Charlie Morningstar

Alastor, also known as The Radio Demon, is a sinner demon and one of the many powerful Overlords of Hell. He is one of the main protagonists of Hazbin Hotel.

He is the wickedly charismatic demon who has offered to assist Charlie Morningstar in her endeavors, albeit for his own amusement.

Before being condemned to Hell, Alastor used to be a radio host in New Orleans who acted as a sadistic serial killer at night until he was shot by a hunter when he was mistaken for a deer.

In "It's A Deal", it is revealed that Alastor's soul is owned by Rosie, who was responsible for making him the strongest sinner, and not only the reason behind his 7-year absence, but also the one who sent him to the Hotel. After quitting the Hotel, and in a plan to escape his deal, he faced the Vees and ended up making a deal with Vox, who became his captor.

In "Curtain Call", Alastor uses his deal with Charlie to have her call Vox the strongest sinner in Hell, breaking his deal with Rosie, and takes advantage of Vox's lack of regard for others' personal space to ensure he lays his hands on Charlie, having made him agree not to, breaking out of their deal as well. He then rejoins the Hotel, having seemingly begun to truly find it amusing watching Charlie.

Appearance

Alastor is a rather tall, slim, beige-skinned and dapper humanoid deer sinner demon who is usually seen with a broad smile full of sharp, yellow-gold 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 black, 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, and a small, oval-shaped, black-rimmed red monocle which he wears over his right eye. He also carries a thin staff with a sentient, vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice.

During his battle with Adam in "The Show Must Go On", his staff was broken and he received a slash to the chest, leaving an open gash that hasn't healed. Both his staff and gash are stitched up by green stitches he formed.

Full Demon

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. In one scene in "Dad Beat Dad", Alastor has two sets of horns on his head. His sclera turn black while his pupils turn into the shape of radio dials. Across multiple parts of his suit, and the ends of his mouth, also gain green stitches along them, while the red of his shoes split to form hoofed toes.

Human

As a human, Alastor had olive skin, curly dark brown hair, and brown eyes which he wore over a pair of small, black-framed oval-shaped glasses. He wore a white dress shirt, a red-striped waistcoat with small gold buttons, a red tie with a gold necktie clip, brownish-black pants, and white dress-shoes with black tips and heels.

Pilot

In the pilot his design was almost identical, albeit with a more red color scheme, and his pants are instead a dark red. His shoes and coat lapels were also completely black.

Personality

Alastor stands out from many of the more chaotic residents of hell for his well maintained amiable persona. He gives a first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanently wide grin on his face at all times. His behavior, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to an old-fashioned radio announcer and speaks with a transatlantic accent, often using quaint anachronisms such as "the picture show" and refers to Charlie as a "charming demon belle".

This playful dandyish exterior, however, obscures a much darker side to him - one with high levels of self-importance - and he will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his very particular values or expectations. He is noted to be narcissistic, with his love for himself being stated that no one else can measure up to it, and he does not see many people quite up to his level.[29]

Alastor is described as a man of duality.[30] He values good manners,[31] affability and intelligence very highly in others, and will actively look down on those who do not meet his standards,[32] however he will often play fast and loose with these arbitrary rules in regards to himself and his own conduct.

Alastor has an odd sense of morality, which is described as "not normal",[33] and has been noted to be quite sadistic, even cannibalistic, devouring lesser demons or those that have incurred his anger. Despite this, he keeps close friends with the other cannibals of Hell, including the denizens at the Cannibal Town.

Although he shows a reluctance to truly help at the Hotel, Alastor rarely displays concern for the residents and has grown fond of some of them. Most notably, he developed a close bond with Niffty, whom he sees as a daughter figure and defends from being killed by Valentino.

Following his defeat with Adam, Alastor remained distant from Charlie's requests to help at the Hotel due to his frustration and humiliation, in addition to the mockery from Lucifer and Rosie.

Alastor is a cold and manipulative man who seizes every opportunity to make a larger move later. To free himself from Rosie's deal, he subtly tricks Vox into becoming his prisoner, in exchange for never laying hands on Charlie. During his captivity, Alastor slowly manipulates Vox to inflate his ego, distance himself from the Vees, and ultimately use him as leverage to free himself from Rosie, as well as break their agreement when he touches Charlie's shoulders, mistaking him for a breach of contract. With his newfound freedom, he convinces Rosie to repair his staff, and he will help destroy the Might of Lilith.

Demon transformation - Alastor has demonstrated the ability to turn into a much larger and more powerful Demon form.

Flexibility - Alastor can contort his body into numerous unnatural poses.[14] As shown in several instances, he is able to fully rotate his head and twist it back. In “Weapon of Mass Distraction”, Alastor was able to noticeably bend and twist his legs in several odd angles to use them like his arms, contorting them in a way that should have broken them and then snapping them back into place.

Staff - Alastor's power mostly comes from his staff. His staff was broken by Adam in "The Show Must Go On" and his powers got weakened so Alastor asks Rosie to fix his staff in "It's A Deal", and shown in the same episode whenever he tried to activate some of his powers against the Vees, he couldn't access them. Under a new deal, Rosie decides to fix his staff in "Curtain Call" if he agrees to help to save Pentagram City from Might of Lilith's explosion.
