## Biography

Angel Dust seemingly has to work at both Hazbin Hotel and Porn Studios, but he has yet to be sure which he should mainly focus. When Jin was talking to Angel Dust along with the hotel staffs, they also watched the news about the King of Iron Fist Tournament, which is opened by head of the Mishima Zaibatsu named Heihachi along with his trusted bodyguard named Sir Pentious. Even though he doesn't take Sir Pentious seriously as a threat, but seeing how Sir Pentious is on the tournament, he still didn't know that he'd better join the tournament likely to defeat him or not. Later that time, he took a message from Cherri Bomb that she wants him to join the Manji Clan, informs about it, and even to join the tournament, but he has yet to know about the Manji Clan furtherly. Therefore, Angel needs to ask Yoshimitsu, who is the leader of it. However, Yoshimitsu, out of nowhere, just entered the Hazbin Hotel, then he talked to Angel Dust about that time Angel did the turf war with Cherri Bomb against Sir Pentious. Speaking of, he also informed Angel about the Manji Clan. As Yoshimitsu is a thief who likes to help, he'd also like to become another partner in crime with Angel Dust as they're the ones who don't hurt the innocent and hate the evil demons. Angel Dust then looks interested of the Manji Clan, turns Yoshimitsu to be partner in crime with him, and eventually joined it and the tournament after Yoshimitsu offered him and Cherri to help winning the tournament together. Moreover, Yoshimitsu also recruits both of them to help defeating every evil person in the world.

## Trivia

### General

* The name Anthony may come from the word "antonia", which means "priceless/praiseworthy and or beautiful".
* "Angel Dust" is Angel's chosen all-encompassing persona name, and one he uses exclusively in place of his actual name. It is intended as multipurpose for both his drag queen persona and his sex-work persona. It is also a possible reference to his mode of death, a drug overdose.
* Angel's birthday was once under some ambiguity. Vivziepop felt that Angel's birthday was April 1st, although at the time she couldn't say for certain.
	+ However the following year she wished him a happy birthday on April 1st in another Tweet.
	+ On April 1st, 2023, the official *Hazbin Hotel* twitter released a sketch saying it is Angel's birthday on April 1st.
* Angel has a drug addiction problem, which was the main cause for his death - particularly, an overdose of angel dust. The same drug he was seen purchasing in the pilot.
* Angel’s fluffy chest and femme-embracing style is often a point of confusion among fans of the show, as well as characters within the show itself, as Angel pushes the fluff up into an almost breast-like formation. Vivziepop clarified within pilot development streams that Angel is, in fact, a cisgendered man who is just proud of his androgynous look and enjoys playing around with that, in both his day-to-day attire and his drag persona.
* Angel Dust has one false gold tooth, a trait he shares with Valentino, Crimson, and Striker.

### Tekken X Hazbin Hotel

* Before the "ADDICT" music video influence, the biography of him revealed that Angel Dust was originally meant to be friends with Valentino. However after this influence, this friendship was dropped as the music video reveals that Valentino is abusive to him by taking most of the earnings he makes for work and has forcibly kissed and raped Angel several times, enough to give him some form of possible PTSD.
* The following of Angel Dust's sub-bosses that he will face:
	+ **3rd stage:** Arackniss, Kuma, Kunimitsu, or Egg Boi
	+ **6th stage:** Bryan, Henroin, Kazuya, or Valentino
