Blitzo

**Blitzo** (pronounced *Blitz*) is the founder and manager of I.M.P and is the main protagonist of *Helluva Boss*.

He is the adoptive father of Loona and a former co-worker and best friend of Fizzarolli during their days as kids in the former's father's circus.

## Appearance

Blitzo is quite tall for his species, and sports a harlequin-like aesthetic.

He has crimson skin with white blotches of various sizes that cover parts of his forearms, chest, and his tail, as well as most of the right side of his face. He has black spines on his head and upper back, as well as on his tail, which ends with a triangular point that has a black spot at the tip.

He has fairly broad forearms and hands, pointed feet with boot-like heels, and a long, narrow head, out of which extends large, curved, black and white striped horns. His eyes are red and his sclera are yellow, which are lined with a thick circle of black. He has a heart-shaped skull symbol on the center of his forehead.

In "Exes and Oohs" Blitzo's feet are shown to have black on the heels and toe areas.

Blitzo wears a tattered slate-gray collared coat with red buttons down the breast, black knee-high boots (incidentally matching the same heeled shape as his feet), and elbow length black, fingerless gloves, featuring large, rounded, yellow decorations on the upper side of them.

Blitzo also wears a red skull charm around his neck.

## Personality

Blitzo is a bombastic, big-talking, and sardonic Imp. He is high energy and career-focused, having recently started his own company, something that's noted to be rare for an Imp to achieve.

He is very invested in the company's success and willing to make many personal sacrifices to achieve it. However, despite his enthusiasm to break out of the lowly social position his species is assigned in Hell, he is also, in many ways, wildly unprofessional and scattershot in his methods.

Despite his status as his company's sole director, he can frequently behave in ways that are immature, self-absorbed, and even disrespectful towards his employees, affecting their level of respect for him.

He is also willing to be manipulative in some questionable ways, sleeping with the married Stolas, initially in order to 'borrow' his grimoire, the key element allowing him and his employees to fulfil contracts to assassinate people on Earth.

Underneath Blitzo's powerful drive to succeed at all costs, however, is an emotionally troubled Imp, one who is dealing with the repercussions of a checkered past, that has left many people he once knew, and is implied to have cared for, hurt and actively bitter towards him. Deep down, covered by his bluster, Blitzo is haunted by these ghosts and makes a habit of running from, rather than facing, his current problems in reaction.

He struggles with genuine emotional connection, and appears to crave the idealized healthy relationship dynamics of his married employees, Moxxie and Millie, who he regularly spies on while they're in private, as well as the affection of his surly adoptive daughter, Loona.

Blitzo is slightly more at home and focused when on the ground on assassination missions, as he is murder-savvy and can be gleefully sadistic with his targets, having minimal restraint in the more brutal killings. When push comes to shove in high danger and combative situations, Blitzo is also fiercely protective of his friends and family.

## Abilities

* Animalistic Noises - Blitzo has been shown to be able to purr like a cat, being displayed during the two times he is in Moxxie and Millie's bedroom in the *Helluva Boss* pilot and "The Harvest Moon Festival". Blitzo has also displayed being able to hiss like a serpent/cat shown when he was protecting the dog in "Seeing Stars".
* Fire Resistance - Blitzo, seemingly like the rest of his species, can not be harmed by fire in the living world, declaring "that's not how it works", when a human attempts to set him, along with Moxxie and Millie, ablaze.
* Prehensile Tail - He is shown to be able to support his entire body by hanging himself upside down by his tail as a kid in "The Circus".

### Skillset

* Weapon Proficiency - Blitzo is a sharpshooter and extremely proficient with a variety of weapons. He favors firearms and is often shown brandishing his personal golden percussion pistol.
* Disguise - Blitzo, alongside Millie and Moxxie, have a wide variety of costumes they can use to blend into the human world.

## Role in the Series

Blitzo reprises his role in an off-wiki comic series.

He, Moxxie and Millie make a cameo appearance in the short The Return of Dark Cynder, where they were apparently hired to kill Senator Tricorn by Stolas, but Moxxie accidentally shot and nearly killed a pregnant woman named Emilia, though Emilia's memory would later be altered thanks to the Outer Force.

He and the rest of I.M.P. were hired by Hades to attempt to kill Hercules, but constantly failed. As an attempt to exploit Hercules' weakness, he is given temporary control of the Heartless while Loona was given a Keyblade.

After they were fired, they turned against Hades to fight against the Gear Golem, and ended up getting injured by the same pillar that crushed Megara, and they had to retreat, leaving on semi-good terms with the Punch Time Exploders.
