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 a sinner demon and a very powerful Overlord of Hell. He has offered to assist Charlie Morningstar in her endeavors, albeit, for his own amusement. He is the archenemy of Vox and the arch-rival of Lucifer Morningstar, Charlie's father and king of Hell.
He was voiced by Edward Bosco in the pilot, while his singing voice was provided by Gabriel C. Brown, and is voiced by Amir Talai in the series.

Appearance[]
Alastor is a slender, beige-skinned demon with a dapper appearance who usually stands at around the same height as his rival, Vox, with the two standing at approximately 7 feet tall. He is usually seen with a very broad smile full of sharp, golden-like yellow teeth.
He sports slightly messy, red-pink bob-styled hair with black tips and a pair of rather large, black-ended fur-tufts on top of his head which evokes the ears of a deer. On the back of his head is a brown undercut, while small black antlers protrude from the crown which can grow in size in his full-demonic form.
His eyes have strawberry-red irises, darker-colored sclera, small black pupils, and maroon-red upper eyelids (which can change into the shape of radio dials when shifting into his full demon form), with his right eye having an oval-shaped, black-rimmed dark red monocle. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoofed toes and red fingers.
For clothing, Alastor wears a high-collared, fitted red pinstripe coat with darker-colored sleeves, strawberry-red cuffs, white-trimming on darker-red lapels, and the bottom hem being ragged. Under his coat is that of a strawberry-red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and an accessorized black knotted bowtie with a strawberry-red center on the top front.
He also wore black gloves with strawberry-red fingertips, black dress pants with cuffs the same color as he coat, and black heeled ankle boots with strawberry-red pointed toes, along with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. Alastor is seen carrying a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice.
Personality[]
Alastor is always shown smiling and acts polite. The reason he never stops smiling's that he believes it shows power and dominance. If a rival were to frown, he would see them as weak. Most civilians are terrified of him, merchants quickly giving him what he wants so as not to make him angry. His only friends seem to be a pack of demons who are also cannibals, who in the prequel comic cheerfully wave to him while tearing a victim apart.
Alastor's capable of immense cruelty as he enjoys the suffering of others, noted by his amusement of the Great Depression, and the number of orphans that it caused. He also hates being touched, which was told by Vivziepop (the creator) in a stream. While eerily happy, he also doesn't hold back from how evil he is, as he stated to Vaggie that if he wanted to harm anyone in the hotel he would have done so already.
Alastor dismisses that redemption is possible for sinners, and sums it up as "wacky nonsense". Despite this, he still gives his support to Charlie and her hotel, but rather for his own entertainment than idealism, possibly also seeing potential for profit. He has stated a desire to watch sinners struggle to try and better themselves, only to watch them repeatedly fail.
Alastor is asexual, as shown with him rejecting Angel Dust's advances (and even seeming momentarily thrown off by them). Despite this, he's still willing to act in a charming manner and dance with Charlie, as well as slap Vaggie's rear-end just to annoy her.
Vaggie refers to Alastor as "a violent monster of chaos", the reason she regards him as dangerous. This opinion seems shared by other demons; as the prequel comics show, civilians tend to flee from him or hide, while merchants quickly do whatever he requests of them. His only friends seem to be a pack of other demons who share his cannibalistic habit.
Given his penchant for radio, Alastor dislikes more modern forms of media, having little but contempt for fellow overlord Vox. Considering himself a gourmet, he refuses to eat processed food like ketchup or macaroni and cheese; his favorite food is venison, so long as it is butchered and prepared properly.
Alastor is genuinely friends with Rosie, a fellow classy Overlord with a penchant for cannibalism. He often spends time in her territory Cannibal Town due to his fondess for the early 20th century aesthetic for the 1910s.
Biography[]
Past[]
Most of Alastor's life as a living human is unknown, but he was known to be a serial killer who cannibalized some of his victims, however it is implied he only killed/ate other murderers and not innocent people. According to Vaggie, he is much younger (as a demon) than most other Overlords, his rise to the top being something of a success story.
Having arrived in Hell around the time radio became popular (early 20th Century) he managed to topple Overlords who had been in power for centuries, using the new medium of entertainment to broadcast his rise to prominence and authority.
