## Other

### Signature

"*Don't hate me 'cause you ain't me.*"
— Valentino's catchphrase.

**Lord Valentino of Pride**, also known as **Val** for short, is a major antagonist in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

He serves as the main antagonist of Season 1, a minor, yet pivotal, antagonist in Season 2, a major antagonist in Season 3, a flashback antagonist in Season 4, and a major antagonist in Season 5. He is also the main antagonist of Angel Dust's storyline.

He is one of Hell's most influential Overlords and a moth demon with a pompous, perverted and sadistic attitude who preys on the poverty-stricken sinners of Pride. He is a sugar daddy, fashion designer and movie director who owns Hell's pornographic industry, as well as the former leader and member of the Vees, consisting of himself and his dysfunctional partners-in-crime Vox and Velvette. He is also the former boss of former renowned porn actor Angel Dust, whom he treated like a slave, which after decades of abuse, led him to betray Valentino and join the Hazbin Hotel program to escape from the moth's control and help prove Charlie Magne's claims on redemption to be true. Following this, Valentino became even more ruthless in his attempts to exact revenge on Angel and coerce him back into a life of slavery.

## Personality

"*(groans) I'm sick of the new property and their constant bitching and moaning. Every day it's 'my rights' this and 'my dignity' that. As far as I'm concerned, if their mouths aren't filled with dick long enough to complain, they're not doing their fucking job properly.*"
— Valentino complaining to Vox about his workers' defiance.

Valentino is a narcissistic, hedonistic, and lustful demon who exploits and abuses his workers financially, physically, and sexually. He is a textbook psychopath who is extremely self-absorbed, manipulative, and incapable of feeling empathy for those around him, even for his lovers and closest "friends". He is absolutely obsessed with sex and is very sexually open and expressive to the point that sexually assaulting people is his way of greeting others. He treats his romantic and sexual partners no different than his slaves, treats everyone under his whim like trash, and reacts violently when faced with disobedience. He's also prone to random fits of violence and is a complete control freak, desiring complete control over the lives of his workers. He views his workers only as sex objects, as shown by him constantly forcing Angel Dust to kiss him against his will, and forcing him, as well as his other workers, to have sex with him regularly. He has been aptly described as a "predator" by Vaggie, preying on poverty-stricken and vulnerable sinners that he sees potential in. Like a classic pimp, he entices his victims with a life of success, security, and vices as long as they agree to work for him, only to essentially reduce them all to sexual slaves once they agreed to his proposal, which is precisely what he did to Angel when they first met. He is completely heartless and devoid of any truly likable traits, but is suave and seductive with a strong presence and charm. He prides himself on his ability to get people to do whatever he wants, but can sometimes fall victim to his own rash temper.

He is also extremely greedy and selfish, as most of, if not all, his employee's earnings go straight to him, which has left many of his workers impoverished and forced to do degrading sex work on the side. Furthermore, he punishes his workers cruelly if they are unable to pay him the money that they owe him.

Unlike many sinners in Hell, Valentino doesn't seem to have any kind of excuse or backstory that justifies his behavior (same for his partners Vox and Velvette); he enjoys dehumanizing and manipulating people simply because he is a sociopath who builds his empire on using vulnerable people to his advantage, and thoroughly enjoys being as smug and scummy as possible.

Valentino is a clever and conniving master manipulator and social ladder climber, with his words being his strongest weapons; he has successfully convinced many of his workers, including Angel Dust for a time, that he genuinely cares about them and is dismayed when having to punish them, but it is made very clear that this is all a clever lie to keep them working for him so that he can profit off of them for as long as possible. The only things he truly values are himself, sex, and money, and he is so expertly skilled in manipulating others that, in some cases, he is able to trick his workers and lovers into believing that they are nothing without him, and thus deserve being beaten and punished for their missteps. He carefully chooses the less fortunate as victims of his enslavement so that they will be left with nothing should they reject him.

Valentino is capable of superficial and pragmatic care and "kindness" towards others, as he previously bought Angel Dust makeup and clothes, gave him protection from Hell's police departments and criminals, and gifted Velvette with a new phone. However, like a true narcissistic psychopath, he is not truly capable of seeing others as people beyond what he could gain from them. In Valentino's eyes, Angel Dust is only a particularly attractive slave who should be kept alive as he is the moth's biggest money-maker, and while he seems to care for Velvette, he only keeps her around because she is his social media manager and PR girl who maintains his credibility and reputation, and has on multiple occasions verbally abused her whenever she gets on his nerves.

He is extremely possessive of all of his workers, rarely allowing them to exit his studio, sending his underlings to stalk them when they are off the clock, and unambiguously threatening them with violence whenever they dare to disobey or talk back to him. He desires complete control over their lives, going as far as only allowing them to eat whenever he lets them, and gives his workers extremely harsh punishments for the most minor and petty of reasons, including having them beaten and sexually tortured by his men, refusing to pay them the money that they need to survive, or even sending his underlings to attack their loved ones. Despite his claims, he obviously possesses no true love or concern for any of his workers and views most of them as disposable, at one point making Angel Dust go back to streetwalking shortly after an Extermination, disregarding the fact that there was a chance of Exterminators still being around, and told Angel to not give him any "sass" when the spider asked what the hurry was.

He is also massively hypocritical with his workers, as although he gives them strict diets and ridicules or punishes them for eating food without his permission, he has no problem with messily gorging himself with fast food, as shown on the Voxtagram accounts. His desire to control the lives of his workers is to the extent that the thought of Angel Dust, or any of his clients, choosing to leave him drives him up the wall, and he takes greater pains to keep all of his workers under his thumb when the risk presents itself.

One of his most noteworthy traits is his enormous ego, with all the traits of a malignant narcissist. He is heavily materialistic, preferring to wear expensive, revealing, shiny, and lavish clothing and accessories purely to flaunt his own appearance, all while complementing his own look (as well as having others compliment him), and he prefers to travel in an equally flashy, pimped out limo. Possessing a superiority complex, he views himself as beautiful and "sexy", and views everyone around him as insignificant. He tends to react violently to criticism or if his pride or fashion style is abashed.

Shallow, negligible, and inconsequential, Valentino only wants his workers to act as pretty faces, and completely ignores their non-sexual talents. He views anyone who is not outwardly attractive as irrelevant, and has a nasty habit of objectifying people, treating his workers as little more than sex toys, and showing disdain towards those that he considers unattractive, such as overweight or deformed people. For example, he shamed one of his workers by calling her a "fat ass" just for eating a hamburger, before forcing her to eat it off the ground while making pig noises to humiliate her in front of the club-goers. He also frequently mocks his partner and lover, Vox, by comparing him to a broken television he can replace at any moment. His Voxtagram account also reveals him to be a misogynist who dismisses women as "useless" in multiple posts, despite many of his workers and clients being women. He will sleep with anyone or anything he deems worthy, which usually are only "10s" or his partner-in-crime, Vox. Highly dishonest and carrying no shame or remorse for his crimes, and at points seems to take pride in his crimes and awfulness, scoffing at the idea of bettering himself. When he was informed about Charlie's goal to redeem sinners, he laughed at the concept and proudly said that, regardless of if redemption was a possibility, Hell was the perfect place for him.

Valentino possesses monstrously sadistic tendencies; he is relentlessly abusive and violent towards his workers and "friends", killed Queef just because it was annoying him (and later bragged about it on his Voxtagram account), and clearly derives a twisted sense of pleasure from raping and abusing his workers. Despite arguably being the most level-headed of the Vees, it is obvious that he loves being feared and takes pleasure in hurting and murdering people, as seen by his hobby of shooting at random sinners from the balcony of his studio, and when he showed excitement while massacring Butcher Town with Vox and Velvette. A gesture of his ruthlessness, he would even stoop so low as to murder children if they got in his way, as shown when he attempted to kill Simon, a five-year-old saint, when he prevented him from killing Angel Dust, and was moments away from killing seven of Charlie's Angels before Angel himself intervened.

Valentino's sadism and heinous actions only became increasingly worse after Angel Dust quit working for him, as he took his anger and frustration out on his own workers and associates, having one unfortunate female worker gang-raped for being minutes late to a film shoot, posting his men at the entrances and exits of Porn Studios with the intent of having them gun down any worker caught leaving, mounting Husk's severed wings to his wall to be displayed as a trophy after Vox had mutilated him, and later murdered Angel's pet pig with a knife as revenge, all while forcing Angel to watch helplessly.

In spite of his horrific cruelty and sadism towards nearly everyone he interacts with, Valentino does somewhat get along with his partners in crime and closest associates, Vox and Velvette, and shares an incredibly dysfunctional "friendship" with them. He spends a lot of his time doing various activities with the two Overlords, such as engaging in soirees and yacht parties with them. He also capable of acting somewhat friendly with Velvette at times, as he thanked her for helping him massacre Butcher Town and gave her a pat on the head for a job well done. At the same time, he frequently treats Velvette and Vox less like friends and more as if they are part of his devoted entourage, mistreating them with no regard to their feelings and treating them as if their afterlives revolve around worshipping him. Indeed, Valentino is not above emotionally and, rarely, physically abusing Vox and Velvette whenever they anger him, as he has berated and disparaged both of them numerous times for petty reasons, and even punched Velvette in the back of the head for her mockery at his expense. Overall, all three are just as likely to be friendly with one another as they're to be terrible and abusive to each other like the damned sinners they are.

## Appearance

Valentino is a ten-foot tall moth demon with a slender build. He has muted lavender skin and striking pink eyes. His iconic look includes gold-rimmed heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise-pink lenses that cover his eyes. His mouth reveals sharp cerise-pink teeth, featuring a distinctive single golden fang positioned to his far left. Valentino stands at an estimated 11 feet, accentuating his height with long black heeled boots. His distinctive appearance includes fluffy white fur adorned with small red love-hearts around his neck, extending from the coat's break-line. Bald with moth-like antennae, one resembling a large black and white striped feather and the other smaller without white areas. His hands and forearms are solid black.Prominent are Valentino's vivid-red colored moth wings, edged with white fur featuring black stripes and adorned with heart designs. Typically enveloping his body, these wings transform into a floor-length coat with vivid-red coloring, white fur at the wrists, black and white striped fur trim down the center-front, and three white stripes on both hips. The coat is fastened with a gold chain and gold love-heart shaped brooches at the breast. Dark purple heart-shaped nipples, adorned with gold piercings and a hanging chain, make a bold statement.

Valentino completes his attire with a vivid-red top hat, adorned with an asymmetrical zebra-print hat-band. Beneath the coat, a dark grey jacket with rolled-up sleeves reveals his chest, secured with two gold buttons. Paired with white pants featuring a black belt boasting a golden love-heart shaped buckle and high-heeled black shoes. Accessories include a gold chain hanging down to his chest, gold arm bands, and occasionally gold nail guards on his fingers.

Valentino's alternate outfit consists of a black tuxedo vest with a long-sleeved white undershirt with gold, heart-shaped cufflinks, his signature red top hat, a pink bowtie, black gloves, black suit pants, long black high heels, and he typically has a pink coat draped over his shoulders. While in this attire, he often carries around a shiny, pink and gold cane with a handle that resembles that of a bird. His other outfits usually consist of simple lingerie and stockings.

## Powers and Abilities

### Natural Powers

* **Demonic Transformation**: Valentino has the ability to transform into a more powerful and demonic form at will or whenever he becomes extremely enraged, and then effortlessly transform back to his default form.
* **Immortality**: As he has already experienced death, Valentino lives eternally as an undead soul. He does not age, nor can he be killed without divine intervention.
	+ **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Valentino's demonic physiology renders him extremely resilient to nearly all forms of assault, from bullets, dismemberment, and explosives. Only the power of primordial entities or holy weaponry are capable of doing serious or permanent harm to him.
	+ **Regeneration**: As a sinner, Valentino has the ability to almost instantly regenerate and recover from life-threatening wounds and injuries, this includes losing his limbs, and he can respawn back to normal in the occasion that his physical body is completely destroyed. In "The Fading Light", he regenerated from having the entire right side of his head shot off by Angel Dust, rebuilding his facial structure, skull, and brain matter in minutes, although the attack was effective enough to render him unconscious until the regeneration process was complete. In "Take Us Back", he also shrugged off being shot three times in the chest by Angel's Tommy gun, with his wounds healing shortly after he received them.

### Unique Powers

* **Demonic Power**: Although he tends to overinflate how powerful he actually is, Valentino is still physically far more powerful than the majority of sinners or Hellborn demons, and has power that allows him to overpower lower demons with little to no effort. During the Vees' assault on Butcher Town, He overpowered, severely injured, and erased several sinners at once using his smoke manipulation and angelic bullets from his revolver. He also effortlessly overpowered very skilled sinners such as Angel Dust, Vaggie, and Cherri Bomb in direct confrontations, often using his red smoke to restrain them, at one point all at once. He has also defeated Angel Dust, a very competent and dangerous gangster capable of wiping out entire armies of sinners in mere seconds, on two different occasions with low difficulty.
	+ **Flight**: Valentino possesses a pair of large, moth-like wings from his back that grant him the ability to levitate and fly through the air. These wings can retreat by wrapping around him to form an organic.
	+ **Enhanced Strength**: Valentino has impressive strength for his lean frame, shown by him lifting Angel Dust up by the neck with one hand. While fighting Angel physically in his Full Demon Form, he effortlessly overpowered Angel and tossed him around with no effort. He is strong enough to dismember other sinners with his bare hands when going through fits of rage.
	+ **Smoke Manipulation**: Valentino's signature ability is manipulating red, magical, tangible smoke, which is typically generated from his cigarettes, but of which he also seems to be capable of spawning at will. Using his smoke, he can conjure a vast array of objects and weapons, such as hearts, hands, a whip, swords, miniature versions of himself and other characters, and even a throne which he could sit on. He can utilize smoke to teleport himself and others to a desired location, as well as use his smoke to bewitch people. He can create solidified, smokey appendages and use them to grab multiple people from a distance and either restrain or assault them. At one point, he used his red smoke to toss several cars into a group of sinners, and later used his smoke to wrap around Fergus' entire body and constrict him, all while suspending him in air, and later did the same to Angel Dust in "Take Us Back", before slamming and throwing the spider into the ground and nearby walls. Furthermore, he is capable of inflicting severe bodily harm upon his victims by using smokey appendages to grab and brutally tear them in half or dismember them.
		- **Hypnotic Smoke**: Valentino's smoke is capable of temporarily intoxicating others if inhaled excessively, allowing him to control the victim's mind and actions. When freed from his hypnosis, his victims often cough up smoke before losing consciousness.
		- **Poisonous Gas Generation**: Valentino can produce a toxic cloud of smoke by tossing his cigarette on the ground, making them explode into a room-sized, suffocating cloud of smoke. These clouds are extremely difficult to escape as once someone is trapped inside, tangible arms will appear from the cloud and subdue the victim, preventing them from merely running away. This also forces the target to struggle, which only hastens their death.
		- **Smoke Speed**: By blending into the smoke, Valentino can enhance his speed, reflexes and agility.
		- **Smoke Teleportation**: Valentino can teleport himself and others to a desired location via his smoke, merging into smoke and appearing anywhere else from the same element.
	+ **Soul Manipulation**: Being a control freak who desires power over other people's existence, Valentino forces all of his workers to sign unbreakable soul contracts that makes them his property. Once signed, he is granted complete control over the clients' soul. He can use these contracts to torture his workers spiritually, causing them unbearable, debilitating agony, or outright erase their existence - no matter how far away they are from him - in order to force them to do what he wants. However, Valentino's contracts are not completely unbreakable; it is possible to rend them null and void through the power of deal-making (which is how Alastor was able to eventually free Angel from Valentino's control) or if Valentino willingly releases his employee (which has never happened).
* **Toxin Immunity**: Valentino is immune to chemical agents and the intoxicating effects of his own smoke.

### Abilities

* **Authority**: As an Overlord, Valentino possesses great authority over his workers, servants, gang members, and the denizens of Pentagram City. He was initially the assumed leader of the Vees, with even Vox allowing him to take the reigns for a time, despite the blatant power dichotomy between them, which effectively made him the ruler of Pentagram City as a whole. He has enough pull within the Pentagram that he has nearly every mob organization and the Pentagram City Police Department wrapped around his finger, who obey him out of fear of the moth retaliating against them, and because he supplies them with weapons and drugs in addition to occasionally lending them the service of his workers. His position as an Overlord in general grants him a position relatively high in Hell's hierarchy, giving him sway over all lower demons while still having to take orders from the higher-ups in Hell's society such as Lucifer or the royal families. Despite having lost his leadership over his group, Valentino is still an extremely influential figure within Pride.
* **Bilingualism**: Valentino can speak fluent Italian and English.
* **Charisma**: Valentino possesses a flamboyant, lascivious, and at times eerily comforting charm that has enabled him to persuade hundreds, if not thousands, to his authority over his years in Hell, including the likes of Vox.
* **Enhanced Senses**: As a result of being a moth demon, Valentino has overly sensitive hearing, able to hear miles away. its antennae jigot up each time it senses a potential client or an enemy.
* **Expert Marksmanship**: Valentino has demonstrated impressive skill with firearms. This was seen when he shot Bruce through the head, all the way from the backseat of his limousine. During the Vees' first confrontation with the hotel crew, he was able to accurately aim at Charlie through smoke despite not having a visual of her, and would have killed or at least fatally wounded the princess if it hadn't been for Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb's interference.
* **High Intellect**: Despite his frequent explosions of anger, Valentino possesses surprisingly high amounts of intelligence. Along with being an expert manipulator, he is capable of organizing and orchestrating many of the countless crimes and gang activities committed throughout Pentagram City. He also possesses some knowledge regarding Hell's history, weapons, and technology, and is capable of running multiple successful businesses at once. He is also a master manipulator with thousands of the Pride Ring's inhabitants under his control, and possesses enough cunning to manipulate the loyalty and, occasionally, love others might have for him. He is even intelligent enough to manipulate and playmind games with the likes of Vox, who himself is a masterful manipulator, using his charm to make him, as well as all of his workers, believe that they are useless without him in their lives.
* **Intimidation**: Valentino commands an extremely intimidating and unsettling presence, enough to make even the infamously snarky Angel Dust become docile. Be it through physical abuse, reputation, or his violent outbursts, he strikes fear and revulsion into allies and enemies alike.
* **Manipulation**: Valentino is, without a doubt, a master manipulator, with his words and psychological grip on others being his strongest weapon. Using his charm and keen intelligence, he is capable of manipulating and controlling his workers and employees, as well as other Overlords such as Vox and Velvette, swaying all of them under his command. While selecting new workers, he prefers to target those who are poor, struggling, or down-trodden, promising to give them protection, fame, and drugs as long as they agreed to work for him and remain loyal to him. This often left his targets feeling as if they had no purpose until he found them, establishing a strong sense of loyalty within his workers, which he would then exploit and manipulate to keep them working for him, despite episodes of extreme verbal and physical abuse. Often times, whenever Valentino fears that he is losing control over others, he occasionally employs subtle jabs and guilt trips to make others do what he wants or to keep them under his influence, before firmly, and darkly punishing them for believing they could accomplish anything without his help.
* **Natural Weaponry**: Valentino possesses sharp teeth and claws which he can utilize as offensive weapons. It's possible that he previously used his claws to injure Vox, as evident by the claw marks seen across Vox's body when Valentino had him dance on a pole half-naked for his entertainment.
* **Ocular Illumination**: Valentino's eyes glow a bright red color in dark environments, which allows him to see in the dark.
* **Resources**: Valentino possesses vast connections throughout Pentagram City, with several criminal organization and the corrupt police department of Pentagram City answering to him. He also holds a vast collection of powerful firearms that use angelic bullets as ammo, and he leads a powerful gang that almost rivals that of Vox's gang. As a result of being allies with Vox and Velvette, they are able to consolidate their power and use their respective armies to their advantage.
* **Wealth**: As the owner of Hell's porn industry, a fashion company, and being involved in various drug and weapon deals, Valentino is extremely rich and can afford seemingly anything he desires, from flashy sports cars and limos, clothing, drugs, and even angelic weapons.

### Weapons

* **Cane**: Valentino carries an assortment of flashy canes with him. While initially seeming like ostentatious accessories, he often uses his canes to correct his disobedient employees and sometimes he uses it as a sword.
* **Firearms**: Valentino has a collection of custom handguns which he uses to threaten his workers and subordinates, and for murdering anyone who annoyed, displeased, or opposed him. He often uses his firearms for shooting at sinners from his balcony for sport. His primary weapon which he always carries with him is a hot pink revolver which he affectionately named Moneyshot, which features a custom black grip with three pink hearts, a zebra-print frame, and a gold hammer. His firearms are very powerful, and can cause great damage to anything they hit. His revolver was powerful enough to blow a large flat-screen TV to pieces in only three shots, and when he shot one of his underlings in the head, it caused the goon's entire head to explode on impact. Likewise, he also shot Angel Dust's lower left arm completely off of the spider's body with only one bullet. All of his firearms use holy bullets for ammo, making them extremely dangerous for every demon and sinner of Hell and incredibly useful tools for permanently injuring or killing other demons and even lower angels.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Vox

Vox was Valentino's closest and long-time partner, associate, and an on-off lover, with the two having been in a sexual and professional relationship almost since Valentino was reborn in Hell. Their relationship is highly dysfunctional, parasitic, co-dependent, and hostile, which has resulted in them frequently breaking up with each other, mostly due to Valentino's contemptuous nature. Regardless of their constant arguments and situations of mutual emotional abuse, Valentino and Vox managed to maintain their relationship and partnership for several decades, spending much of their time together dating, partying, or generally hanging out. They both bring out the worst in each other and their whole relationship thrives off of their mutual awfulness and predatory sense of sex. The two are constantly seen flirting and making suggestive comments towards the other, and are heavily implied to still have sex regularly, despite the fact that they supposedly broke up at some point before the events of the series.

Vox is more than happy to assist Valentino with his plans, and even has gone as far as to brainwash some of the moth's workers to make them more docile towards the moth demon. Valentino seems to be aware of Vox's possessiveness towards him and greatly enjoys it, even when Vox goes out of his way to torture Valentino's workers whenever the moth has sex with or shows sexual attraction to them.

Valentino and Vox tend to find themselves at odds for a variety of reasons, mostly due to not agreeing with the other's plans. Vox and Valentino's relationship, much like the latter's relationship with his employees, is laden with emotional abuse; they both play mind games with each other and love bringing out the worst in the other. They constantly insult and downplay the other, with Valentino often regarding Vox as a "broken TV" and little more than an accessory when he is upset with him, and is implied to put his cigarettes out on Vox's skin. Vox himself is not one to shy away from abusing Valentino either, as he offers no real support to Val during his outbursts and runs the risk of escalating things by taunting, baby-talking, and teasing him.

While Vox seems to be genuinely interested in being in a lustful relationship with Valentino, Valentino only cares for what Vox can get him; he uses his relation with Vox to make people jealous and threaten them, never attempts to better himself or apologize whenever he hurts Vox, always has Vox buy him things while never getting him anything in return, constantly uses Vox's money (despite having plenty of money on his own) and never pays him back, and he almost never spends time with Vox unless there is something to gain from his company.

However, Valentino's abuse towards Vox eventually proved to be his downfall when Vox finally fought back against Valentino by paralyzing the moth with his electrokinesis. Vox would then strip Valentino out his control over Pentagram, plotting on keeping the moth for himself while reminding Valentino of his place and that he would have never become an Overlord without Vox's assistance.

Strangely, even after Vox essentially betrayed him, Valentino chose to maintain a working relationship with Vox without displaying any outward outburst. This is evident in their shared enjoyment of betting on fights at Klub Kaiju alongside Velvette. However, Valentino refrained from attempting anything against Vox, well aware that the TV Demon could swiftly put him back in his place, possibly for good.

#### Velvette

"***Velvette**: Val, lookie! The vid you asked me to make is ready! It's literally soooo amaze-balls! (she shows Valentino a tablet that displays an animated video of Vox writing down notes, remaining unfazed as Valentino screams at him)
**Valentino**: The fuck? You were supposed to advertise my company. Not... Whatever the fuck this is. Cute drawing, though.
**Velvette**: Aw, thank you! Sooo, can I have that new phone now?
**Valentino**: Tch... You're lucky you're a crazy ass bitch.*"
— Velvette and Valentino's conversation after he had hired her to animate a promotional video for him.

Velvette is Valentino's second closest associate, social media manager, lover and - from Velvette's perspective - adopted daughter. Valentino is a bit more tranquil and friendly with Velvette than he is with Vox; he lets her host parties and livestreams in his studio every Extermination Day, bought her a new phone, and gave her a pat on the head for helping him massacre Butcher Town. He is also surprisingly tolerant of Velvette's hyperactive behavior and is willing to excuse her for making minor mistakes, which he would never do for anyone else. Unlike Vox, he also enjoys watching Velvette brutally torture her victims and even texts her lessons on how to prolong a victim's suffering. Velvette has a habit of poking fun at Val, and the two enjoy joking around with each other and are a rather chaotic, comedic duo when left together.

While Valentino is generally patient with Velvette, not even she is safe from his ire; on one occasion where Valentino got into an argument with Stolas on Voxtagram and was subsequently humiliated by the Goetia prince, he snapped at Velvette and Vox afterward for not getting involved, calling them both "stupid fucks", saying that they were both dead to him, and telling Velvette that the cookies she previously baked for him sucked, purely out of spite, which caused Velvette to cry. Additionally, after Cherri Bomb destroyed the moth's favorite coat, he violently punched Velvette in the back of the head after she cracked a joke about the ruined coat, and angrily yelled at her to shut up when she started crying, and unlike Vox, displays no remorse whenever he makes her cry.

The series' creators have described the relationship between Velvette and Valentino as though Valentino sees Velvette like a pet, and rewards her for doing what he says.

#### Lucifer Magne

"*One of these days, that fuckin' clown is gonna be answering to me.*"
— Valentino to Vox regarding Lucifer.

Lucifer is Valentino's king, and business partner, and formerly occasional boss. Valentino initially had a somewhat friendly relationship with the King of Hell, gaining enough trust in Lucifer for the Vees to act as his assassins on occasions, as the King of Hell has tasked them with assassinating the more unruly Overlords who threatened Lucifer's position as the King of Hell. When in his presence, Valentino often treated Lucifer with a seemingly large amount of respect, often calling him "Your Highness", and at one point offered the service of his top workers for the King of Hell's pleasure. It is implied that Lucifer frequented Valentino's studio so that the moth could entertain him. However, Valentino's behavior around the King of Hell is just a façade, as the moth demon actually highly dislikes Lucifer, as he believes that Lucifer views him like a common thug. He is also quite mocking of the King of Hell behind his back, singing a mocking song about Lucifer's fall from Heaven with Vox and Velvette, only to quickly stop when the King o Hell himself appeared for a report.

Regardless of his hidden resentment towards the King of Hell, Valentino fears Lucifer, as he cowered in terror when the King of hell berated him, and was utterly terrified at the price of failing to follow through with Lucifer's orders to demolish the Hazbin Hotel. Regardless, Valentino was bold enough to assume control over the Pride Ring when Lucifer had vanished, and seemed delighted when Velvette brought up the possibly that Lucifer had died.

In Season 3, Valentino, Vox, and Velvette manage to get back in Lucifer's good graces after they capture one half of the Happy Hotel crew, although Lucifer still treats the three Overlords very harshly, and makes it clear the only reason he did not kill them was because Satan enlisted their help.

#### Dia and Summer

Dia and Summer are two lesbian sinners who act as Valentino's top models and henchmen for his crimes. They typically accompany him during visits to his nightclubs, where they are often seen clinging onto Valentino or entertaining other participants of the nightclub. While Valentino is highly attracted to them, he appears to solely view the two as pretty faces, accessories, and sex objects as he often has them kiss and have sex each other for his pleasure. By their own, they seems to be attracted by him for his power and charisma, and generally follow his every command with no questions asked. Particularly, Summer seems very attracted by Valentino's raging outbursts and act as his personal spy.

### Pets

#### Queef

"*New look, New me. Taking care of number 1 after yesterday, got my antenna done 🤗 Also got myself a fucking stupid looking thing, it’s names Queef and it’s pissing me off already.*"
— Valentino's Voxtagram post after acquiring Queef.

"*I killed it cause it was pissing me off LOL 😝 Anyway got back with Voxxy 💞*"
— Valentino's Voxtagram post after shooting and killing Queef.

Queef was a Queef (Hell's version of domesticated dogs) that Valentino once had briefly as a pet. Only a few hours after acquiring it, Valentino shot and killed Queef, claiming he did so because it was annoying him, and fed its remains to Vox's pet shark soon after.

### Enemies

#### Angel Dust

"*We've been over this. I love Angel... As a pet, a possession to be admired and played with. He's mine to do with however I want! But as a person with actual 'feelings' that should be respected? Absolutely not. Feelings 'n' shit ain't my style.*"
— Valentino's recurring phrase directed at Angel Dust.

Valentino and Angel Dust have an extremely long, complex, and antagonistic history. Valentino took in Angel as an employee when the struggling spider demon was caught stealing from him. Although the Overlord considered killing him, he saw potential in Angel's looks and lifestyle, and offered him a job as a porn actor and dancer in his studio. He offered to give Angel all the drugs he could have desired, as well as protection from Pentagram City's vagrants and police departments, which Angel, who had been struggling to survive on the streets for years prior, accepted. Angel subsequently became one of the moth's most profitable workers, earning his pimp millions as a result of his work in pornographic films and performances at Valentino's nightclubs.

Regardless of Angel's hard work and earnings, Valentino constantly put Angel down, refusing to show him any genuine affection outside of lustful attraction, and only cared for him as long as he was able to profit off of Angel's body. Incapable of seeing Angel beyond what he meant to him, he viewed the spider only as a slave and sex object who existed only to feed his sexual lust and make him money, constantly having Angel kiss and have sex with him, whether it was consensual or not. The only remotely kind things Valentino has ever done for Angel was buy him clothes, makeup, and gift him Fat Nuggets as a pet to entice Angel in working for him longer.

Throughout his years of service, Valentino physically, emotionally, and sexually abused Angel, often as a form of punishment for his infractions, such as failing to pay him the money he owed him, talking back against him, or being late to photo or film shoots. In addition, Angel's work with Valentino had left him impoverished, as although he earned millions from his films and performances at the moth's nightclubs, Valentino took nearly all of Angel's money for himself, barely giving Angel enough to live in unkempt, low-rent apartments, which resulted in him having to do degrading sex work just to pay his rent. As a result of Valentino's abuse, Angel always seemed to be extremely uncomfortable and shaken by Valentino's presence while serving him. Although Angel typically behaves with a smug and condescending demeanor around other sinners, he was outright submissive whenever Valentino was present, and did not dare say or do anything that would get him on his pimp's bad side. Valentino also displayed a general disregard for Angel's well-being, as he would frequently enlist Angel to do immoral and dangerous jobs for him in exchange for money, such as interrogating and torturing his business rivals, assassinating rival gangs, and attending drug deals, uncaring of the fact that Angel could have been potentially killed, captured, or injured during any of these jobs.

Much like his other workers, Valentino was also extremely possessive of Angel Dust, and expected nothing but loyalty and complete subservience out of him. At some point before the events of the series, Valentino decided to test the loyalty of Angel by kidnapping his best friend, Cherri Bomb, and attempting to have Angel kill her as revenge for her and the Resistance interfering with his businesses. However, Angel refused to murder his friend, and he instead turned his gun onto his pimp. Angered by his treachery, Valentino easily disarmed Angel, had him brutally beaten by his men, and used his beloved pet pig, Fat Nuggets, as a bargaining chip, vowing to kill the pig if Angel ever disobeyed him again. Valentino's mistreatment of Angel was notably so horrific that it was enough to give him some form of PTSD.

Angel Dust had put up with Valentino's mistreatment for so long as he deluded himself into thinking Valentino loved him, but following a particularly bad experience with Valentino and support from Charlie, Vaggie, and Fergus, Angel finally built up the courage to rebel against Valentino. Not only was he brave enough to renounce the pimp by removing his gold tooth, publicly humiliate and insult him in front of Vox and Velvette, but he also struggled against the moth and spat in his face during their confrontation at the Hazbin Hotel. During this confrontation, Valentino went through with his threat and brutally killed Fat Nuggets while forcing Angel to watch helplessly as he did, all as a way to emotionally scar the spider demon and deprive him of the thing he cared about the most. This traumatic event affected Angel so greatly that it caused him to fall into a suicidal depression. After murdering Fat Nuggets, Valentino, in a final gambit, used Angel's own emotional growth as a weapon against him by giving the spider the "generous" offer to go back to working for him at Porn Studios; For coming so far as he had as a person, all it would have resulted in was putting Angel right back in Valentino's studio that he started in and being the pimp's plaything for the rest of his existence, and regardless of if Angel had refused, it would have led to the death of all his friends and broken him completely.

In Season 3, Valentino and Angel Dust have a much more openly hostile relationship, as a result of the events of Season 1 and Angel no longer working for the moth. When they first encountered each other in Purgatory, Angel once again spat in Valentino's face and cursed him for killing Fat Nuggets, but Valentino merely brushed Angel's comment off by saying that he killed his own pet and lost no sleep over it. When Angel and the others refused to reveal the location of Heaven's Light (partially because they did not know it at that time), Valentino and his two associates sent Angel and the rest of the Vaggie's team to be tortured for information by Lucifer. While Angel was imprisoned by the King of Hell, Valentino approached the spider demon and offered him his job back, although Angel claimed he was aware of Valentino's manipulation tactics and would never fall for them again.

After the eight year timeskip, the Vees attempted to prevent the Happy Hotel crew from activating Baxter's portal so that they could use it to escape Purgatory. This led to a personal showdown between Angel Dust and Valentino in Baxter's laboratory, starting when Angel prevented Valentino from murdering one of the seven angel children. During the ensuing struggle, Valentino angrily shot Angel in one of his lower arms, completely and permanently severing Angel's lower left arm. With Angel wounded, Valentino attempted to appeal to Angel, saying that he was willing to forgive him, although only on the condition that he make it up to him by abandoning the Happy Hotel crew and going back to his job as a prostitute. However, a bloodied and bruised Angel angrily snapped at Valentino, calling his years with Valentino a "joke", and daring the moth demon to kill him. Valentino happily loaded his gun to kill Angel, claiming that he was almost willing to cruelly spare Angel by leaving him in his miserable state. However, before Valentino could fire, Angel was swooped into the arms of the seven angel children, who then flew Angel out of Baxter's lab, while Valentino was left in Baxter's crumbling lab.

Nonetheless, Valentino persisted in his attempts to compel Angel Dust to come back to him. Following Vox's suggestion, Valentino resorted to using Angel Dust's soul contract as a means to inflict excruciating pain and essentially subject him to constant torture. Valentino sadistically refused to stop the pain unless Angel came crawling back to him. In spite of Valentino's relentless efforts, Angel eventually found liberation from Valentino's contract with the intervention of Alastor. Taking matters into his own hands, Alastor confronted the Vees at Klub Kaiju and employed an unexpected champion to challenge Vark, the Vees' champion. Leveraging his champion's unthreatening nature, Alastor cunningly deceived the Vees into betting Angel's contract, exploiting their arrogance to his advantage. Valentino was expectedly left apoplectic
at this.

#### Cherri Bomb

Cherri Bomb and Valentino had an intense hatred for each other. Cherri loathed Valentino for having abused her best friend Angel Dust, and she made a hobby out of blowing up billboards and other advertisements with the moth's face and business involved, as well as deliberately provoking him by sabotaging his arms businesses and dealings with his associates, often leaving the Overlord greatly enraged. At one point, Valentino's underlings managed to capture Cherri when she attempted to sabotage his businesses again, and the moth decided to take advantage of the situation by attempting to have Angel murder her out of vengeance, having taken a notice of him having been seen with her. It was clear that Angel's friendship with Cherri was much stronger than any loyalty he had with Valentino, as he refused to kill her and instead turned his gun on Valentino, although the moth demon easily disarmed him. Valentino then tortured Cherri by letting his men have their way with her, and then set her free, but made it clear that he only freed her so that he could continue tormenting her by abusing Angel and leaving her with no way to prevent her best friend's mistreatment.

Even after this intimidation tactic, Cherri Bomb refused to stand by and let her friend be mistreated, and continued to provoke Valentino, resulting in the moth demon frequently sending his subordinates and the Pentagram City Police Department out to attack her and the Resistance fighters, although she always managed to fight them off or escape, albeit with a few minor injuries. Valentino later captured Cherri again to lure Angel Dust and the Happy Hotel crew into a trap, and during her imprisonment delighted in tormenting her with Vox. Despite this, Cherri ultimately managed to free herself and aided Angel and the hotel crew in Valentino's temporary defeat.

#### Charlie Magne

Charlie and Valentino have very little in the way of interaction with each other, but it is clear that they mutually dislike each other. Valentino frequently mocks and laughs at the princess' ideas to redeem sinners so that they can ascend to Heaven, as seen when he laughed mockingly while watching her pitch of the Happy Hotel on the 666 News, and when he laughed raucously and called her a "dumbass bimbo" for believing that any sinner would want to go to Heaven, much less become a better person. When the Vees ambushed the Happy Hotel crew after luring them into Butcher Town, Valentino attempted to kill Charlie by shooting her with his revolver whilst the princess was tending to her injured bodyguards Razzle and Dazzle, although Valentino's attempted murder was foiled by Angel and Cherri Bomb, the former of which shoved Charlie out of the way and took the bullet for her (although said bullet fortunately merely injured Angel Dust by hitting his leg), and the latter of whom hurled a bomb at Valentino, knocking him to the ground and destroying his coat.

#### Vaggie

"*Vel, try not to hurt our spicy Latina **too** badly. Once we're through with this dump, I'm gonna show her a **real** fun time. I bet Blondie's into vanilla shit, anyway.*"
— Valentino to Velvette about Vaggie.

Valentino appeared to have a lustful obsession with Vaggie, despite her utterly despising him. Despite her rocky relationship with Angel, Vaggie was physically disgusted by Valentino and the mistreatment Angel was put through during his years of serving him, and went out of her way to comfort Angel several times, as she also knew what is was like to be sexually abused and manipulated by someone. On Valentino's side, he is lustfully attracted to Vaggie while at the same time expressing his disappointment of her for associating with the Happy Hotel, believing her to be nothing more than Charlie's sidekick. When the Vees launched their attack on the Hazbin Hotel, Valentino ordered Velvette to spare Vaggie as he wanted to make a worker out of her.

#### Alastor

Although Valentino has expressed interest in having Alastor as a business partner or potential lover, as he claimed the Radio Demon would grow to like him and Vox if he had joined forces with them, Alastor clearly abhors Valentino, rejecting his offers to forge a partnership, and openly refers to the moth as a "pest" and a "bug". Alastor is also repulsed by his constant preying on his workers and Hell's downtrodden denizens, which even a sadistic serial killer like himself considers "distasteful". The Radio Demon also dislikes Valentino simply for his association with Vox, who is Alastor's rival. In their first on-screen interaction, Valentino attempted to flirt with the Radio Demon following his confrontation with Vox, to which he threatened to dismember Valentino if he continued his advances.

Despite the clear tension between the two and Alastor evidently being leagues above him in terms of power, the Radio Demon is still fully aware that the pimp is a dangerous threat with a lot of connections, especially since he is allied with Vox and Pentagram City's strongest Overlords, Vox. As a result, he avoids direct confrontations with Valentino unless it involves defending the Happy Hotel or its staff.

#### Stolas

"***Stolas**: I knew disco was dead, but I didn’t think it went to Hell!
**Valentino**: Don't hate me 'cause you ain't me, imp fucker.
**Stolas**: Why would I want to be a rat?*"
— Valentino and Stolas on Voxtagram.

As shown on their Voxtagram accounts, Valentino had a very contemptuous relationship with the Goetia prince Stolas, with the two frequently getting into arguments. Valentino ridiculed Stolas for his relationship with an imp, and mocked the Goetic prince by calling him a "dried-up old man" who had no one to truly love him, while Stolas often insulted Valentino's pride as well as his attempts to be intimidating.

### Other

#### Sir Pentious

"*Gross.*"
— Valentino, rebuking Sir Pentious on a Voxtagram post.

Sir Pentious longed for the attention and respect of Valentino, as well as the other Vees. Regardless, Valentino constantly ignored and rebuffed Pentious, and, like much of Hell's populace, took pleasure in mocking the snake demon openly by calling him an "old man".

### Season 1

"*Oh, Sugar, work for me, and you'll have everything you ever wanted. Do as I say, (Valentino holds out his hand) and I'll be the Daddy you always wanted.*"
— Valentino to Angel Dust in their first encounter, shortly before picking him up from the streets.

"***Valentino**: (loudly opens the door to his longue and stands in the entrance of the club, startling the club-goers, who stand in fear) ...'Sup, bitches?
**Bartender**: M- My lord! Back from your trip so soon?
**Valentino**: (to Dia and Summer) Dia. Summer. Daddy needs some TLC. (Dia and Summer cling onto Valentino seductively as he sits in a chair and is handed a glass of wine)
**Unnamed Thug**: Val, ya gotta see this shit! That dumb bitch princess is talkin' about her redemption plan again!
**Valentino**: (he faces the club's television and begins watching Charlie's pitch of the Hazbin Hotel on the 666 News) Redemption, huh? (chuckles) What a fuckin' joke. She can't even convince her daddy, much less all of Hell. What sinner's desperate enough to join that shitstain motel, any way? (he takes a drink from his glass as his workers and henchmen laugh)
**Charlie**: (on the TV, to Katie Killjoy) Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust. (Valentino gasps softly and watches the TV intently)
**Tom Trench**: The porn star?
**Katie Killjoy**: You fucking would, Tom! (to Charlie) In any case, that's not even an accomplishment. I'm sure you could get that hooker to do anything with enough booger sugar and lube.
**Charlie**: Oh, I beg to differ! He's been behaved, clean, and out of trouble for two weeks now!
**Valentino**: FUCK THAT!!!! (Valentino crushes his wine glass angrily, and shoots the TV several times with his revolver as his associates stand back in shock)
**Summer**: Somethin' wrong, Daddy...?
**Valentino**: (chuckles lowly) ...If Angel truly believes in that raggedy-ass hotel, he's as dumb as he is beautiful... (laughs) And he **is** beautiful.
**Unnamed Thug**: That fuckin' rat! He's tryin' to hide from you, boss! And he's **still** hanging out with Cherri!
**Valentino**: (he shoots the thug in thew head) **I KNOW**!! (after a beat, he laughs) Nah, nah, shh, everyone chill... I'm gonna go have a little chat with Angel in a few hours. Believe me, he'll learn, whether he wants to... Or not.*"
— Valentino watching Charlie's pitch of the Happy Hotel, and discovering that Angel Dust is a patient.

"*Angel... Daddy wants to talk to ya...*"
— Valentino while waiting for Angel Dust in his limo.

"***Valentino**: So, Angelcakes... I was whatchin' the news earlier, and coulda sworn I heard you were stayin' at that princesses' new hotel, and I was just wondering... Do you really buy into that redemption bullshit?
**Angel Dust**: Redemption?! (scoffs) You serious, Val? Of course I don't. I was just stayin' there fer the free rent, ya know? You've been askin' fer your money back and I thought this was the best way to save up fer that.
**Valentino**: (grins) That so? Well, lucky for you, that's just what I was hoping to hear. From what I've heard, that princess is such a downer. What was her name again? Chebby? Chandler. Some tranny shit like that. Rumor has it you can't even smoke in the lobby without pissin' off that feisty little sidekick of hers. How is a demon supposed to get any enjoyment in that dump? (he begins laughing)
**Angel Dust**: (struggling to laugh) Y- Yeah? Right? Oh, don't even get me started on V-
**Valentino**: **BUT-** (Angel steps back in fear) Your reputation- MY reputation is in jeopardy just by your name bein' associated with that place. Can you imagine what my associates are gonna think if they found out **my** Angel Dust was going to rehab?
**Angel Dust**: Val, If anything', I just needed a bigga place for my little Nuggs. He's a pig, y'know? He needs a lotta-
**Valentino**: Ooh, you love that pig, don't you, Angel? What a precious little thing... And you two are so cute together! It'd sure be a shame if something were to happen to it... It would break your heart, wouldn't it, sweetheart? But, y'know, accidents **can** happen.
**Angel Dust**: You... don't need to do that, Val... I can make it all up to ya. If there's anythin' I can do, just say the word.
**Valentino**: (snickers) Oh, I'm about to. Since you're so keen on staying there, we're gonna play damage control and have an all-day shoot tomorrow. It'll have it all; spanking, blow, hair pulling, deepthroating, and maybe even a little... Ass to ass. We'll advertise it all over Pride. That's what it's gonna take to remind people you haven't lost your edge. You like that, sweetheart?
**Angel Dust**: S- Sure, Val...
**Valentino**: Good. (he approaches Angel Dust) Oh, and Angel? (after a pause, he punches Angel in the face, giving him a black eye) I saw you were hanging around with that anarchist bitch again. (Valentino's smoke trails grab Angel by the neck) You know how I feel about that. I don't want to **ever** see you with her again, got that?
**Angel Dust**: (dejected) Yes, sir...
**Valentino**: Is that what you're supposed to say?!
**Angel Dust**: (faking a smile) Whateva you want, Daddy!
**Valentino**: (he releases Angel) Good boy... Now **get out**.*"
— Valentino confronting Angel Dust on his staying at the Happy Hotel..

"*I wonder if they make diamond handcuffs.*"
— Valentino while watching Angel Dust leave the studio.

"*Angel's mad he has to work. (laughs) Boo-fucking-hoo.*"
— Valentino mocking Angel Dust while watching him streetwalk.

"***Velvette**: Are my dads fighting again? (fake crying) Oh, I just hate it when this happens...
**Valentino**: Ain't my fault Vox is a dumbass.
**Vox**: Velvette, you're literally the same age as us, what the fuck?*"
— Velvette, Valentino, and Vox.

"***Vox**: Hmm...
**Valentino**: What is it, Vox?
**Vox**: I've been thinking...
**Valentino**: Ew, gross. Don't do that.*"
— Valentino and Vox.

"***Valentino**: How do I look?
**Vox**: Superfly, baby.
**Valentino**: You're goddamn right.*"
— Valentino while trying on new outfits for Vox.

"*Stop calling me a ‘Rat’. I don’t even fucking like cheese.*"
— Valentino to Vox after the latter called him a rat.

"***Valentino**: CUT! Angel, what the fuck was that?!
**Angel Dust**: V- Val... I don't fuckin' know about this one... Could I just-
**Valentino**: (he aims his revolver at Angel) Have you ever noticed how guns look **exactly** like dicks, Angel Baby? It's almost as if the guy who made these things wanted to kill people with weaponized cocks. (laughs) Point is, if you fuck up this next take, I'll kill you, and then kill him myself. (aims the gun at the snuff victim) Oh-ho-ho... Better yet, how 'bout I kill him myself and make you fuck the bullet hole? ...Nah, not right now. (to Velvette) Write that down! (to Angel) So... (he cocks his revolver) Action.*"
— Valentino and Angel while filming a pornographic snuff film.

"*Angel, Angel, Angel Baby. Need I remind you who took you in, looked after you like a true friend, and gave you a nice job even after you stole from him? I'll tell ya who, me. All's I need you to do is stand up there, dance, and look pretty for Daddy.*"
— Valentino to Angel Dust before he had a performance.

"*What... the FUCK is he doing?!*"
— Valentino after Angel Dust abruptly quit mid-way through his performance.

"***Valentino**: (barging into Angel Dust's dressing room) Angel... You... FUCKING WHORE!!! (Valentino slaps Angel Dust, sending him falling to the ground)
**Angel Dust**: Ow!! I- I'm sorry! Fuck, I'm sorry!
**Valentino**: I gave you the simplest of instructions, and you couldn't even follow that?! Get back on that stage, shake off that attitude of yours, and make back all of the money you owe from the past few nights. Got that? My credibility is on the line based on how much head you give! (Valentino violently slaps Angel Dust)
**Angel Dust**: S- stop!
**Valentino**: What did I say?! (he slams Angel against a wall) Shut that whore mouth of yours unless you're getting ready to suck dick! How many times are you gonna fuck up before you learn your fuckin' place?! (Angel Dust yells and punches Valentino, knocking his glasses off of his face and shattering them)
**Angel Dust**: (he gasps) Val! I- I'm sorry! You okay?! I didn't mean to hit ya like that!
**Valentino**: (he rises back up, punching Angel to the ground) Tch... Feisty bitch. That was a good one, Angel. (his red smoke trails grab Angel Dust's limbs and pin him on a bed) I tried bein' nice, tried to indulge your bullshit.... (his smoke trails close the door shut) But it seems you need another lesson from Daddy. (he approaches the bed as Angel Dust screams in terror)*"
— Valentino confronting Angel Dust backstage after he quit mid-way through a performance, and moments before raping him.

"***Vox**: What the fuck was that shit?
**Valentino**: Just takin' care of some business. (laughs and takes a drag of his cigarette)
**Vox**: You fucking piece of shit.
**Valentino**: Come on, Voxxy, I thought you loved some fucked up fun.
**Vox**: Now, I LOVE violence. But that? That was... unseemly.
**Valentino**: Now, now, Voxxy Baby... We both know you're just jealous that I'm getting tail from Angel. Don't hate me 'cause you ain't me.
**Vox**: Humph. (he straightens his tie in a mirror) Why the hell would I want to be a fucking rat?
**Valentino**: (laughs) Look at you. So jeli. Get on my level.
**Vox**: Get on YOUR level? Oh, buckle your seatbelts, boys and girls, we're hittin' rock bottom!*"
— Valentino and Vox arguing after Valentino raped Angel Dust.

"*(sigh) Dealin’ with Angel always puts me in a bad mood. What do ya say we go grab Vel and have some fucked up fun?*"
— Valentino suggesting to Vox that they go on a killing spree.

"***Vox**: Why the fuck do we always have to wait on Vel every time we do this shit? I have a very important business meeting at midnight that I can't reschedule!
**Valentino**: Chill out, Voxxy. It's been a while since she's had this much fun... And I like to watch.*"
— Vox and Valentino, while waiting for Velvette to finish torturing a few sinners.

"***Sinner**: (to Valentino) Val, you can't keep sticking me with babysitting duty!
**Velvette**: (to Valentino) He doesn't wanna play with me...
**Sinner**: Because you stabbed me in my fucking kidney! For no goddamn reason!
**Velvette**: Quit bein' such a meanie mouth! Everyone knows that's just my way of saying 'hello'!
**Valentino**: (to the sinner) Seriously? One little stab and you cry like a little bitch? I need new henchmen. (to Velvette) If he keeps bitchin' don't be afraid to cut his face off. (he walks away)
**Sinner**: Val, please!
**Velvette**: LET'S PLAY OPERATION!!!*"
— A sinner complains to Valentino about Velvette's behavior after she stabbed him without provocation.

"***Valentino**: Always a pleasure to have the King of Hell himself grace my humble abode. I suppose the missus won't be joining us this time?
**Lucifer**: She had an engagement at this hour.
**Valentino**: Shame. She was the life of the party at your last visit. And quite a pretty one, and that tantalizing voice...
**Lucifer**: ...Do you need to tell me something?
**Valentino**: (snaps back to reality) Oh, where are my manners? (Valentino snaps his fingers, prompting Angel Dust and several other prostitutes walk up) You know I always make it my personal mission to show you a good time. Take your pick, my lord. I'd be very proud! Any one will do, if you're **really** feelin' spicy, don't be afraid to have some extra company.
**Lucifer**: Hmmmm, interesting! (Lucifer sniffs the air and tastes the air, getting a mischievous smile) You know what I'll do instead?! How about I take every single woman who has ever lived and ever will live! (he cackles) Oh, I love it when you sinners try to flatter me!
**Valentino**: (he looks flustered and slightly frustrated) I- I know how busy you get around this time, and I'd be pleased if you would allow only my best to relieve your stress. If you want my suggestion... (Valentino pulls out Angel Dust and starts caressing his body) Take Angel. He's my baby, my world. I LOVE him. I should warn you, though, he's... Been a bit of a bad boy lately. So, he's not allowed to talk, but I promise he can show you a good time.
**Lucifer**: (he slaps his knee, cackling and tapping Valentino on the abdomen with his scepter) Oh, you're a card, aren't you, Val?! I like you! You know what I like best?! Sleeping with my wife and YOUR QUEEN! Did you just forget that I'm a proud married man! Hurumph! (he slowly approaches Valentino as his expression darkens) So... How about you stop fucking around, and let's get this party started, **shall we**? (Valentino stands still with a wide-eyed expression; Lucifer laughs) Apologies, friend. Didn't mean to frighten you. Certain... Events have made me quite cross. (he walks up to the entrance of Porn Studios before turning back to Valentino, leaning on his scepter) But, don't you worry! Let's discuss your assignment over some refreshments, yes? I'll bestow you some of my patented ciderrrr! Ooh-hoo-hoo!*"
— Valentino and Lucifer before their meeting.

"***Valentino**: Do you... Remember the deal we made all those years ago, Angelcakes? You were nothing before you met me. I took you from the streets, protected you from all the mobs and loan sharks, and made you a star. I gave you everything. And all I asked is that you be a good pet and moneymaker. (he turns to Angel, who has an ice pack pressed against his swollen eye) Now, was that too much to ask?
**Angel Dust**: (he looks at Valentino bitterly) Yeah, yeah. I get it, I know. But here's the deal; I only started actin' out when **you** changed. It was neva this bad before... You can yammer about how you 'saved' me. But lemme tell ya somethin', Just 'cause you take on a stray dog don't mean it needsta stay on the leash forever. (he scoffs) It woulda been better for me to take my chances with the loan sharks - at least they woulda only broken my legs.
**Valentino**: (he smirks) Oh, I've broken so much more inside of you, babe. And, about that thing you said oh so poetically... Way I see it, you're the dog, and I'm the leash. Without me, you'd be lying in a ditch somewhere, getting fucked by the countless men you thought you could trust. (a smoke-rope is suddenly around Angel's neck) I think you forgot the part where you needed me. (after a pause, Angel puts his face in his hands) Aw... Don't cry, sweetheart. You know how much Daddy loves you. And, well, you know what they say: Love hurts. (he grabs Angel Dust's chin and makes Angel look at him) You know what? I'll make it aaaaall up to ya. I know how much you love dancing, so I've decided I'm gonna open a new dance club in your honor once this is all over. Everyone will see your face and name from miles away. You'd like that, wouldn't you, baby? But, I'm gonna need your help getting Cinderella and all her merry little friends outta that hotel. What do ya say about that, baby?
**Angel Dust**: (forcing a smile) A- anythin' for you, Val...
**Valentino**: (chuckles) Good boy. (he squeezes Angel's face tightly and leans into his face) Now, what do you say?
**Angel Dust**: ...Thank you, Daddy.*"
— Valentino and Angel Dust while having dinner.

"*Baby, you are lookin' fine today... Amazing what a set of new speakers can buy these days.*"
— Valentino while watching Vox pole dance.

"***Angel Dust**: SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! ...Val, this- this treatin' me like a pet thing? It stops... N- now. I'm done wit' all this bullshit.
**Valentino**: (chuckles) Oooh? Don't wanna be a pet anymore, huh? You're a big boy now, aren't ya~? But, oh no! I think you're forgettin' one tiny little detail... (he grabs Angel by the neck and pulls him face-to-face) **I OWN YOU**! You're my property and whatever I want or say, goes. And I know damn well all those drugs didn't burn that outta your head.
**Angel Dust**: You- You said things would be different-
**Valentino**: (he backhands Angel, knocking him to the ground) You know I don't like repeating myself. Give me more lip and next time I'll knock 'em **off your face**. (Angel Dust lays on the ground, holding his face and sobbing) Now if you wanna walk outta here in one piece, you better give me a proper answer-
**Angel Dust**: Yeah. I'm done. And ya know what? I shouldn't have even expected somethin' different. God, how fuckin' stupid am I?! S'all a waste of my time. It's always been one giant waste a' fuckin' time. At least the otha times ya waited more than one fuckin' day to backstab me.
**Valentino**: (fake yawns) Are you still here?
**Angel Dust**: (laughs) Oh, yeah, sorry, Val. Lemme dumb it down for you. **Yer** a fuckin' waste of time. All those 70 years, all those nights I sucked yer tiny dick, (Valentino's smug grin disappears and his eyes widen) **all of it**. You think I want ya?! (he laughs) You look like a moth fucked a premature prune! And I'm sick of yer stupid fuckin' useless canes! I'm sick of it! I'm sick of the late nights, and the perfume, and the snuff films, and the weight-watching kits! ...And the LIES!!! (he forcibly rips his gold tooth out and throws it at a mirror, shattering it) **FUCK YER LIES**!!!!! That's what you are, Val. One big fuckin' lie! You're a cum-jockeyin', bedazzled, parasitic, empty-promisin' piece of shit **LIAR**!!! And guess what? If **I** had yer job, I wouldn't be such a goddamn prick about it!
**Valentino**: (Valentino's eyes glow bright red as he seethes with rage, he looks broken) ...If you had **my** job? **TINY DICK**? (laughs angrily) Oh, you... You little **shit**. (suddenly, red smoke shaped like two hands grab Angel by the neck from behind, strangling him) Ah, the return of that famous Angel Dust sass. But here's the thing, I don't care how much sass you got, because in the end... (he tightens the smokey hands once more, causing Angel Dust to be forced on his knees, struggling for air) You work for me, I can do anything I want to you and all that sass makes ya all the hotter, baby.*"
— Angel and Valentino's confrontation.

"***Fergus**: So, Valentino, right?
**Valentino**: (grinning) And you must be Fergus, I presume... Angel's been talkin' so much about you...
**Fergus**: Yeah, yeah. I've heard all the stories. Overlord of Hell, preying on the weak. You seem like a fun guy.
**Valentino**: (chuckles) I dunno what you're talking about. My clients love me, right, Angel? (he uses red smoke to make Angel Dust nod)
**Fergus**: Oh, yeah, aren't you two just the pinnacle of a healthy relationship? (scoffs) My ass.
**Valentino**: Now, now... (his smoke grabs Fergus by his limbs) You think you can come into **my** pad, disrespect me, and walk out like you own the place? (laughs loudly) I don't think so, baby. (as Fergus struggles, the smoke trails violently constrict his entire body, suspending him in the air) I know Angel's been giving you info on that hotel, and you're going to cooperate with me, or I just might have to squeeze it outta you.*"
— Valentino meets Fergus.

"*Are you going to give me what I want, or should I just put a bullet in your head, and spare myself the trouble?*"
— Valentino interrogating Fergus for information on the Happy Hotel.

"*Where we're takin' you, **Angel will never find you**.*"
— Valentino to Fat Nuggets after kidnapping him.

"***Valentino Worker 1**: So, Angel's friend, huh? (laughs)
**Valentino**: I haven't met a bigger bitch sincethat prissy, imp-fucking slut, Stolas. He's got no business callin' me a rat when he's out there having an imp suck him off. (scoffs)
**Valentino Worker 1**: You okay, boss?
**Valentino**: Just dandy. Why wouldn't I be?
**Valentino Worker 1**: ...Because Angel dumped you. (everyone in the club gasps and stares at the worker in fear)
**Valentino**: What... The fuck... Did you just say?
**Valentino Worker 1**: Look, Val, there's plenty of fish in the sea. Angel was just one of many sluts in Pentagram City. All you gotta do is wave some money in their face and they'll come crawling to suck your dick. (laughs) In fact, just yesterday me and my f- (Valentino shoots the worker's head off with his revolver)
**Valentino**: HE DIDN'T FUCKING DUMP ME!! **I OWN HIM!** AND HE'S GOING TO FIND OUT VERY SOON WHY YOU DON'T FUCK WITH ME!! (he turns to the club-goers) What are you fuckheads lookin' at? (the club-goers nervously go back to doing their activities)*"
— Valentino murdering one of his goons for implying that Angel Dust dumped him.

"*....And, get this, he said he could do MY JOB better than me! If he had his way, he'd just sit around in his crackhouse, getting high all day. (his face twists with anger for a moment before changing back to smiling) But luckily he's got daddy's firm hand to tell him what to do.*"
— Valentino ranting to a disinterested Velvette.

"*This little bitch has been sabotaging my businesses for the last few months. Not only that, but Vox told me he's seen you hangin' around with her and her gang lately. (chuckles) That's just not acceptable, now is it, baby? What do ya say we make an example outta her? (he hands a clearly shaken Angel a machine gun) Come on, Angel Baby... Pull the trigger, and make Daddy proud. Just don't damage her face too much. I want her to look real pretty when her head goes on my wall.*"
— Valentino in a flashback, attempting to have Angel Dust kill Cherri Bomb.

"***Valentino**: (Cherri Bomb is dragged over to him by his men) Cherri... (chuckles) How are ya doing?
**Cherri Bomb**: Eh, could be better. Ha! You look like fucking shit. My bombs fucked your ass up bad, eh?
**Valentino**: Shut the fuck up, you bitch!
**Cherri Bomb**: I mean, you always look like shit, but, right now, you look like those flaming bags full of shit we leave at your doorstep. (one of Valentino's goons strikes her in the abdomen with a baton) Ah! Uh... Fuck! ...Yeah, buddy, you're right... That was an insult to shit.
**Valentino**: That's for fuckin' with my businesses. I've killed bitches for doing a-
**Cherri Bomb**: Tenth of the shit I've done. Blah, blah, blah. Angie told me all about your games, Val. (Valentino's goon strikes Cherri on the head) Gah!
**Valentino**: As much as I would love, and I mean **love**, to blow your brains out, or just have Velvette cut you up into tiny pieces, I-
**Cherri Bomb**: You need me alive to lure in Angie and his friends. (giggles) I get it, I get it. Fuck, you're boring. (Valentino's goon strikes her twice with a baton and then kicks her while she's on the ground, causing Cherri to shout in pain) Gah! (groaning) Fuck you too, buddy...
**Valentino**: You might not want to make fun of me at the moment. You might have been safe out there in your own turf with your little explosives and friends, but right now, you're just a loud little bitch with no place to hide. We're gonna have some fun with you.*"
— Valentino to Cherri Bomb after capturing her.

"***Valentino**: What... Is that... You're eating, Jenny?
**Jenny**: ...A hamburger? (she shares a laugh with her girlfriend)
**Valentino**: And why would you do that? Are you a fat ass?
**Jenny**: Val, It was just one-
**Valentino**: (slams his fist on the table, attracting the attention of the nightclub goers) Why can't you whores just fucking listen for once?! Daddy creates these diets because he cares. Stick to it, or you'll get fat and useless. (Valentino grabs the burger from her hands and throws it to the floor) Now... eat it.
**Jenny**: (laughs nervously) Val, I'm sorry. Next time I'll just get gluten-free-
**Valentino**: I said... (he pulls out his revolver and aims it at her face) Eat the **fucking** burger. Just like you were, right off the floor, **now**.
**Jenny**: (she begins crying) Okay! Okay, okay... (she gets on her knees and begins reluctantly eating the burger off of the floor)
**Valentino**: Yeah... Just like that. (Jenny begins crying; still eating) You like, don'tcha? God, you're such a gross, fucking fat pig. Do Daddy a favor and oink like the pig you are. (Jenny looks up at him; Valentino cocks his revolver) **NOW!** (Jenny starts hyperventilating and shaking with tears, before making pig noises, while the club-goers look on with different reactions) Y'know what? I'm done with you. (to two nearby bouncers) Get this pig out of my club and throw 'er in the trash where she belongs.*"
— Valentino humiliating one of his workers.

"***Valentino**: (while in a large theater with Velvette, watching a pronographic snuff film with loud screaming being heard) Ahh, now THIS is the afterlife...
**Vox**: (Vox's face abruptly appears on the entire screen, pushing the film into a miniplayer on the lower right side) VAL!
**Valentino**: (he yelps before angrily throwing a soda at the screen; Velvette just glances up from her phone before browsing again) What the fuck do you want, Vox?! Can't you see I'm reviewing my latest film!
**Vox**: I have some- (his eyes moves to the miniplayer) Hey, is that your new whore?
**Valentino**: Hmph. (he sits back down) You got that right.
**Vox**: (grinning deviously) And what did the poor, helpless minx do to earn such a **terrible** fate?
**Valentino**: Spoke when not spoken to, arrived late to filming and, get this, she told me the red on my jacket didn't match the rage in my eyes!!!
**Vox**: (sarcastically) Ooh, how vile! (laughs and shrugs) Well, it's only fair. You gotta get your point across **some way**, and if your toys are unable to comprehend basic language and regulation, perhaps less agreeable options can be used for a demonstration to be made... (he grins evilly)
**Velvette**: (while typing notes) CAN WE GET SOMEONE WITH THOSE SPIKED DILDOS UP IN HERE?! MAKE IT SNAPPY!
**Valentino**: (to Velvette) I got my horniest guys on this job, they better be putting on a damn good show! But... The dildos could spice things up. (grins deviously)
**Vox**: How can you be so sure?
**Valentino**: What do you- (to an imp in the back) PAUSE THE FUCKIN' FILM!!! (an imp frantically pauses the snuff film, Valentino turns to Vox) What do you mean?
**Vox**: They're in the prototype stage. You don't wanna embarrass yourself in front of a disobedient whore, right? (seductively) Why not try it on a... more willing participant?
**Valentino**: Oh... you read my mind, Voxxy...
**Velvette**: (awkwardly shifting away) Yeeeeeeeah, I'm just gonna go and give you two some time alone... (awkwardly edges off)
**Valentino**: (he sighs, leaning back in his seat) Ok, what's the big story, Voxxy?
**Vox**: There's been some interesting developments with that Hazbin Hotel. Think about it, Val, one of your biggest, contractually obligated workers is in the good graces of one of our two biggest competitors. If we pull the right strings... Well, the possibilities are limitless.*"
— Vox, Valentino, and Velvette.

"***Valentino**: ALL WE NEEDED WAS MORE TIME! AND NWO THAT FUCKIN CLOW-
**Vox**: **Val**. (he manipulates the lights in the room so that they briefly shine on eyes of Lucifer along the walls, warning Valentino of the King of Hell's influence)
**Valentino**: (he sighs angrily and begins loading Moneyshot) All I'm sayin'... is that I had a scheme, long as my dick, that was ten fuckin' times better than 'war'.
**Vox**: (he duplicates himself and his duplicate fixes his clothes in a mirror) You know, babe, a little competition never hurt anyone. (his duplicate merges back into him and he seductively approaches Valentino) I look forward to seeing how they fare against our... (he begins touching Valentino's penis through his coat) special brand of hospitality.
**Valentino**: (he blushes a deep purple, looking flustered and scoffs) ...We're totally gonna cum right on what's left of that shitstain hellhole.
**Vox**: And I look forward to it. Let's make it a race. (he chuckles and begins exiting until he turns back to Valentino) And about the hotel's occupant, sans Alastor and Angel, of course... what should we do with the rest of them?
**Valentino**: (he looks at Vox like he's an idiot, speaking sarcastically) Well, considering we're leveling their joint, I'll help myself to some tea with the princess, play dolls with her lil' sidekick and, oh, yeah! FUCK EVERY SINGLE SON OF A BITCH I SEE!!!!! (he stomps out of the room)
**Tilly**: (she approaches Valentino with a tray) Your drink, Mistah Val- (Valentino grabs her by the waist and hurls her down a flight of stairs, all while still stomping down the hall)*"
— Vox and Valentino preparing for war

"*It's high time for us to deal with a major problem I've been facin' recently: a lack of respect. Of course, there used to be. But, nah, now everyone thinks it's fun to double-cross me, take my money, and blow me off! And NOT in the fun way. I've been poked at a lot these past weeks, and I feel like poking back. I've scratched your backs, supplied you with all the guns, blow, and whores you could want, asking for nothin' in return but your loyalty. Now, it's time for all of you to pay me back. Show these bitches why you don't fuck with me! A million dollars to whoever brings me Angel. Half a million to anyone who kills his friends.*"
— Valentino's speech to his men and the Pentagram City Police Department before launching his attack on the Hazbin Hotel.

"*Bambi's here... Go have some fun, Voxxy.*"
— Valentino alerting Vox as Alastor begins fighting back against the Vees' underlings.

"*(slams his fist on the hood of his limo, shattering the glass) USELESS BITCH!!! (loads his revolver) Never send a whore to do an Overlord's job.*"
— Valentino's reaction to Vox's defeat.

"***Valentino**: You just keep coming back for me, huh, baby?
**Angel Dust**: (Angel tries to run at Valentino, but gets restrained by Valentino's smoke trials) Ugh! LEAVE 'EM ALONE, VAL!! He didn't do anything to you!
**Valentino**: No... But YOU did. (Valentino pulls out a knife and picks up Fat Nuggets, who starts squealing and squirming)
**Angel Dust**: (Angel struggles with the smoke briefly before stopping when he sees Fat Nuggets) Val... I'm beggin' ya... I'm sorry 'fer everything I ever did. Just- Just put him down, okay? I swear, I'll come back to the studio, I'll do whatever ya want! (with tears in his eyes) Please don't do this, Val...
**Valentino**: (chuckles) Sorry, Angel Cakes, but Daddy's done. And now, you're gonna see what happens when you piss me off.*"
— Valentino to Angel Dust, before torturing Fat Nuggets to death.

"***Angel Dust**: **I'M GONNA FUCKIN' KILL YOU, YOU FUCKIN' BASTARD!!** (Angel pulls out his Tommy gun and aims it at Valentino)
**Valentino**: (laughs) Shut up and get to it, then!*"
— Valentino when held at gunpoint by Angel Dust.

"*Not so easy when you can't hide behind your friends, is it?*"
— Valentino mocking Angel while brutally beating him.

"*Sit tight, baby. Otherwise, we'll miss the fireworks. You love a good fireworks display, don't ya?*"
— Valentino to Cherri Bomb.

"*I tried to warn you, baby, but you didn't fuckin' listen. You just had to keep pissin' me off. Look where that got you. You think your pig was the worst I could do? You have no fuckin' idea what I'm capable of. I'll make you and your little pals regret the day we met. They'll beg for death to save them. (Angel Dust tries to fight back, only for Valentino to pin him against a wall) And I'm gonna keep you where no one will ever hear you scream for help! We're gonna have a helluva time!*"
— Valentino to Angel Dust while assaulting him.

"*Oh, you gotta be... **FUCKING** kidding me.*"
— Valentino before his defeat.

### Season 2

"***Vox**: Ugh! What is that smell? Oh, yeah. The big, fucking stench of failure!
**Valentino**: Ironic how, as a tiny cell phone, you still have the biggest mouth in all of Hell.
**Vox**: I wish I was in Heaven.
**Valentino**: I wish we never met.*"
— Valentino and Vox.

"***Vox**: Val! It's fucking chaos out there! The boss has vanished!
**Valentino**: What?! Where'd Luci go?
**Vox**: No idea. One minute he's all 'I'm gonna talk to an old friend of mine', and the next, poof. He's gone. I don't like it. There's something funny going on around here.
**Valentino**: Think he's dead? Did Angel's crew kill him? You been at his castle?
**Vox**: The whole place is on lockdown. Those royal guard bitches have every entrance secured. What are we gonna do now, buddy?
**Valentino**: Shit... Well, until he turns up, we're in charge of this fucking shithole. The public doesn't know about this yet. Act like nothing happened, got it?
**Vox**: Ha! I like the way you think.
**Valentino**: One thing's for sure, when Luci shows up, I don't even want to know how he's gonna react when he finds out that hotel is still standing...
**Velvette**: (pops up, smiling) You mean **if** he shows up!
**Valentino**: (smiles evilly) Yes, 'if'. If is good.*"
— Valentino, Vox, and Velvette discover that Lucifer has vanished.

### Season 3

"*Daddy's back, bitches.*"
— Valentino to Vaggie's team, after making a sudden appearance alongside Vox and Velvette.

"***Valentino**: (while strangling Angel Dust with one hand) Oh, Angel Baby... How I've missed you.
**Angel Dust**: (Angel chokes before spitting in Valentino's face) YOU FUCKIN' BASTARD! YOU KILLED MY-
**Valentino**: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I killed your pet. Big fuckin' deal! What is it with you whores? For fuck's sake, I killed **my** pet, and you don't see me bitchin' about it!*"
— Valentino and Angel Dust when they encounter each other in Purgatory.

"***Valentino**: (laughs) You dumb whore. You REALLY think you're somebody special, huh? Before me, you were some two-dollar twink piece of garbage with daddy issues! I could have left you on the streets, fighting rats for your next meal, but I took you in and made you a star. (he grabs Angel's chin) What do ya say to that? (Angel Dust spits in Valentino's face) Argh! (he backhands Angel) Fuckin' bitch!
**Angel Dust**: Fuck off with your bullshit, Val! My afterlife's a fuckin' joke becuz of you! I'd rather get erased befer I ever think of fuckin' work for you again! But that don't really matter, does it? 'Cuz you got 50 other poor sons of bitches all lined up and ready to go, you fuckin' snake!
**Valentino**: (licking his lips) Oh, baby, look how mad you're getting. (he smirks) See? This is what I love. And, may I say, you look fine as hell all tied up... (Valentino grabs Angel's face, covering his mouth while leaning in and sniffing him) So much sexual tension... I bet you really missed me, do ya? Now... say you love how I'm treating you.*"
— Valentino tormenting Angel Dust in his cell, while the latter was imprisoned by Lucifer.

"*You thought you could get away from me? (laughs) Oh, Angel. No matter where you go, or what you're doin', you will **never** get away from me.*"
— Valentino to Angel Dust.

"***Valentino**: (aims his revolver at Simon) Not laughin' now, huh, you little shit? (Amelia stands in front of Simon) Get the fuck outta the way! So I can kill your friend.
**Amelia**: Absolutely...
**Giulia**: (stands in front of Simon with Megara and Amelia) ...Over our dead bodies!
**Arthur**: (stands in front of Simon with Christopher) If you want to kill him...
**James**: ...You gotta go through us!
**Valentino**: (cocks his revolver) With **pleasure**.*"
— Valentino to Charlie's Angels, while attempting to kill Simon.

"***Angel Dust**: LEAVE 'EM ALONE, VAL!
**Valentino**: (laughs) Are you fuckin' serious, Angel Baby? You're gonna die for some brats you don't even know?
**Angel Dust**: I've known these kids for eight years now, and in all that time they've shown me more warmth and kindness then you eva did in **78**! So yeah, you bet your fuckin' ass I'm gonna die for 'em!*"
— Angel Dust stops Valentino from killing Charlie's Angels

"*(grunts in pain) Oooh, you got me good, baby... Let me pay you back.*"
— Valentino, seconds before shooting Angel Dust's lower arm off.

"*Oh... look what ya made me do, Angel. But, hey, at least you can be matchies with Fergus now. Hehehehahaha!!*"
— Valentino taunting Angel Dust after shooting one of his lower arms off.

"***Valentino**: Did ya get that outta your system? (chuckles) You see, Angel, even if you get away from me, I know you'll keep crawling back. You have **no one** and no place to go to. You're nothing but a cheap toy, and when you break, I'll just get a new one. So... Come back to me. 'Cuz I'm getting tired of asking...
**Angel Dust**: THEN GET THIS THROUGH YER FUCKIN' HEAD; I AIN'T EVA PUTTIN' UP WITH YER BULLSHIT AGAIN! (sighs sadly) ...Those days are long gone. That's how you got yer kicks, right? Hurtin' me? But that ain't happenin' no more, Val. (he drops his Tommy gun and grins sadly) Nuggets was my afterlife. When you killed him, you killed me, too. So, grow a fuckin' pair and finish the job.
**Valentino**: (smiles evilly and aims his revolver at Angel Dust, cackling) I love it, you know... I love the fight in ya. It's part of made ya so great on camera. (he sighs wistfully) In a way, all of it was just so cute, you tryin' to break free. We both should have known better. I shoulda known that fight was gonna run dry, and you shoulda known that no one's free in my business, baby. No one. You're just gonna blow your brains out at some point, and if anyone's gonna mess up that pretty face of yours, it had better be me. So... any last minute declarations of love, Angel? (laughs)
**Angel Dust**: (grins) Actually, now that I'm off the hook... How was it like bendin' over like a bitch fer Vox when ya first met 'im? We all know you were just usin' 'im fer money and sex. Just seems like a lotta trouble to get a glorified electro stim. (laughs)
**Valentino**: (his eye twitches) Fuck you, you stupid fuckin' whore! (Valentino pulls the trigger, but in the resulting flash, Angel is nowhere to be seen) What...?
**Angel Dust**: Up 'ere, shit heel.
**Valentino**: (he looks up to see Charlie's Angels all carrying Angel Dust, having flown him out of the way at high speed just before Valentino can pull the trigger) W- What the hell?!
**Arthur**: (he holds up Valentino's revolver that he snatched) Looking for this?
**Angel Dust**: (as Valentino fumes) EAT SHIT, YA OVERGROWN RAT BASTARD! (he laughs triumphantly, flipping Valentino with all of his hands as the angels fly him out of Baxter's base)*"
— Angel Dust and Valentino's confrontation in Purgatory.

### Season 5

"*Thanks for the soda, Libby. (he abruptly kicks Libby, knocking her out of his limoscene while it was still driving) Don't fuck up my order next time, 'kay? (he laughs and messily takes a bite of his hamburger)*"
— Valentino punishing one of his assistants for getting him the wrong WackDonald's beverage he requested.

"*Alright I need all you bitches with D cups or higher to stand over here, the rest of you grab a cucumber. It's time to show what your really made of... (points to one worker in disgust) Ew. Not you. You... you need to drop ten pounds before you even look at me. No eating for the next three months, got that? Now get outta here. Shoo, bitch.*"
— Valentino managing his workers.

"*Look, bitch, right now I'm somewhere between extremely hungry and extremely horny and that is not a place you want me to be if you wanna leave here in one piece.*"
— Valentino to Velvette's top model.

"***Valentino**: Look at that fucking slut! Strutting around and thinking he's ANYTHING without me! This is bullshit! (to Vox) You better tell your crew to double the false information. I'm NOT gonna be shown up by Angel, that hotel or that flat-chested bitch of an owner, the most USELESS demon in Hell!
**Vox**: (snickers; in a playful tone) Val, baby. You're forgetting crucial details againnn~
**Valentino**: What, Vox?
**Vox**. C'mon you're the leader, right? I'll give you time to think. I love watching those gears turn in your head.
**Valentino**: Stop playing around and spit it the out, fucktard!
**Vox**: The **soul contracts**, genius. Even if that worthless heir somehow manages to find a way to send souls to Heaven, Angel won't ever be able to get there as long as you own his soul. (he cozies up to Valentino) And, if I remember correctly, can't you use those contracts to torture his soul?
**Valentino**: (he grins deviously) Oh, FUCK yes! You know just how to tickle the Devil's ear, don't ya, Vox? (he begins kissing Vox passionately) Oh, I'm gonna fuck you HARD tonight. This is why I keep you around, Voxxy... That, and the free Wi-Fi.
**Vox**: Where would you be without me? (he finishes passionately kissing Valentino) Also, my company is finishing up those new shock collars. Y'know, the ones that can read people's thoughts and shocks them when they speak or so much as think out of line? I say we make Angel our guinea pig when he comes crawling back. He'll be like a docile pet to us. I'm sure we've both had PLENTY of time to think about what we want to do to him...
**Valentino**: Oh, you know it, sugar. (snickers evilly)*"
— Vox and Valentino scheming.

"***Vox**: When my Angel comes crawling back to us-
**Valentino**: **MY** Angel, Vox!
**Vox**: Oh, right, **your** Angel.
**Valentino**: Even after all of this shit, you seriously think you can still swipe my motherfucking property right out from under me?!
**Vox**: Quit being dramatic and get your head-
**Valentino**: Oh, I'm dramatic now? (he smacks Vox) How's that for dramatic, bitch?
**Vox**: (glaring) Val, you do **not**-
**Valentino**: (he shoves Vox) Keep your fuckin' mouth shut! When Angel comes crawling back to us and I see you so much as look at him, you'll be fuckin' sorry! HE BELONGS TO **ME**! **THEY ALL BELONG TO FUCKING ME**! (he goes to punch Vox) I'M THE ONE IN CONTRO-
**Vox**: (just before Val could hit him, he uses electrokinesis to completely paralyze Valentino, freezing him in place) Hehehe... You wanna finish that sentence, Val? (Valentino struggles to speak, but is unable to as Vox circles him like a shark) What's wrong? Oh-ho-ho-ho... Please don't tell me I've spent so long giving you the illusion of control that you actually started to believe you had any? (cackles) That's... Pretty fucking sad. I say it's high time I remind you of your place, no?
**Velvette**: (she walks into the room on her cellphone) Voxxy, 'Tech Deck' is a certified BANGER!!! Been tending on the top charts for four weeks strai- (she notices what is happening) Val?! Voxxy... (she laughs nervously before frowning) What's going on here...?
**Vox**: (to Velvette) Just a rotation in power, Vel. Do me a solid and tell Val's staff that they answer to me. (he approaches Velvett menacingly, surrounded by electricity) This is **my** show now.
**Velvette**: Uh... A- Are ya sure about that? I don't think Val would vibe with-
**Vox**: (he fires at lightning bolt at Velvette that just barely misses her head ) **Don't make me repeat myself**. (Velvette immediately runs off as Vox turns to Valentino) Welcome back to reality, babe... **Hehehehe-HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!***"
— Valentino is betrayed by Vox.

"***Valentino**: What are you two cuties doin' out here, alll alone in the big, scary city, hmmm~?
**Crymini**: (protectively puts herself in between Valentino and Octavia) We know your game, prick. (flips him off) Go deepthroat a cactus.
**Valentino**: Awwww, whaaat? Am I not your type? (laughs) How cute. You're feisty, I see, and that makes you all the more appealing to me~*"
— Valentino harrases Crymini and Octavia.

### Quotes Pertaining to Valentino

"***Angel Dust**: He promised me fame, money, drugs, anythin' I could want. It sounded like a dream come true. I was a starry-eyed newb at that point, and pretty down on my luck, so, naturally, I said yes. Then he took me to Porn Studios. It was a warehouse at the time, Val hadn't bought it yet. After I signed the agreement, he gave me some blow and...
**Charlie**: You mean...
**Angel Dust**: I mean he raped me, for hours. While his fuckin' friends watched, and laughed, and threw money at me. Val's a fuckin' monster. He ruined my afterlife. It's what he does best; ruinin' people's lives. He treated me like a slave for 70 years, kept me on a leash like I was just some fuckin' pet... I couldn't say it then... But I hated that son of a bitch so fuckin' much.*"
— Angel Dust opens up to Charlie about his years with Valentino.

## Trivia
