Premise

Characters

Main characters

• ' is the main protagonist and founder of Hazbin Hotel. She is the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith, and is one of the few demons born in Hell. Upset by the yearly cleanse in which a number of demons are destroyed by the Exterminators, she and her girlfriend, Vaggie, seek to open a hotel that allows for the rehabilitation of sinners with the hope that they can receive forgiveness and enter heaven. Her bold plans are often laughed at by most of the demons in hell. She is shown to be very naive and optimistic but cares deeply for her people. She has a love for musical theatre, preferring expressing herself in singing and dance.
• ' is the Manager of the Hazbin Hotel and Charlie's girlfriend. She is highly supportive of Charlie and has a quick temper. Often acting as the more level-headed and rational one, she struggles to keep the hotel's image up. She is quite annoyed by Angel Dust's trouble-making and doesn't trust Alastor at all due to his notorious reputation. She can also summon various knives, spears and daggers at will. There is little information about her past life, but it is known that she entered Hell in 2014.
• ' is a spider-like androgynous adult-film star, and the first volunteer for Charlie's rehabilitation program. He does not appear to take Charlie's cause seriously, stating to only be interested in the rent-free accommodation, much to Vaggie's anger, and tends to get into mischief behind their backs. In his mortal life, Angel was born to a crime family, most of which reside in Hell with him. Angel struggled with drug addiction which ultimately led to his death in 1947. His stage name is based on the street name for the drug phencyclidine, which he still regularly uses in Hell.
• ', also known as the "Radio Demon", is an eccentric Overlord of Hell. He is known to be extremely powerful, and is capable of rivaling some of Hell's most ancient demons, despite having been a human in life. Upon his arrival in hell he built up a terrifying reputation seemingly overnight. Often keeping to a calm and gentlemanly demeanor, he prefers to always keep a smile on his face and shares Charlie's love of music and dance. His voice sounds like a vintage 1920s radio complete with static, sound effects including a laugh track, and theme music. He offers his services to Charlie in order to help her maintain her goal of running the hotel, but only for the amusement of watching other demons fail in the process. Charlie reluctantly allows his services as long as he doesn't do anything to jeopardize the hotel, for as long as he chooses without making one of his infamous pacts, and by also invoking her status as the heir to the throne. He provides a staff and protects Charlie's business from outside threats. It's stated that in his past life, Alastor was an asexual radio announcer who lived a double life as a serial killer in the Deep South. Having lived to see the stock market crash, he died in 1933.

• Husk "Husker", an ill-tempered and alcoholic 70s-era cat demon. He is summoned by Alastor to serve as the receptionist and bartender at the hotel.
