Scoobi Hogger

**Scoobi Hogger** is a Boar-demon and the ex-husband of Battes. Boorish and sadistic, he felt right at home in hell, and soon became a favored employee of Valentino. After Battes died in her car crash, Scoobi took it upon himself to see she is tormented for the rest of eternity.

## Appearance

Scoobi as a boar demon is a relatively tall individual, just a couple inches taller than Alastor, if that. He is stereotypically obese, with a notable gut, round pudgy face and broad, flabby arms and legs. His nose and ears are those of a hog, complete with a nose ring and spike earring in his right ear. and has black eyes with red pupils. Two prominent upwards facing tusks spill out of his mouth, giving him an even more bestial appearance. He is covered in putrid green fur, with pronounced tufts on his neck and chin, and has a pigs tail, which he despises.

Scoobi usually dresses in a filthy off-white, ill-fitting wife-beater shirt, dirty jeans and jackboots. He wears an assortment of rings on both hands and wears a golden chain on his neck. When meeting with Valentino for business, Scoobi grooms himself (a little) wearing a still ill-fitting red and white pin-stripe suit.

Scoobi is also accompanied at all times by a swarm of flies, due to the filth he is covered in.

## Personality

"*I can't kill ya...so I's guess imma just have tah settle wiv beatin' the soup outta ya. Then, Imma do mah wife roight 'ere...maybe i'll let yer watch..."*

-Scoobi to Mercer, while beating the latter into the ground

Scoobi Hogger is a disgusting piece of filth, and many even in hell prefer not to deal with him. It is no wonder a character like Valentino would employ someone like him. Scoobi is brutally sadistic, quick to resort to violence and murderous when angry. Even if violence is outright pointless, he may still resort to bloodshed if only for the sake of bloodshed. He becomes even more uncontrollable when drunk, which almost all the time, and if he is not drunk, he is trying to get drunk. However, to underestimate Scoobi is a dangerous move, for though a brute and a drunk, he is no fool. Scoobi is surprisingly intelligent, and a practiced hand at manipulation.

He is also extremely sexually violent, and will make grossly lewd comments whenever he feels like it in the best of times, especially towards Battes. Other times, he makes a hobby of raping Battes and Valentino's girls as part of "training". In fact, it was from these sessions that Battes originally met Angel Dust.

Scoobi is also selfish, jealous and greedy. He utterly despises that his wife has started a relationship with Ian Mercer, and as a result, holds a personal grudge against him. Scoobi believes Battes belongs body and soul to him, and that she has no right to seek happiness with anyone else. This leads Scoobi to go out of his way to confront the two if they are together, starting by beating up Mercer and then attacking Battes. He is rarely successful, but Scoobi does not play fair, and will gleefully employ tactics that cause Mercer severe pain, giving him an edge.

## History

Scoobi Hogger was a South African Truck Driver who married Annabelle Bakkes sometime in the 90's. It is unknown if he was always abusive, but it is implied that his mistreatment of Battes is extensive. Scoobi would drink the money away, then beat Battes when it was gone for not saving it. He was known to be sexually promiscuous, but would violently assault Battes for perceiving any pretense of infidelity. He would also manipulate her in cruel ways, making her think that she would be an outcast if she got a divorce, and even buttered up to Battes parents.

Eventually, things came to a climatic head. On Halloween, 2002, Scoobi, drunk and angry for being fired from his job as a truck driver, violently raped his wife and attempted to kill her by suffocating her. Instead, Battes violently snapped, and disemboweled him with a butcher knife. Driven insane by her torture, Battes began singing nursery rhymes as she used a shovel to gruesomely bisect her husband, causing his death.

Scoobi woke up in Hell, with the entire Pride Ring panicking about the impending Extermination. In response, Scoobi looked for the toughest guy in town, and found Valentino. Val was impressed with Scoobi's brute force, and had him deal with a "Late Payment Notice" as a test of his skill. Scoobi returned, covered in blood and with a fistful of dollars, along with the assurance that the unfortunate individual wouldn't make the same mistake again. Very pleased with the results, Val started Scoobi off as one of his Collectors. Eventually, he would rise to be one of Val's most trusted henchmen.

Eventually, Scoobi found Battes wandering the streets of Pride City. Thinking he had found his perverse calling, he kidnapped Battes and brought her to Valentino's Cabaret to turn her into a hooker. Battes, however afraid of Scoobi she may still be, had developed a backbone, and refused to participate. This would lead to Scoobi and Val raping her repeatedly, along with another employee, Angel Dust.

After Charlie opened the Happy Hotel, Scoobi attempted to stop her from checking into the establishment, but was unsuccessful. Scoobi would begin stalking Battes, staking out the property to see if she leaves, and following her everywhere when she does. It is later revealed he was advised against kidnapping her by Val, who didn't want Lucifer involved in his dealings, thinking he was financing his daughter's experiment. Scoobi was forced to wait, but it didn't stop him from harassing and following Battes everywhere.

Eventually, Battes found a new friend who would become her lover, Ian Mercer, and this was too much for Scoobi. From then on, he made bold, active attempts to end their relationship, or kidnap Battes outright. Despite being physically stronger and tougher than Mercer, Scoobi found this was easier said than done, and was only able to beat him by learning of his involvement with Abaddon. This he threatened Battes with, threatening to loose Abaddon on the Happy Hotel unless she came with him. Desperate to save her boyfriend, Battes dejectedly agrees, only for Scoobi to alert Abaddon to the Hotel anyway. Scoobi then imprisoned her in his bedroom in Valentino's Apartment Building, where he utterly degraded her. He eventually released her on orders from Vox and Valentino, in exchange for Velvet.

Scoobi finally received his just reward in episode 13, During Vox's assault on the Hotel. After finding Battes recuperating in her bed room, Scoobi attempted to rape the near-catatonic woman before Mercer stopped him. After a violent fight, Mercer manages to cut open his neck just enough to allow him to get his revolver under his armour-like hide. The blast from the Lyfendr completely blew off Scoobi's head. It is unknown if he is truly dead (as Angel Dust doesn't believe demons can die again) but he is not seen again for the remainder of the season. He is still a prevalent force to Battes, nonetheless, who develops PTSD and is nervous around individuals with pig-like appearances and despises the colour green after the episode.
