Satan

Satan is a major character in Helluva Boss who made his official debut in the episode "Mastermind". He is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Wrath.[1][2]

Due to Lucifer Morningstar's absence, Satan became the stand-in leader of the Sins and ruler of affairs in Hell.

Satan is a titanic and muscular draconic demon. He has two pairs of warm orange-yellow eyes, and two pairs of striped-horns that are different in appearance - the outer horns are longer and are two shades of mauve, while the inner horns are shorter and are black-and-white, similar to that of a male imp, and they are positioned in a way that resembles a pitchfork.

His skin appears to be different shades of red with claw-like fingers, darker-red markings, and warm orange-yellow lava-like stripes covering his wings, neck, and left arm, while on his right the stripes are dark red. He also sports black spikes coming out his back, all the way down to his large, demonic tail, which has a spearhead-shaped point at the end.

Satan is dressed in a way that is reminiscent of traditional American western-style clothing, as a nod of his association with imps of the Wrath Ring. His outfit consists of a mauve tank top under a black torn vest with tassels, red lapels, and golden fasteners shaped like barbell weights, black leather trousers with a belt that has a golden skull buckle, and black cowboy ankle boots.

Anyone who breaks Hell's laws Spending hours in court Demons who question his ways of punishment The way Andrealphus compliments his sister

Matching the sin he represents, Satan is shown to be a very wrathful demon with anger issues and he chronically has outbursts which leave him out of control. His uncontrollable rage is too much to the point that he needs a therapist to act like a "shoulder angel" to remind him to keep calm. Despite this, he can also be reasoned and well-sophisticated most of the time, unless he is provoked.

He is shown as having little to no care towards the demons that are below the nobility in the hierarchy of Hell, especially imps, whom he claims to have created for the purpose of obeying orders and doing their jobs. Despite holding royal demons in a much greater regard, he didn't hesitate to strip Stolas of his power and title and give it to Andrealphus as punishment for breaking demon law. He also quickly dismissed Asmodeus and Beelzebub's request to give Blitzo a fair trial, using the opinion of the rest of the court to justify it.

Satan is also shown as being immensely vain and arrogant, reveling on his position as leader of the Deadly Sins in Lucifer's absence. Despite the fact that Lucifer is the first ruler of Hell, Satan lies and proclaims himself as being the original ruler of Hell, though it is shown that Beelzebub and Asmodeus are aware of his lie.

Despite this, however, Satan is implied to have a slightly friendlier demeanor when off-the-clock, which is suggested with Beezlebub's comments and how she saw him as a brother figure. Furthermore, he is willing to let others go if they plead not guilty, such as when Blitzo convinced him not to execute the rest of I.M.P and just him, and again when he released Blitzo after Stolas admitted to being responsible for his crimes.

He doesn’t seem too fond of spending a long period of time in court, particularly when it is nearly lunch time. Because of this, Satan would prefer having the defendant executed rather than listen to their testimony if it means speeding it up.

Immortality - As he is called "your majesty" in "Mastermind", it can be assumed that Satan is demonic royalty and biologically immortal, being able to live for a long period of time and only able to be killed by angelic weaponry. Size alteration - While Satan's "normal" size alone towers over most demons, even his fellow Sins, he shows that he can easily alter his size at will, making himself even larger to an unspecified degree. Flight - Satan is able to fly thanks to his giant draconic wings. Environment manipulation - Satan can warp the colors, ambience, and illumination of every room and palace where he is, as shown when Satan interrupts Stolas' musical number and the courtroom turns into an orange-yellow color. Pyrokinesis - As shown in his song, Satan is able to create images out of flame, like the image of a six-winged angel. The smoke that emits from his nostrils when he is angry may suggest he can also breathe fire. Power deactivation - Satan, with the use of an enchanted set of rings bearing the sigils of the Seven Deadly Sins, can strip high-ranking demons like Goetic aristocrats of their powers and status. He performed this on Stolas and set it for a hundred years for providing the grimoire to Blitzo and allegedly commanding him to use it illegally. Enhanced strength - Befitting his size, Satan seemingly possesses incredible physical strength, such as being able to crack the floor when he steps off his throne. He also displayed his strength when he shakes the ground by slamming onto it during the trial.

Leadership - As the stand-in leader of the Seven Deadly Sins and the rest of Hell due to Lucifer's absence, Satan has a strong sense of strictness and command within its government, with the other Sins deferring to him as their adjudicator without questioning his ability. He is also incredibly intimidating compared to the other Sins, to the point even high-ranking Hellborn species are terrified of displeasing him by stepping out of line. Musical talent - Satan is shown to be a decent singer, as seen in his song.

Past Not much is known about Satan's history other than at some point he joined Lucifer as part of the Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Wrath. Satan was also the alleged creator of the imp race.

At some point, Satan assumed leadership of the Seven Deadly Sins and became the de facto ruler of Hell during Lucifer's absence.

Helluva Boss Season 2 "Mastermind" Satan leads the trial in which Blitzo is accused of breaking Hell's law by travelling to Earth for his job. As the trial goes on, Satan listens to Andrealphus and Striker's testimonies and decides to sentence Blitzo and his crew to death, rejecting a fair trial despite Asmodeus and Beelzebub's requests in favor of a quick execution, simply because he would rather have lunch than go through the full process of court. However, Blitzo convinces Satan to spare his crew and execute him alone instead.

Just as Blitzo is about to be executed, the trial is interrupted by Stolas, who takes the blame for Blitzo's case, claiming himself to be the "mastermind", which appears to anger Satan. Satan has Blitzo to be released as Stolas faces the consequences for his crimes. When Stolas placed his head on the execution stand as he thought that he would be executed, Satan explained that he won't have Stolas executed due to being a Goetic prince. With Andrealphus' suggestion for a fitting punishment, Satan ultimately decides to sentence Stolas to banishment, stripping him of his powers and status for the next 100 years.

"SILENCE! ...We are here to sentence the criminal Imp, Blitzo." ―Satan, during the trial of Blitzo "You, and your crew are on trial for stealing a powerful Goetic heirloom for undocumented personal use in the mortal realm. How do you plead?" ―Satan, addressing the situation "What a disappointment." ―Satan, after Blitzo says he could've killed Stolas himself "Why don't we take a vote?" ―Satan, suggesting the other Sins about voting "Who wants to hours of testimony?" ―Satan, asking the court about testimony "Who wants to kill this imp bastard and get home for lunch?" ―Satan, asking the court about execution "For the treacherous crime of stealing a Goetia's grimoire for illegal use, bringing harm to a Goetic prince and accessing the mortal coil without clearance or procedure: you, Blitzo, and your crew, are hereby sentenced to death." ―Satan, giving a death verdict "And due to your bold actions against the laws of Hell, your execution will be broadcasted across the Seven Rings. To remind all of imp-kind why our power must never be challenged again." ―Satan, making the I.M.P's execution public "YOU DARE TRY TO TELL ME HOW TO PUNISH!?" ―Satan, to Blitzo "...Fine. I suppose I created imp-kind to be obedient, I see no reason to punish the dutiful. Just axe the mouthy one." ―Satan, sparing the rest of Blitzo's crew "Do you have any final words? We'll pretend to care." ―Satan, to Blitzo "What in Lucifer's Hell is this?!" ―Satan, when Stolas interferes Blitzo's execution "Well, isn't that adorable. We have been betrayed by one of our own. A Goetic demon. Your hubris has gotten the better of you, Prince Stolas." ―Satan, to Stolas "Stolas of the Ars Goetia, you are a disgrace." ―Satan, to Stolas "Uhhh... What are you doing?" ―Satan, when Stolas kneels, ready to be executed "phah! Aw no, 'course not. You are a Goetia." ―Satan, to Stolas "Yeah you did. But, you are demon royalty sooo... your life has actual worth." ―Satan, sparing Stolas

"No. Ooh, ooh. No, no. You still definitely fucked up, we just need to figure out a fitting punishment for you." ―Satan, about Stolas' punishment "...Yeah that works. STOLAS! I hereby strip you of your status, your power, and your title." ―Satan, punishing Stolas "...For the next hundred years." ―Satan, about Stolas' punishment "You will have to live amongst the citizens of Hell, and revel in your failings!" ―Satan, to Stolas while stripping his powers and status "I guess that settles it. clears his throat Court's adjourned, time for lunch!" ―Satan, closing the court case
