Striker

Master Assassin — Exceptional with weapons, especially angelic/blessed ones that can kill high-status demons. Combat Expert — Hand-to-hand, rope/lasso mastery, gun proficiency, enhanced strength/endurance. Horse riding — Skilled rider on his hellhorse Bombproof. Musical Talent — Sings and plays guitar (boastful victory songs). Stealthy & Resourceful — Expert tracker, manipulator, and escape artist. High Pain Tolerance — Tanks serious injuries (stabbings, burns) and keeps fighting.

Arrogant & Prideful — Views himself as superior to most imps and openly belittles "weaker" ones (especially Moxxie). Ruthless & Sadistic — Enjoys torture, humiliation, and prolonged suffering; violent with little hesitation. Deep Class Hatred — Resents Hell's nobility ("bluebloods") for exploiting lower-class demons; motivated by perceived injustices. Ambitious & Driven — Aspires beyond assassin work to kill Overlords and royals; collects powerful weapons. Cunning & Manipulative — Socially intelligent; uses psychological tactics (e.g., exploiting Blitzo's insecurities). Charismatic & Charming (when he wants to be) — Can win people over with smooth talk and compliments. Fearless & Composed — Keeps cool under pressure, even when cornered or outnumbered. Prudish — Unusually uncomfortable with overt sexuality or innuendo (outbursts like "WHY'S IT ALWAYS A SEX THING?!"); contrasts with typical demon behavior.

Hybrid Nature — Unique imp traits possibly from mixed heritage (snake/reptilian influence). Wanted Criminal — Posters across rings; high body count. Irony — Hates bluebloods but collaborates with them (Stella, Crimson) for resources. Complexity — Not purely evil; driven by class resentment and survival/ambition, leading some fans to speculate redemption potential.

Tall, slim, athletic build — Rivals Blitzo in height and stature but leaner and more agile. Pale orange imp-hybrid skin with serpentine facial features (snake-like snout). Distinctive eyes — Bright yellow sclera, slit pupils with dark green rings, black eyelids (hypnotic/snake-like). Ivory horns (jagged stripes) and short messy ivory hair.

Animalistic traits — Hisses like a snake/crocodile; glowing eyes in dark; rattles tail when agitated.

Debut ("The Harvest Moon Festival," S1E5): Hired as a farmhand at Millie's family ranch (Rough n' Tumbleweed Ranch) in the Wrath Ring, he's secretly contracted by Stella to assassinate Stolas during the festival. He excels at ranch work, competes (and ties) in the Pain Games with Blitzo, and sings a taunting song. Moxxie discovers his blessed rifle (capable of killing royalty). Striker overpowers Moxxie and Millie but is stopped by Blitzo and the crew. He escapes, reports failure to Stella, and vows revenge.

"Western Energy" (S2E4): Hired again by Stella, he kidnaps and tortures Stolas (tying him to train tracks, stabbing with a blessed knife, breaking his leg). He rants about class inequality and royals. The hit is called off (Stolas is more useful alive for divorce leverage via Andrealphus). IMP rescues Stolas; Striker fights them, gets burned, and escapes but remains a wanted criminal (posters in multiple rings).

"Oops" (S2E6): Working for Crimson (Moxxie's dad), he captures Blitzo and Fizzarolli for ransom. He berates them for associating with royals (sparing Blitzo more hate since it's just sex, not romance). A fight ensues; he gets burned again and flees.

"Mastermind": Testifies in IMP's trial (in exchange for pardon), lying or spinning events to implicate them.

Striker speaks with a strong Southern/Western drawl—think cowboy outlaw mixed with smooth-talking snake. His voice (originally Norman Reedus for a seductive, gravelly charm; later Edward Bosco for a more menacing, unhinged edge) delivers lines with confidence, sarcasm, and menace. He uses folksy phrases like "howdy," "little lady," "rodeo clown," "bluebloods," and "fancy-ass," often laced with profanity when angry.

Examples:Charming/introducing himself: "Well, howdy! Oh, lookie here! You must be the famous Mildred! Heard some good things about you from your folks, little lady." Manipulative: "Blitzo, c'mon. You know the two of us are superior than most of our kind... Why struggle to run a business that is rigged against you, when you could partner up with me and kill the unkillable?" Angry/ranting: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! I'M TRYING TO DO MY FUCKING JOB! ... Not every ring is some fancy ass city, with some fancy ass mansion, that only fancy ass royals get to live in. Some of us have hard lives... taken away by fuckers like you!" Threatening: "You're a smartass, hm? 'Cuz once I split your neck open and let you choke on your own blueblood..." Prude outburst: "SHUT THE FUCK UP! WHY'S IT ALWAYS A SEX THING?!"

Striker is arrogant, prideful, violent, ruthless, and sadistic, but also cunning, manipulative, charismatic, and ambitious. He views himself as superior to most imps and delights in belittling those he sees as weak, especially Moxxie (whom he humiliates and tortures). His core drive is a deep, personal hatred of Hell's nobility ("bluebloods"), whom he accuses of exploiting and taking everything from lower-class demons like imps. He takes genuine pleasure in targeting high-status demons to prove his superiority.

Despite his violence, he respects decisiveness and skill. He compliments Blitzo on building his own business (rare for imps) and tries to recruit him by exploiting his insecurities about his relationship with Stolas. Striker is fearless in combat and socially smart, maintaining composure even when held at gunpoint. He is highly ambitious, seeking powerful angelic weapons to take down Overlords and royals, ironically working with nobles like Stella to get them.

Notably, he is a prude compared to most demons. Sexual innuendo irritates him, and displays of arousal (especially masochistic ones from Moxxie or Stolas) shatter his cool facade. Yet he owns a phallic statue of himself and can set aside his discomfort for manipulation. He shows some complexity: polite and conversational with clients, but vengeful and unhinged when plans fail. Some fans see potential for redemption or anti-hero arcs due to his survival-driven motivations rather than pure malice

He hisses like a snake/crocodile, and his tail rattles. He has musical talent, singing a boastful victory song with guitar in his debut.

Striker is a tall, slim, pale-orange-skinned imp hybrid (confirmed as such, making him the first known hybrid in the series) with a distinctly serpentine face that sets him apart from typical imps. His eyes feature bright yellow sclera, dark green rings around slit pupils, and black eyelids, giving him a hypnotic, predatory gaze reminiscent of snakes (similar to Kaa from The Jungle Book). He has a small black mustache, sharp light-yellow teeth, and one prominent dull gold fang. His short ivory hair is slightly messy, and his upward-pointing ivory horns have a jagged stripe pattern unlike standard imps.

His long tail has four black stripes at the base, a single black stripe on the fork, and eight red-and-black spikes. It often rattles like a rattlesnake when agitated. He dresses in classic southern cowboy style: a large gray hat (with horns poking through), red bandana, light gray jacket with darker lapels and tassels, black turtleneck under a dark gray vest with yellow buttons, black fingerless gloves, ripped ivory jeans, and knee-high dark gray cowboy boots with red accents. He sometimes chews on a wheat straw
