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, beige-skinned and dapper humanoid deer-themed sinner demon who is usually seen with a broad smile full of sharp, golden teeth inside. He is at around the same height as his rival,Vox, with the two standing at approximately 7 feet tall. His hair is a hot 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 his head are a pair of large, black-tipped hair tufts, which evoke the ears of a deer.

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

Alastor wears a red pinstriped coat with a darker high collar and long sleeves with brighter-colored cuffs, 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 wears 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 wears over his right eye. He 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[]

At first glance, Alastor is shown to be friendly and charismatic, but he is clearly callous, sadistic, vile, ruthless, and extremely violent. 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 amusement 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 cares extremely little for any form of love or even anything for the sake of passion, 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 amusement, as he did with Vaggie in the pilot.

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 himself to be sadistic, 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 having to promise that she won't ask him 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 facingAdam during their battle against the Exorcists.

Despite his sadistic 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. He has also greeted Zestial (the ancient and well-respected Sinner Overlord).

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 fromRosie.

Biography[]

Past[]

Alastor was born around the early 1890s to the early 1900s. Alastor had been mentioned to be a "mama's boy" and loved his mother dearly. He was also close to a woman namedMimzy who died around the 1920s; Mimzy's soul was also damned, and still occasionally associates with him, usually when she offends another powerful demon and needs money or protection.

Upon reaching adulthood, he became a cannibalistic serial killer and radio host, around the time radio was beginning to gain popularity, probably in the early 20th century.

Around 1933, he murdered another victim and used their blood to summon a demon namedRosie, with whom he made a deal: when he died and went to Hell, he would become an extremely powerful being; in exchange, his soul would belong to Rosie, and he would obey all her commands until she considered her debt paid, at which point his soul would be returned to him.

The next evening, Alastor was going to bury the body of one of his victims, but the blood from the corpse caught the attention of a deer hunter's dog passing by. The dog began to bark, and the owner, before looking through his rifle scope, let it loose and spotted Alastor just as he stopped in front of a tree whose branches made him look like a deer. The hunter shot him, and the bullet pierced his skull, killing him instantly.

When Alastor appeared in Hell, he possessed unimaginable power due to his deal withRosie prior to his death, stronger than that of any mortal before him as he was the strongest Sinner residing in Hell. 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 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 circa 1970s) and Niffty. Alastor made it known to these individuals he hated having his own soul owned by another; simply mentioning this (as Husk did once) caused him to fly into rage and threaten a horrific and brutal death upon Husk when he pointed that Alastor's in his own debt.

In "It's a Deal", it is revealed that Vox and Alastor were once acquainted. When Vox was growing in power, he was inspired by Al, and idolized him due to his influence. In turn, Alastor respected Vox and considered him to be nearly his equal in terms of reputation.

When they were at a local bar, Vox had requested Alastor to join him, offering the chance to "Rule Hell together". Instead of considering Vox's offer, Al laughed in his face, and mocked him, believing that needing assistance made overlords "pathetic" and "weak", before rescinding his own beliefs of Vox being near his level.

Vox was hurt by his words, and tried to explain himself, by claiming they were friends. Alastor, while belittling him, replied that the concept of friends does not exist in Hell. Vox eventually snapped because of Al's rejection, and in a fit of rage, started a battle between him and his former idol. Alastor [who was more powerful than Vox, at the time] won the fight with little effort, causing Vox to be publicly humiliated. This would cause Vox to develop an intense hatred for the Radio Demon, thus starting their long-lasting rivalry.

For unknown reasons, Rosie made Alastor go off the air for seven years before the events of the series, causing rumors he was killed byExorcists during an Extermination. Due to this, it created a power vacuum that allowed the Vees to become more influential in Hell.

Hazbin Hotel[]

Pilot Episode[]

After watchingCharlie'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.

WhenSir 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.

Season 1[]

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 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'sstatus 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, and has to "try better than that next time."

Soon afterwards, the Hotel's staff decides that, for Pentious' redemption to be genuine, he must lose all of his villainous equipment, including theEgg Boiz, 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 Boiz to watch the door: however, one catches the elevator to the meeting room on accident.

The meeting is interrupted byVelvette, 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 Boiz.

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 byMimzy'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 leaderAdam 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 OverlordRosie. 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.

Season 2[]

Alastor continues to help at the hotel, however he refuses to help Vaggie with welcoming new guests. His cane is still broken.

His rivalry with Lucifer continues, and after he mocks him for how he fled during his fight against Adam, Alastor decides to resign from the hotel. Then he goes to visit Rosie and tells her that he quit. She tells him he can't do that and it is revealed that she owns his soul and that the reason Alastor has been helping the hotel is on her orders. Then she sings a song in which she refers to him as her pet.

Alastor storms off, cursing Rosie. before having an idea. He challenges Vox to a fight where he mocks his insecurities and how he would be nothing without Velvette and Valentino. Nifty rushes to help Alastor along with Husk and they fight against Velvette and Valentino, while Alastor takes care of Vox. Finally, when Valentino threatens Nifty with death, Alastor surrenders in exchange for Husk and Nifty being released and Vox leaving Charlie alone. Vox accepts and celebrates his victory by publicly humiliating Alastor, as his prisoner for now. It was revealed Alastor let himself to be capture so that he could sabotage the Vee's master plan, which ended up in a success, as well as to force Charlie to acknowledge Vox as the strongest sinner alive, allowing him to free himself from his deal with Rosie.

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 isnot 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.

• Demonic Power: After Alastor's deal with Rosie, he was granted immeasurable amounts of demonic power upon his rebirth in Hell. Hence his deal with, Alastor is the most powerful Sinner in all of Hell, with such power he was able to instantly overthrow legions of powerful Overlords in a single night, in "It's a Deal" it was revealed that Alastor had quite easily beatenVox in his prime state before publicly humiliating him for his own entertainment; Vaggie even regarded him as one of Hell's most powerful entities. Vivziepop has even outright stated that among some of the higher entities in Hell, she does not know who would win in a direct confrontation between Alastor andPrince Stolas, proving that the power of the Radio Demon rivals even that of Demonic Royalty.
• 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.
• Tentacle Generation: One of Alastor's most prominent abilities is his ability to summon tentacles, from any surface and even from his body.
• Duplication: Like with Lucifer, Alastor has been shown to be able to have multiple versions of himself, thought only through song, they are acknowledged by the characters in "Dad beat Dad" when singing against Lucifer.

• Umbrakinesis: He can use and manipulate the shadows and darkness to his desires, either using it to get around, create creatures, generate protection, have flickering fire-looking shadows surround him as in "The Show Must Go On" when telling adam "YOU'RE SLOPPY".
  • Life Creation: Alastor has been shown to be able to create shadow minions by simply snapping his fingers.
  • Barrier Generation: When the war started in "The Show Must Go On", trying shielding the battlefield and Making most exterminators crash into it, Alastor generated a giant shadow barrier around the hotel and it's surrounding property.
  • Teleportation: He uses his shadow to get around and teleport from one area to another one an instant.
  • Voodoo Doll Creation: He can create seemingly sentient and incredibly unhinged little voodoo/imp looking creatures.
  • Tentacle Creation: Alastor has demonstrated the ability to create dark eldritch-looking tentacles on numerous occasions, they are even potent enough to crush vehicles with ease (such as Pentious' airship), mutilate ordinary Sinners with ease, and even harm fellow overlords such asThe Vees, demonstrated in their battle.
  • Shadow Animation: His shadow seems to have a mind of its own, or maybe shows on it's face what he thinking in his head and other seemingly sentient shadows.

  • 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.

• Technokinesis: While not as potent as characters such as Vox, Alastor has demonstrated a degree of technology manipulation. Alastor's presence on camera is enough to cause the visuals to instantly distort, Alastor was also able to intercept Vox's own computer in his lair even after the power had gone out in "Stayed Gone". In "Dad beat Dad" Alastor was able to cause the lights within the Hotel's exteror to become inverted. To an even grander extent in "It's a Deal" Alastor demonstrated even greater control over technology as he was able to speak through multiple VoxTek devices despite it being conventionally foreign technology to the Radio Demon.

  • Aerokinesis: When trying to make a deal with Charlie in the pilot and succeeding to do so in the pilot, he generates powerful winds and it's not just how he makes deals since it didn't happened when he made a deal with Vaggie.
• High Intelligence: Alastor is shown to be quite a very cunning and intelligent individual, resulting in him accruing a large amount of power through his tricks and deal-making, a few examples are when he found a way to tear apart and trap a soul prior to developing his demonic powers and when tricked Vox into overloading with the amount of anger onto himself, causing a blackout from his hypnotic broadcasting.

Trivia[]

• In Greek, the name "Alastor" means "Spirit of Vengeance".
• It was stated that Alastor was from New Orleans, Louisiana when he was alive, and he was an only child.
• Alastor was confirmed to be asexual by Vivziepop. This is backed up when he is referred to as an "Ace in the hole" byRosie and is seen disliking Angel Dust's sexual remarks in the pilot. Despite this, Vivziepop doesn't mind if Alastor is shipped with any of the other characters, since asexual people can and do date/marry others.
• According to Vivziepop, Alastor dislikes being touched, although he appears to have no problem with touching others as he does so multiple times in the pilot. That being said, he may curb this disliking by wearing his gloves.
  • Despite this however, he didn't seem to mind Charlie hugging him or Niffty placing a roach crown on his head in "The Show Must Go On". This may indicate that he allows people to touch him if he chooses to let them.
• Alastor's deer-demon appearance and his tendency toward cannibalism appear to be based on a monster from North American folklore called thewendigo. This had been semi-confirmed by Vivzipop, who said that while Alastor is not explicitly one, he "definitely has Wendigo themes" and that she's very aware of the folklore.
• Vivziepop once stated that she doesn't see Alastor as a villain but more of an anti-hero. However, she stated this years before the show or even the pilot came out and was still in production, so this could have changed. It's also possible that Medrano was simply lying to keep Alastor's motivation ambiguous.
  • Vivziepop also said that Alastor's motivations and style of anti-heroism was similar toDexter Morgan. This could hint at the overlords that Alastor kidnapped and tortured were truly terrible people who likely deserved it, much like how Dexter targets bad and even worse people than himself.
    • One thing to note that currently as of writing this Alastor has no confirmed on screen or off screen kills of women on Earth. In fact the only confirmed kills he has on Earth are 2 white men. Now with Alastor being confirmed a mixed-race Creole, it could give way to the possibility of the true reason to why Alastor became a serial killer, wither it be a hatred of men or wanting to kill racists' or both due to the time period he lived in where societal sexism against women and racism were at it's highest. But as of now its just pure speculation until canon evidence.
• Alastor is likely the strongest Overlord, this is evident by Vaggie outright stating that Alastor's power far transcend that of any mortal soul/Sinner in Hell (which is relevant due to Zestial and Vox being confirmed to be around in that time) and Alastor has demonstrated the most feats of power out of any of them, Vox's secret message found in stayed gone heavily implies that he is afraid of Vox; Despite being "scared" for Zestial he had no problem disrespecting him to his face and is currently the only known Overlord to have taken out another set of Overlords, of which are regarded as "big hitters" by Mimzy.
• Fans theories that all previous overlords (and other sinners) were imprisoned and tortured by alastor. It was further implied by mimsy that they were all imprisoned in his Radio towers across pentagram City.
• Viviepop stated she does not know who would win in a fight betweenStolas and Alastor.
• Alastor and Vox were implied to have been old comrades (possibly close friends) due to the fact that Alastor regarded Vox as "Old pal" and Vox had a picture of Alastor, this would have been otherwise impossible unless Alastor himself allowed it as we see that camera's are incapable of fully viewing Alastor, the latter however is potentially incorrect as it was taken in a black and white style signifying and ol-camera of which Alastor seems to be more fond of.
• When asked who would win between Alastor and Lucifer Vivziepop stated that Lucifer is far more powerful than him intrinsically due to his Angelic Heritage which grants him power above every Demon, however she did add that Alastor is still not to be trifled with.
• Perhaps shown by his old-fashioned manners and tone, Alastor dislikes modern technology that was created after he died. This is also a reason why he doesn't get along withVox, but it's now possible this hatred of modern technology stems from Alastor and Vox's falling out.
• Despite his sadistic personality, Alastor seems to hate rapists, or at least those who abuse others weaker than them. As seen in the comicA Day in the Afterlife, where he murders the owner of a butcher shop for trying to assault a sheep-like demon lady. Vizziepop also claims that he has a taboo against killing children, although he is willing to spank or otherwise harshly punish those who misbehave.
• It was confirmed that Alastor is a mama's boy.
• Alastor shares a surprising number of similarities withAdam, to the point he could be called his counterpart from Hell.
  • They were both humans before becoming the beings they are in the present.
  • Both reached a position of power through massacres (Alastor murdering other Overlords and Adam with exterminations).
  • Both had a dark past as humans (Alastor as a serial killer and Adam as a toxic man).
  • Both are related to a possible solution to overpopulation (Alastor with the Hazbin Hotel and Adam with the exterminations).
  • Neither of them really believes in solutions to the problems of infernal overpopulation, they only participate for their own entertainment.
  • Neither of them believes it is possible to rehabilitate a demon, maintaining that he only lives once and that is the opportunity to make things right. In addition to the fact that both delight in tormenting sinners. That said, Alastor doesn't interfere with Charlie's goals, while Adam seeks to destroy it.
  • Both enjoy killing demons.
  • They are both very narcissistic, though Adam's ego far outweighs Alastor's.
  • They both have a female friend with whom they seem to get along quite well (Alastor with Niffty and Rosie, and Adam with Lute).
• In the first season, Alastor avoids making deals for souls.
  • He makes Vaggie promise to never associate him with television again.
  • He asks Charlie for a non-lethal favor in the deal.
• Some fans believe Alastor was inspired byThe Princess and the Frog's main antagonistDr. Facilier due to both having voodoo powers and shadow friends, that use blacklights when singing. However Vivziepop confirmed that she made Alastor beforeThe Princess and the Frog came out. Funnily enough, Dr. Facilier's voice actor, Keith David, also voices Husk inHazbin Hotel.
• Some fans theorized that Alastor may have been the famousAxeman of New Orleans in life due to his hometown, his love of jazz, and his past as a serial killer. But Vivziepop has since confirmed that Alastor is not based on any serial killer from history, instead describing him as someone who shares some similarities with the fictionalDexter Morgan. Others theorize, given that Alastor's entire history is unknown, that he could have been the son of the Axeman, but this is more of a crazy hypothesis than something possible.
• Alastor has a coffee mug with the phrase "Oh Deer" on it as a reference to himself, albeit indirect.
  • He also has one with the phrase "Duck Season" on it, contrasting Lucifer, who has a mug with the phrase "Deer Season" on it.
