Alastor Wants to Betray Charlie & Control Hell!

I think Alastor didn’t realize he was getting attached. He seemed surprised and disgusted he almost “died for his friends.”

[@my.melody.gamingg]

he wasnt suprised nor disgusted. Hes not getting attached at all did you even watch the show? he looks at them like at his meat for slaughter and is thirsting over their destruction. He stayed for Adam to fight for his ego he wanted to leave way before in that scene he was losing it because he cant murder as much and in such a masses as he did before and hes addicted. His deal forbids him from it he wants to get out and kill them all since attached is absolutely not whats happening there in the slightest lol

The scene with Nifty really proves this. I hope that the favor Charlie has to do is to free Alastor from whoever own him (probably Lilith)

[@ludameri1384]

idk given alastor's past I wouldn't be surprised if he does in fact turn on the hotel in some way. Not necessarily destroying it but maybe sabotaging it or trying to gain power over it because of his own selfish desires. We have a while until s2 to theorize tho

[@LUN4RSTUDIOS]

I agree with you completely

[@Ty-v6v-c4r]

I think he has grown fond of them. That does not mean he has a change of heart, or that he is loyal to the hotel. It's like when you get a shitty job but the people there are ok.

[@swordcrab3181]

I think he's in the process of growing to care about them, but he might not be there yet. I think he's still mostly self-interested for now. I think he might be being built up to be the final villain, or maybe the reluctant right-hand man to the final villain if Roo really is the Root of Evil, but the influence of Charlie and the others throughout the series will cause him to do a heel-face turn. I think redemption may actually be the back door to any soul contract, the way for Alastor to finally be free.

[@emexdizzy]

Ever since we learned that Alastor sold his soul, I could finally clock a motivation for him. He fears being powerless and the danger that would put him in and thus will do anything to get the power needed to keep himself safe. The only time we ever see someone truly rattle him with something they said is Husk reminding him of his own weakness. Why he fears that is what interests me now.

I agree what he really desire it is freedom and safety, but he believes he can get only by being on top and in control.

i mean y'all don't think he took down all those ancient overlords as an act of goodwill, did you? of course he wants to be in control of all of hell. he was a serial killer in life and possibly even came to believe that lucifer, unable to prevent his accidental death at the hands of a hunter who stumbled upon his body disposal, is incompetent and hell needs someone more skilled, ruthless and conniving at the helm. he may have seen ingratiating himself with charlie as a way to uncover a means of toppling lucifer - so while he doesn't necessarily care about the success of the hotel because he doesn't believe sinners can be redeemed, he does want charlie under his control.

[@EyreAffair]

Alastor also trusts Charlie to the point where he gives her his staff in Episode 7, which is HUGE for him, because Episode 8 shows that his staff is the source of his power. I think he cares about Charlie as a friend, and he doesn't like it, because he feels that caring about others is a weakness.

It's interesting, I wonder if part of his deal is... he isn't allowed to take souls. he obviously has husk and Niftys souls, but it sounds like he got that before his disappearance. But during the whole season, he's been offered up multiple times for possibilities to take someones souls, and he refused them every time. why NOT take charlies soul. why just a favor? if he had her soul, he doesn't need to have JUST a simple favor. Rosie gave him a tip on a deal. he refused it. Vaggie said something along the lines of not giving him her soul, he wasn't even thinking about it. "the restraints of my deal" line makes me wonder if Lilith crippled him this way, since overloards powers seems to be coming from these soul deals.

I don't think he actually meant it. If youre referring to "altruistic Alastor dying for his friends" It felt more sarcastic and less genuine. He might on some level enjoy their company, but I don't think as of episode 8 he actually cares for them.

[@LeAndre_McCoy]

In episode 7 he admits that he does like the hotel staff and residents and is enjoying himself before he goes to meet Charlie. In episode 8, he sings that he almost died for his friends. You bringing up the possibility that Lilith contacted him to sabotage the hotel is very interesting and i think it could line up. Early on(pilot to mid season 1), he's just constantly mocking Charlie as if he's trying to discourage her. His ad for the hotel basically boils down to "this place sucks and has no possibility of success." When Charlie calls Lucifer to help, he becomes antagonistic to Lucifer. Al has been constantly sabotaging the hotel, until the latter half of the season. From the end of episode 5 onward, Alastor is even going out of his way to help her and prop her up. Telling Mimzy, his friend, that they're still cool but she isn't allowed to bring trouble to this hotel, specifically. He tells Charlie how to defeat the angels, he helps her organize an army by encouraging her to use her own persuasive ability, and he fights to near death to defend the hotel. Upon reaching his radio tower he _does_ seem surprised and amazed that he almost died *"for his friends"* and then immediately switches to trying to think of a way out of his deal. This makes it seem like he was contracted to destroy the redemption project without killing Charlie, which is something he would have delighted in doing, until he stayed there for a few months and had a change of heart.

[@czmAvery]

I dont think Alastor is actively trying to sabotage the hotel yet. It seems like he's still in the "play nice" phase, or he wouldn't have introduced Charlie to Rosie and the Cannibals. He could have let the hotel fail right thwre and then if thar was his deal, but I think his deal is to watch over Charlie and keep her alive

[@peppersnap]

Absolutely. Also the show has TWICE showed us that Alastor is actually very loyal: Rosie says "Alastor has never done me wrong before" and we learn that Mitzy only turns up when she needs help and Alastor always obliges to the point where Mitzy is shocked when he finally puts his foot down and firmly but kindly tells her to stay away from the Hotel unless she wants to try her hand at redemtion. One of the themes of the show is "actions speak louder than words" and despite Alastor's reputation, threats, and mocking the aim of the Hotel, his actions have been very helpful.

[@czmAvery]

@samanthapoynter913 OH, don't get me wrong. I'm still convinced he's going to be the shoe's BBEG (hence why I called it the play nice *phase*), I just think his deal is more specific than was stated in the video.

[@halomoon_]

I can see hes slowly caring but then again he would be the person to stop himself from caring too much because he has a goal and that’s to try to get out of his deal with whomever it is.

[@subjectdelta7210]

A key thing was his conversation with nifty. He seemed to genuinely miss having a bond like the others had. He misses HIS friends and by his photo during the last song those friends were Vox and Rossy. 7 years ago I think Alastors was out soul collecting when he visited someone he sees on tv and got tricked losing his. His new boss says they are leaving town. Vox sees him on the street and asks him to join only to say no because of his deal. Thinks about WHY Vox would want Alastors even knowing his dislike for video cameras unless his extreme hatred towards it was new; he disliked it but to that degree was new. Vox wouldn’t fight someone he’s trying to recruit so Alastors attacks Vox to hide that he lost control over his soul then losses.

My theory is that whatever the deal Al has made, it is limiting his power and controlling him. With evidence from the lines “I'm hungry for freedom like never before.The constraints of my deal surely have a backdoor” and the stitches on his face that shows his smile. A question I have is what was Al’s side of the deal?

[@nunogoncalo9454]

I think his deal closed something. Put a limiter on Al's power making it either stuck or weaker. I think that constant shadow behind Alastor always making independent actions and moves might be a representation on the power that is laying dormant or stuck.

[@Madi_Ernar]

it's not evidence of that at all. About backdoor, he is looking for a loophole to get out of his contract. As for being hungry for freedom, i think it has something to do with making a deal with Charlie. He wants to use her favor to break free, and since he is very close, he is more excited to be free.

[@thatguy6482]

Or maybe the stitches are just like that of a creepy voodoo doll... You know kind of part of his aesthetic? Also what would he be getting out of a deal that limits his power its one of the few things he cares for?

[@jimmynutron844]

I think his side was to get power

[@NamelessAidan]

I think Alastor's meltdown is particularly interesting because up to that point, he seems so wildly confident, even challenging Lucifer albeit not through combat obviously. I think it's likely that he believed he had enough power to defeat Adam right up until the moment his staff was broken and he got injured, forcing himself to face his own "mortality" and realize he isn't as powerful or in control as he thought, especially since Adam was not a particularly strategic or intelligent character. He may not have realized how much his deal had constrained him, or thought that it was in his favor up until that moment, increasing his desperation to be rid of it quickly now that dying seems like a real possibility.

[@RemnentPlays]

"Alastor smiling in an unhinged way" "Alastor smiles even when distressed" "Alastor smiles-" Alastor can't help it. His face is magically stitched in a smile. If he were to actually smile, the stitches break and he bleeds.

[@aimeebason9732]

Im kind of surprised so many people think Alastor wont betray Charlie and the Hotel. He was certainly getting attached to the crew, but him almost dying in the battle was a wake up call. It rekindled his resolve to find a way out of his contract, and with the Alastor we know now, if the opportunity arises to break his contract comes at the cost of betrayal, he will take it. Whether he comes to regret that, remains to be seen.

[@minahilbaig1822]

It would make sense that Lilith would want Charlie to fail. Each soul redeemed would mean the loss of a bit of Lilith’s power.

[@Radiogirl1931]

I think its something alien to him, caring about people and he shocked with himself, like it's out of character for him. I think he's panicked because he's dealing with what he sees as a weakness, which is the care he has developed and he's going ti have to come to terms with that development.

[@dietotaku]

y'all are reading too much into this. put quotation marks around it, " 'great alastor altruist died for his friends' ? sorry to disappoint, that is not how this ends." he's mocking the idea that he would ever lay down his life for any "friends", you would think the fact that he sarcastically calls himself an altruist would make that clear.

[@Radiogirl1931]

@dietotaku I'm reading as he's shocked that he made such a move and mocking himself, however, it's more so in a sense of "am I actually starting to care?" And he's terrified of that because he probably sees relationships and friends as a weakness. There's definitely some internal conflict. But even mockingly he still called them his friends. I think he's slowly starting to care and he can try fighting that all he wants to, but I think at the end of it all, he will sacrifice himself. I think that would be an awesome narrative irony if that is forshadowinf

[@casp512]

​@@dietotaku The "sorry to disappoint, this is not how it ends" is because Alastor didn't die. But he almost did and that scares him.

Taking over Hell openly would paint too big a target on Alastor rather I think his plan is to become Charlie's right hand man.

Once he's freed from his contract and Charlie has tapped into more of her potential (as Al put it) there would be few who could touch him.

[@sonorasgirl]

That’s my thought. I think he wants to control and manipulate Charlie because he knows she’s going to be very powerful, more powerful than he is…I think that’s why he also got in the fight with Lucifer and dislikes him so much. He wants to shape and mold Charlie into his own puppet. I do think he cares about her on a level too, but it’s…twisted. And if you KNOW you can’t ever have as much raw power as her, the next best thing is to be the one controlling her

[@Infernalicon]

here is a food for thought, alistor made a deal with charlie to cash in a favor at an unspecified later date that doesnt involve hurting someone, seeing how he waited until charlie could basically not afford to refuse its pretty safe to assume its tied to a hole in his deal, he either wants her to bail him out, or whats more likely take his souls place (he didnt make a deal for charlies soul, cuz whoever holds his leash could just take it from him)

[@JustCurlyGames]

A lot of people seem to ignore the small detail of stitches present when Alastor makes the deal with Charlie (as seen at 3:29). These stitches seem to be the reason why Alastor has to keep smiling, as his face it stitched into a smile presumably by whoever owns his soul.

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

The trouble with being power behind the throne is what Jafar discovered in Aladdin - the advisor is always pushed aside for a prince. Therefore, Jafar Plan B was to BECOME the prince. If Alastor ingratiates himself sufficiently, he can use the favor from Charlie to ask for a marriage of convenience. Purely political. Her loving relationship with Vaggie stays intact, and Alastor becomes the Prince of Hell - with all the attendant power. He can sweeten the idea by convincing Charlie that as an insider, he's the one who can get his hands dirty preventing the Vs from overturning the established order of the overlords - avoiding a ring-wide turf war and the ensuing chaos which would threaten the hotel. He'll have to both ask her to intervene when Lucifer understandably goes ballistic, and eventually persuade her that the Prince of Hell shouldn't be on anyone's leash - something Lucifer could (reluctantly) rectify. And a precedence for a mortal sinner attaining high position in Hell's hierarchy exists - Lilith. As Prince of Hell, Alastor would undoubtedly take a more active role outside the hotel - perhaps even as a counter to Charlie's efforts. If he continued to increase power by obtaining souls, then fewer sinners would have their souls available for redemption.

[@chicgeek6728]

I feel like this part of the song has a different meaning. He said that he almost died because he was defending his "friends" and that he might've started getting attached to them and forgot that his main goal was to cut the deal he made. He also didn't seem hostile as he seemed actually happy (or at least satisfied) in the cannibal colony where everyone around understood and liked him. It also showed that maybe Al didn't really hate Lucifer but maybe just tried to get on his nerves after what Lucifer did to him (disrespect and just bad taste towards Alastor). So in a nutshell: Alastor doesn't want to betray Charlie as she's needed for him to cut the deal. He might slowly start seeing the pros of Charlie's character and become a good person at the end of the series. Yes, he was a bad person but his attachment started getting stronger and stronger so he won't just betray them (+ he sees potential everywhere). In the pilot he was probably lying about him joining the hotel for entertainment (and maybe not) as he's kind of a "punisher" person who is fair towards everyone unless they show him that they deserve a punishment (such as the butcher in alastor's comic)

[@hi_why_are_you_reading_this]

If Alastor wants to be the ruler of hell, the shortest path to it would be a marriage of convenience with Charlie. It would immediately raise his status from an overlord to a prince. And Charlie wouldn't hurt anyone, provided that emotional damage does not count. Thus, Vox tastes ultimate defeat, Lucifer and Lilith are flabbergasted, but the Hotel and, probably, the rest of hell are ok. And of course, Vaggie won't be able to become Charlie's spouse, but it does not mean that they will have to end their relationship. Heck, they don't even need to hide their love, because it's hell and nobody cares. It is not the best of all possible outcomes for the crew, but it is not the worst either. Although, I am pretty sure that it won't happen, as it lacks drama, pain, betrayal and other things we are so hyped up about.

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

Oh, it doesn't lack drama. Alastor as Prince of Hell would still be a power hungry sociopathic narcissist. He would definitely seek to control all the overlords, but more importantly, would try to increase his power by obtaining more souls - placing him in direct conflict with Charlie. Sinners who surrender their souls to Alastor wouldn't have them available for redemption. Most extreme betrayal scenario, he'd overreach by deciding one ring of Hell was not enough and attempt to become King of Hell by usurping Lucifer.

[@WinterPhoenix]

If Alastor screws over Charlie in anyway, he will find out just how powerful Lucifer truly is and he will know true fear

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

We've been considering that Alastor made a deal with Lilith seven years ago. What if his craving for power caused him to take a run at her instead? She walked out on Lucifer, and isn't a Hellborn, but a mortal sinner like Alastor. The end result of the conflict could have been the pair running to separate entities to recover. Lilith seeking out Adam for protection in Heaven, and Alastor turning to Roo. It's also apparent that Lucifer really doesn't like Alastor by the fact that the newly built hotel has one window completely destroyed - the window closest to Alastor's radio studio.

[@karmagaming2098]

i don't think alastor could have such powers, lilith is the whole reason sinners have powers and she is like one of the first sinners if not the first.

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

@@karmagaming2098 True, Lilith is the first sinner, but it doesn't appear the majority of sinners actually have powers - only those who have discovered their niche either by obtaining souls and/or offering something the general populace wants. Alastor is a narcissist, and his ego outweighs his power (he could have fought Adam with angelic blades wielded by his tentacles, but didn't). With Lilith outside of Lucifer's sphere, he may have foolishly believed she had less power. Of course, this could also be "Deathnote" levels of overthinking the plot.

[@suicune2001]

Oh weird. I didn't notice that about the new hotel. Good catch! I wonder if that's also why Alastor's tower looks sad.

[@JALENHATCHER]

I have figured out Alastor's angel on why he wants the hotel to work. In his life on Earth he was a famous radio DJ. He was most likely a real bastard to women and most likely chose them to eat as a cannibal. Also he must have took advantage of the women in his work place. Which is why he is so nice to women in hell. Because he's been trying to redeem himself ever since she's got there, and he see's Charlie's plan to redeem sinners.

[@carbon-x1744]

a reason he always smiles could br cuz his mouth is stitched to force him smiling, during his deal with charlie he transforms a bit with all the little green things happening but when they shook hands you could see stitches on alastors mouth prob forcing a smile

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

Except stitches are generally used to keep a mouth shut (even in modern mortuary practices - the stitches are hidden inside). Shrunken heads are another example. The practice is also used to prevent the dead from divulging secrets.

[@suicune2001]

@@strawberryhellcat4738 Right but people can smile with their mouth closed. But the stitches to keep the dead from telling secrets is an interesting point. While the stitches don't look like they are the thing keeping him smiling, I do think he's forced to smile whether he wants to or not. If everyone has something they hate about themselves in hell, his smile might be that thing. Maybe it's a reminder of how powerless he is. He's so powerless he can't even control his own face.

[@peppersnap]

Alastor is shown to be loyal to his comrades: Rosie says "Alastor has never done me wrong" and Mitzy clearly relies on him to get her out of trouble on a regular basis. Alastor has friends, he enjoys their company and tries to keep them safe. I think he'd consider it a weakness to turn on someone who he'd encouraged to trust him. Alastor is often seen as chaotic evil, but he's far more lawful: he's a dealmaker, people who enter into deals with him do so knowingly and of their own free will, whether or not they regret the deal later. The overlords of Hell, while enormously feared, do have relatively normal relationships with others: Carmina is clearly devoted to her children and no one would (dare) think any the less of her for that. However, reputation is clearly enormously important for overlords, of course, and Alastor has put a lot of work into his Radio Demon persona. He's not troubled so much by finding himself attached to Charlie and the gang, it happens, he's been here before, but the double-blow to his hard-earned reputation of a) being defeated in combat, b) while trying to defend this widely-ridiculed idea of a redemption hotel, because of c) some as-yet-unexplained constraints humiliatingly forced on him, _this_ is what's ripping shreds off his sanity.

[@maciejpindakiewicz673]

Alastor became more mysterious with every clue. The connection between him and Roo is closer than we may thought. If Vivzies twits (or x's) are still cannon, maybe Alastor is more related to Roo, like his child or avatar, that was created on Earth (like in "The Horror of Dunwich" of Lovecraft). He pretend to be a normal human, but got more occult power through his "cosmic, eldritch father", and thanks to that he could infiltrate Hell as a sinner. Hell was the goal, because it's easier to get into it, than to Heaven. He started his rampage, but because he was in Hell, his power wasn't that omnipotence- his father was in other Realm, that's why he use his staff with "father's eye" as an anchor. Seven years before Hazbin Hotel first episode- he fought Vox, because his ambition was in the way of Alastor. Then suddenly he was summoned by Lilith, who also had a deal with Roo. Alastor not only was weakened by fight, but also maybe daddy shut off his power, to give him to the Lilith on the leash. After that he regain power, but deal was sealed, and he was on the Lilith order. Now, limited by the humiliating deal, and betrayed by Roo- he seeks way to escape from the deal, and take Hell as a his own kingdom. Proofs:..all this green energy with foreign symbols, sudden rise to power as a Overlord. The eye in his microphone, and sudden weaken state after the staff was broken. Tentacles of his more demonic form (BTW. is it not strange, that he only transform- only angels, and angel0related were capable to do that. Other sinner, like Vox, Valentino, Angel Dust, etc. they do not transform).

My theory is that Alastor's deal may restrict him to only using his powers for the benefit of others. Note that the only time he's attacked anyone using his abilities has been in defense of the hotel, thus protecting Charlie's interest. It also explains why he immediately ran to the hotel and insisted on helping in the pilot.

[@chrissieinszweidreizweiein2013]

In the cannibal town ready-for-it song there is a short interlude between Rosie and Alastor. Al: "She's filled with potential that I could guide..." [+ the scheming eyes] Rosie: "I concur. Stick with her. You'll be on the winning side." I wager Alastor wants Charlie to topple her dad and be a proper Queen of Hell who's invested, not the depressed care-for-nothing that Lucifer is. And that's why Alastor is calling in all his favors for Charlie. He thinks she is naive, easily manipulated and can rule hell under his wings (after he figures out how Charlie can "unclip" them when calling in his one favor with her). I mean that's feudal intrigue 101 :D You can't just lay a claim on a kingdom. But you can make the heir that has a proper claim into your puppet and rule from the shadows.

He’d avenge the “leash,” though his tragedy could be fulfilled in that he’d form stronger bonds with those he just wanted to use, and cannot turn back. This would also end up as a secondary tragedy (and learning opportunity) to Charlie as RadioDemon finds the way to redemption but cannot be saved because of his own choices.

[@minukun]

During the Cannibal town episode and song, Alastor mentions how potentially strong Charlie is to her father and how he could guide her with his sinister smile. You can say that the theory of Alastor wanting to use Charlie could be reinforced by this. Maybe he is also planning something along the lines of being and an advisor to a naive princess, where you can recall tropes of where advisors would be controlling the kingdom behind the royal family.

[@daybreak1561]

My head cannon is when he sings about how he will eventually find cracks or loopholes in the contract, he isn't talking about the deal with Charlie, but the contract with Lilith. Alastor implies and literally states that he is basically chained and held by a contract, but from what's on screen, Charlie never said anything about condition except hurting anyone. I'm thinking Alastor will find a way to usurp Lilith's power by forcing her to break the contract

[@DaraTheArsonLady]

I have a bit of a theory on alistair, I remember it was mentioned that sinners have parts of them they hate (example: angel apparently hates his legs (or feet)) What if alistair is always smiling even when it seems he doesn’t want to because he’s forced to always smile because he hates his smile?

[@lisatheboywonder6744]

I think he didn't make a deal with Lilith or anyone what people don't understand is that Alastor is VERY transparent with everything he says his smile is the thing that keeps them guessing. When he says stuff in terms of his intentions and where's he's been he answers honestly but his smile makes you guess. I think the 'deal' he's referring to is the one he made with Charlie in the pilot where she 'orders' him to help her run the place but on her terms as long as he feels like it. While it may not be something to pay attention to in the pilot you have to realize she is the heir to hell and if she orders you to do something you have to do it which Charlie or us don't realize because Charlie never flexs her power. Alastor wants to use Charlie cause he knows her potential and that she is as powerful as Lucifer as he wants to mold her to end up pulling the strings because he knows having her is a useful tool to him so he won't get out of the deal he made with her in the pilot for that reason, but its driving him crazy cause he knows he can technically get out of the deal because Charlie said until he feels like it, but doesn't want to because of how useful she can be to him but it's driving him insane that it has to be under her terms. So he got himself into a open ended deal that he can yet can't get out of. And Husks comment about him being on a leash is probably him being ' whipped' by Charlie cause why would Alastor let ANY one know he sold his soul much less to someone like Husk who Alastor owns his soul? That would be perceived as weak that if anyone would find out and he would make sure no one found out. Also Alastor isn't dumb enough to sell his soul he is all about control and knows selling a soul is a act of desperation and losing control and Alastor isn't about that. And when he is asked by Zelestial where he was he says ' just took a break nothing more but keep guessing I love to hear the theories' is Vizzie breaking the fourth wall because she does interact with her fans and will know there will be a million fan theory videos guessing so Alastors comment is a head nod to all the fan theory videos she knows are out there. Just a theory tho

[@creatorofthemultiverse2692]

You know, that's a pretty interesting and exotic take on this situation, I haven't heard a variant like that before. I even like: 'the power of the royal family is so great that they don't even have to directly make deals', sounds interesting overall.

[@suicune2001]

While that is an interesting theory, Charlie's actual deal was, "I'm taking your offer to help on the condition that there be no tricks or voodoo strings attached." Then he offered an official deal, which she promptly rejected. Then she says, "As princess of hell and heir to the throne, I hereby order that you help with this hotel for as long as you desire." And that was it. Nothing was said about restricting his powers. It was just he couldn't force her to make a deal or trick her in some way to get him to help. The only condition was he choose to help and he could simply leave whenever he felt like it.

[@RS-cx5el]

@CartoonUniverse I noticed something in Alastor's song in the final episode of Hazbin Hotel Season 1...Alastor mentions that once he finds out how to cut his wings, he'll be pulling all the strings...Deep diving into the backstory of Alastor, he was a human living on earth...however, given how much power he possess in hell it has been theorized that either he was a son born into a family cult where rituals gave him his power or that he is in fact God. While there are reasons to say why this may be true or false, this particular phrase caught my attention. We know Alastor made a deal with Lilith, which seems of great significance to this phrase. What does Alastor mean by cutting his wings? It would seem more appropriate for him to say for him to cut his chains of his deal. Typically only angels from heaven posses wings. It seems odd as often wings are described in this context as ones ability to obtain success or freedom. Cutting his wings would mean losing his success or freedom. It doesn't quite fit here. In fact, Alastor knew that Vaggie as originally an exorcist who had been cast to hell for sparing a demon child. Could Alastor have been and angel or an exorcist? It seems unlikely, but It seems to make sense when you look at these two events. Other than maybe using his demonic power to identify the truth, how could Alastor have known? Maybe he saw Vaggie once during the yearly extermination or somehow found out with his deal with Lilith. There's no one way definitively answer that question. The only way I see it is that he means to cut his wings to sever his tie with Earth, Heaven, and Lilith herself who is in Heaven. Maybe he meant a reference to Lilith who is in heaven by saying cutting his wings, a direct reference to angels of Heaven. Maybe he means that once he gets out of his deal with Lilith that he will finally be able to taker over hell with whatever means he decides. Having Lilith out of the picture may cause Lucifer to give up the thrown, making the way for Alastor. Lemme know your thoughts!

Okay, hear me out. if you look at the frames in episode 8, you can see it at 1:50 in this video; Alastor has normal teeth behind his set of sharp golden teeth, combined with his constant lines about smiling and not feeling dressed without one, something is going on. I believe Rosie to be a fallen angel (It's said she isn't a Sinner.) she shares a lot of the design qualities, like skin/hair color, head shape, and general maturity that those native to Hell don't typically have. also the plumage on her neck is the same as the executioner outfit plumage but red.I think Alastor has a majority of Rosie's power, taking that instead of her life when he was overthrowing the Overlords. That or idk lmao maybe Rosie is just a Cannibal Colony Hellborn like your said and perhaps Alastor made a deal with Rosie to give her the means to form Cannibal Colony and be their unquestioned leader. She did seem to spot deals for him, so I think it's something like the Vs but a lot more one-sided.

Alastor HAS grown to like the people of the hotel, as he says in his little talk between him and Niffty.

This is evident in ‘great Alastor altruist died for his friends’, he’s basically quoting what they might say if he continued to let his feelings for the ppl of the hotel (friendship, basically) take over him and make him weaker and forget his reason of being here. In the finale when he says ‘these constrains should have a back door’ (along those lines), he’s saying that this deal that he’s under, this leash he is on must have a way out. He wants to be in control, not the one on a leash. He wants power. HE’LL be the one pulling all the strings.

[@markusmuller7485]

I haven't seen anyone talk about it, so here's my theory. Eve is the person that made a deal with Alastor. She's the only person from the trio (Adam, Lilith, Eve) that we haven't seen yet. Adam was the first soul in heaven and she was the first soul in hell and is trying to bring down heaven for it's hypocrisy.

[@CartoonUniverse]

third

[@CManDMan]

Everyone is stuck on the thought that Alastors deal had to be one where he gained power, no one seems to stop and consider his words "Once my wings are unclipped." this implies that his contract isn't one where he gets power. It's a contract that actually LIMITS his power, he states if it weren't for his deal he wouldn't have almost died which implies he'd be strong enough to kill adam or at the least be impervious in some way to him. Alastor is a deal maker and most notably uses voodoo black magic to make eldritch deals with people, he summons loa's (His "Boys", the little black guys that attack adam) and when he got to hell was already an unstoppable force that just rip tore through the pride ring then just disappeared? What if the reason he was so powerful when he got to hell is because he already had a deal with a powerful voodoo loa? Like say a figure such as Baron Samedi?(Death Loa, Basically the god of the dead and resurrection) or some sort of Eldritch entity? (Leviathan/Satan?) and when he lost to the V'z he was on the verge of death so he had to make a deal that placed a limit on his power but allowed him to survive (Most likely with lillith, hence why they've been gone for the same time frame.) and that's why almost losing his life to Adam or as he says "Alastor Altruist dies for his friends" then freaks out. We learn after that Pentious doing this gets him an instant ticket to heaven, if alastor knew this in some way and knew that it could potentially wreck all the deals he's made in hell it would definitely explain why he freaked out so much about it all, because that might literally be a potential death sentence for him in multiple ways. Also this would explain his messed up stitch face quite well. He's being restrained from smiling in his full capacity, because his power is bound, preventing him from wreaking the havoc that he was capable of when he was broadcasting screams on the broadcast.

[@CManDMan]

I would like to change this a bit btw, rather than editing it I'm just going to do a separate aside as a thought for everyone. It is entirely possible that Alastors deal is with Lillith given the time relations (7 Years etc). But I noticed something while watching this scene over again. I think that Alastors deal is with Satan. We know that satan is likewise a powerful deal maker demon as well, and for those who want to ask yes Satan in HH is separate from Lucifer, Satan is an Imp Demon who rules the Wrath Ring now but once united hell. Anyway, in the scene where he has stitch face and is making the deal. Just to his side you see a GIGANTIC set of Arrows with a circle that all converge in the center. It looks like the sigil for "Wrath" which would be satans gig and seems a bit to obvious to just let go. And considering Alastors color schemes are constantly shown as being Red/Crimson and Black/Green which are both color schemes attributed to Satan and Eldritch entities in the series it ligns up pretty good.

[@CartoonUniverse]

forth

[@golbez1583]

Tinfoil hat theory: jumping from what the video said, Al’s deal is actually not with Lilith, but rather with Root; the wording being something on the lines of infecting heaven with the ‘root of all evil' by any means necessary. Al's only helping Charlie b/c while he himself doesn't think they'll succeed, the redemption being pursued by Charlie and the denizens of the hotel is the best chance for Root to invade heaven; thus Al is obligated to assist in Charlie's endeavor.

i hope we get a backstory of alastor and vox's relationship as in the finale where vox and val sing, there is a picture of alastor and vox is on it as well but he is halfway ripped off, hinting at a deeper relationship between the two, this might also lead up to their fight and how alastor came to do the deal

I bet alastor's deal with lillith is he can return to hell only if he will risk his own life to save Charlie. Since he disappeared once he was almost dead he had infact fulfilled the contract by risking his life

[@Juliandank]

there is likely more to it but I think that is part of it

I think Eve could be another possibility that wasn't mentioned like we barely know anything about her but she's be alluded to twice now, once in intro and now Lucifer possibly hooking up with her.
