked him.

He stood out as the only member of his family to be completely humorless and serious, though this did not stop people from making jokes at his expense. That said, he still had a very crude sense of humor, though many of his "jokes" were incredibly insensitive, sexist, racist, or homophobic.

He was noted to have been very cold towards his siblings, especially Angel Dust, who he scorned initially due to his perceived disrespect to Henroin, and later due to his sexuality. He also found his sister, Molly, annoying and tried to stay away from her due to her interest in "girly" things such as makeup and fashion making, thus they were very distant while alive. He was very respectful of his father, Henroin, and appeared to outright fear him, following his orders to the letter. Angel had noted that Arackniss took to the mobster lifestyle more than Angel himself did, and as such he was preferred by Henroin over Angel.

Arackniss not only exhibited homophobic attitudes but also engaged in offensive and xenophobic behavior, often using derogatory slurs and epithets against various ethnicities. His prejudices extended to nearly anyone who isn't of Italian descent, despite the ironic fact that he and his immediate family are Italian-Americans themselves. Arackniss particularly harbored strong disliking towards Americans, Mexicans, Africans, and Asians, went as far as to crack tasteless, racist jokes at their expense.

Despite his violent and homophobic tendencies, Arackniss displayed glimpses of redeeming qualities and a softer side. He once intervened to prevent Henroin from erasing Angel, ostensibly framing it as his brother not being worth killing. However, a poignant glance he gave the battered Angel suggested that a part of him did not wish harm upon his brother, regardless of his sexuality. However, this fragile understanding rather sporadically shattered when Angel Dust rescued Arackniss from Sir Pentious, thereby violating Henroin's strict decree for Angel to stay away from Arackniss. Arackniss responded with fury and ingratitude toward Angel, vowing to kill him, informing Henroin of the situation, leading to him allying himself with Crimson to target Angel for retribution.

### Unique Powers

* **Enhanced Senses**: Arackniss had seven eyes that allowed him to see in multiple directions.

* **Venomous Bite**: Arackniss could use his venomous fangs to infect other demons with a venom that could make them feel instantly ill and pass out.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Angel Dust

Angel Dust is the younger brother of Arackniss. Arackniss cut ties with Angel after learning about his sexuality, although this decision may have been influenced by Henroin. Occasionally, they encountered each other on the streets of Pentagram City, leading to Angel taunting Arackniss for his height and fiery temper, while Arackniss responded by hurling homophobic remarks at Angel and issuing threats of harm if they meet again.

However, their dynamic took a dramatic turn when Angel Dust rescued Arackniss from the clutches of Sir Pentious, Loopty Goopty, and Lyle Lipton. Rather than feeling grateful for being saved, Arackniss's previous goodwill toward Angel Dust evaporated, as Angel had violated their father's decree to stay away from Arackniss. Arackniss swore to exact revenge on Angel and promptly reported the incident to Henroin, leading Henroin to join forces with Crimson in a bid to permanently rid themselves of both Angel and Moxxie.

#### Henroin

Henroin was Arackniss' father and the one who introduced Arackniss to the mobster lifestyle. Arackniss was unquestionably the favored child in their father's eyes, far surpassing the regard given to Angel Dust. Arackniss harbored deep fear of Henroin due to his unrelenting brutality, often reacting with a flinch to his sudden movements. Despite this fear, Arackniss showed an immense amount of respect for Henroin, even when Henroin resorted to physical violence to correct Arackniss for his mistakes.

#### Molly

Molly is Arackniss's younger sister, but their relationship was fraught with tension and negativity. Arackniss strongly disapproved of Molly, primarily due to her feminine traits and lively, energetic nature, which clashed with his own demeanor. Conversely, Molly found fault in her brother's lack of humor and his treatment of Angel Dust, which only deepened their discord. During their time together in the living world, Molly took great pleasure in pranking and teasing Arackniss, much to his irritation and frustration. This playful rivalry intensified the already existing tension between them, which underscored the sharp contrast in their personalities and values, ultimately resulting in a strained sibling dynamic.
