Alastor

Alastor, the "Radio Demon," is a powerful, fan-favorite Overlord in Hazbin Hotel known for his permanent smile, 1930s aesthetic, and sadistic, chaotic-good nature. A former radio host and serial killer from New Orleans who died in 1933, he aids Charlie Morningstar’s hotel for his own amusement and to plot his freedom from a restrictive deal. Charlie: He supports her mission, though he doesn't believe in redemption. Husk & Niffty: He owns their souls and is their boss. Vox: He is the arch-nemesis of the TV demon, representing old media vs. new media. Appearance: Always wears a red pinstriped suit, monocle, and carries a microphone cane. The Smile: A permanent grin used to intimidate, mask true feelings, and maintain a facade of control. Abilities: He uses voodoo dolls, summons shadowy tentacles, and can manipulate radio waves. Mixed Heritage: Alastor is a mixed-race Creole man from New Orleans. Death by Mistake: In 1933, while hiding a body in the woods, he was mistaken for a deer and shot in the head by a hunter. This "dog-related incident" is why he now has deer traits (antlers, hooves) and a deep dislike for dogs. The Red "X": The glowing red "X" that appears on his forehead when he uses heavy magic marks the exact spot where he was fatally shot. Foodie & Cook: He is a skilled cook, particularly fond of his mother's spicy jambalaya. He is also a bit of a "food snob" who hates processed, "lazy" foods like canned cheese. Aversion to Touch: Alastor has a massive aversion to being touched and will contort his body in unnatural ways just to avoid physical contact. Musical Talent: Beyond his radio persona, he can play the piano, violin, trumpet, saxophone, and even a "Furby organ". Old-School Vibes: He refuses to use any technology invented after his death in 1933, which is a major point of friction with his modern-media rival, Vox. The Cane: His microphone cane is a sentient extension of himself that can speak and play recorded sounds of his past victims.
