Helluva Boss/Characters

Characters of Helluva Boss.

Hell

 * Immediate Murder Professionals

Stolas
Voiced by: Brock Baker (pilot), Bryce Pinkham (series) An Owl-like demon prince who is the reason Blitzo can travel to Earth.
 * Abhorrent Admirer: Stolas is this to the extreme. His "flirting" with Blitzo obviously disturbs the imp greatly and Blitzo dreads having to speak with him even over the phone.
 * Ambiguously Bi: He's in an unhappy marriage with his wife and head-over-heels in love with a male imp, but it's unclear whether he's gay and has been repressing his sexuality for years, or he's bi/pan and Blitzo's gender has nothing to do with his attraction to him. His remark about Blitzo being "the only man who can f**k [him]" in Episode 2, as well as the heavy implication that he never loved Stella to begin with seems to imply that he might be demisexual, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
 * Bumbling Dad: While there's no question that Stolas loves Octavia, he doesn't understand her and well-intentioned attempts to bond with her rarely work out. It's not just because she's a teenager, since he also assumed she loved Robo Fizz's show as a little girl when it really scared her to tears.
 * Crystal Ball: Uses the bubbles in his bath to scry on Blitzo, calling him up to renegotiate their deal while he’s not in a position to talk.
 * Deal with the Devil: Is implied to be a "dealmaker" like Alastor.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite being a prince of Hell who actively seeks to cause more large scale death on Earth, Stolas' Instagram shows he's nothing but loving and supportive of his daughter Octavia. He is always trying new things at her suggestion, just to make her happy.
 * Exotic Equipment: According to the name under which he's saved on Blitzo's phone, he has a bird dick.
 * Lean and Mean: Is impossibly thin and utterly depraved.
 * Narcissist: His house has a number of portraits of himself scattered along the walls.
 * Nice Hat: He wears a top hat which may or may not be a part of his body.
 * Pimped-Out Cape: Wears one that's trimmed with fur at the top.
 * Sympathetic Adulterer: He suddenly found himself in love with Blitzo, after what it seemed like just a typical deal for the possession of the grimoire, despite or even thanks to being stuck in a rocky (at best) marriage. "Loo Loo Land" revealed his marriage with Stella was deteriorating long before he even met Blitzo, and he confesses to his daughter he did try to make it work with Stella for Via's sake, but he just can't fool his heart anymore. Then there's the fact that Stella called a hit on him...
 * Too Much Information: Gives an outright filthy description of giving Blitzo oral sex.
 * Wicked Cultured: A refined and aristocratic individual who's willing to order assassinations simply to help stake his loneliness. That's not to say he can't get crude, however, as shown by his phone call by Blitzo.

Octavia
Stolas's teenage daughter.


 * Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: She's very sullen and moody, mostly as a way to attempt to cope with the chaos of her home life.
 * Cute Bookworm: In a gothic sense of cute, her Instagram account has books that she's currently reading.
 * Daddy's Girl: Is shown to be much closer to her father than her mother, even worrying that her father would abandon her more than the actual possible divorce her parents may get.
 * Emo Teen: Played With. While she is angry with Stolas for cheating on her mother and throwing her home life into disarray and is embarrassed by his dorky personality, under the snarkiness her relationship with her father is actually very strong. In fact, her main fear is that he will run away with Blitzo and abandon her.
 * Goth: She predominantly dresses in black, reflecting her moody side.
 * Modest Royalty: As Stolas's daughter, she's technically a minor royal of Hell, although she dresses like a typical teenager.
 * Nightmare Fetishist: She has an interest in taxidermy.
 * Phoneaholic Teenager: She's shown to be on her phone a lot in her dad's pictures on Instagram.
 * Strong Family Resemblance: Between her father and mother, Octavia gets most of her looks from the former.

Mrs. Mayberry
Voiced by: Mara Wilson

A former teacher who ended up in Hell after a murder-suicide.


 * Amazing Technicolor Population: Becoming a demon turned her skin mauve.
 * Burning with Anger: When she's ticked off, her body and eyes glow red and her hair sticks up while flowing in the shape of a flame.
 * Cute Monster Girl: Despite becoming a purple-skinned Big Red Devil-like demon, she retained the majority of her cute looks from when she was a kindhearted school-teacher, with her visual appeal getting an upgrade by having the lower half of her skirt torn off, showing her demonic yet decently-shaped legs.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: Her mental instability in life becomes an outright rage disorder in Hell, angrily snapping at anybody and anything that triggers her.
 * Humanoid Abomination: Her demon appearance is incredibly close to how she looked before death, with her simply taking on generic Big Red Devil traits while keeping her general body shape, clothing, and hair. Given examples from other Earth-born demons, her being a mostly good person who simply was heavily mentally unstable and only killing one person before dying resulted in her retaining most of her original human form.
 * Insane Equals Violent: She is shown to have been rather unstable mentally, and she immediately resorts to Murder-Suicide when seeing her cheating husband. In Hell, her violent tendencies are amplified to have her snap at anything that riles her up.
 * The Mentally Disturbed: While she spent most of her life as a seeming Nice Girl before she snapped, her twitching and trembling when one student reminds her that she forgot her husband's birthday shows she was already pretty mentally unstable, but did her best to keep it under control. Seeing her husband cheating on her is what broke her remaining sanity.
 * Murder-Suicide: When she catches her husband, Jarold, cheating with Martha via video chat, she immediately drives back home and shoots them both as well as attack them with a chainsaw in some degree. Upon realizing what she had just done in front of her students via the still on video chat, she decides to shoot herself.
 * Nice Girl: She was incredibly cheerful in life and claimed that she was good all throughout it before the incident that led to her Murder-Suicide. She was also incredibly nice to her students. Sadly, she Took a Level in Jerkass after ending up in Hell, likely due to being bitter about the whole situation.
 * Pet the Dog: After the mission to kill Martha is successful, she joins the rest of IMP in congratulating Moxxie, appearing to be genuinely happy for him in sharp contrast to the perpetual rage that she was in earlier in the episode.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Becoming a demon gave her red eyes that glow when she's mad, and she's a violently unstable woman with a short temper.
 * A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: She was seemingly a strait-laced Nice Girl her whole life...until she found her husband cheating on her. After which she killed him, tried to kill his partner, and then killed herself in front of her Elementary School aged students. This was apparently sufficient to damn her to Hell.
 * Woman Scorned: When she found out her husband was cheating on her, she shot him and his mistress in a fit of rage. Then hired I.M.P. to finish off the mistress when she found out she survived.

Verosika Mayday
Voiced by: Cristina Valenzuela

A famous succubus popstar that Blitzo once dated in the past.
 * Evil Diva: A hypnotic pop star who is also a demon from Hell.
 * Horny Devils: She and her entire business serve as succubi, which are sex-providing demons. Verosika herself incites lust in people by singing onstage as a popstar.
 * Leitmotif: A dark, aggressive-sounding EDM tune plays whenever she's on screen.

Verosika's Crew
A succubus/incubus crew of Verosika.
 * All There in the Manual: Their names are revealed in supplementary material: Josh, Coco, Apple, Kat, Milky, Kiki and Ace. It also reveals Coco and Apple are in a same-sex-relationship.
 * Depraved Bisexual: They’ll have sex with anything regardless of gender, race/species and doesn’t seem to care much about consent (as they’re heavily implied to sexually assault Moxxie when he tries to get I.M.P’s parking spot back by asking them formally).
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Played for laughs, even with their very promiscuous behavior, the group isn’t happy about trading sexual favors to the police to avoid getting arrested (Josh, Coco and Apple are particularly horrified at the prospect, the latter two hugging each other for comfort).
 * Horny Devils: Fitting for a group of lust demons, they're very seductive and sexually forward.
 * Perky Goth: With two-toned hair (silver and black) and dark edgy clothes, Josh seems to have this aesthetic. The Perky part comes in with his seduction attempts on women.
 * Tattooed Crook: Apple has a snake tattoo on her lower left leg and Ace has a spade tattoo on his neck.
 * Winged Humanoid: They all have little black wings on their backs.

Millie's Family

 * Transgender: Sallie May sports a distinctly transfemme voice provided by Morgana Ignis, who confirmed in a tweet that Sallie May is indeed a trans woman. Interestingly, the subtle sexual dimorphism imps display in the series is taken into account in her design: her black hair is clearly dyed from its natural white, and her horns have the distinct white stripes of male imps.

C.H.E.R.U.B
An organization run by Cherubim that serves as the opposite of I.M.P, in that it protects humans from dying.


 * Barred from the Afterlife: C.H.E.R.U.B are thrown out of Heaven by higher-ranking angel Deerie, for accidentally killing Lyle, leaving the trio stranded on Earth.
 * Fallen Angel: The trio are barred from Heaven after accidentally killing their charge while fighting I.M.P, demoting them to this.
 * Hero Antagonist: All they do is try to prevent people from dying from untimely fates. They don't even want money for it, simply doing it because it's right. But since I.M.P are the protagonists of the story, that lands them squarely in the antagonist category.
 * Horrible Judge of Character: They see fit to save Lyle's life even though, as Moxxie points out, he's a greedy hypercapitalist who spends pretty much all his interactions disparaging orphans, the poor, and children. Not to mention he performed unethical experiments on humans. However Cletus admits later that he is a shitty person, they are just required to save people.
 * Letter Motif: All three of them have names that start with a "K" sound.
 * Two Guys and a Girl: They consist of Cletus and Collin who're both male and Keenie who's female.

Cletus
Voiced by: Don Darryl Rivera

The baby-like cherub leader of C.H.E.R.U.B who's essentially Blitzo's parallel.


 * Cry Cute: He bawled his eyes out when he realized the trio and he weren't ever going to be allowed back into Heaven for indirectly ending Lyle.
 * Foil: Cletus and Blitzo are both the leaders of the group, and are the most vocal when it comes to frustration, but when faced with consequences, Blitzo would find a way around it, while Cletus reacts with tears.
 * Ocular Gushers: At the end of C.H.E.R.U.B's debut episode, he cries heavily with these.
 * Putto: Cletus looks like the winged babies Cherubim tend to be depicted as.

Collin
Voiced by: Jayden Libran

A blue/purple anthropomorphic sheep cherub in the employ of C.H.E.R.U.B who essentially serves as Moxxie's parallel.


 * Butt-Monkey: Naturally, being Moxxie's counterpart, he suffers the most physical and verbal abuse of the three cherubs. Unlike Moxxie, he doesn't really try to fight back against it.
 * Extreme Doormat: He's incredibly wimpy and rather lacking in a spine, never making any serious attempts to stand up for himself when either the story or Keenie beats him down, simply taking it and waiting for it to stop. It's a good contrast to Moxxie, who while normally somewhat submissive, refuses to take his abuse without either a fight or at least some complaints.
 * Foil: Collin and Moxxie are both Token Good Teammates and Butt Monkeys who often get the short end of the stick in life due to their morality, but Moxxie is at least able to find middle ground with the rest of I.M.P, along with being able to stand up for himself against most things, whereas Collin is so lacking a spine that he just takes all the abuse the story piles on him for his desire to truly do good.
 * Speech Impediment: Collin has a noticeable stutter that sounds similar to the baa-ing of a sheep, which becomes more prominent when he gets emotional.
 * Thousand-Yard Stare: Collin gets these on occasion.
 * A downplayed example is when Blitzo claims Cletus has sex with him and Keenie.
 * A more serious one is when Collin sees just how nasty and brutal nature can be.
 * Token Good Teammate: As yet another parallel to Moxxie, while C.H.E.R.U.B as a whole is at the very worst a group of Good Is Not Nice Punch Clock Heroes that still do their job for the sake of good, Collin is the only one among them that completely lacks any of the negative qualities Cletus and Keenie have, such as devolving into frequent swearing when pushed or exhibiting Fantastic Racism. The worst he gets is simply joining the other two in trying to kill some genuinely evil demons for ruining their life-saving efforts.
 * Youthful Freckles: He has three light ones on each cheek like his foil Moxxie, fitting for having a childlike sense of innocence and idealism, including a genuine belief in the potential good of humanity.

Keenie
Voiced by: Vivienne Medrano

A yellow anthropomorphic sheep cherub in the employ of C.H.E.R.U.B who essentially serves as Millie's parallel.


 * Berserk Button: Taking God's name in vain enrages her enough to slap her co-worker Collin.
 * Clothing Appendage: The wool on her legs resembles a pair of bloomers.
 * Foil: Keenie and Millie are both The Chick of their groups, but while Millie is Affably Evil and only throws insults when she absolutely needs to, Keenie is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing that makes no real effort to hide her Fantastic Racism. Also, while Millie clearly wears the trousers with Moxxie, she's still shown to be very caring toward him, whereas Keenie is repeatedly shown to abuse and mistreat meek Collin.
 * More Deadly Than the Male: Keenie is the only girl in C.H.E.R.U.B, and is shown to have far more rage and violent Fantastic Racism under her sweet demeanor than her two male coworkers.
 * Non-Mammal Mammaries: They're only noticeable in certain side-shots due to being quite small and her wearing poofy outfits, but as pointed out by Millie (who is flat-chested and somewhat envious), Keenie has a pair of human-like breasts placed on her upper torso, despite being a sheep cherub.

Deerie
Voiced by: Vivienne Medrano

An anthropomorphic deer cherub that appears near the end of C.H.E.R.U.B's debut episode to ban them from heaven.
 * Barefoot Cartoon Animal: Just like Collin and Keenie, Deerie and her angelic entourage are animal-like cherubs that don't wear any form of footwear, which is especially notable since she herself is otherwise near-fully clothed.
 * Ironic Name: Her name, Deerie, sounds like the affectionate term "dearie", which is normally used to describe somebody a person finds nice and lovable. What little has been shown of her so far points to her being anything but "nice and lovable".
 * Pure Is Not Good: Her obsession with moral purity means she ends up expelling three well meaning cherubs over an accident.
 * Sarcasm Mode: She makes a very sarcastic apology to C.H.E.R.U.B when telling them they won't get back into Heaven.
 * Soft-Spoken Sadist: Kicking C.H.E.R.U.B out of Heaven, albeit for an accident, is somewhat understandable. But smiling while telling them there is no way to come back is, eh...
