Devil

As the owner of the casino, the Devil lived in an Inky Hell and made deals with anyone who wanted their wishes fulfilled, at the cost of their souls. One day, impressed by Kaphead and Magman's string of wins at the craps table, he approached them and offered them all the loot in the casino if they won the next round. If they had lost, he would have taken their souls.

Pride, anger, laziness, lust. The only sins he hasn't committed yet are greed, envy, and gluttony.

• The devil mostly holds his pitchfork with his left hand, which indicates that he is left-handed;
• Most of his strength is contained in his pitchfork, which he carries with him at all times.
• His contracts, which he signed with those who were tempted to play, have an expiration date.

• He hates to be disappointed in someone, in something, and in himself.;
• He hates the necessary and monotonous meetings of Stickler;
  "He despises Caphead and Magman.";
  "He hates it when someone thwarts his plans.";

• Perhaps he likes pink, because throughout the series he often appears in clothes of this color. In addition, the bubbles of bad luck that he created to collect the showers, and the towel with his initial in the bathroom are also pink.;
• He likes to be admired and appreciated.;
• He often likes to be lazy.;
• He loves it when everything goes the way he intended.;
• Loves holidays and feasts;

There they find Dice performing. During the break, the Devil pounces on Dice and reminds him that he failed to catch Kaphead last time, and declares that if he fails, he will destroy him. However, instead of being scared, King Dice assures him that all this is part of his plan for redemption: Kaphead considers him his "manager", and he plans to force him to sign a business contract under which his soul will become the property of the Devil. Upon hearing this, the demon decides to give his former "number one" one last chance. King Dice hands the Cup a scroll as a contract confirming that the Cup is his official manager, but is refused. The cup declares that "the music is gone, but the comedy remains," citing Magman's ventriloquism as an example. This enrages the Devil, who, along with his Henchman, goes back to Hell. But before they can get into the elevator, they notice Dice coming out of the barn, and the Devil stops him. However, towards the end of the episode, we see a more positive interaction between them. Although the Devil is very disappointed in King Dice, he admits that Dice "has something that the organization has been missing for too long," and that it needs "his sparkle, zest and chic." Initially confused, King Dice agrees, and the two demons invite him into the elevator. After that, it can be assumed that the Devil and Dice began to treat each other better, or at least the Devil is ready to recognize the talents and abilities of King Dice. Despite the fact that King Dice serves the Devil, in the series he is opposed to him: both are villains who steal souls, and both occupy a high position, but if the inhabitants of the Ink Islands fear and are afraid of the Devil, then King Dice is a villain with a good reputation who is adored by the masses. Their methods of stealing souls are exactly the opposite: at the Devil's carnival, souls go to those who lose, and in the King Dice game show, to the winners.

Despite proclaiming himself number one, the Devil does not seem to pay attention to Dice's King, sometimes even forgetting who he is until he informs him that he has caught a Caphead (which is not true), as shown during Dice's break in the show "Roll the Dice". The devil finally calls him his "Number One," but not without warning that he "hates to disappoint." When he finds out that King Dice let Kaphead escape, he does not hesitate to threaten him, and then says that he is no longer his "Number One", and dismisses him from his position as the host of Roll the Dice. King Dice seems to be trying to act casual and calm towards his boss, but the Devil seems to respect the Henchman more than him. In another attempt to capture Kaphed's soul, the Devil, forced to submit to his demons of the third rank, releases them from the Underworld before King Dice realizes that he also needs Kaphed's soul. When he gets to the corn maze where Kaphed and Magmen are located, he destroys the demons one by one in order to catch Kaphed himself. However, his actions are discovered by a Henchman, who immediately reports to the Devil that only King Dice remains, although the Henchman did not tell him that he killed all the others. Considering that the Devil immediately decided to release the Four Horsemen instead of letting Dice try to grab the boys, it's likely that he was still upset that he ordered Dice to do it the first time (and he failed), and no longer trusted him. At one point, the paths of the Devil and the Dice King cross again after the former and his henchman decide to go to the "new club" that Dice has heard about (mainly in order to avoid having to go through a bookkeeping check with Stickler).

The fat demon falls for the bait for a while, but quickly realizes that his boss is lying and catches him red-handed when he tries to turn back time. Although the Devil tries to justify himself, the Henchman does not believe a single word of it and expresses his disappointment that the Devil is trying to cheat. The Devil, still trying to cover his tracks, calls the Henchman a brute, to which he only replies that the Devil should be ashamed. Thus, it is shown that although the Devil can draw others into various situations, for example, force them to give their souls, he does not succeed in deceiving a Henchman. They don't argue for long, until they notice that the teacup brothers have run away. In the end, the Henchman wins the bet.
At the moment, the Devil is putting on a show for his servants. However, Henchman is the only demon who is rooting for him, while the rest of the audience is not too interested. Henchman later accompanies the Devil after learning that Sally Stageplay is auditioning for Inkwell Island's most ambitious show to date: "Rogers Cup vs. Meteora: a new space opera." The Devil's motivation to audition is that, despite being feared, he wants to be adored and appreciated in the theatrical arts. Although the Henchman claims to adore him, the Devil insists that he wants to be appreciated by random strangers.
At one point, the Devil orders a Henchman to bring more doughnuts after the Sticker made him drop his own. Due to the fact that the Devil is in no hurry to return all the souls he lost due to Kaphed and Magman, or to collect the souls as a whole, he, according to Stickler, activated "Bubbles of Failure", which contain everything that the Devil holds dear (and that he himself created) to stimulate collecting souls. If he does not collect a single soul during the working day, all his assets will be confiscated forever. The henchman also appears in one of these bubbles, which clearly hints that, despite the Devil's rudeness, he really feels sympathy.

Although it is obvious that the Devil is very annoyed by this, he only thanks the Henchman for the reminder. The henchman also tries to cheer up the Devil, who is upset that he can no longer take Kaphead's soul because he missed the deadline, and reads him the newspaper headline. It doesn't help until the Devil hears a review about himself and that his grip is getting weaker, which angers him and makes him fry the newspaper with a pitchfork. Then Henchman incites the Devil to cause riots on the Ink Islands and thereby finally lifts his mood. The devil thanks him (this time sincerely) and sets off on his journey. After that, the Devil happily tells Henchman about the problems he has created. Later, Henchman helps him find the pitchfork and suggests that he retrace his steps, after which the Devil realizes that he left them lying by the tree. Soon after, they discover that Kaphed and Magman have the Devil's pitchfork. Later, we see two demons descending in an elevator with Magman, leaving the devastated Kaphead alone in the forest.
Despite the fact that he gave the invisible sweater to Stickler, which the Devil is already tired of, the king of the underworld does not seem to be mad at Henchman for this and does not even mention it. The Devil and Henchman's relationship is significant in the game "The Devil's Revenge!" The henchman and the Devil make a friendly bet on whether the Devil will be able to break the spirit of the Mug before the clock strikes twelve. The devil is betting that he will succeed. Knowing how unreliable the Devil is when it comes to betting, the Henchman immediately warns him not to cheat, and thereby wounds him to the heart. During the episode, the Devil tries to win the bet without cheating, but in the end, noticing that it's almost twelve o'clock, decides to cheat. He lies to a Henchman that he needs to pick up his dry cleaning.

Henchman —as his name implies, the Devil's henchman and closest associate. The henchman is friendly and willing to help the Devil, and despite his clumsiness, the Devil rarely shows aggression towards him and even seems to appreciate him. For example, he knows that Henchman is a big fan of the King Dice show and never misses a single episode. The devil trusts him so much that he admits that he was unable to get Kaphead's soul at the beginning of "Sweater Luck Next Time" and allowed him to heal his wounds at the end of the same episode. The Devil also seems to be listening to the Henchman's advice, especially regarding the Intruder, who can force the Caphead to take off his invisible sweater. The devil deliberately avoids attacking Henchman. Seeing the Devil tearing the pages of a book called "How to Control Your Rage," still upset that he still hasn't managed to get Kaphead's soul, Henchman tries to cheer him up by complimenting him on the fact that his fur has almost grown back, and offers him tea, but in vain: how only the Devil hears the word "cup", he pierces it with a pitchfork (without leaving a scratch on his assistant). Later, he helps the Devil send a squad of his best demons. However, taking out his anger on Kaphed, he accidentally destroys them, as well as his best demons. During this event, the Henchman demonstrates that he knows about the Devil's outbursts of withering rage: he hides behind a stalagmite, and then pulls back King Dice. Throughout the day, the Henchman corrects the Devil when he calls the Mouthpiece a "cup."

While the Devil is obsessed with Kapheda and his soul, his brother Magmen doesn't seem to be interested in him, even if he annoys him no less than Kapheda. Curiously, it is Magmen who manages to bypass all the traps of the Devil, but he never attacks him. Nevertheless, the Devil knows perfectly well that Kaphed is protected by the brotherly love of Magmen, and is not surprised when Magmen tells him that this is why his sweater is so effective, adding: "Of course it is." It can be assumed that the Devil cannot attack those who do not owe him their soul, as in the case of Magman, who has never lost in his game. However, this does not stop him from kidnapping Magmen to take revenge on Kaphed for stealing his pitchfork. In the Underworld, the Devil, wanting revenge on the two brothers, tries to break Magman's spirit and hopes, telling him that he stayed there for 80 years (actually only a couple of days, maximum), and Kaphed did not come to save him because he died long ago. Fortunately, Magmen is not led to this and humiliates the Devil again.

The Devil's only purpose is to take Kapheed's soul. He first attracted the attention of the Devil by winning several Soul Ball games. Hating show-off, the Devil himself stood in front of Magman and Kaphead and did everything to make the latter lose. However, Magmen managed to save his brother's soul, and the Devil went after them. The two brothers manage to escape from Karna-Evil after they free all the souls, and the Devil swears that Kapheed's soul, no matter what, will belong to him. At first, the Devil doesn't seem to care about Kaphead's soul, but he becomes enraged when he learns that King Dice has allowed him to escape. The Devil's irritation grows when Stickler asks him to return the soul that is missing from his collection, and in the end, the Devil decides to personally take Kaphead's soul. Meanwhile, Magmen knitted an invisible sweater for Kaphead, which prevents the Devil from taking his soul. The devil sets several traps for Kaphead to force him to take off his sweater, but Magman bypasses them all. When the Devil sees that both brothers are still alive after the burning of the forest, he cannot contain his anger and reluctantly gives up. The next time, his obsession only gets worse. He admits to Henchman that "the only thing that can make him feel better is to get the soul of this cup." Then he unsuccessfully tries several times to take Kaphed's soul, and each time he gets in the way of a sweater. He's even willing to paint the fence just because Kaphead promised him to take off his sweater if he did. Realizing that he has been deceived, the Devil returns to the two brothers, who took advantage of the fact that he was focused on his task and ran away to take a ride. After learning from a Henchman that the attraction in question is moving so fast that all its clothes are flying off, the Devil sees a great opportunity to get rid of the invisible sweater and invites Kaphead to wait with him.

After that, the Devil decides to just ignore the rules. However, it seems that the Devil only did this because he considers it a fair exchange: he gives away what he considers valuable (his pitchfork) for what he considers valuable (a Cup). Also, in one case, the Devil needs to return one soul to the Underworld to gain access to his precious possessions, even he cannot bring himself to steal the soul of an Old teapot after the old man mistook him for a stray cat and treated him with love and kindness. On Christmas Day, he gets very nervous about Santa Claus's Christmas ritual, and he even calls him a "total psycho" in conversation with a Henchman. Therefore, it is especially noted that the Devil tops the "Naughty List" for not having done anything good, even the smallest, since time immemorial. Despite the fact that the Devil enjoys the general fear and danger, there are more and more hints at the moment that he really needs recognition and love (not from a Henchman). This becomes apparent at the moment when he reacts very painfully to a bad review in his column. He bluntly admits that one of the reasons he wants to become a star is the love of the audience, "strangers." The climax comes when he walks away, barely holding back tears, and only Henchman remains next to him. In the end, Kaphead replays it into 'Rock, Paper, Scissors,' and the crowd lovingly greets cups and Miss Bowl. The devil is noticeably more active in achieving his goals.

For example, when Stickler tries to disrupt the celebration in order to convince the Devil to take Kaphead's soul, he ignores him, preferring to dance conga, eat stuffed eggs and cut the cake. He does not take out his anger on any of the demons, but sullenly agrees to collect the debt. In addition, it is shown in the moment that he arranges performances for his demons, although they do not share his enthusiasm for theatrical art. Curiously, when he's not fixated on souls, he can be quite sweet. The most obvious example is where he laughs at Caphead's jokes while they both queue for the ride. Besides, the Devil, even though he thinks about it, cannot take Magmen's soul after he has taken care of him and shown him nothing but love and kindness. This, as well as his communication with Henchman, indicates that he is able to appreciate any sincere kindness towards himself. It is quite consistent with his status as a ruler (although it is not advertised) that he is a rather regal and elegant man, which is especially noticeable during their first meeting with the cup brothers.
He has a rather perverted idea of fair play and justice: he gladly uses any opportunity to get Kaphead's soul, but, as he himself notes, Kaphead really lost at Soul Ball and therefore has to give up his soul, just like everyone else at the carnival. The devil also insists on painting Elder Kettle's fence in exchange for Caphead taking off his protective invisible sweater, and becomes enraged when the boys escape behind him. And although he doesn't hesitate to harm Magmen along with Kaphed whenever he has the chance, the Devil never threatens to take Magmen's soul as leverage, presumably because Kaphed is the one who owes him.

In addition, he seems to pay a little attention to his appearance: for example, he puts cucumbers on his eyelids when he takes a bath, and at some point he can be seen filing his nails. He spends most of his time lazing around in the Underworld, not caring about anything while his minions work hard for him. Despite his ability to teleport anywhere, anytime, he first just puts up wanted posters for Kaphead, rather than returning himself to collect what was due to him, which in turn gives Kaphead enough time to find Quadratus and enlist his support. He only starts acting when something goes wrong or when the Sticker forces him to do it. He gets even more violent when he finds out that his contracts have expiration dates. Despite his villainous features, he is capable of good deeds, and also possesses some positive qualities and even moral principles. One of his nice moments is replacing King Dice with a Henchman, a big fan of Dice and his show "Roll the Dice", as the host of Dice's radio show. It is also implied that he has a weakness for the Henchman and shows him more patience than his other henchmen. He constantly thanks him for his contribution to the common cause, sometimes suppresses the feeling of irritation and almost does not threaten him, even if his gratitude is not direct praise (although as events pass, his gratitude becomes sincere).Most likely, this was not part of his plans, but the fact that the Devil is throwing a party in honor of his achievement still allows his workers to finally rest after 3,000 years of (according to one of them) grueling work. Although this is not directly shown, there are hints that the Devil may have some respect for his other demons.

He also becomes more short-tempered and irritable, including towards other demons such as Henchman and Stickler. At the same time, the Devil is rather comically arrogant. He is incredibly proud of himself and believes that he will always win and eventually get what he wants. It is this pride that leads him to fail. Sometimes he gives himself a holiday because of how well he handles his duties, and believes that their most productive year is the result of his hard work and dedication, without giving credit to his employees, who actually did a great job. He's evil and wants everyone to know about it. In his song, he threatens Henchman to accept that he is a "real naughty boy." He is also very proud of the fact that the inhabitants of Ink Island scream and run away at the sight of him. Despite what you might expect from him, he loves Christmas. Mostly because the ubiquitous festive mood "evokes the devil in him." He also becomes more short-tempered and irritable, including towards other demons such as Henchman and Stickler.

Mostly because the ubiquitous festive mood "evokes the devil in him."

The devil is a manipulative, villainous, outrageous character obsessed with collecting souls. He is more fun and playful than in the game, and behaves more audaciously and childishly. In "Carn-Evil," he happily sings about how great it is to be one, how he enjoys being a mischievous bully to the locals of the Islands, and that his favorite hobby is collecting the souls of the inhabitants. He also shows sarcasm when he sees Kaphead playing Soul-Ball without losing a single time, and calls him a show-off. From this we can conclude that he generally hates exhibitionists. However, he can be very intimidating, in the moment where he threatens the King of Bones after his failure. The devil proves how nightmarish he can be by killing Miss Chalice in a frighteningly violent way as a deterrent before resurrecting her. He is short—tempered and (literally) explosive, he can easily level an entire carnival without even trying, he is capable of setting off a huge fiery explosion that will level an entire section of the forest, but he usually calms down or gets distracted as quickly as he gets angry - just Just in time for something else to piss him off. Another example of his rage is shown when he accidentally (and without a twinge of conscience) kills several of his demons during a fit of anger due to the fact that Kaphead annoys him by demonstrating his terrifying power. In the future, the Devil's hatred for Kaphead becomes even stronger — so much so that the mere mention of him is enough to cause explosive anger in him.

He has a thin black tail with tips in the form of a triangle at the end, a red nose that looks like a drop, yellow horns, straight, slightly tilted back, red irises, yellow eye whites. His coat is soft and neat, the coat is black, with a slight blue tinge. He has fat and wide hips, and bat-like ears, but longer and sharper. Although the Devil is essentially naked, except for his fur, he briefly appears in various outfits and accessories in the series, especially at performances. His main outfit consists of a white tailcoat, a matching top hat, white leggings and a red bow tie, which he wears during the performance and during the dance duel with Miss Chalice. Dressed or not, he walks barefoot, except for his outfits during his performance in the Underworld and later at the audition for Cupstaged, where he wears a blue and purple theatrical costume reminiscent of a prince's outfit and a pink ensemble with a black top hat and high-heeled boots. His winter clothes consist only of a red striped scarf.
