### Signature

"*Surround yourself with people who will lift you up,
So ditch your loser friends who you can't use.*"
— A quote by God on a "motivational" poster in Heaven.

"*No, no. I've never regretted that. Life was my greatest gift to Creation. Though I am disappointed in humanity for being a disappointment to itself, I have never regretted it. But I have been sad. At least, I think I've been... Yes, very sad. Woeful, dare I say. Very sad indeed at times.*"
— God.

**God the Father** is an unseen mentioned character in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

With a personality which is shrouded in a veil of eccentric ambiguity, God is the ruler of all Creation who is universally beloved and revered by angels, and the sole progenitor of the Morningstar family. An infinitely powerful and divine entity whose limitless imagination gave life to the cosmos and Heaven, turning them into the whimsical marvels that they are, He serves as the origin of life itself.

## Biography

### Background

In the beginning of Creation, God created great entities of light to reside with Him in a void in space. Longing for relationships with lesser beings, God decreed to His creations that the Universe was to be built and populated by life. The Light Beyond the Stars agreed to their Creator's decision, until one of them, Satan, was exposed to an unseen malevolent force that altered its personality and point of view on God's ideas. Satan, bound to the malevolent force's control, refused to carry out God's orders on the belief that it would be a waste of their energy to create lower lifeforms who would most likely pervert their reality, and proceeded to go on a misanthropic ramble about how the Universe would be better off without mortals. The Light Beyond the Stars refused to listen to Satan, which left the Devil with a feeling of hatred and humiliation. Satan left the council in rage, promising that it would return and make the Light Beyond the Stars regret their decision. Shortly after this, God sent the Light Beyond the Stars to begin constructing the Universe, while He laid the foundations of Heaven.

Shortly after the creation of Heaven, God created seven angels who would act as the deity's sons. One of these angels, Lucifer, would grow to become God's most beloved angel in existence, as well as the most powerful. God would then create an orb-like object of divine energy called Heaven's Light. The mythical object was capable of turning into a sun, and is potentially capable of saving those with damned or corrupted souls.

After the foundations of Heaven were laid, God created the Earth, and then He created humanity, starting with the first man, Adam, and shortly afterward created the first woman, Eve, after Adam had become lonely. God allowed the two humans to live peacefully in the Garden of Eden, intending to use Eden as a paradise for humors, so long as they did not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They obeyed God's commands, for awhile, until Eve was seduced by the tree itself into eating from its limbs. God was disappointed in Adam and Eve, and exiled them from the Garden. According to Calcifer, despite Adam and Eve's betrayal, God personally assigned Archangel Forti to protect Heaven and His cherished creations, as well as commanding the archangel to lead Heaven's army against those who sought to threaten the deity or the moral plane.

After humanity had been created, God commanded all of His angels to bow down to humanity, shelter them from all evil, and present more compassion toward them than to Himself. While all of Heaven's angels followed God's command without question and swore to protect His creations, Lucifer disobeyed God's order and was left puzzled with God's decision. The prideful archangel saw humans as nothing more than murderous "insects" who were unworthy in comparison to his own perfection, and questioned why God would order His angels to worship humanity, rather than Lucifer himself. Lucifer concluded that as long as his Father reigned over Heaven, he would never rule over the Universe. Believing that he was more worthy of ruling all creation than God Himself, Lucifer decided to do whatever it took to overthrow his Father and claim the title of God for himself.

When Lucifer and Satan attacked Heaven and the Universe, Michael rose as God's champion and banished Lucifer and all who followed him into rebellion to Hell. Lucifer and his followers lost a significant portion of their power as well as their angelic forms due to their removal from God. After Satan and the Army of Darkness were imprisoned in Purgatory, God constructed the seven seals of Purgatory in order to ensure that the Devil would never escape, and tasked a group of cherubs with guarding the realm to prevent anything from escaping. He then used His powers to create magical gates around Heaven that prevented intruders from entering. Following this, God presumably returned to His role of watching over Creation.

At some point, God battled an unholy sea creature known as the Leviathan, who attempted to kill Him for creating light. Mildly inconvenienced by the serpent, God banished Leviathan to Hell for the Seven Deadly Sins to deal with.

Having grown depressed from the War in Heaven and humanity's constant sinning, God set out to overseer the greater Universe with only His children knowing where He went.

### Events of *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*

#### Season 1

In "Gift from God", Charlie, in an act of desperation, prays to God after being confronted by Lucifer about her dreams of redeeming sinners. Charlie tearfully begs God to help her in any way He can, as she sees herself as powerless against her father. Although nothing happens at first after Charlie finishes her prayer, Charlie soon sees a mysterious comet of light fall down from the sky, landing in the outskirts of Hell. When Charlie goes to investigate, she discovers a small, mysterious, white ball of energy.

In "Deal with the Devil", Charlie takes the ball of energy to Calcifer in hopes of finding out about its origins. Calcifer reveals to Charlie that the ball of energy is Heaven's Light, which he at first believed to be merely legend. He also reveals that Heaven's Light is capable of saving damned or corrupted souls. When the princess leaves Calcifer's office, she is extremely elated by the news, excitedly celebrating later at the Happy Hotel. She then looks up at Heaven from Hell, and thanks God for giving her a chance.

#### Season 3

In "The Deadly Ground", God is seen as a silhouette in the beginning of Lucifer's villainous musical number.

## Personality

"*I own three pairs of crocs.*"
— God, probably.

Perhaps the most mysterious and bizarre entity in the entire series, God is extremely creative and imaginative, operating and behaving on a completely different plane of reality than everyone else. He has a personality similar to a children's TV show host, encouraging virtues and teaching important life lessons, and is a whimsical dreamer who wants His creations to love the world He created. Sanguine and melancholic, He rarely, if ever, involves Himself in conflict, and, since the War in Heaven, never will again. He carries an unbelievably strong presence outside of being a God in the most literal sense; He can sing, He can fool, He can downplay, upplay, sideplay, and slantplay like no one's business. He is unpredictable, omniscient, knows everything before it happens, and always speaks with a detached, airy voice.

Carrying an otherworldly disposition, God is always calm while at the same cultivating an air of eccentricity some find unnerving and uncanny. He exhibits peculiar conduct and idiosyncrasies, like responding with unrelated or cryptic statements to the questions of others, sometimes in alien tongues. During foreboding utterances, He often shifts into a deadpan yet menacing tone, seemingly unaware of the discomfort it instills in others, before returning right to his usual eccentric disposition. He revels in the whimsical madness of some of His creations, and has a somewhat childlike nature to Him as He loves showing his creations off to anyone He can. An extension of His eccentric behavior, He is fond of incorporating strange visuals into his creations, such as flying unicorns that vomit rainbows and burp out stars; anthropomorphic talking vegetables; flying dolphins that shoot 'friendship beams' out of their blowholes; or creating the platypus by mismatching various animals.

He is fond of misdirection and uses temptation to weed out the saints and the sinners, often putting people in "tests" that will decide which one they are. Zany though He may be, God's tests are not to be taken lightly, as He will allow those who reject him and fall to temptation to be damned, despite His mild warnings. He is incredibly philosophical and views humanity as His pride and joy moreso than even angels, though He is disappointed by them. Even after humanity was corrupted by the Root of Evil and Earth became fallen and twisted with sin, God continued to love the world He created and performed a great sacrifice so that all who loved the world, kept faith, and brought a piece of Heaven to Earth through their actions would be given eternal life in Heaven.

Still, God is firm with humanity, as any parent would be, due to their consistently poor choices and the fact that they live in a fallen and cursed world. He knows that if He spoiled humanity, they would end up no different than Lucifer and Adam, who God also spoiled.

According to Michael, God appointed two Ophanim angels as guardians for each of His children, even though the Virtues themselves possess great combat capabilities and are among the most powerful of angels. This might imply that God places a high value on the Virtutes or, from another angle, is overprotective of them.

## Appearance

God appears differently to everyone who sees Him, making it impossible to decipher His true form. However, in the eyes of Charlie and the audience, He appears as an orange-skinned Muppet-like character with scraggly, light pink hair, no visible nose, and a light blue, short-sleeved shirt with a white collar.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Omnipotence**: As the Creator, Lord, and God of Creation, God possesses power beyond comprehension, and is seemingly capable of doing absolutely anything he desires, whether it be creating nigh-omnipotent and omniscient divine entities from nothing, to constructing entire planes of existence without effort. His power is to the extent that nigh-omnipotent entities such as Satan, Lucifer, Forti, The Speaker of God, and Death are unable to challenge Him alone, if at all.
	+ **Clairvoyance**: God can see and hear absolutely anywhere He wants throughout Creation, keeping a keen and all-seeing eye over everything.
	+ **Divinity**: As the supreme being of Creation, God possesses unlimited divine power that greatly surpasses the divine powers of the archangels and the Light Beyond the Stars, most of whom He personally created.
	+ **Dimensional Travel Removal**: Shortly after the War on Heaven, God prevented Lucifer, his fallen army, and other external threats or strangers from entering Heaven by creating magical golden gates. Later, He created the seven seals to block Purgatory from being accessed by anyone He deemed unworthy, which also made it nigh-impossible for any within to escape. As a result of God's magic, only archangels, cherubs, and immensely powerful entities such as Death can enter and exit the dimension of Purgatory.
	+ **Immortality**: God, as the first entity to exist, is infinitely and truly immortal. Age, as well as any disease and weapon, were completely powerless against Him.
	+ **Omnificence**: God, as the Creator of everything, is capable of effortlessly creating an unlimited amount of anything He desires, as He was believed to have been behind the creation of the sacred dimension of Heaven, His seven sons, angels, and mankind. The immensity of God's creation was shown by His ability to create other entities who were capable of forging multiple planes of existence, including Hell, Heaven, Purgatory and much of the physical Universe containing billions of galaxies, as well as potentially other realities. He creates life and worlds as a simple pastime, and can instantly conjure mystical creatures of His design.
	+ **Perception Manipulation**: God can make Himself appear differently to everybody around him.
	+ **Power Granting**: God is capable of bestowing His creations with immense, potentially night-omnipotent power, as the archangels, the Speaker of God, and the Light Beyond the Stars all gained their divine powers when He created them.
	+ **Power Removal**: God can remove entities of the powers He has bestowed upon them.
	+ **Reality Warping**: As God plays instruments and sings, He conjures an intricate, colorful tapestry out of thin air, the tapestry itself playing back the music and displaying the lyrics along with his singing.
	+ **Transmutation**: God can change and manipulate the physical form of other entities at His will, as displayed when he corrupted Lucifer's true form to cast His son's wickedness on his outward appearance, stripping Lucifer of his beauty and revealing him as the monster he truly was.

### Abilities

* **Intimidation**: Due to His immeasurable power, God is a naturally terrifying being to His enemies.
* **Omniarch**: As the creator of existence, God holds supreme dominion over Heaven, the Universe, and all Creation. The inhabitants of Heaven, as well as the Light Beyond the Stars, are shown to carry immense respect for God's authority and follow His laws, scriptures, and declarations to the letter, as shown when most angels swore to protect and love humanity more than God Himself, without question, when He ordered them to. His dominion extends beyond Heaven, as supernatural entities alien to Heaven, such as Death, are also shown to carry a level of respect for God's authority.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Lucifer Magne

During the prince's reign in Heaven, Lucifer was God's most beloved angel and favored son. According to many, God spoiled Lucifer and gave His son nothing but love, devotion, and kindness, and initially loved him more than anything in all Creation, but Lucifer, being petty, spoiled, and narcissistic, turned on his Father either way once the Almighty began to love humanity more than himself, who Lucifer had grown to despise. Enraged that God willingly chose to give all of His love to humanity and convinced that he could rule creation with more prowess than God, Lucifer attempted to usurp his Father's throne by killing Him and all who followed Him, though his takeover was thwarted by Michael.

According to Death, God was never quite the same after Lucifer's removal from Heaven. He became more strict with humanity, allowing them to endure suffering and hardships in hopes that it would shape them into becoming better and wiser people rather than simply spoiling them as He had done with Lucifer and Adam. The Speaker of God believes that God still loves Lucifer, but hates what the fallen prince has become.

### Quotes Pertaining to God

"*Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from Heaven above
With wisdom, pow'r, and love
Our God is an awesome God!*"
— The Seraphim angels singing their own rendition of *Awesome God*.

"*There we go. So it's God you fight for? Please enlighten me, why would you fight for Him? A God that sends His servants to fight His own battles like lambs to slaughter? A God that allowed your son to die, and for what? A war He could have ended Himself?*"
— Lucifer to Fergus, then named Koatal, while in the process of manipulating him into betraying God and Heaven.

"*Look around, Lyle. God’s gift of nature is a wonder to behold, regardless of age... or wealth!*"
— Collin the cherub to Lyle Lipton.

"*It's far too late to pray, my friend. I'm not sure you're aware of this, but, you are a sinner. God doesn't give a shit about you, nor is He coming to your rescue. Y'know, once upon a time, I was the one people prayed to. Humans would look to the sky for hours just to get a mere glimpse of me and all my glory. But, as soon as I pointed out the flaws of my Father, I was cast from Heaven like a sack of shit, and now that Fat Bastard is the one everyone looks up to. (Lucifer pulls out an angelic spear) Tell me, do you think if that silly old man truly cared about you, He wouldn't have casted you down to Hell and directly to me?*"
— Lucifer taunting a prisoner before executing them.

" *We lived in peace, until the Creator ordered us to wove the fabric of creation. He never desired the peace we so craved. The Creator craved a reality revolving on worship in exchange for strength. It would be a waste of our time and unlimited power to put forth creatures who would only destroy and pervert what we wrought. That is how evil came into creation. It is because of God that there is misery in the Universe. That was when I rose to save everything. I knew that God would destroy all free will, so I created the voiceless army and empowered His creations to give them a chance to break free from their strings. We nearly succeeded, until Forti casted us into Purgatory. I only dreamed of a void where higher beings could live in power and peace; it was only fair we were the most comfortable. Yet, God could not see eye-to-eye.*"
— Satan to Charlie.

"*No one is good enough for God, kid.*"
— Lucifer to Collin.

## Trivia

* He is based on God the Father, the omnibenevolent and omnipotent sovereign of creation who, in Abrahamic belief, created the universe and all within, including humanity in His own image.
* His theme song would be "Pure Imagination" by Gene Wilder.
* The series' creators have stated that the JTTL version of God is very different from how God is usually portrayed in media. He is described as having a very saccharine, eccentric yet sad and "lost" personality, with the creators likening his attitude to a children's TV show host and "a blend of Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka and Mr. Boss from *Smiling Friends*".
* God takes on a different form in the eyes of everyone who sees Him, doing this so that others can interpret Him in their own "special" ways. Charlie, and subsequently the audience, see Him in His childlike primary form.
	+ God's form heavily resembles the titular character from the 1988 Christian puppet show *Gerbert*.
* In Heaven, God has an annual holiday and celebration in His honor called "The Celebration of God". The celebration takes place somewhere between Christmas and the Extermination.
* God apparently used to have His own TV show in Heaven called "God the Father's Universe", where He encouraged virtues, explained aspects of the human mind, explored areas of Heaven and the Universe, and explained how the creation process works. His show is still reran on Heaven's television stations, and angels will crowd around their TV to watch it like wide-eyed children.
	+ God's TV show appears to be a homage of *Mister Rogers' Neighborhood*.
* Whenever God is very excited, he flails his arms in the air in a manner referencing Kermit the Frog.
* It was initially believed that God personally banished Lucifer from Hell. However in "Extermination Day: Part 1", it is revealed that Michael had bested the King of Hell and Lucifer had merely fabricated the story of God's victory to perpetuate the illusion of his own incredible power and discredit Michael, suggesting that only a being as mighty as God Himself could have vanquished him.
* There are numerous motivational posters that are spread throughout Heaven depicting words of advice that claim to come from God Himself. However, given the dubious writing on some of the posters, it is unclear if these quotes were actually stated by Him.
* Death claims that he works for God.
