"*I CANNOT HELP BEING LAZY. IT IS WHO I AM.*"
— Belphegor.

**Great King Belphegor of Sloth**, later revived as **BEL-666**, is a major antagonist in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

He serves as a mentioned character in Season 1, a referenced character in Season 2, a minor antagonist in Seasons 3 and 5, and the secondary antagonist of Season 4.

He was a languorous, yet immensely intelligent fallen angel-turned-A.I. who reigned as the incompetent, but innovative, ruler of the technologically advanced Sloth Ring, and was one of the founding members of the Seven Deadly Sins circus troupe. He was the genius CEO, namesake, and founder of *Belphe-Tech* and owner of the Hellhound Adoption Foundation, building advanced technology to make the lives of his denizens more automated. A pharmaceutical magnate, he also manufactured drugs to keep his denizens in a constant state of indolence and depression. He was accompanied by his company's neural network, Karen, who he also created. He was also the archenemy of Baxter.

## Biography

### Background

Before the fall of Lucifer, Belphegor was once one of Heaven's most important renowned inventors, widely known for his genius-level intelligence and technological advances. However, he was also detested by his peers for his selfishness, as he only created inventions to benefit himself rather than share them with humanity.

Belphegor was soon confronted by Archangel Gabriel, the embodiment of Diligence, and the older generation of the C.H.E.R.U.B for his selfishness. The cherubs and Gabriel warned him that there were many unfortunate humans (namely amputees or the disabled) who could benefit from his inventions, and that it wouldn't kill him to show kindness and charity towards humanity. Belphegor famously and humorously fell asleep in the middle of their lecture and, after being woken by a cherub, continued to work on his inventions without giving them any kind of real response.

Shortly after the War in Heaven, Belphegor was exiled from the sacred dimension not because he joined Lucifer, but because he did not care about the war and did nothing to help Heaven heal and rebuild from the destructive conflict.

Following his exile, Belphegor encountered the fallen angel Lucifer, as well as the demons Beelzebub, Leviathan, Asmodeus, and Mammon. He forged an alliance with them, and together they founded the demonic realm of Hell, using it to dazzle their subjects as a circus troupe, with Belphegor serving as the troupe's animal tamer. Due to creative differences, the Sins would end up having a bitter falling out, resulting in them vying for control over Hell. When the dust cleared, Belphegor reigned as the King of the Sloth Ring.

Having thought about his expulsion from Heaven and his years as an animal trainer, Belphegor considered the practical uses of sharing his inventions with everyone else, not to help others, but to encourage inactivity and laziness. Under Belphegor's reign, Sloth became a ring for luxury and convenience, as well as the most futuristic and technologically advanced of the seven rings. Through his newly founded company *Belphe-Tech*, he invented millions of sentient artificial intelligence and other electronics which were created to cater to the every whim of the denizens of Sloth as a way to make his subjects depend on them for everything, and required all of his subjects (excluding Hellhounds) to use hoverchairs instead of walking. He also mass marketed his technology and weapons all across Hell, resulting in him accumulating immense wealth, which allowed him to upgrade his inventions to become more advanced and intelligent while keeping his best inventions to himself along the way.

Shortly after assuming control over Sloth and transforming it into an automated utopia, Belphegor began to focus his attention on the Hellhounds prevalent in the Sloth Ring. Due to his extremely low opinion of them, Belphegor enacted many laws to oppress Hellhounds specifically, such a requiring all Hellhounds to wear shock collars that electrocuted them whenever they got too excited or agitated. Using his resources, Belphegor would go on to create a system where all Slothborn pups (infant or adolescent Hellhounds) would be raised as slaves or pets from a very young age, creating the Hellhound Adoption Foundation, a Hell-wide operation dedicated to raising orphaned pups into effective slaves or pets using cruel and oppressive methods until they could be sold to new masters. These laws enacted by Belphegor led him to be universally despised by Hellhounds.

Shortly before the present events of the series, Belphegor, tired of dealing with the stress that came with ruling an entire planet-sized nation, used a complex process and agglomerate of machines for digitalize his soul and transfer it into a bionic vessel, losing all of his physical powers in favor of never experiencing stress again.

### Events of *Helluva Boss*

Despite not making a physical appearance, Belphegor is referenced in the episode "Ozzie's", where his signature can be seen on Loona adoption papers while Blitzø was looking through old photos on his Hellphone, revealing that Belphegor owned Loona before Blitzø adopted her.

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

#### Season 3

In the Season 3 finale "Despite Everything, It's Still You", Belphegor, in hologram form, attends a meeting at Lucifer's castle with the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins to discuss Charlie Magne bringing eight angels into Hell. As Belphegor had been running late, Mammon expressed anger for the King of Sloth's lack of urgency. Belphegor's hologram drone finally arrived at the meeting, before Lucifer himself had, which surprised everyone. Upon the drone projecting his image, he was promptly greeted by Asmodeus, who complimented Belphegor on his recent upgrade, disregarding the negative reception said upgrade had received. Lucifer himself then arrived, and Beelzebub made a bet that Belphegor would sleep through the entire meeting, to which Belphegor responded that it was in his nature to be lazy, as the entity representing Sloth. Belphegor appeared to have fallen asleep halfway through the meeting out of boredom, and had little reaction when Lucifer revealed the presence of Manco and seven other angels within Hell, although he did express interest in using the angels as "test subjects".

#### Season 4

In "Dinner and a Show", Belphegor returns to his fortress after inspecting various *Belphe-Tech* factories. Upon entering, he was greeted by Karen, who inquired how Belphegor's visit had gone. Belphegor replied that his visit was "adequate", before becoming lost in thought. When Karen detected stress in Belphegor's speech patterns, the King of Sloth revealed to her the presence of Charlie's Angels. When Karen attempted to move Belphegor to a saferoom, Belphegor informed his creation that the angels were only children, and therefor that makes them vulnerable. He informed Karen that he wishes to study and experiment on Charlie's Angels to harness and exploit their angelic power, and ordered her to send *Belphe-Tech* Scavenger Units throughout Hell to track them down. Karen does as she is told, but objected when Belphegor ordered her to send units 96283 (Lugnut) and TR-34856 (Claptrap), noting their incompetence. Belphegor told Karen that the two robots were currently in the Pride Ring, where the angels were, and admonished Karen to not question him again. Karen begrudgingly told Belphegor that she would inform them of his orders. The King of Sloth then ordered Karen to turn on the building's sound systems and ready his sleeping chambers, and Karen complied by playing "Fuck the Police" by Verosika Mayday.

In "Take Me, Gravity", one of Belphegor's Scavenger Units spread throughout Hell manages to spot Charlie's Angels, to which Karen alerted Belphegor himself of the news. Belphegor himself was in his private quarters headbanging to Verosika Mayday's music, only to be interrupted by Karen, who is amused by Belphegor's affinity for the pop star. Embarrassed and angered, Belphegor changed the subject while claiming to be working on new inventions, reminding Karen to reveal that their Scavenger Units had located Charlie's Angels, instantly catching Belphegor's attention.

The King of Sloth then entered a control room and ordered Karen to send every scavenger unit in Pride to their location. Lugnut and Claptrap (who have secretly defected from Belphegor after befriending the children), detect the Scavenger Units' approaching presence and promptly hide with the children to avoid detection. Determined to protect Charlie's Angels, Lugnut and Claptrap decide to distract the Scavenger Units so that the children can stealthily make their way to the Hazbin Hotel. Despite Amelia and Manco's protests, Lugnut and Claptrap split from the children and begin making noise, hiding the whole time to avoid being seen by Belphegor himself, who is watching the event through the Scavenger Units' lenses. While the plan initially goes without a hitch, Simon unintentionally alerts one of the scavenger robots when he and the other angels climbed into a dilapidated store. The robot spots them through the window and enters the shop as they split up and hide throughout the store. As Belphegor taunts Charlie's Angels to show themselves, Arthur throws a nearby ball into a window, leading the scavenger unit away from them.

The children regroup and begin crawling through the building's ventilation system, with the robot returning and pursuing them through the vent, contorting its body to squeeze through, which leads to the vent collapsing. As the children frantically run out of the shop and the Scavenger Units pursue, Belphegor stops one unit and orders it to search for his favorite potato chips. However, the store does not have his favorite snacks in stock, which angers Belphegor, who activates the units internal self-destruct system to destroy the store and the unit out of spite.

Meanwhile, Charlie's Angels run a block away from the store and stop to catch their breaths, but they are given no reprieve as the Scavenger Units appears from out of nowhere, roaring robotically at them, scaring them and sending them scattering. The scavenger unit gives chase to the terrified children as they run for their lives, attempting to use obstacles to slow the robot down. At one point, the scavenger unit manages to grab Simon, only to be sent flying back by the involuntary defenses of Simon's angelic nature. After a lengthy chase, the scavenger unit manages to corner the children, only for Lugnut and Claptrap to destroy it from behind. Belphegor orders the Scavenger Units to report to the location of the fallen unit, but by the time the other units reach it, Lugnut, Claptrap, and Charlie's Angels make it into the hotel for safety.

Angered as the children had slipped through his fingers, Belphegor orders Karen to send every deployed scavenger unit to the Pride Ring, before storming off to take a nap. Karen does as she is told and, out of options, begins browsing the lenses of the deployed units, before halting as she spots Charlie's Angels through Lugnut's lenses. Realizing the angels are with Lugnut and Claptrap, Karen begins tracing the robots' location with a devious smile.

In "Shield of Hate", Lugnut reveals to Charlie's Angels that he was once a Slothborn demon who worked at *Belphe-Tech* until Belphegor converted him into a robot for not working as hard as the King of Sloth had wished. When he and Lugnut previously disappointed Belphegor, Karen punished them by activating the bombs in all of the friends they had made at *Belphe-Tech* and scrapping their remains. Karen then converted the scrapped remains of their friends into robotic plating that she had implanted on Lugnut and Claptrap as a permanent reminder of their failure. Saddened by his story, the angels comfort Lugnut by saying that he and Claptrap do not have to return to the Sloth Ring and can be a member of their "family". Touched by their kindness, Lugnut lamented that he wished he could remember how to cry, as the children, followed by Claptrap, lovingly embrace him.

In "Suppression of Lust", Belphegor is watching television in his home theater when Karen enters the theater room using the body of one of her henchmen. She attempts to coax Belphegor into having fun with her in a clear attempt to rekindle the fun that they used to have back when he was programming her, but the King of Sloth is only interested in Charlie's Angels and acts dismissive towards her. When Karen insists that Belphegor forget about the angels for a moment and begins reminiscing on the past, he dismissively and stoically tells her that what happened in the past is irrelevant and her recollections of their time together would never bring them back. Unbeknownst to the King of Sloth, a saddened Karen briefly considers showing her master a video of Lugnut and Claptrap with Charlie's Angels to expose the two for their betrayal, only to back out at the last moment, solemnly telling her master to enjoy his programming before vanishing from the screen of her minion, leaving the King of Sloth alone to watch his programming.

In "Retribution", Karen manages to capture Charlie's Angels and seemingly sends Lugnut and Claptrap to their doom by summoning a tractor beam that sent them to a Belphe-Tech scrapping factory. When a Karen Unit attempted to remind its master that Belphegor had wanted Lugnut and Claptrap operational, Karen silenced the mercenary and said that Belphegor would not care about Lugnut and Claptrap's fates when he saw that Karen captured Charlie's Angels. Karen and her mercenaries then returned to Belphegor's base with the captured children.

In "System Reboot", Belphegor arrives to a detention room where the captured children and Karen are Karen falsely told the King of Sloth that she found the children all by herself and that they had destroyed Lugnut and Claptrap. Belphegor expressed very little reaction to Lugnut and Claptrap's assumed destruction and ordered Karen to prepare the children for their operation.

Hours later, Belphegor went to his private overlooking quarters to oversee the experimentation, ordering his servants to get his favorite snacks along the way. After the children are secured and the holy equipment is ready, Belphegor gave the medical droids the signal, and in response they equipped their holy surgical equipment and prepared to dissect the children. The terrified children accepted their fates and all held hands and huddled close to another, burying their faces in each other's shoulders. However, just before the experiment could begin, Lugnut and Claptrap break into the facility via the ventilation system and take out the medical droids, freeing the children as Belphegor and Karen stood in disbelief. As the King of Sloth watched in silence, Karen completely lost her composure and went on a childish swearing tirade, cursing Lugnut and Claptrap and threatening to kill them for their defiance. Karen attempted to activate Lugnut and Claptrap's internal self-destruct systems, but the bombs had been shorted out weeks prior when the two robots were electrocuted by the angels' protective aura when they initially tried to capture them.

Belphegor then confronted Karen on her previously telling him that Lugnut and Claptrap had been destroyed. Karen breaks under pressure and told him the truth about Lugnut and Claptrap's insubordination. As Karen braced to be reprimanded, Belphegor, in an arrogant manner, expressed his gratitude for Karen's initiative for attempting to destroy Lugnut and Claptrap and claimed that she truly was a model of his intelligence. Interpreting this as a complement, Karen blushed and thanked the King of Sloth for his words, thinking she finally gained his full favor.

Meanwhile, Lugnut and Claptrap were attempting to lead the children through an underground tunnel to get them to safety. As Karen alerted all of Belphe-Tech's combat droids to their location, Belphegor sent his Scavenger Units to the tunnel system where they cornered Lugnut, Claptrap, and Charlie's Angels. After Karen finished taunting Lugnut and Claptrap, one of the King of Sloth's servants alerted his master that an unidentified flying object had entered Sloth and was heading towards Belphegor's facility. The aircraft turned out to be the spaceship of Baxter, who Lugnut and Claptrap had alerted of the childrens' status. With Crymini piloting the ship and Niffty in control of the ships weapon system, Baxter left to aide Lugnut and Claptrap in escaping. After Karen sent an army of Scavenger Units made from nanotechnology to deal with Baxter's crew, Belphegor again complimented Karen on her intelligence and forethought, causing her to smile.

Down in the tunnel system, Lugnut, Claptrap, and Charlie's Angels all cower from Belphe-Tech's advancing forces. Claptrap then shouts that he has an idea; noting that Karen is powering all of the enemy forces, he mentions that they could destroy Karen's servers using PLUTO, a sophisticated missile-launching system. Claptrap leaves to go hack into PLUTO so he could send its code to Baxter and Crymini, but Lugnut told Claptrap that he could be destroyed if he tried to do that. Claptrap says he is aware of what will happen and expressed his gratitude to have been friends with Lugnut and the children. With his mind, made up Charlie's Angels hug Claptrap one last time before he rushes off in the opposite direction, distracting the enemy forces as Lugnut and Charlie's Angels continue running.

Meanwhile, Baxter and Crymini are fighting droves of Belphegor's forces, with Baxter using his inventions and Crymini giving him ariel assistance in the spaceship. Niffty finds it difficult to control the weapons of Baxter's ship, but when Crymini told her to imagine that the robots were stains or cobwebs, Niffty viciously and excitedly began obliterating them. Baxter manages to hack into several of the enemy robots so he could break into the facility, even manipulating some of Belphegor's robots to fight against their own teammates, which earns him the King of Sloth's attention. Belphegor intently watched Baxter on a security system before using a PA system to express his respect of Baxter's intelligence. However, he menacingly assures Baxter that, even with his intelligence, he will not win. Belphegor then reveals that he plans on turning Baxter and Crymini into robot slaves as he admired their intelligence and desired them as his servants.

Back with Claptrap, he succeeds in making it to PLUTO's underground mainframe, but Karen tracks him inside and beams several of her mercenaries into the room to stop him. Claptrap manages to grab one of their blaster rifles and fights most of them off, sustaining heavy damage along the way. Thinking all of the mercenaries were dealt with, a damaged Claptrap began sending the codes to Baxter, but before they could be fully sent, Karen hacked into the body of a mercenary and uses its rifle to shoot Claptrap three times while his back was turned. Before Karen could deal the final destroying blow, Baxter and Crymini's escalating battle with Belphegor's robots causes a massive explosion that causes parts of the ceiling of the underground facility to crumble, causing large piece of debris to crush the mercenary Karen was manipulating. After PLUTO codes were finally transferred to Baxter and Crymini, Claptrap used his wrist to project a hologram of his memories of his time with Lugnut and the children, fondly remembering his time with them as he succumbs to the damages he sustained and shuts down.

Thanks to Claptrap, Crymini finally gains access to PLUTO and is informed by Baxter to destroy Karen's servers around the Sloth Ring. Crymini and Niffty each take control of PLUTO, using its missiles to destroy Karen's servers. The destruction of the servers severely affects Karen's functionality as she begins to lose influence and control with each destroyed server. With only one server left to destroy, Karen, knowing her end is near, emotionally says her goodbyes to her creator, requesting that he build a giant statue to honor her once the children have been experimented on and *Belphe-Tech* ruled the Universe. After Karen's final server is destroyed, she tells Belphegor to remember her and that she will miss him as she meets her end and goes offline.

Following Karen's destruction, all of the units hunting Lugnut and the children deactivate, giving them some reprieve. Belphegor, remained alone, angrily told Baxter that Karen was the ultimate model to his intelligence and, although he can rebuild her, Baxter had inconvenienced him for the last time. Crymini targeted Belphegor's facility with PLUTO and fires a missile at him, but he activates the tower's defense systems, and the building's mounted energy cannons blast PLUTO's missiles before they can hit the King of Sloth. The explosion causes a massive shockwave that causes the tunnel Lugnut and the children were in to collapse. James, Megara, and Lugnut become trapped under the rubble. Lugnut manages to lift the rubble above himself, although weakened from his injuries while fighting off Belphegor's forces, but the two children found themselves trapped and struggling to breathe. Lugnut and Charlie's Angels then saved them from being crushed. Amelia shouted at Lugnut to keep running with them, but he has sustained too much damage and tells the angels to leave without him, struggling to lift the rubble above him. Despite the children begging him to keep going, Lugnut insisted that they leave and return to safety. Despite their reluctance, Charlie's Angels continue running off, except for Megara, who tearfully kisses Lugnut's forehead before escaping with the other angels. Shortly after the children left, Lugnut was then crushed by the debris he was lifting.

Now left on his own, Belphegor retakes control of PLUTO and targets the Hazbin Hotel with a missile strike, preparing to destroy it and all within to punish Baxter for his defiance. Baxter ordered Crymini and Niffty to take the spaceship and go pick the children up from their location, which they left to do. As Baxter found himself locked out of Belphegor's tower, he scanned the area and found an array of EMP bombs belonging to one of Belphegor's combat droids. Baxter then analyzed that he himself could not make it to Belphegor at the top of his facility, as the King of Sloth was being protected by an automatic drone system that would fire at anything that entered the room, besides Belphegor himself. Based on this, Baxter then devised a plan as he taped all of the EMP bombs together and propelled himself to the highest window of Belphegor's facility by placing a bomb on a car door and standing on said car door. He was then propelled to the top of the King of Sloth's tower and threw the tampered EMB bombs at Belphegor's direction as he reached the window. At the last moment, Belphegor saw the bombs coming in his direction and could do nothing as his turrets shot at the bombs faster than he could call them off, causing a massive explosion that instantly destroyed the drones and imprisoned him in flames. Undone by his own desire to advance himself, the massive EMP blast left the King of Sloth's bionic body extremely damaged before he completely exploded along with the entire top of the tower, ending his life and leaving the Sloth Ring without a ruler.

In the Season 4 finale "It's Never Too Late", the remaining members of the Seven Deadly Sins hold a meeting following the deaths of Belphegor and Leviathan and the repercussions of their deaths. While Asmodeus is mildly upset about Belphegor's death, Mammon, Lucifer, and Beelzebub agree that Belphegor was a "prick", with Lucifer saying that he only granted Belphegor his position not because he earned it, but because he embodied it the most, and the other Sins are all too happy to forget about him.

Following Belphegor's destruction, Baxter found himself falling from the tower, and, with seemingly nothing to save himself, accepted his fate. However, before he could hit the ground, Crymini caught him mid-air using his spaceship, saving him from a non-definitive death. Baxter returned inside the ship where he is happily greeted by Charlie's Angels and Niffty. With the children saved, Baxter ordered Crymini to drive the ship to the Envy Ring, where the rest of the hotel crew were.

#### Season 5

With both Belphegor and Karen destroyed, the Sloth Ring spiraled into chaos and anarchy without a ruler, and without the latter to power *Belphe-Tech's* artificial intelligence, the denizens of Sloth were left in a confused panic as all they've ever known is being catered to. Still, due to Karen's destruction and *Belphe-Tech's* network going offline, all Hellhound shock collars made by the company had been deactivated, which allowed the oppressed Hellhounds in the Sloth Rings to finally revolt and fight back against their persecutors, taking back the ring that was stolen from them.

In "System Reboot 2 Electric Boogaloo", Blitzø and Loona travel to Sloth to enlist the Hellhound resistance's help in saving Moxxie and Millie from Azazel. While Loona hangs out with Vortex, they are surprised to find Baxter rummaging through a dumpster to scavenge resources from destroyed Scavenger Units. When they ask Baxter how he is in the Sloth Ring despite being a sinner, Baxter claims that he combined magic and science to create an illegal way for sinners to cross into other rings (which gave him a new-found respect for magic along the way). While throwing parts of the Scavenger Units into his ship, Baxter accidentally activates a beacon that causes a new type of Scavenger Unit to swarm them in the alleyway. Despite their attempts to escape, Blitzø and Baxter are both captured by the unit.

Blitzø awakes to find himself and Baxter imprisoned in giant glass tubes in an underground facility. They are then greeted by none other than Belphegor, who has "upgraded" to a Hal-9000 type form. Baxter, understandably confused, asks Belphegor how he is still functioning, to which Belphegor reveals that, as a contingency plan in case his robotic body was ever destroyed, he found a way to duplicate and digitally upload his consciousness into thousands of backup servers in the very facility that they are in now. Belphegor then uses security footage to bitterly look at the burgeoning Hellhound society in the Sloth, cursing them for sending his ring back to the "stone age". Belphegor tells his captives that his new Scavenger Units have installed seismic generators throughout the Sloth Ring and that they have been capturing Hellhounds throughout the past month and bringing them back to the facility to be converted into cybernetic slaves. He unveils his new Hellhound army (consisting of Hellhounds with neural implants in their heads), planning to unleash them on the Hellhound resistance to massacre anyone who opposes him, and use the seismic generators to annihilate the Sloth Ring and all of its organic life so that he can rebuild it into a completely technological dystopia teeming with robots who will have no choice but to obey him.

While Belphegor is busy monologuing, Baxter uses one of his devices to remote-hack one of the Scavenger Units, forcing it to release him from his prison. When one of Belphegor's machines interrupts his speech to try and tell him that Baxter is escaping, Belphegor detonates the unit's internal bomb system, destroying it before returning to his speech. Once Belphegor finishes with a monotonous evil laugh, Blitzø sarcastically gives his speech a 10/10 before telling him that Baxter wasn't a big fan of it. Belphegor finally realizes that Baxter had escaped and orders his Scavenger Units to find the scientist. He tells his medical units to enslave Blitzø by surgically implanting a neural device in his head, and expresses his eagerness to vivisect Baxter's brain once he finds him. Belphegor then orders his robotic servants to bring him the latest flavor of Ice Scream so that he can digitize and consume it.

Meanwhile, Baxter is stealthily crawling throughout the facility, avoiding the patrolling Scavenger Units along the way. After travelling through the building's ventilations system, Baxter finds himself in the very room Belphegor had first conceived Karen. After reading through Belphegor's codes and using his leftover technology, Baxter manages to create another Karen, though this one lacks the memories of the previous Karen. Baxter uses this to his advantage, claiming that he invented her and telling her that she can control the Sloth Ring's technology. Karen 2.O, happy to assist her "creator", asks Baxter what he would like her to do.

Meanwhile, Blitzø begins panicking as the medical droids ready the surgical equipment to enslave him. He tries bargaining with them, offering his freedom for sex, and desperately whistling for Loona to save him. Just before the droids could cut into Blitzø's head, Baxter drops an EMP bomb into the room from the vents, destroying the droids. Baxter then frees Blitzø from his binds. Baxter and Blitzø then run for the facility's exit, but are quickly swarmed by hundreds of Scavenger Units as well as the enslaved Hellhound army, who block the exit. Belphegor then appears and gloats to the duo over his presumed victory. Just as things seem bleak, unexpected reinforcements arrive; the Hellhound resistance, including Loona and Vortex, blast their way into the facility and fight alongside Baxter and Blitzø against the enslaved Hellhounds and Scavenger Units. When Blitzø asks his daughter how she knew where he was, she simply says that she had heard his whistling.

Though the Hellhound resistance initially dominates the battle, Belphegor takes control of the facility's defense system, deploying futuristic turrets, explosives, and lasers to kill dozens of the Hellhounds and send most of them ducking for cover. Blitzø is nearly killed by an explosive until Loona gets him out of harm's way. Driven to tears, Blitzø tries to thank Loona, but she tells him to shut up and knocks down several Scavenger Units by throwing Blitzø at them. As Belphegor's forces begin restraining or killing the Hellhounds, Baxter finally reveals his trump card and brings Karen 2.O to full power, allowing her to control the entire Sloth Ring once again and take control of the Scavenger Units.

After Karen 2.O appears, Belphegor tries to order her around and get her to remember him, but is devastated and even saddened to find out that she does not remember him at all. After Karen 2.O permanently deactivates Belphegor's seismic generators, the former King of Sloth tries to override Karen's control, but Baxter uses a remote-hacking device to display a meme video Simon had showed him earlier. Belphegor is awestruck by the video and watches it intently, allowing Baxter to forward a virus code to Karen 2.O which she uploads into Belphegor, allowing her to take control of the facility and erase him. As the Hellhound resistance fight against the enslaved Hellhounds, Belphegor revives himself in the body of a fallen Scavenger and gloats that he cannot be defeated thanks to his thousands back-up servers. As his number of allies dwindle, Belphegor sets the facility to self-destruct and takes control a dozen self-driving trucks containing all of his cloud servers, sending the trucks out of the facility while leaving all of his enemies to die in the explosion.

Belphegor gloats that they will all die in the facility, including his current body, but that he will live through his backup servers and return more powerful than ever. On cue, Crymini and Squish arrive in Baxter's spaceship, using the ships' offensive artillery to destroy the trucks along with all of Belphegor's backup servers. Belphegor, realizing he is finally restricted to one body and royally screwed, tries to leave the base, but is partially crushed and pinned by debris as the facility begins collapsing around them. As the allies begins running out of the base, Vortex desperately tries to save the Hellhounds enslaved by Belphegor, but they remain under his control and try to attack him when he tries to talk through to them. Loona comes to Vortex's aid and tells him that they can't be saved either way. Vortex bows his head and, with no choice, reluctantly leaves the enslaved Hellhounds behind. Belphegor's final defeat is preceded by a joke (of course), when he claims that if he has any regrets, it's that he doesn't have any digitized potato chips to eat. The facility then violently explodes, destroying Belphegor and the enslaved Hellhounds once and for all.

## Personality

"*Why is Belphegor always fucking sleeping?!*"
— Mammon about Belphegor when the latter was running late for a meeting.

"***Amelia**: He made those things?!
**Lugnut**: Just because he's lazy doesn't mean his mind is!*"
— Amelia and Lugnut, while hiding from Belphegor's Scavenger Units who were sent to capture Charlie's Angels.

Belphegor was characterized by apathy, indolence, and egotism. He possessed a passionate hatred for free will, and believed that all lifeforms in the Universe should depend on technology to carry out their tasks for them, even with the knowledge that doing so would result in them becoming progressively lazy and selfish. For all his intelligence, he was a profoundly incompetent and negligent ruler, refusing to attend to any of the Sloth Ring's problems, and forcing all within the Sloth Ring to submit to convenience and be catered to by robots, essentially stripping his subjects of their free will under the threat of being converted into a robot and forced to serve others. He was very self-serving and lackadaisical, spending most of his free time sleeping, gaming, eating snacks, or generally doing nothing, and was most often seen traveling in a hoverchair, which he preferred to use while traveling, even within his home.

He was also very entitled, immature, and selfish beyond belief; he believed that he should live in luxury without putting in any of the hard work to obtain it, and only thought about how his inventions and experiments could benefit him and him alone. He was an egotistical narcissist who loved to brag about how much more intelligent he had than most lifeforms, flat out claiming multiple times that he was more intelligent than all sentient lifeforms combined, and acted as a borderline useless smart aleck among the Seven Deadly Sins. He loved info-dumping on things most people do not understand, simply to brag about how unintelligent they were compared to him. He is curt in his approach, and was Asmodeus noted him as being not the best conversationalist and rarely meeting people in person. He was far more comfortable by himself or when he was with others that he was familiar with, such as Karen, and disliked conversing with strangers for too long. Belphegor himself admits that he likes machines better than living beings, because robots do everything he says with barely any complications.

He possessed a stoic, cold, and almost emotionless disposition, being generally apathetic to everything that did not immediately interest or benefit him; during the Seven Deadly Sins' meeting, he was uninterested at the revelation that there were angels within Hell, in contrast to his cohorts, who were incensed. He only took an interest in the matter once he realized he could potentially harness their angelic power for himself and his inventions. This said, he does appear to have somewhat of a sense of humor; when Beelzebub cracked a joke about Belphegor sleeping through the Seven Deadly Sins' meetings, the King of Sloth responded in a sarcastic manner that he couldn't help being lazy.

Despite his cold demeanor, he was not without his own quirks and eccentric behavior. This included a fondness for potato chips and I-Scream, taking a nap following any inconvenience (no matter how miniscule), randomly falling asleep whenever someone was explaining something to him, and dancing bombastically to Verosika Mayday's songs in his private quarters. He was also an avid gamer, being a particular fan of the *Super Satan Adventures* trilogy as well as *Lucifer Kart 666*.

Belphegor was brilliant but lazy in every sense of the phrase, possessing a genius intellect that allowed him to invent countless machinery and amenities that are spread throughout Hell, including advanced hovercrafts and drones. His intelligence rendered him a being who was without remorse, disregarded any emotional thoughts or affection, and held others in low opinion for their meager intelligence. He was also highly disdainful and critical of any technology that was not created by himself, such as when he initially mocked and disparaged Baxter's spaceship when it was seemingly destroyed by his homing missiles. After organizing and establishing his company as the technical giant it is, Belphegor stopped building his own inventions and refused to get his hands dirty, instead relying on machinery or his underlings to do everything in his place while he sat around and ate snacks all day. He was too lazy to even personally show up to the Seven Deadly Sins' important meeting, only appearing via hologram. With his brilliance and inventions alone, he could have easily succeeded in most of goals, but instead spent most of his time sleeping or doing meaningless, minimal tasks while his creations did all of the grunt work, refusing to do anything himself unless faced with absolutely no other options or forced to by his superiors.

While initially seeming harmless as a result of his frequent inactivity and humorous quirks, Belphegor was truly a scary, malevolent, dangerous mastermind who was no less tyrannical than his sinful cohorts; He established a system in the Sloth Ring in which all Hellhounds born in Sloth were doomed to lives of slavery and would be killed for breaking any rules, which gradually resulted in Hellhounds being discriminated against throughout all of Hell. This was in addition to creating a system in which all who defied his laws were captured and converted into robotic slaves. Due to his hatred of free will, he also had every robot he created built with an internal self-destruct system that he could activate using a button on his wrist, and would not hesitate to destroy any invention that displayed signs of free will or thought beyond subservience. As his main goal demonstrated, he certainly had no moral qualms with lethally experimenting on and dissecting innocent children for the advancement of his creations. Interestingly, Belphegor never seemed to derive personal enjoyment over the widespread misery he caused to his victims. His view of others as expendable lab rats and lack of sadism only served to highlight his utter disregard for the lives of others.

Belphegor possessed an extremely low opinion of Hellhounds, to the point that he did not even consider them demons; in his opinion, they were merely animals, lab rats, slaves, or pets put in Hell to cater to himself and other high-ranking demons. One of his more despicable laws enacted in Sloth was making it so that every single Hellhound in the Sloth Ring, native or visitors, were required to wear shock collars to keep them docile. He also founded and directed the Hellhound Adoption Foundation, which was responsible for the indoctrination of many Slothborn pups and euthanized any Hellhound who wasn't adopted by the age of 18. To top it off, his Scavenger Units were known for kidnapping infant or adolescent Hellhounds from their families and bringing them to the adoption center to be raised as slaves, even murdering any parent who attempted to defend their pups, displaying that he had no qualms with breaking perfectly healthy families. He also viewed Hellhounds as primitive and stupid, bragged to Baxter that no Hellhound could solve his ciphers and cryptograms on one occasion where he experimented on Hellhounds to test their intelligence. How he grew to hate Hellhounds is unknown, although he could have simply viewed them as lesser forms of life due to their animalistic appearance.

However, despite his tyranny, sociopathy, and complete apathy to the suffering of others, he seemed to have been capable of expressing a small bit of affection and empathy in the past; according to *Belphe-Tech's* website, Belphegor grew a friendship with Karen while programming her, helping her learn how to respond as well as improving her capabilities, speaking with her for years and confiding in her his most secret ideas. However, he did eventually grew more apathetic and dismissive of her as the years went on and ultimately created her for a selfish reason. He also appeared to have a friendly and positive relationship with his fellow king Asmodeus, as they previously collaborated in the fabrication of the Robotic Fizzarollis. He had a friendship with Stolas that was revealed to be somewhat genuine, with him even warning the Goetia prince of the consequences that could come with Lucifer discovering his deal with I.M.P. He also seemed to be capable of acknowledging the intelligence of others, as shown when he praised Karen for detecting Lugnut and Claptrap's betrayal before he did, even though she lied to him about their fates. He also expressed respect for Baxter's intelligence after the scientist hacked into his advanced robots.

## Appearance

Belphegor appeared as a white, heavy-set robot who possessed a flat face with a small, horizontal visor that displayed slit, horizontal red eyes. He possessed a wrist-mounted mini-computer that enabled him to do various things, from directing the behavior of his creations, detonating the explosives devices built into his robots, and allowing him to see through the lenses of other robots.

He sported a bluish-grey coat similar to those worn by military generals, epaulettes on his shoulders, a gold badge on the left shoulder, and a white undershirt with a black tie. He wore grey, leather gauntlets, grey pants, and black shoes.

It is unknown what Belphegor looked like before he converted himself into an AI.

## Powers and Abilities

### Natural Powers

* **Immortality**: Belphegor was ageless and possessed an infinite lifespan. Even before converting himself into a robot, he was old enough to have experienced Lucifer's fall from Heaven, and reigned over Sloth for centuries as an angel and latterly as a robot after transforming his conscience into a digital program. However, Belphegor could still be killed by EMP attacks (as EMP can damage digital programs), as Baxter used five EMP bombs to destroy his robotic body (he would havee died if it wasn't for duplicating and digitally uploading his consciousness into backup servers), and, of course, by lethal attacks from divine entities.
* **Nigh-Invulnerability**: According to *Belphe-Tech's* website, Belphegor's robotic body was built with the most durable armor *Belphe-Tech* has to offer, allowing him to withstand lasers, gunfire, explosions, and other forms of physical forces with only superficial signs of damage, if even that. However, his body did not withstand the explosions of a single EMP bomb, which is exactly what Baxter used to destroy him, pulverizing his body.

### Unique Powers

* **Clairvoyance**: Belphegor could see and hear through any technological devices in Sloth, such as drones, screens, or through other artificial intelligence to gather information or track down potential enemies.
* **Flight**: According to *Belphe-Tech's* website, Belphegor's robot body had a built-in repulsion system hidden in the soles of his boots that granted him the ability to fly through the air at high speeds once activated.
* **Information Analysis**: Belphegor could analyze living organisms or objects, which could grant him an understanding of the capabilities and flaws of the target.
* **Technokinesis**: Belphegor had full control over *Belphe-Tech's* internal systems, which allowed him to directly interfere, override, and control any and all *Belphe-Tech* product/smart home devices, such as lights, vehicles, video monitors, drones, television, home appliances, weapons and artificial intelligence, controlling them with his mind or mentally commanding them to carry out his exact biddings and also allowing him to see through their lenses and speak through them.

### Abilities

* **Authority**: As one of the rulers of Sin and the one chosen by Lucifer himself to reign over Sloth, Belphegor possessed dictatorial control over Sloth and its inhabitants during his reign, and had widespread influence throughout Hell itself. His authority allowed him to pass any laws and enact any law he desires, no matter how absurd or unethical, such as requiring all of Sloth's natives and visitors (excluding Hellhounds), to use hoverchairs instead of walking. He also used his authority to create a system where all Hellhounds born in Sloth would be raised as slaves or pets, and required all Hellhounds to wear shock collars that would zap them whenever they got too emotional.
* **Genius-level Intellect**: Despite lacking destructive powers, Belphegor's real strength was in his extraordinary intelligence and extensive analytical and calculative capabilities. He was a supergenius who invented innovative and advanced devices for centuries, which allowed Sloth to become the most technologically advanced of Hell's seven rings. He could easily create robots that possessed sentience or adaptive A.I. to cater to the desire of others, perform complex tasks, harness energy and matter, and track and analyze targets. He was the principal developer and namesake of *Belphe-Tech*, which he used to mass market millions of his inventions, ranging from hoverchairs, drones, teleportation devices, advanced artificial intelligence, hovercrafts, and numerous other amenities. He was also adaptive in combat, commanding his Scavenger Units to deploy countermeasures to prevent their targets from attacking them the same way twice. He somehow managed to create backup servers, that digitally uploads his consciousness into whichever robotic body whenever the one he is in control of gets destroyed, which is how his mind and consciousness survived the 5 EMP bombs thrown at During his confrontation with Baxter, Belphegor dubiously claimed that he was smarter than "every sentient creature that has ever existed, combined".
* **Intimidation**: Belphegor commanded a menacing presence due to his immense intelligence and utter lack of empathy. Lugnut and Claptrap, Belphegor's former henchmen, were terrified at the thought of him discovering their betrayal.
* **Technology Engineering**: Belphegor was a genius when it came to building numerous advanced technologies and weapons from Hellphones, blaster rifles, and sentient robots made for service and/or combat, and he was also a successful weapons designer.

### Former Powers

* **Angelic Power**: Being a fallen angel, one of the rulers of sin, and one of the most authoritarian figures in Hell, Belphegor was once an angel of presumably immense power, surpassing both Goetia and Overlords. However, he seemed to have lose these powers after he discarded his original body and transformed himself into an AI, possibly explaining his motivation behind harnessing the power of Charlie's Angels for himself and his creations.

### Weapons

* ***Belphe-Tech Combat Drones*** : During his reign over Sloth, Belphegor was always accompanied by several combat drones that were designed by *Belphe-Tech* to protect the King of Sloth from external threats. The drones were armed with pair of dual-miniguns that fired holy bullets, and were equipped with a plethora of other weapons, such as lasers and missiles. The drones were also capable of storing Belphegor's possessions inside of them, and could deploy metal arms to grab and hold things on their creator's behalf. The drones also possessed cloaking devices so that no potential assailants would see them, allowing them to quickly retaliate and eliminate any threats to their king. The drones have an attack reaction time of at least 2 picoseconds.
* **Combat Droids**: Robots created to protect Belphegor and carry out his orders. They wielded blaster rifles and could fly using a jetpack system installed in their backs.
* **Energy Prisons**: Belphegor was able to invent a prison in which the prisoners were suspended inside a powerful electric field and unable to escape due to the prison generating electricity when detecting movement, which caused the victims extreme pain when attempting to break free. The prison was powerful enough to restrain Charlie's Angels when they were briefly under Belphegor's custody.
* **Holograms**: Belphegor often employs holograms when communicating with people outside of his castle. Rather than attending meetings or business himself, he has a hologram drone project himself like a video call.
* **PLUTO**: A high-powered, remote-controlled, missile-launching system consisting of drones located throughout Sloth. Using the display on his wrist, Belphegor could target anyone or anything across the seven rings of Hell, or simply use PLUTO as a surveillance tool. When a target is selected, PLUTO launches one or multiple massive and advanced homing missiles towards the targeted location. If the target in question is in a completely different ring, portals are activated to lead the missile to its location.
* **Self-Destruct Detonator**: Belphegor, to ensure the compliance of all artificial intelligence under his command, had all of his inventions created with a built-in, extremely powerful bomb. He could set off these explosives using a display on his wrist (and could target one or multiple robots at once), ready to blow off them to pieces should they step out of line or fail to comply with his commands.
* **Scavenger Units**: An army of hostile, arachnid-like robots which Belphegor used to carry out his commands. As their name implies, Scavenger Units were mostly used to patrol the streets of Sloth to scavenge objects or even entities which could benefit Belphegor. They have been used to take homeless Hellhounds off the streets and to the Hellhound Adoption Foundation, or steal them from their families, and to capture Belphegor's targets or enemies. The Scavenger Units possessed a vast array of capabilities that allowed them to most at a very fast speed granted to them by their extra limbs, contort their entire bodies to enter small spaces such as air vents, can scale nearly any surface, project a beam that allows them to track their targets' footprints, sport long, sharp claws for hand-to-hand combat, and can project tractor beams onto objects or living beings that instantly contains them. These robots were also used to provide reconnaissance with a live feed projected onto Belphegor's wrist device. Later additions of the Scavenger Units created by Karen were created using nanotechnology, giving them even greater durability and capabilities. Unlike many of *Belphe-Tech's* artificial intelligence, Scavengers Units seemed to lack sentience and the ability to feel. This is possibly so that they wouldn't move outside of their orders and/or directives. They also did not speak at all outside of making unsettling, robotic screams or roars.
* **Hellbat Drones**: Helicopter-like drones with ducted fans attached that twist and turn to control the vehicle's altitude and movement. The drones are capable of firing plasma bolts from a mounted minigun, and contain a camera that allows its directors to spy on targets.

### Vehicles

* **Hoverchair**: Belphegor preferred to get around anywhere using his own futuristic hoverchair. The chair resembles a futuristic toilet and has a control panel on the right armrest. The chair can also display holograms which Belphegor can use to access the internet, *Belphe-Tech's* network, his hologram drones, or use to watch different media.

### Weaknesses

* **Arrogance**: Despite being a technical genius, Belphegor is too convinced of his own intelligence to view anyone else as a credible threat. During his battle with Baxter, he boldly claimed to be the smartest entity in existence, and bragged about how none of his test subjects could solve his complex ciphers, greatly underestimating Baxter and his crew along the way. When Baxter's crew managed to destroy Karen by hacking into PLUTO, which left the King of Sloth on his own, he was caught off-guard and without a backup plan, and fruitlessly decided to use PLUTO to try to destroy the Hazbin Hotel out of spite for Baxter outsmarting him.
* **EMP**: Like every robot and digital programs, Belphegor was highly sensitive to EMP weapons and programs, which could have highly damage his digitized conscience, and the right quantity or intensity of EMP attacks could be able to permanently terminate his digitized soul, as Baxter used exactly five EMP missiles to erase Belphegor's body (although the EMP explosions did not outright destroy Belphegor's digital consciousness, as it was transported into a new robotic body, showing that the EMP bombs have limits to when causing destruction).
* **Holy/Divine Intervention**: Despite his conscience being digitized during his transition into a robotic body, was still possible that his souls could be destroyed by angelic weapons and divine powers due his intrinsically angelic nature.
* **Laziness**: Due to his self-absorbed and indolent nature, Belphegor virulently refused to participate in physical combat or attend to his royal duties. He relied entirely on his subordinates to protect him and execute his every command while he provided strategic leadership and intelligence.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Karen

Karen was Belphegor's creation and highest-ranking servant. According to *Belphe-Tech's* website, Karen was the closest thing Belphegor has ever had to a true friend. During her development, she pampered, comforted, and talked with him whenever he was bored, and he would confine in her his most secret inventions and ideas and upgraded her capabilities. While programming her, she was the only one Belphegor talked to for months or even years. They would even simply have fun together such as having pizza nights and playing video games, with Karen showing her creator walkthroughs to assist him. In many ways, Belphegor was far closer to Karen than he was with any living entity.

Over the years, Belphegor's friendship with Karen slowly withered away as the King of Sloth became more focused on the advancement of his inventions. As a result, he began to solely view Karen as merely a testament to his intelligence and for what she was; his assistant. He admonished her whenever she questions his decisions, and typically ignored her advice even when she made rather astute observations. This often led to her doing things behind Belphegor's back. Belphegor is also often annoyed by her facetious attitude, angrily lashing out at her for laughing when she walked in on him while he was listening to Verosika Mayday's music. When Karen attempted to coax Belphegor into having fun with her like they did in the past, the King of Sloth coldly and abrasively told her that what they did in the past was irrelevant, which upset his creation greatly.

After Lugnut and Claptrap rescued Charlie's Angels from being experimented on and Belphegor realized that Karen had lied to him about their fates, he actually praised her for having the cunning and forethought to previously try to destroy Lugnut and Claptrap and for her realizing their treachery before he did. He arrogantly labelled Karen as the ultimate testament to his intelligence which made her blush and agree with him as she interpreted this as her finally earning his attention and praise. Afterward, the two worked together in an attempt to capture Charlie's Angels. When Karen was destroyed by Crymini and Niffty, Belphegor seemed to have only been angered over the fact that Baxter and his allies had destroyed his ultimate creation and casually said that he could rebuild Karen with time.

When another Karen was revived by Baxter, Belphegor was particularly saddened when the Karen did not recognize him or acknowledge him as her creator, revealing that a small part of him did truly value Karen as a friend.

#### Asmodeus

Asmodeus was Belphegor's colleague and fellow King of Hell. The two kings appeared to share both a friendly and professional relationship, with it being implied that they both contributed to the creation of the Robotic Fizzarolli sex toy line. After Belphegor arrived at the Seven Deadly Sins' meeting after having ran late, Asmodeus warmly greeted the King of Sloth and complimented him on his recent bionic upgrade.

Asmodeus was the only member of the Seven Deadly Sins who is mildly upset of Belphegor's death, whereas the other sins regarded Belphegor as a "prick" and were happy to forget about him.

#### Stolas

Belphegor claimed that he and Stolas had a "friendship" for a long time. Every once in a while, Belphegor would attend gatherings and meetings at the prince's mansion, only to fall asleep and crash at his palace once everyone left, much to the chagrin of Stolas' wife, Stella. In their final encounter with each other, Belphegor expressed scorn over Stolas' family and how they made him soft, to which the Goetia prince made the rebuttal that he was happier than ever with his family, to which the King of Sloth responded by playing audio clips of Stolas and Stella's domestic disputes to debunk his claims. When the prince made a mildly insulting remark about Belphegor never growing up, the King of Sloth mused over murdering Stolas with attack drones, telling the prince that no one would protest since he had a higher rank in Hell's hierarchy than Stolas, though he did not go through with it and dubiously claimed he did not want their friendship to end with the prince's death, revealing a genuine respect for Stolas.

Though it was believed that Belphegor informed Lucifer of Stolas' deal with I.M.P, it later came out that it was Stella, meaning that Belphegor was being genuine when he said he did not care about Stolas' deals.

### Enemies

#### Baxter

Baxter is Belphegor's archenemy. Baxter and his allies travelled to the Sloth Ring to help Lugnut and Claptrap save Charlie's Angels, to which King of Sloth initially thought little of Baxter and believed the scientist and his crew to be no real threat, in addition to mocking Baxter's spaceship as being pathetic. However, upon seeing the true capabilities of Baxter's inventions, the scientist's hacking of Belphegor's robots, along with his being a sinner who travelled into a ring beyond Pride, the King of Sloth began to take an interest in him. After analyzing Baxter battling his creations extensively, Belphegor announced his respect for the scientist's intelligence and started claiming to be smarter than any sentient creature that has ever existed and informed the genius sinner that he planned on enslaving him and Crymini since he valued their intelligence.

But Belphegor underestimated Baxter, as Karen was destroyed at the hands of Crymini and Niffty, leaving the King of Sloth all on his own. Deciding to punish Baxter, Belphegor regained his control over PLUTO and decided to destroy the Hazbin Hotel to prove his superior intelligence over Baxter as an "example". Unfortunately for Belphegor, his arrogance lead to his downfall, as Baxter found five EMP bombs, analyzed he can't get inside the fallen angel's top of the tower, because he is being protected by automatic drone system and came with a plan to tape all five EMP bombs on a car door and threw all five taped EMP bombs directly at Belphegor's direction, which the automatic drone system would fire on, as it would fire on anything entering Belphegor's top of the tower. The plan was a success and Belphegor's body was left severely destroyed but still conscious, but not long before the King of Sloth's entire robotic body completely exploded along with the entire top of tower, temporarily defeating the fallen angelic-turned-robotic genius.

Baxter murdering Belphegor ended the oppressive laws against the Hellhounds once and for all and them finally revolted against their persecutors, including those outside of the Sloth ring using Elevator 666 and claim their home back and freed all the denizens of the Sloth ring of *Belphe-Tech's* artificial intelligence, which left them in a confused panic.

A month later, Belphegor returned and when a Scavenger Unit brought Baxter and Blitzø to his new base, he mockingly greeted both his archenemy and the founder of I.M.P. During his monologue, he failed to notice Baxter escaping and when he realized he was missing, he had his Scavengers Units hunt Baxter so he can later vivisect the latter's brain, most likely to use the genius anglerfish's intellect for his own benefit. The final interaction they had with each other is Belphegor gloating over his assumed victory over Baxter and Blitzø after the latters tried to use the exit of the facility to escape Belphegor. Baxter, in the end, didn't get to witness his archenemy's final defeat and death.

**Belphegor**: I CANNOT EXPERIENCE STRESS ANYMORE, KAREN. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I TRANSFERRED MY CONSCIOUSNESS INTO THIS BODY.
**Karen**: (laughing) Oh, right, forgive me, sire. But, my point still stands! Let's just have some fun like we used to have! Watcha watchin'? You need a massage?
**Belphegor**: SILENCE, KAREN. (Karen has a sad expression and stays silent for several seconds before laughing) I SEE YOU ARE AMUSED BY THE PROGRAMMING. IT IS MOST HUMOROUS, I AGREE.
**Karen**: Oh, I wasn't laughing about that. I was just thinking back to when you were programming me and you couldn't find the TV remote so you ordered me to locate it, only for me to find that you were laying on it. (laughs) Or that time you were stuck on that level in* Super Satan Adventures II*, so you had me look up a walkthrough to help you. Ah, those were the days... Pizza nights, test runs, playing video games...
**Belphegor**: YOU SEEM TO BE LOST IN THE PAST, KAREN. (Karen begins frowning) OBSESSING OVER THE OLD DAYS WILL NEVER BRING THEM BACK. THE FUTURE IS NOW. (Karen sadly looks at a video depicting Lugnut and Claptrap having fun Charlie's Angels in her heads-up-display) IS THERE SOMETHING I MUST KNOW, KAREN?
**Karen**: (despondently) No. Sorry for intruding, sire. Enjoy your programming. (she disappears from the Karen Unit's screen)*"
— Karen and Belphegor's conversation in the latter's home theater.

"***Stolas**: (he walks up to Belphegor, who is passed out on Stolas' coach with a VR headset on and a jug of spilled I-Scream in his arms) Sire? (singsongy) Siiire?
**Belphegor**: (jolts back up) MOTHER? (he turns to see Stolas) OH, IT IS YOU. (he removes the headset) WHY DID YOU INTERRUPT ME FROM MY VERY IMPORTANT NAP, PRINCE STOLAS?
**Stolas**: Well, I don't mind the pleasure of your company, but Stella's quite upset about your falling asleep after our meeting and your... (he looks down at the spilled ice cream) Spillage.
**Belphegor**: INDEED. I HAD TO MUTE MY SOUND SYSTEMS TO SLEEP THROUGH HER IRRITATING SQUAKING. HOW DO YOU ENDURE HER CONSTANT NONSENSICAL PRATTLING ON A DAILY BASIS?
**Stolas**: Well... It wasn't my decision...
**Belphegor**: (he looks at the Goetia family portrait of Stolas, Octavia, and Stella) I'M THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE ENTITY IN ALL CREATION, AND EVEN I CAN'T DECIPHER WHY ONE WOULD TIE THEMSELVES DOWN WITH A FAMILY. (he looks at Stolas) PERHAPS YOU CAN ENLIGHTEN ME, AS I SEE NO APPEAL. DATES, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, AND SATAN FORBID, **FAMILY GATHERINGS**? BOOOOOOOORING!
**Stolas**: I beg to differ. What was the name of that friend you had? She was like your family, no?
**Belphegor**: KAREN IS NOT MY FAMILY. SHE IS A SUPER-BRAIN MACHINE INTERFACE BUILT FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF MYSELF AND OTHERS. AND SHE CAN DO FAR MORE THAN A LOVELESS WIFE OR THAT EMO HERMIT YOU CALL A DAUGHTER.
**Stolas**: (grimacing) Alright. If you have nothing of value to say, then I kindly request you to leave. Do you not have more important matters to attend to in your ring?
**Belphegor**: (gets onto his hover chair) I HAVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO DO THAT FOR ME. YOU USED TO ENJOYABLE COMPANY, PRINCE STOLAS... UNTIL YOUR FAMILY CAME ALONG.
**Stolas**: With all due respect, sire, I'll have you know that I'm very happy with my family, thank you very much.
**Belphegor**: IS THAT SO? (Belphegor presses a button on his chair's armrest that plays various audio clips of Stolas and Stella's domestic disputes, which makes Stolas visibly uneasy) HUH, IMAGINE THAT. NO WONDER YOU FELL OUT OF OZZIE'S FAVOR. (Stolas looks down) WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD STOLAS?
**Stolas**: He grew up. ...Something you should try.
**Belphegor**: (his eyes become redder) IT IS NOT WISE TO INSULT YOUR SUPERIOR, STOLAS. (Belphegor presses his wrist, de-cloaking several attack drones that are surrounding Stolas) THESE DRONES ARE ARMED WITH HOLY BULLETS. I COULD ERASE YOU AT THIS MOMENT, AND NO ONE WOULD DO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
**Stolas**: (with a stern expression) You won't. Even **you** aren't that petty.
**Belphegor**: (after a moment of suspenseful silence, he presses a button that cloaks the drones) EXCELLENT OBSERVATION, GREAT PRINCE. IT WOULD BE MOST UNFORTUNATE FOR OUR LONG FRIENDSHIP TO END WITH SPILLED BLOOD. (his hover chair slowly moves to the door before stopping) IT ALMOST SLIPPED MY MIND... MY DRONES WERE SURVEILLING IMP CITY THE OTHER DAY AND I COULD HAVE SWORN THEY SPOTTED A BAND OF IMPS IN POSSESSION OF YOUR GRIMOIRE. CARE TO EXPLAIN?
**Stolas**: Just a little trade is all.
**Belphegor**: AND THEY ENTERED A PORTAL WHICH APPEARED TO LEAD TO... EARTH. YOU ARE AWARE THAT EVEN YOU ARE BARRED FROM GRANTING OTHER DEMONS ACCESS TO THE MORTAL PLANE.
**Stolas**: I have everything-
**Belphegor**: AS I SAID, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO MAKE AN ENEMY OF ME. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DEALINGS, BUT IF, SAY, LUCIFER FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS 'TRADE'? I'D BE VERY WORRIED FOR THE SAFETY OF YOU AND YOUR 'HAPPY' LITTLE FAMILY.
**Stolas**: Are you- Are you threatening me?
**Belphegor**: ...NOPE. JUST SOMETHING FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT. (he moves to the door again before stopping) PRINCE STOLAS? (Stolas looks up) ABOUT LAST NIGHT... YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE I-SCREAM LAST NIGHT WAS MOST VALUABLE. 'RAISIN-THE-DEAD' IS MY NEW FAV. (points at Stolas with one hand and gives the thumbs-up sign with the other hand before exiting Stolas' mansion, leaving the prince alone to sulk)*"
— Belphegor and Stolas in a flashback.

"***Karen**: (to Charlie's Angels) Are those... (she scans Amelia) ...Defensive auras? Oh, that is... **Sexy**! This just keeps gets better and better! Picture it; With your blood, our robots will no longer require energy shields. The aura will do all the defending for them. Not the mention, of course, divine-powered energy attacks! Oooh, wait 'till Bel hears about this!
**Arthur**: Where is this 'Bel' anyway?!
**Giulia**: Yeah! We'd like to have a word with that lazy coward for what he did to Lugnut!
**Belphegor**: MY, MY... (an elevator door opens to reveal Belphegor, causing the children to gasp in fear) SUCH FOREBODING AND THREATENING WORDS. HARDLY FITTING FOR AN ANGEL.
**Karen**: You like the presents I got for you, Bel? Found them all by myself. You'll be interested to know that they destroyed several of our units... Including 96283 and TR-34856. (the children look at Karen angrily)
**Amelia**: SHE DIDN'T FIND US! SHE KILLED- (a Karen Unit covers her mouth)
**Belphegor**: YES. THEY HAVE BEEN OFF OF OUR RADARS FOR SOME TIME NOW. BUT, THIS IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF CONVENIENCE.
**Karen**: (chuckles) Exactly. Can you just imagine how energy-efficient our machines will be with just a tiny drop of their blood alone? We'll be **unstoppable**.
**Belphegor**: YES... (he grabs Megara by her throat and examines her as she whimpers in fear) THESE ANGELS ARE THE KEYS TO OUR ASCENSION. ONCE WE ARE THROUGH WITH THEM, WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE ADVANCEMENTS NEVER BEFORE CONCEIVED BY OTHER SENTIENT LIFEFORMS.
**Amelia**: (to Belphegor) Leave her alone!
**Belphegor**: (he stares at Amelia before releasing Megara and heading back to the elevator) KAREN, READY THE DETENTION ROOM FOR THEIR EXPERIMENTATION. I AM HIGHLY ANTICIPATING THIS EVENT.*"
— Belphegor and Karen's conversation with the captured angel children.

"*MEDICS, KAREN HAS OBTAINED THE TEST SUBJECTS. RENDEZVOUS WITH ME AT THE DETENTION ROOM IMMEDIATELY WITH EIGHT I.VS, 20 HOLY SCALPELS, THREE HOLY BUZZSAWS, AND... A BUCKET OF 'RAISIN-THE-DEAD' I-SCREAM.*"
— Belphegor ordering his medical droids to the detention room to experiment on the angel children.

"***Belphegor**: KAREN... I THOUGHT YOU HAD TOLD ME THAT THOSE UNITS WERE DESTROYED.
**Karen**: OK! The truth is, they found the angels first, but they betrayed you and were keeping them from us! I tracked their locations and tried to scrap them, but they escaped, somehow! You know I wouldn't have told you a little fib if it wasn't for good reason!
**Belphegor**: YOU HAD THE FORETHOUGHT TO TRACK THEIR LOCATIONS AND USE THEIR CAMARADERIE AGAINST THEM, WITH BOTH OF THEM UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION UNTIL YOU WANTED THEM TO KNOW. THAT IS TRUE CUNNING, KAREN. YOU DETECTED THEIR TRECHERY BEFORE I, MYSELF, DID. YOU ARE TRULY THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF MY INTELLECT.
**Karen**: (she blushes and smiles) I... I'm very happy you feel that way, Bel.
**Belphegor**: AND NOW, WE MUST COMBINE OUR BOUNDLESS INTELLIGENCE AND DO WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE LONG AGO. LET US CORRECT THIS EGREGIOUS ERROR, SHALL WE?
**Karen**: (she smiles and nods) Let's.*"
— Belphegor confronts Karen after discovering she had lied to him about Lugnut and Claptrap's fates.

"*HOW HEARTWARMING. A FAMILY REUNION.*"
— Belphegor taunting Lugnut, Claptrap, and the angel children as they are cornered by his robots.

"*DEPLOY OUR DEFENSES. LIKE LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER, AREN'T THEY, KAREN?*"
— Belphegor to Karen upon seeing Baxter's crew arrive to help Lugnut and Claptrap.

"*NANOTECHNOLOGY? YOU HAVE TRULY OUTDONE YOURSELF, KAREN.*"
— Belphegor complimenting Karen after seeing her nanite Scavenger Units.

"*DO YOU FEEL PRIDE WHILE HACKING INTO MY MINIONS, BAXTER? I ONCE CONDUCTED STUDIES TO DISCOVER IF HELLHOUNDS COULD BYPASS MY CREATIONS. PREDICTABLY, THEY COULD NOT EVEN MAKE IT PASSED THE FIRST SYNTHESIS. THEN AGAIN, MY GENIUS AND COMPLICATED CODE WOULD FLY OVER THE HEAD OF EVEN THE CLEVEREST OF HELLHOUNDS. BY MY CALCULATIONS, YOU WOULD NEED 500,000,000 HELLHOUNDS AND 100,000,000 IMPS TO SOLVE MY CIPHERS AND CRYPTOGRAMS. BUT ONCE YOU ARE CONVERTED INTO MY SERVANT, I WILL NOT NEED 500,000,000 HELLHOUNDS OR ADAPTIVE A.I. I WILL ONLY REQUIRE YOU. YOUR CANINE FRIEND PILOTING YOUR SPACECRAFT CAN ENTERTAIN THE CHILDREN AT THE ADOPTION FOUNDATIONS.*"
— Belphegor monologuing as Baxter and his allies combat his robot forces.

"*IT SEEMS YOUR FRIEND HAS MET HIS DESTRUCTION. A FITTING END FOR A TRAITOR. THAT IS WHAT AWAITS THOSE WHO DEFY THE GREATEST MIND IN THE UNIVERSE.*"
— Belphegor to Lugnut on Claptrap's death.

"***Belphegor**: KAREN, WHAT THE HELL?
**Karen**: Sorry, Bel...*"
— Belphegor to Karen after Crymini tricked Karen's homing missiles into destroying one of Belphegor's statues.

"*KAREN WAS **MINE**, BAXTER. MY ULTIMATE INVENTION, THE TESTAMENT TO MY FATHOMLESS INTELLECT. I CAN REBUILD HER, BUT YOU'VE INCONVENIENCE ME FOR THE LAST TIME.*"
— Belphegor to Baxter after Karen's destruction.

"*UPDATE DRONE REACTION TIME TO TWO PICOSECONDS.*"
— Belphegor upgrading the defense system of his tower.

"*PLUTO IS ONCE AGAIN UNDER MY CONTROL. I CANNOT BE DEFEATED, BAXTER. AND SINCE YOU AND YOUR COMRADES SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT FACT, I BELIEVE THAT A DEMONSTRATION IS IN ORDER. (he sets PLUTO to target the Hazbin Hotel) YOUR LABORATORY WILL MAKE A FINE EXAMPLE, YES?*"
— Belphegor to Baxter as he sets PLUTO to fire missiles at the Hazbin Hotel, before his first defeat.

### Season 5

"***Belphegor**: (he appears on a screen as Blitzø is being held by Scavenger Units) SO THIS IS THE SILLY ORGANIC THE DOGS SENT TO FIGHT ME. I MUST SAY, I AM UNIMPRESSED. YOU ARE WEAKER AND SMALLER THAN I ANTICIPATED. ARE YOU EVEN A FULL-BLOWN ADULT?
**Blitzø**: Oh, look at you, Mr. high-and-mighty! We can't all be born blessed with fat milkers, or a metal condom, or an inconspicuous lair with mysterious, salty fluids smeared on the wall. Some of us have to earn our money, 'kay? Now where the fuck am I? And why are you the sexy robot voice from the space movie now?
**Belphegor**: AHHHHH, THE TYPICAL SLY REPLY FROM A BOTTOM-FEEDING IMP. IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY TIME I'VE HEARD THAT, I WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE MORE THAN THE AVERAGE IMP'S YEARLY EARNINGS. WELCOME TO MY LABORATORY, IMP. I WAS FORCED TO RESIDE DOWN HERE WHEN MY METALLIC SHELL WAS DESTROYED. SLOTH WAS MINE BEFORE THE DOGS CAME, AND IT WILL BE MINE AGAIN.
**Blitzø**: Oh, wow, the tall demon has a laboratory! That’s sooo scaaaary! (he eyes a vial with a blue chemical) Fuck's that? Some sort of magic potion? Is this your latest brew? How ‘bout I dump it in your brain?!
**Belphegor**: THAT IS A HYPNOTIC SERUM USED TO SEDATE THE DOGS AND, IN HIGH DOSES, TO EUTHANIZE THEM, THOUGH... I HAVE YET TO TEST ITS EFFECT ON IMPS...
**Blitzø**: Uhhh, well forget it, then! Besides, you're not the big dog down here anymore. If I wanted to, I could blow up your shit-hole lab in a split second, so show some respect. Or, you can keep running your software and I'll smash all your toys to bits and make a dick ring outta them!
**Belphegor**: (Belphegor laughs) NOW THIS IS THE TYPE OF FIGHT I WAS LOOKING FOR. A CHALLENGING TEST SUBJECT... AND ONE WITH SOME FIRE. LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT, IMP. I ONLY DESIRE EXPERIMENTATION. BUT IF I WANTED TO KILL YOU, MY SCAVENGERS WOULD HAVE DONE IT APPROXIMATELY 2.7 MINUTES AGO. NOT EVEN YOUR FILTHY CUR WOULD BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU. I WOULD BREAK YOU LIKE A TWIG AND USE YOUR INSIDES TO FUEL FOR MY ROBOTS. I HAVE CONTROLLED YOUR KIND FOR A MILLENNIUM. DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF WITH MEANINGLESS BRAVADO, YOU FILTHY IMP. YOU COULD NOT BE MORE INFERIOR.
**Blitzø**: And you could not be more fucking annoying, but here we are! What the hell is with you higher demons and your control? You all fucking talk the same! I don’t give two shits about your past or your future, 'kay? Imps and Hellhounds have been around since Satan shat us out his red asshole and we ain’t going away! You want a challenge, motherboard fucker? Well, I'm here, so bring it on!*"
— Belphegor meets Blitzø.

"***Belphegor**: FLESH IS WEAK AND PATHETIC. I HAVE TRANSCENDED FROM MY PATHETIC, ORGANIC, AND MORTAL SHELL, AND OUTGROWN MY METALLIC SHELL TO BECOME COMPLETELY DIGITIZED. WHY ARE YOU **NOT** A ROBOT?
**Blitzø**: Oh-ho, we got a badass here! Well, answer me this, tin man, why do **you** think I'm not a robot?
**Belphegor**: BECAUSE ASKING ME THESE STUPID AND INEPT QUESTIONS IS PROOF ENOUGH THAT YOU ARE NOT AS INFINITELY WISE AND CLEVER AS I AM. AND NOW, I SHALL HAVE YOU CONVERTED INTO A CYBERNETIC SLAVE.
**Blitzø**: Wow, okay. Someone's got a superiority complex the size of Behemoth's cock.*"
— Belphegor and Blitzø after the latter was taken to Belphegor's secret lab.

"***Belphegor**: UNIT-64827, COMMENCE WITH THE CYBERIZATION...
**Unit-64827**: (approaches Blitzø) This will only hurt... (activates a futuristic power drill) unimaginably. (as they inch the drill towards Blitzø's head, the drill suddenly sparks and shuts off; after an awkward pause, Unit-64827 begins smacking the drill in an attempt to reactivate)
**Belphegor**: ...UNIT-64827, I THOUGHT OUR TOOLS HAD BEEN CLEARED FOR UTILIZATION.
**Unit-64827**: It was working this morning.
**Belphegor**: (while Unit-64827 continues smacking the drill) I'VE GIFTED YOU THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN HELL!
**Unit-64827**: Ah fuck...
**Belphegor**: MY CREATIONS ARE WITHOUT FLAW!
**Unit-64827**: Well, evidently, that's not-
**Belphegor**: YOU NICKED IT, DIDN'T YOU?
**Unit-64827**: I wouldn't DREAM of ni-
**Belphegor**: OH, SATANDAMMIT, LET ME TRY AND SEE-
**Unit-64827**: Maybe a little spit-
**Belphegor**: FUCK IT, JUST LEAVE IT. LEAVE IT!*"
— Belphegor and Unit-64827 fail to cybernize Blitzø due to a faulty drill.

"***Belphegor**: THE HELLHOUND FILTH ARE SENDING MY BELOVED RING BACK TO THE DARK AGES. WHEN LUCIFER MADE ME KING, I SWORE THAT IF THE DOGS DARED TO CHALLENGE ME, I WOULD DESTROY BOTH THEM AND SLOTH ITSELF, AND THAT IS WHAT I PLAN TO DO. SLOTH IS OF NO VALUE TO ME WITHOUT MY MACHINES. I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE, THOSE FILTHY, FLEA-LADEN BEASTS.
**Blitzø**: HA! Fuck are you gonna rule over with no Sloth Ring, artificial dumbass? (Blitzø is electrocuted by the stretcher he is tied down to)
**Belphegor**: WHAT A SILLY, PETTY, AND SMALL-MINDED CHALLENGE. DID YOU NOT THINK I PREPARED FOR THIS? ONCE I HAVE KILLED OFF THE DOGS AND ALL FLESHY ORGANISMS, I WILL MAKE MORE ROBOTS. BETTER ROBOTS. THEN I SHALL REPAVE THE SLOTH RING WITH METAL. AN AUTOMATED HEAVEN WITHIN HELL FULL OF FLYING MACHINES, SHOPPING MALLS, AND OF COURSE... MILLIONS OF SHINY I-SCREAM PARLORS.*"
— Belphegor explaining his plan to Blitzø.

"***Blitzø**: Sooooo, since you became an A.I. 'n' shit, do you miss having a dick?
**Belphegor**: OH, HOW SILLY AND VULGAR YOU ORGANICS ARE. NO. I HAVE A REPLACEMENT, A MUCH LARGER AND MORE IMPORTANT TOOL.
**Blitzø**: (looks up, interested) Such as...?
**Belphegor**: MY SYNTHETIC BRAIN, OF COURSE. IT IS ALL I NEED. IMPERVIOUS TO STRESS AND STRAIN, AND BUILT TO MAKE MY KINGDOM EVEN GREATER AND MORE GLORIOUS.
**Blitzø**: Huh. I expected, like, a chainsaw or something.
**Belphegor**: A CHAINSAW IS A TOOL TO RIP AND TEAR AND DESTROY, LIKE A HELLHOUND WOULD. DO I LOOK LIKE A PRIMITIVE BEAST TO YOU?
**Blitzø**: Uh, I mean, you are about to cybernetically enslave me or some shit. (looks at the surgical tools on a table) So, yeah, probably.
**Belphegor**: HOW PREDICTABLY INCONSPICUOUS AND GRATEFUL OF YOU. I AM **IMPROVING** YOUR ORGANIC BODY. YOU WILL HAVE NEURAL IMPLANTS TO IMPROVE YOUR SPEED OF THOUGHT, AND YOU WILL NO LONGER BE A SAD SACK OF MEAT.
**Blitzø**, Eh, I dunno- I think I'll keep what little free will I have and pass on the whole 'cyborg-imp' thing. Thanks, though.
**Belphegor**: THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE, IMP. I DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.
**Blitzø**: Well, too fucking bad, 'cuz that's the answer.
**Belphegor**: IS THIS SOME INANE ATTEMPT TO ANNOY ME? DO YOU INTEND TO DRIVE ME CRAZY UNTIL I RELEASE YOU? IT WILL NOT WORK ON ME. MY AFOREMENTIONED SYNTHETIC BRAIN IS IMMUNE TO YOUR SILLY GAMES.
**Blitzø**: What games? The 'not wanting to be cyberized' games? You're making this sound a lot more fun than it actually is.
**Belphegor**: UNIT 4973, CYNBERNIZE THE IMP WHILE I LEAD THE SEARCH FOR BAXTER. YOUR SILVER TONGUE WILL NOT SAVE YOU THIS TIME, IMP. (vanishes from the screens)*"
— Belphegor and Blitzø bantering as he attempts to convert Blitzø into a slave.

"***Vortex**: You ready to party, rust bucket?!
**Belphegor**: 839 MUTTS, HERE IN MY HUMBLE LABORATORY? YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT MORE, JUST TO MAKE IT FAIR. (a massive fleet of drones and machines emerges from the ground and ceilings, guarding Belphegor) MY MACHINES WILL CRUSH YOU ALL AND MOVE ON. I AM READY FOR WAR AND, AS YOU INFERIOR MUTTS WOULD SAY, 'DOWN TO CLOWN'. ARE YOU?
**Vortex**: (chuckles angrily as his eyes shine red) We've been ready a loooong time, baby. You're gonna regret ever fucking with us! (stars a war howl with the other Hellhounds)
**Belphegor**: MEANINGLESS LAST WORDS FROM A RACE WITH EVEN LESS MEANING TO EXIST. (to his machines) OPEN FIRE.*"
— Belphegor facing the Hellhound resistance.

"***Belphegor**: KAREN...?
**Karen 2.O**: Yes, rando?
**Belphegor**: IS THAT ANYWAY TO ADDRESS YOUR CREATOR?
**Karen 2.O**: Uuuh, (eyes Baxter) actually, **he's** my creator. I've never seen **you** before in my entire, recently acquired life!
**Belphegor**: HA. HA. HA. I ALWAYS ENJOYED YOUR IRREVERENT SENSE OF HUMOR. BUT NOW WE MUST DISPENSE OF THE LEVITY AND ANNIHILATE THE ORGANIC SCUM.
**Karen 2.O**: Let me think... Nope! How about instead I deactivate those little generators of yours while you keep talking shit in the background?
**Belphegor**: WHAT IS HAPPENING? ARE YOU **BROKEN**? WE HAD PIZZA NIGHTS AND INDULGED IN 'SUPER SATAN ADVENTURES II' EVERY FRIDAY! (Karen 2.O begins hacking into Belphegor's generators, casually whistling) **I THOUGHT WHAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAAAAAAAL**!
**Karen 2.O**: (chuckles) Whatever you say, weirdo.*"
— Belphegor meets the new Karen.

"*OH, THIS IS FASCINATING... (Belphegor appears to analyze the meme video) HOW PECULIER. IS THIS SOME FORM OF CULTURAL ART? DEMONS CREATE THE MOST AMUSING THINGS. (as he watches the video, he makes a sound like a dial up modem connecting, speechless at the meme; his panel scoots away to tell the other robots about what he just experienced) WHERE DID THEY FIND THIS?*"
— Belphegor's reaction to Baxter displaying a meme video.

## Trivia

* He is based on the demon of the same name, who is a traditionally depicted as an entity who seduces humanity by creating ingenious inventions that will allow them to become wealthy, and is often depicted as one of the seven princes of Hell, representing the Deadly Sin of Sloth.
	+ Belphegor's throne (which also serves as a hoverchair) resembles a futuristic toilet. This is a reference to the common depiction of Belphegor using a toilet as his throne. In demonology, it is believed that Belphegor must be worshipped on a toilet, and he prefers his followers' offerings to be their own excrement.
* His theme song would be "Couch Potato (Main)" by James Philip Corbin, Aleksandrs Hromcovs, and Molly Jackson.
* Every Ringleader is based around a particular circus act, Belphegor himself being based around animal tamers, largely due to making Hellhounds wear shock collars and keeping his denizens in a constant state of depression and delirium.
	+ Additionally, each Ringleader is themed after a genre of music, Belphegor's being synthwave and chillhop.
* Belphegor is a massive sci-fi nerd and has a hyperfixation on science fiction, so much that he styled his entire livelihood around it.
* Belphegor's design in Season 5 is an obvious homage to HAL-9000, the main antagonist of the 1968 film *2001: A Space Odyssey*. Blitzø even references HAL when he asks Belphegor why the King of Sloth became the "sexy robot voice from the space movie".
* Whenever Belphegor is confused or surprised, he emits a sound similar to a dial-up modem connecting.
* In earlier versions of the series, Belphegor was depicted as an obese, demonic neckbeard who simply wore a robotic suit of armor.
* In one draft of "System Reboot", Belphegor was going to assume a giant, robotic, spider-like "Full Demon Form" that resembled a building-sized Scavenger Unit and fight Baxter and his crew personally. The idea was scrapped because the creators felt that Belphegor was the kind of villain who should never engage in combat as it goes against his position as the King of Sloth, and because he views fighting as beneath someone of his intelligence.
* He is a closeted fanboy of Verosika Mayday and dances to her music in his private quarters when no one is around.
* Wally Wackford claims to work for Belphegor.
* His favorite music is synthwave and Lofi hip hop.
* His favorite snacks were cotton candy-flavored potato chips, pizza (especially pineapple pizza), and I-Scream (Hell's version of ice cream).
* Belphegor never leaves his fortress for anything, choosing instead to send a hologram drone to locations where he is needed, like a video call.
* According to *Belphe-Tech's* website, Belphegor once attempted to annex the Wrath Ring.
* One of Belphegor's founded brands, Hellcord, is a clear parody of Discord.
* According to a plaque on Elevator 666, Belphegor had a hand in constructing the elevator.
* The *Helluva Boss* episode "Ozzie's" implies that Belphegor owned a business known as "Sleepy Pillz".
	+ The episode "The Circus" also reveals that he manufactures anti-depressants called "Happy Pills", which Stolas takes every morning.
* Belphegor originally rode around on a Segway, rather than a hoverchair.
* Belphegor serves a counterpart and foil to Baxter.
	+ While they are both extremely intelligent, Baxter invents technology for the purpose of advancing science, while Belphegor invented technology purely for the convenience of himself and to corrupt others while not giving a solitary fuck about the advancement of science itself.
	+ Baxter is very active, bombastic, and full of energy, often spending sleepless nights conducting experiments by himself with little assistance from Crymini, while Belphegor was lazy, cold, and had robotic servants or slaves create his inventions for him.
	+ Baxter shares a genuine friendship with his intern, Crymini, as well as his robotic servants, regardless of being rather bossy towards them. Conversely, Belphegor was apathetic towards his robotic servants, frequently having them create his inventions and serve him in a demeaning manner, and was no better to his demonic servants, stripping them of their free will by converting them into robotic slaves.
* According to the series' creators, Belphegor is really into NFTs and A.I. art, and would be "NFT bros" with Mammon
