The real reason Alastor controls Husk's soul is that there's only room in Hell for one demon with a creepy voodoo gimmick.

Honestly would not be surprised he gets killed and it just causes further tension between Heaven/Hell wtih Sara as she probably would double down on the executions. I would not be surprised if Lute falls back after Adam is killed and becoems the new head of the executioner. I"m honeslty expecting either Eve or God to show up at the end of season.

Only difference is Dr. Facilier died in the 1920's as a young man and Husk died in the 1970's when he was around 60-70.

Now I am going off the Wiki for this, so these might not all be right, I don't know if there's a current official character list out there. Some of this might be outdated pilot info.

Nifty: 1950s
Cherri Bomb: 1980s
Husk: 1970s
Alastor: Specifically 1933
Mimzy: 1920s
Pentious: Specifically 1888
Angel Dust: Specifically 1947
Vox: 1950s
Valentino: 1970s
Velvette: ??? (probably 2000s if I had to guess)
Zestial: ??? (probably one of the oldest if not the oldest)
Carmilla: ???

Kind of funny when it's put down like that, but Sir Pentious is one of the oldest sinners in the series other than Zestiel and he's basically a nobody in hell. Makes you wonder how he survived so many executions.

Velvette is about as old as Vox and Valentino as far as when she died, she just is basically the only overlord who enjoys modernising. She chases the latest trends in everything even though she died in the 60s or something.

The Vees all arrived close together and quickly formed a collaboration effort.

Someone suggested that he might have worked for an Overlord that Alastor killed and overthrew. Hence the 20 fights even though Alastor has been gone for 7 years.

I would guess that if higher ranking demons (sans Lucifer) show up, it'll be stuff from later seasons - antagonists for the first two seasons are probably mostly related to heaven (with a possible secondary antagonist in the Vs), but once there's some sort of "the hotel has actually somewhat worked/improved life in hell somehow"-proof, we might get other powers in hell starting to pay attention to it, both good and bad. For contractual reasons I doubt any sin or goetia that appears in helluva boss will appear in Hazbin, besides maybe some small cameo. I'm fairly sure one or two will eventually pop up if the show gets 3+ seasons. I guess Belphegor might, apparently Charlie had their number on her phone? I feel like Satan probably won't, as imp stuff seems way more relevant in Helluva Boss, and he's kind of related to them. On the other hand, Satan and Lucifer appearing and being different people could work as a gag, with some sinner demon or angel being confused by them being different entities.

There’s also Leviathan though somehow I feel like she also has a better chance of showing up in HB than she does in Hazbin

"Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"


I think any character who has a voice actor in both series is plausible, and frankly the Sins in general seem like the most obvious to show up at least once in Hazbin even if they're mostly in HB. Just because I can easily imagine Lucifer calling them in for a song/fight/plot beat.

This is my opinion, Zestial is a fallen angel who doesn't want the attention and so is acting as a Mortal Overlord instead. It would explain why Lucifer is willing to hang with him in the pilot, beyond just uncertainty about the overall story.

Winner is the show lore opposite of a sinner. And I expect the exorcists are all hand-picked human souls gifted certain abilities to get the job done.

Also Adam is explicitly stated to be the biblical Adam (as for why he never takes off his Executioners mask I’m guessing he got his face hosed up during a raid, likely by going after Lilith at one point)

As an aside, I'd actually say Sera's judgement was correct, but only in a technical "letter of the law" sense.

Angel is evidence that souls in hell can become better people. He is not, however, evidence that they can be redeemed into heaven, as he's still in hell and still a demon. And since they do not know the criteria for entering heaven, they can't even say he's actually achieved any of the criteria.

But it essentially makes it a kangaroo court as she knows it's going to be a lose/ lose situation either way.

I think she expected that the conclusion was foregone, but also expected Adam to have some idea of how he got there in the first place, so there'd be evidence that none of the sinners were achieving the criteria. Adam laying out an actual check list and Angel ticking all of the boxes probably wasn't a result she was expecting. Charlie'd probably have a stronger case if Angel hadn't checked all of the boxes.

that last part is what kills her case, because if she doesn't know the criteria then it's not even certain if "better people" are qualified to get into heaven at all. one place is a sparkly shopping plaza where everyone's happy and polite, and the other's a puke-soaked anarchic slum where shooting someone in the gut is how you say "hello" and "goodbye." who's to say that the many sinners act the way they do because they get randomly binned into the latter?

sure, like you said, she's "technically correct," but it's a correctness that results in someone burning down the courtroom

No, Sinners (except Lilith?) cannot have children in Hell. Hellborn and definitely the Goetia can. Fallen Angels presumably can.

Those were probably her daughters in life, reunited in death. Given how protective she is, they may have even died before her.

It's why I keep saying someone's getting in by the end of the season. The idea of people getting out of hell has to be proven possible or impossible by the end of the season or else the show is spinning its wheels. If it happens in a scenario that's non-replicable, even better, because it's now proven that the goal is possible, but whether or not Charlie can do it consistently is still in question. But whether or not a soul can be redeemed needs to be answered.

Sinners and Heavenborn Angels might be able to have kids. Possibly sinners and Hellborn Demons. Though I do assume those are either her daughters in life or two girls she adopted in hell.
