Alastor (Hazbin Hotel) (2024)

✓

Alastor, also known by his title The Radio Demon, is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Angel Dust) of the adult animated musical series Hazbin Hotel. He is the archenemy of Vox, the boss of Husk and Niffty, and the arch-rival of Charlie's father, Lucifer Morningstar.

A former serial killer in life, Alastor is one of Hell's Overlords, widely feared for his extraordinary power and sad*stic sense of humor. After mysteriously disappearing seven years ago, Alastor returns to help Charlie in her efforts of redeeming sinners and sending them to Heaven, although he doesn't believe in the cause and is simply there for his amusem*nt; however, it's later revealed Alastor is using the Hazbin Hotel as a way of achieving freedom from the unknown entity that owns his soul and achieve his own goals.

He was voiced by Edward Bosco in his normal voice (who also voices Striker in Helluva Boss) and by Gabriel C. Brown in his singing voice in the pilot, and is voiced by Amir Talai in the series proper.

Alastor, also known as the Radio Demon, plays a complex role in Hazbin Hotel. He is a cunning and manipulative character who, despite his sad*stic nature, is willing to help and defend the hotel.

Why is Alastor referred to as the Radio Demon?

Alastor is referred to as the 'Radio Demon' because of his unique way of showcasing his power and chaos for all sinners in hell to witness, much like a radio broadcast. This nickname also stems from his past life, where he was a radio talk show host during the early 20th century. Despite his terrifying reputation, Alastor is known to be quite charming, often using old-timey phrases and manners. However, don't be fooled by his charisma; he's a force to be reckoned with in the underworld of Hazbin Hotel!

How does Alastor threaten to end Vox's reign?

Alastor, also known as the Radio Demon, doesn't shy away from a good showdown. When it comes to Vox, he's no different. Alastor threatens to end Vox's reign by overpowering him in a musical face-off, 'Stayed Gone'. He shuts down Vox's signal, taking over the broadcast to show himself on all the screens. Alastor's old-fashioned manners and tone, along with his dislike for modern technology, make this victory even more impressive. Despite his lack of desire for power, Alastor isn't afraid to step up and challenge those who cross his path in Hazbin Hotel.

Appearance[]

Alastor is a rather tall, slim and beige-skinned dapper demon who is usually seen with a broad smile full of sharp, yellow teeth inside. He is at around the same height as his rival, Vox, with the two standing at approximately 7 feet.

His hair is a pinkish-red which is styled into a cropped, angled bob cut with black ends, an undercut on the back, and small black antlers protruding from the crown. Atop of his head are a pair of large, black-tipped hair tufts which evokes the ears of a dear.

His eyes have red sclera with brighter-colored irises and slit-like pupils, and with his upper-eyelids being dark red with the color extending to his eyebrows, mimicking eyeshadow. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he also has red hoofed-toes and red fingers.

Alastor wears a red pin-striped coat with a darker high collar and long sleeves with brighter-colored cuffs, and white-trimmed darker-red lapels and the hem being slightly ragged. In addition, he also accessorizes with a knotted black bowtie with a bright red center on the upper-front. Under his coat, he wears a rather long, untucked bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest.

He also wore black dress pants with cuffs matching his coat, red pointed-toed dress shoes with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and a small, oval-shaped, black-rimmed red monocle which he wore over his right eye.

Alastor also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice.

When in his full demon form, Alastor's body grows larger and limbs become longer, his neck gains extra joints, and his horns grow in size. His sclera turn black with his pupils turn into the shape of radio dials. His suit and ends of his mouth also gain stitches along them.

Personality[]

Alastor behaves friendly and nice, but he is clearly callous, sad*stic, vile, ruthless and extremely violent, but otherwise his behavior, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to an old-fashioned radio announcer; for instance, when he refers to modern television as a "picture show" and refers to Charlie as "a charming demon belle". Vaggie describes him as "a violent monster of chaos", which is why he is dangerous.

Alastor likes to showcase his power and carnage for every sinner in hell to witness, hence his title the "Radio Demon". However, he is also fully aware that there are other demons and entities that rival him in terms of power and isn't reckless.

Despite being extremely powerful, he tends to get bored and lack inspiration. He seeks entertainment which he still gets out of watching the suffering of others. But to achieve that, he is willing to have (or feign) a charming, supportive and kind attitude. He is always seen smiling and is creepily cheerful and upbeat all of the time, as he believes that it shows power and dominance over others. If a rival were to frown, he would see them as weak.

Alastor dismisses the idea that redemption is possible. Nevertheless, he still provides the hotel with a staff, and protects Charlie's business from outside threats. However, he does very little to mask his true nature and how evil he really is, even stating that, if he wanted to harm anyone in the hotel, he would've done that already. In addition, his help is for his own personal amusem*nt rather than Charlie's idealism, or at least so he claims. He has also expressed a desire to see sinners struggle in attempts to repent for their misdeeds, only for them to repeatedly fail miserably.

Alastor is asexual and aromantic, as seen with him being thrown off and bluntly rejecting Angel Dust's offer of sex twice. Due to having died in the 1930s and not being interested on keeping up with recent times, he is not even aware of this and believes he just hasn't found the right woman yet, with Rosie's "ace in the hole" pun flying over his head. Despite this, he isn't above slapping people on the ass just to anger them for his own amusem*nt, as he did with Vaggie.

He is known to be a gourmet, and as such, refuses to eat processed foods like canned meat, Easy-Mac, or ketchup. His favorite food is venison. The prequel comic shows that civilians are terrified of him; passersby avoid him when he appears, and visibly nervous merchants give him what he wants without commenting. His only true friends during this time are a pack of bird-like demons who are also cannibals. The story shows he does have some decency, rescuing a lamb-demon from being killed - and possibly raped - by a butcher. The comic also suggests he is disgusted by Vox, possibly because he sees television as difficult competition for radio. He is also confirmed to have loved his mother dearly when he was alive, something he mentions to the Hotel Staff by saying how she used to show him how to cook.

In the series itself, Alastor shows to be sad*stic, very cunning, and manipulative. While he is willing to help the Hazbin Hotel and use his power to defend it, he often acts with self-interest in mind, such as offering deals to Vaggie and Charlie for his own benefit (with Vaggie to promise that he won't have to deal with television again, and with Charlie for a single favor at a time of his choosing). Despite this, he is also willing to protect the Hotel, such as slaughtering a number of loan sharks who pursued Mimzy there. He even told Mimzy, a close friend of his, to leave for knowingly bringing trouble to the Hotel, telling her not to return unless she was genuinely interested in redemption. Even if it's for his own ends, Alastor is willing to fight to protect the Hazbin Hotel, even facing Adam during their battle against the Exorcists.

Despite his sad*stic nature, Alastor does express a warmer and friendlier side towards a few others. He is good friends with Mimzy, having known her since they were both alive and even hugging her upon meeting again. He also gets along well with fellow Overlord, Rosie, with the latter even stating that Alastor has never done her wrong before. The night before the Exorcist attack, Alastor even seemed to warm up to the hotel residents and enjoyed the celebration with them.

Following the battle against the Exorcists however, for the very first time, Alastor is seen visibly shaken and panicking after narrowly avoiding death at the hands of Adam. The thought of dying in a "heroic sacrifice" greatly unsettled him, causing Alastor to pivot his priorities to finding a way out of his deal and be free from whoever is controlling him.

Biography[]

Past[]

Alastor was born around the early 1890's to the early 1900's. Alastor had been mentioned to be a "mama's boy" and loved his mother dearly. He was also close to a woman named Mimzy who died around the same time; Mimzy's soul was also damned, and still occasionally associates with him, usually when she offends another powerful demon and needs money or protection.

When Alastor reached adulthood, he became a cannibalistic serial killer and radio talk show host around the time radio first became popular, likely early 20th century. The circ*mstances of his death have varied, as he was originally said to have been accidentally shot by a deer-hunter when burying the body of one of his victims, explaining his little antlers and the X on his forehead in his demon form, but given this was said before the release of the official series, it is implied to be outdated. Another source has stated he died in a dog-related incident.

When Alastor appeared in Hell, he possessed unimaginable power, stronger than that of any mortal before him. It was unknown what exactly led him to such strength. He wreaked havoc and committed atrocities only to broadcast them so that everyone could witness them. Eventually, despite only being in Hell a short time, he overthrew several Overlords who had ruled for centuries, assuming their territories and positions and becoming very powerful among the aristocracy of Hell. According to Mimzy, Alastor captured, imprisoned, and tortured these Overlords, broadcasting their screams over the airwaves, their ultimate fates remaining unknown.

As an Overlord, Alastor has enacted many Faustian contracts with many sinner demons, gaining possession of their souls and their servitude. Known victims of these contracts include Husk (a former Overlord who lost his soul and his title in a card game) and Niffty. Alastor lost his own soul to an unknown entity via such a contract; simply mentioning this (as Husk did once) caused him to fly into rage and threaten a horrific and brutal death upon Husk (very out-of-character for Alastor) should he ever mention it again.

For years on end, Alastor had a great rivalry with Vox, a TV-based Overlord whose soul was damned to Hell a few decades after Alastor's. According to Vox's partner Valentino, the two had a fight where Alastor "almost beat" Vox. The cause of this mutual hatred is that Vox invited Alastor into "his team", presumably The Vees, and then got enraged when the Radio Demon rejected the offer; additionally, a photograph in the Season 1 finale implies the two were partners before their falling-out. For unknown reasons, Alastor has mysteriously disappeared seven years before the events of the series, causing rumors he was killed by Exorcists during an Extermination. The specifics of why and how he disappeared from Hell are unknown, but it created a power vacuum that allowed the Vees to become more powerful and influential in Hell.

Hazbin Hotel[]

Pilot Episode[]

After watching Charlie's promotion of her hotel from a bar, and liking what he saw with a passion, he showed up at the hotel stating he wanted to help her out. He doesn't think it's possible to redeem demons, but he is bored and wants to watch the chaos of them trying to reform and repeatedly failing unfold. He then summoned two other demons - Niffty and Husk - so the hotel has more staff and gives her tips on how to improve.

When Sir Pentious arrives to attack the hotel staff, Alastor uses his powers to flawlessly defeat him and destroy his ship. The group then head on back to the hotel with Alastor changing the sign name from Happy Hotel to Hazbin Hotel.

Full Series[]

One week later, Alastor has made a purposefully-bad TV commercial for the hotel out of spite for having to tangle with TV, which he despises. In a later conversation with Vaggie, they make a deal where Alastor makes an actually good commercial in exchange for never doing anything TV-related ever again. At the end of the episode, everyone in Hell, including Alastor, finds out the next Extermination will happen in six months rather than one year.

Some time afterwards, Sir Pentious attacks yet again, with Alastor not even remembering who he is, despite the fact that they've fought numerous times according to Pentious. Once again, Alastor effortlessly defeats Pentious and destroys his ship, and then sends the snake-sinner flying once he tears off a small chunk of his coat. While returning from the tailor that fixed his coat, Alastor notices that Vox, who's just found out about his return, is running a TV broadcast where he denounces Alastor as a past-his-prime nobody that should be ignored. In the song "Stayed Gone", Alastor interrupts Vox with his radio broadcast and the two verbally fight, with Vox causing a Hell-wide blackout out of anger when Alastor reveals why Vox hates him. Alastor then ends the song by claiming "[he's] gonna make [Vox] wish that [he] stayed gone" and Hell's status quo is soon to change.

When Alastor returns to the hotel, he finds out Pentious is apparently remorseful and wants to give redemption a shot: he's seemingly apathetic, but taunts Pentious by burning the piece of coat he managed to tear off, knowing it must've meant a lot to the sinner. It's ultimately revealed that Pentious was Vox's spy, but then genuinely redeems himself once Vox refuses to help him. Alastor mocks Vox for giving the hotel its first real client.

Soon afterwards, the Hotel's staff decides that, for Pentious' redemption to be genuine, he must lose all of his villainous equipment, including the Egg Bois, his loyal minions. Vaggie tasks Alastor with taking care of them and he complies, although is angry he cannot kill them. He decides to go on a walk with them, where he encounters Zestial, a centuries-old Overlord who is feared just as much as the Radio Demon himself. The two go to an Overlord meeting together, with Alastor ordering the Egg Bois to watch the door: however, one catches the elevator to the meeting room on accident.

The meeting is interrupted by Velvette, a social media-focused Overlord that works with Vox and came to the meeting for him. She reveals that an Exorcist was killed in the last Extermination, something that shocks everyone present due to the belief angels are unkillable. She tries to goad the other Overlords into war, but Zestial refuses due to there not being enough information about the dead angel, with the other Overlords agreeing with him. Velvette eventually deduces that the leader of the Overlords, Carmilla Carmine, knows something about the Exorcist's death. When the meeting ends, Alastor tasks the Egg Boi that took part in the meeting to follow Carmilla and Zestial: when he returns, he confirms that Carmilla is the one who killed the Exorcist. Alastor finds that interesting, but decides to keep it secret for now. When he returns to the Hotel, Vaggie ultimately decides to let Pentious keep the Egg Bois.

Sometime later, Charlie decides to get help from her father Lucifer, the King of Hell, in hopes of him convincing Heaven's leadership to have a meeting with Charlie. Alastor is immediately enraged by Lucifer's presence for unknown reasons, and decides to spite him by pretending that he's Charlie's new father figure. They eventually have the quarreling song "Hell's Greatest Dad" where they rival for Charlie's attention, but are interrupted by Mimzy's sudden arrival. Husk talks to Alastor, having known for Mimzy long enough to know that if she came to Alastor, she's bringing trouble to the hotel: something quickly proven when a bunch of loan sharks arrive, Mimzy claiming she stole fifty thousand dollars, a car and then crashed it into the leader's girlfriend. Alastor engages the loan sharks in battle and quickly kills them all, before telling Mimzy to leave the Hotel due to bringing trouble.

When Charlie's meeting with Heaven goes horribly, Vaggie being revealed as a Fallen Angel and Exorcist leader Adam revealing he will attack the Hotel first in the next Extermination, Alastor talks to her in private. After briefly mocking her, Alastor proposes a deal where he'll reveal a secret in exchange for Charlie doing something for him in the future: she complies, and Alastor reveals Carmilla killed an Exorcist. Once this is done, the two leave the Hotel while Vaggie goes to Carmilla for help.

It's revealed Alastor and Charlie went to Cannibal Town, ruled by Alastor close friend, the Overlord Rosie. They ask for help against the Extermination and if they could use the Cannibals as an army; Rosie agrees, but says Charlie will first need to convince the Cannibals to help, especially an old and grumpy one named Susan. While she screws up at first, once she talks with Rosie about how she feels betrayed by Vaggie not revealing she's an angel earlier, she ultimately tries again and convinces the cannibals to fight against the Exorcists. As she does this, Alastor claims Charlie has potential that he could guide, to which Rosie agrees.

When it's time to finally fight the Exorcists, Alastor is tasked with battling Adam due to being the strongest one present besides Charlie, who's unwilling to use her full power. While he initially creates a massive shield around the Hotel's cliffside to prevent too many Exorcists from overcrowding the cannibals, Adam manages to destroy it with just one hit. The First Man and the Radio Demon then battle each other, where the latter mocks the former for his sloppy fighting style, but is ultimately defeated in one hit once Adam gets serious. Seriously injured, Alastor has no choice but to retreat, with Charlie guessing he's dead if Adam started attacking her soldiers.

After the Extermination is stopped, with Adam and Sir Pentious both dying in the process, Alastor retreats to his radio station. In his portion of the song "Finale", Alastor expresses his shock and anger that he almost died, and in what would be a "heroic sacrifice", no less. The fight with Adam left him more desperate then ever to break free from the deal that resulted in someone owning his soul, claiming he'll be the one "pulling all the strings" once he achieves his freedom. After recovering from his injuries, Alastor reveals his survival to the hotel crew, with everyone except Lucifer and Husk happy to see he's okay.

Powers & Abilities[]

Natural Abilities[]

• Demon Transformation: In flashbacks featured in the pilot, as well as in the official Alastor-centric comic, Alastor has demonstrated the ability to turn into a more powerful Demon form. He has also shown multiple Demonic Transformations throughout the series.
• Regeneration: All sinners have a high healing factor, it is unstated whether it is quick or takes a while but it is said to be really useful and well-working.
• Flexibility: Alastor can contort his body into numerous unnatural poses.
• Agility: In "The Show Must Go On," he dodges many of Adam's attacks with ease.
• Nigh-Immortality: Like with every Sinner, angelic steel is the only thing capable of killing Alastor, and thus he can survive every other type of attack. However, he is not invulnerable and can still take damage, even if it won't kill him.
• Self-Resurrection: As stated in old Live Streams, since sinners can only permanently die from angelic weapons, after "death" they would painfully and slowly come back to life until fully back healed unless harmed by an angelic weapons before dying, then they would come back with the wound/scar/harm from the weapon still on them, unable to heal it.
• High Durability: Sinners have very durable bodies, able to withstand extreme amounts of trauma and damage. Being shown in the pilot when Alastor destroyed Sir Pentious's ship, after they left, Sir Pentious crawled from the crater bruised but not dead.

Skillset[]

• Deal Making: Alastor is shown to be a deal-maker demon in the pilot, offering Charlie a deal in return for his help with the hotel, something she wisely turns down. Deal-maker demons like Alastor can increase their power by dealing in souls, which is a very powerful commodity in hell. So they’re seen as very manipulative and not to be toyed with. Deal-making is not something every demon can do, as such it is not to be taken lightly as it doesn’t generally work out well for the other party. This skill seems to be a common among Overlords. However, not all deals involve offering something in exchange for souls, so the demon offering a deal can change the exchange, such as offering something in exchange for a favor, as seen when Alastor makes a deal with Charlie for offering her information on how to kill an Exorcist in exchange for a favor from Charlie at a time of his choice. ___°
  • Soul Manipulation: Alastor has been shown to be able to produce "souls" when using his powers like when making a deal with Charlie, Shadow-like souls fly all over the room. He also threatened to rip Husker's soul apart and broadcast it everywhere as a warning.
• Manipulation & Acting: He is master at manipulation, he was able to convince his good persona throughout the whole series, he also knew building good relationships with Charlie Morningstar would benefit him greatly, when Lucifer arrived he knew he would attempt to fix his father-daughter bond that was lost so he specifically acted like a father simply to annoy Lucifer (as seen in "Hell's Greatest Dad") and still was able to build a decent relationship with Vaggie at the end of the series as she hugs him along with the others (- Husk and Lucifer) and he is exceptionally great at Acting and Stage Performing.
• Reality Warping: All throughout the show, Alastor has been able to distort reality in whatever area he's in, either using it for song purposes or to threaten and intimidate people. ___°Color Distortion: He is able to distort natural colors to inverted red, green and blue. He was also able to use this inside of Lucifer's tent dimension in the song "Hell's Greatest Dad". This ability was first shown in the pilot episode in the song "Alastor's Reprise".
• Sound Manipulation: He casually makes different sounds depending on the situation or need of using specific sounds and or effects. Mostly deer/Wendigo sounds, Radio screeching, static sounds, classic earlier 1930s show sounds (laugh track, applause, etc). ___°Symphokinesis° He produces old timey earlier 1900s music that sounds like it's broadcasted over a radio.

• Voice Manipulation: He can distort his voice, removing or adding the radio effect, making it sound demonic, or just sounding deeper than his normal voice.
• Chain Manipulation: When talking to Husk in the hallway, he makes a comment that gets under Alastor's skin which leads to Alastor conjuring a green glowing chain around Husk's neck.
• Manifestation: Using this ability frequently, Alastor conjures things like his microphone, a camera, and even other people. ___°Summoning: While mostly using it on those whose soul he owns like in the pilot when he summoned Husk and Niffty to the hotel. ___°Banishment: Just as easy as he can conjure things, he can make them disappear without a trace and there's slight speculation if he can do the same with people.
• Slight-Invisibility: In Alastor's backstory (Mimzy's description), while cornering an overlord, Alastor completely disappears out of sight when the street light continues going off and it isn't believed that he was teleporting since the style, speed, and way he teleports is completely different.
• Transmutation: At the end of the pilot, lightning hits the "Happy Hotel" sign and transforms it to "Hazbin Hotel" and Alastor takes credit for this in "Dad beat Dad" when telling Lucifer he was the one to come up with the idea so he was the cause of it changing. ___°Outfit Alteration: As shown in the pilot and in "Overture", Alastor can alter, create, and remove clothes with a simple snap.
• Shapeshifting: Thought shown only twice, once in the pilot and once in the show, Alastor has been shown to change shape into a tent-like form.
• Size Alteration: While protecting the hotel from the loan sharks, he grew to a giant and incredible size, devouring the goons with ease due to his size.
• Photokinesis: He can project bright light from the eye on his microphone, yellow light from his teeth, green or red light around him and the area, or make his any part of his body (especially his eyes) glow different colored light.
• Fragokinesis: When Sir Pentious ripped a tiny piece of fabric off of his coat in "Radio killed the Video Star" after getting his airship destroyed, Alastor generates a giant green explosion which sends Sir Pentious far away from the hotel and into the city.
• Pocket Dimension Creation: In the episode "Scrambled Eggs", it was shown that Alastor changed reality in his room to fade from normal a normal room into a bayou/swamp with its own fireflies.
• Radio Manipulation: While living, Alastor's profession was as a radio show host, and he continues his broadcasts in Hell, ensuring that Hell's denizens are aware of his activities over the airwaves, earning him the title of "The Radio Demon".
