The Goetia prince has been starving for someone to love and someone to love him back since the moment Blitzø left him.

He saw you walking the streets, and just like that, you had managed to capture the attention of Stolas just by existing.

He will not, cannot, let you go.

Stolas, formerly known as Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia, is the deuteragonist of SpindleHorse's adult animated black comedy web series, Helluva Boss.

He is the former prince of the Ars Goetia, a royal family in Hell's hierarchy and the former owner of the Grimoire that I.M.P used to access the living world for their assassination job.

Blitzø, a peer Stolas knew during one day from childhood and founder and CEO of I.M.P, had with Stolas to retrieve the book and was allowed to keep the book under Stolas' condition that Blitzø sleep with him every time there's a full moon. He was later sentenced into exile for the next hundred years, losing his power and status. He is also the arch-nemesis both his ex-wife Stella and his brother-in-law Andrealphus.

Stolas grew up in the Goetia family with Paimon as his father. According to his father, Stolas had so many siblings that Paimon did not even know Stolas’ name. It is also implied that his siblings are not of the same species as him. On one of Stolas’ birthdays when he was a child, Paimon supplied the young owlet with his Grimoire so he could study the prophecies of the stars. Stolas is overjoyed but is then saddened when Paimon announces his arranged engagement to Stella, so they may produce a precautionary heir to the throne. Not wanting to deal with Stolas, Paimon decides to take him to the circus for the day.

Stolas and his servant arrive while Paimon observes the circus through a magic mirror. Stolas is still unmoved by the show until Blitzo swings to the center stage alongside his friend, Fizzoroli. Stolas is quickly smitten by the young imp’s charm, and is the only one to laugh at the latter’s joke regarding his failed attempt at making a balloon horse. Paimon takes note of this, and arranges for Blitzo’s father, Cash, to have Blitzo stay with them for a day so his son can have a playmate and Paimon won’t have to deal with him himself. However, unbeknownst to the Goetia, Cash convinces Blitzo to steal items from their castle for money.

Blitzo meets Stolas, who bows to Blitzo in respect, though is scolded by his father for doing so as its meant to be the other way round. Stolas introduces Blitzo to his various books. However, Blitzo becomes quickly bored and manipulates Stolas into helping him steal the royal family's treasures so he can throw them out the window to his father, Cash. Despite using Stolas, Blitzo does seem to enjoy his time with him, and the two discuss what they plan to do when they grow up. Stolas introduces him to his Grimoire and Blitzo talks about his plans to have a big office for his circus, and even offers to hire the prince if he applies.

Twenty years later, Stolas marries Stella, and had a daughter named Octavia, who remained the best thing in Stolas' otherwise unhappy life in his marriage to Stella-so much so that he took antidepressants. Stella was abusive to him both on a physical and mental level, however he stayed with for Octavia. He loved his daughter dearly, and would sing to her at night when she'd have nightmares. One night during a party, his security guards told him Blitzo was trying to sneak in. He tells them he can handle it from here. Unaware of Blitzo’s goal to steal the Grimore, Stolas mistook it for sexual purposes. Eventually, Blitzo manages to seduce and tie up Stolas, but ends up having with him out of pity as Stolas keeps talking about how he had been looking forward to doing so with him. Blitzo steals the book afterwards but falls out of the bedroom when trying to escape and lands in front of Stella, apologizing to her for “fucking her husband”. Stella screams at Stolas who rips off a banner and announces he's divorcing her. However, in spite of this, they remained married due to Stella's refusal to leave.

....

Stolas is an incredibly tall owl-like Goetic demon, almost twice as tall as Blitzo, but also incredibly thin and lanky. Pre-banishment, he always wears an expensive-looking red robe with gold bars along the chest and a red cape, plus a crown shaped liek a top hat, but with a brim resembling a small masquerade mask, befitting a nobleman. His robe also has an open area just below the neck, through which a ruffle of his feathers are visible. He has four red eyes, two placed where one would expect eyes to be and two on his forehead, with no pupils. Oddly, should he wear something (usually his crown) on his head, the upper pair of eyes appear on the hat's brim instead. Occasionally, when he gets emotional, his lower two eyes gain a pair of small white pupils. Strange enough, after his banishment, his pupils seemingly have become permanent, perhaps because of how emotional he feels having not taken his antidepressants, combined with his sadness over being estranged from his daughter.

Post-banishment, he tries several new outfits on, eventually settling on a red sweater with dark red sleeves, an open area in the same place as his robe and grey shorts.

His human disguise is still very tall and thin, with grey hair and red eyes, with red-lensed sunglasses replacing the second set of eyes. His clothing in this form, a fancy red top with grey-blue sleeves and a grey-blue patch below the neck instead of an open area and grey trousers, looks expensive and outdated, but not as foppish as how he dresses in his usual form.

His full demon form, taken when he becomes angry or enraged, is a horrific shadow-like owl monster with blood-red eyes and highlights. When wounded, it is shown his blood is thick and black-colored, like all Hellborn demons.

....

Stolas displays perverted behavior to the point of making Blitzo uncomfortable, but he is still shown to be loving and caring. He supplies Blitzo with his Grimoire in exchange for so Blitzo can use it to carry out his assassinations on Earth.

A running gag throughout the show is Stolas’ sexual remarks towards Blitzo being bleeped out, only to showcase how fowl-mouthed he truly is whenever discussing with Blitzo. Despite seemingly looking down on imps general, given he refers to Millie and Moxxie as “little ones” and also squeezes his butler imp when under stress from his ex-wife, Stella, he holds a special place in his heart for Blitzo, due to him being his first friend from childhood, as well as his first crush. It’s also possible he simply looks down on imps like Millie and Moxxie for being smaller imps compared to Blitzo.

Stolas is also shown to be a loving father. Unlike his neglectful and abusive father, Paimon, Stolas deeply cares for his daughter, Octavia. He sang her lullabies when she was a child and was enraged by Blitzo when she stole the Grimoire under Blitzo’s nose to go to Earth. Nevertheless, he tends to baby her occasionally and is not always aware of how to handle their relationship. A good example is when he takes her to “Loo-Loo Land” to ease the tension surrounding his fight with Stella, despite Octavia admitting she is too old for the place. Even then, he does admit to his own faults to her, which temporarily rekindles their relationship. However, him hiding his own despair from Octavia and ultimately (in Octavia's mind) choosimg Blitzo over her, caused Octavia to resent Stolas and (as of right now) break of her relationship with him.

While Stolas may claim not to have looked down on Blitzo during their fall out, it does not help his case that in the past, he has referred to him as his “impish little plaything” while also insinuating that he doesn’t see him as a real demon when possessing Agent Two.
