Blitzø

**Blitzø Buckzo** (first name pronounced **Blitz**), formerly **Blitzo**, is a major antagonist-turned-supporting protagonist in the *Divine Comedy*.

Hailing from the Greed Circle, Blitzø is an ambitious imp demon and the founder and manager of the Immediate Murder Professionals (I.M.P), an assassination business based in Imp City that specializes in murdering humans on Earth. He is an abrasive, crude, seemingly egotistical, but, in reality, self-doubting boss who seeks to prove that imps are just as capable of other demons.

## History

### Background

Blitzø was born in Greed and was part of a traveling circus based in the Circle along with his father, a mother, twin sister named Barbie Wire, and his best friend Fizzarolli thus, he spent most of his life at said circus. Blitzø, like most other imps in his position, did not have an easy life and would only find comfort in making others laugh while finding a kindred spirit in his best friend Fizzarolli.

Blitzø did not enjoy the circus life and longed for something more, wanting to be free to express his true capabilities and go beyond just the norm of what a regular imp can do, a dream he shared with Fizz. Blitzø and Fizz dreamed of starting their own successful, imp-ran business so that they could prove together that imps were just as capable as other demons. Blitzø was also an infamous troublemaker among the circus family as he would constantly prank the townsfolk even during performances on-stage. He would also sneak out with Fizz to visit Loo Loo World and attend Baphomet's concerts.

### Fallout with Fizz

However, at some point in their teen years, Blitzø and Fizzarolli had a falling out as a result of the former leaving Blitzø to go work for Mammon, as the emperor of Greed was impressed with his ability to draw in the crowd with his charm and abilities. Their falling out was the result of Fizz becoming increasingly arrogant, egotistical, and consumed by greed during his days of working at the Alloyed Brick in Las Mintos, solely focusing on his time at the Brick and not bothering to spend time with Blitzø nor even contact him.

One day, Blitzø confronted his friend on his behavior in an attempt to stop him from doing something he would regret, but Fizzarolli would not budge. In addition, Fizzarolli exclaimed to Blitzø that he is finally free to fully express and unleash his talents to people who live for this entertainment and that he is no longer confined to one place but can now rake in all the power he needs to see places he never thought he could see. Fizzarolli even offered to put in a good word for him to Mammon though Blitzø declined as he will instead focus on the dream that Fizzarolli abandoned.

Despite his attempts, Blitzø continuously struggled and failed to get his dream operation going, being viciously mocked for his beliefs that imps could accomplish anything. Out of desperation and frustration, he decided to take away some of Fizzarolli's success and use it to build his own as he grew tired of always being "second best" and in the background. During one fateful night, Blitzø snuck in the Alloyed Brick during Fizzarolli's performance and opted to steal the growing collection of cash from the safe so as to aid him in gathering enough finances to build his dream. As he began to take the money, he was found and discovered by Fizzarolli and the two engaged in a brutally emotional tussel. Their fight attracted the attention of a group of green imps who made their way to the source only to find Fizzarolli on the ground gaining his senses, surrounded by money, and Blitzø gone. Unbeknownst to Blitzø, Fizzarolli took the blame for his former friend's actions and was dismembered, then left for dead by Mammon's green imp goons on the emperor's orders, which led to Fizzarolli developing a deep hatred against Blitzø for supposedly leaving him to die.

### Founding I.M.P

Blitzø continued his solo act throughout the Greed Circle, trying to get by and resorting to stealing from large institutions in Greed in order to attain the necessary resources to build his company. However, it grew harder and more dangerous the more Blitzø sunk into these situations, to where at one point he stole the treasures guarded by the green imps not knowing that they marked their treasures. This led the green imps to his home where his mother was located as Blitzø was also trying to pay off his mother's debt only to seal her fate. This event destroyed whatever was left of Blitzø's ties with the remainder of his family like his sister who utterly disowned him for getting their mother killed. To add salt in the wound, the green imps managed to capture him and make an example of him by burning the right side of his face, leaving white scars there for stealing from their treasury.

Seeing the growing danger that looms over him, Blitzø decided to leave the Greed Circle with whatever was left of his spoils, even changing his name to simply 'Blitz' with the 'o' being silent. Blitzø would begin to lay low, later would be enlisted as a bodyguard for the succubus Verosika Mayday, an up-and-coming pop star in Hell. Eventually, the two even started dating, with Verosika risking her rising fame to date an imp she genuinely loved. Unfortunately, Blitzø projected the trauma and insecurities of his past on Verosika, treating her very cruelly out of resentment for her being far more talented and admired than he was, as well as out of his belief that he was only playing second fiddle to her. One day, Blitzø "rode off into the sunset" on horseback as a way of abandoning Verosika, which left her heartbroken and deeply embittered towards the imp, sending her spiraling into an alcohol addiction to cope with what Blitzø did for her.

After this incident, Blitzø would need a bodyguard of his own, and went to the Hellhound Adoption Centre to see if there is a Hellhound good enough to fit the job. He seemingly found one, a female Hellhound named Loona who was a delinquent and wrathful beast despite her young age at the time. Instead of apathy, Blitzø felt genuine pity towards the young hound and opted to adopt her as his daughter instead of a bodyguard. Though very rocky at first, Blitzø made progress when he told Loona if she wants to "fuck shit up" in one of Mammon's casinos which she eagerly accepted. From there, Blitzø killed a demon that cheated him out of a poker game, raising chaos inside the casino alongside Loona. They also met their future partners Moxxie and Millie who were celebrating their second wedding anniversary only to get entangled in Blitzø's mess, fighting their way out of the casino together. Impressed by their skills and talent, Blitzø recruited them for his future business endeavours revolving around I.M.P..
