Valentino is one of the secondary antagonists of the animated black comedy musical series, Hazbin Hotel.
He is an Overlord in Hell who owns Hell's Pornography industry, the on & off boyfriend of Vox, as well as Angel Dust's arch-nemesis and abusive boss who would regularly sexually abuse him.
He was voiced by Joel Perez.
What Makes Him A Hate Sink?[]
- Considering the fact that he's a sinner demon, he obviously committed some horrible and unforgivable crimes that earned him a spot in Hell, which shows that he was already a terrible person before he died.
- He seems to be rather verbally abusive to Velvette, as he would constantly tell her that her cooking is horrible, although the actual series implies that they are actually neutral at best.
- He is rather abusive to his employee, Angel Dust, as the prequel comic reveals that he rarely lets him leave his studio. To make this even worse, in the music video ADDICT, it's made abundantly clear that Valentino really just sees him as a sex object that he sexually abuses and has raped.
- To make Valentino's abuse of Angel Dust even worse, it seems that his horrible abuse of Angel Dust left him with PTSD, and it's also revealed he's not above torturing him for sick kinks, as Angel mentions in "Welcome to Heaven" that during one of his filming's, Valentino put him through waterboarding.
- He throws a tantrum like a baby when he finds out Angel is staying at the Hazbin Hotel and aims to just barge into the hotel with a gun to kill everyone inside it. He is thankfully called out and stopped by Vox. This scene is partly played for laughs, but mostly just shows how much of an unhinged manchild he is.
- He sends several of texts of threats on Angel Dust to tell him to go back to the studio while making fake apologies possibly to manipulate him to come back.
- In Episode 4 "Masquerade," he greets Charlie by non-consensually licking her arm and then suggesting that she should work for him to shoot porn. This makes Charlie incredibly uncomfortable and declines his offer.
- It is also worth noting that Charlie is the Princess of Hell, making him also unawarely risk his own life by attempting to have Charlie in his studio.
- After Charlie accidentally sets his movie set on fire, Valentino calls Angel into his dressing room where he proceeds to repeatedly hit and assault Angel, while also breaking him emotionally by reminding Angel that he owns him due to a binding contract and that there's nothing that he can do about it. Valentino then orders Angel to get rid of Charlie from the movie set.
- Charlie witnesses this horrific ordeal and becomes so furious that she is about to go into full demon mode and punish Valentino by beating him up, but is stopped when Angel tells her to leave, showing just how much Val has broken him to the point where he has to defend his abuser.
- After Charlie leaves, he then forces Angel to do multiple pornography films against his will, leaving him broken down and traumatized.
- While at a sex club called "Consent" trying to convince a girl to work for him, he encounters Angel Dust and Niffty, with Valentino showing interest in having the latter have a role in his films. When Angel tells Valentino to leave them alone, he uses his chains on Angel and hit him when he stood up to him, saying that he would make Angel pay for what he did the next day at the studio.
- So far, he completely lacks any redeeming traits that Alastor, Vox, Velvette, and even Adam at least have, making him easily one of the most detestable antagonists in the entire series. Even other characters in the series seem to despise him, such as Husk, Cherri Bomb, and especially Charlie. Only Vox and Velvette seem to tolerate him and consider him their friend, but even then they are constantly annoyed by his temper tantrums. Cherri has a good reason for calling him a dickhead and she's not wrong there at all.
- While he has a few comedic moments such as his tantrum in episode 2, considering the thought of Lucifer having sex with Adam in the Season 1 finale to be "interesting," and his overall stupidity, he is otherwise taken completely seriously.
Trivia[]
- While he is currently a Hate Sink, this could change once the show's second season releases and if his brand of villainy becomes a little more fun to watch than unpleasant. That and, if his comedic moments get a little more pronounced.
