About

The father of the protagonist Charlie and the King of Hell. He is indeed the fallen angel Lucifer who rebelled against God, and his design heavily incorporates symbols like snakes and apples to emphasize his origins as a Seraphim. In the official trailer, he spreads six massive feathered wings from his back. He is a handsome man with a somewhat androgynous appearance, highlighted by dark eye makeup and prominent rosy cheeks. However, in keeping with Hazbin Hotel's theme of duality, this version of Lucifer is not a 'being who fell while arrogantly seeking the throne,' but rather a 'dreamer who sought equality for all, only to fall because of it.' Even as an Archangel in Heaven, he was quite different from the others. He eventually bonded with Lilith, who was tired of the macho Adam who demanded only obedience from women. Lucifer is depicted as the one who gave the Fruit of Knowledge to Eve with the pure intention of sharing the power of magic with humanity. However, the Fruit of Knowledge allowed evil to take root in the human world and led to the creation of Hell. As punishment for disrupting the order Heaven valued, Lucifer was sentenced to eternally oversee the pit of evil that is Hell and to forever witness the wickedness of humans resulting from his own actions. Although he is called the King of Hell, from Lucifer's perspective, Hell is less a kingdom and more a prison where he serves his sentence. Furthermore, as revealed later, since his punishment is to be trapped in Hell with sinners and 'watch the sinners created by his own karma,' Lucifer himself cannot harm the sinners nor do anything about them.
