Lucifer Morningstar is a fallen angel and a supporting character in Hazbin Hotel who made his debut in "Dad Beat Dad".

He is the father of Charlie Morningstar and the estranged husband of Lilith. He is the ruler of all of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Pride.

Lucifer is a slender-figured fallen angel who sports a near-resemblance to his daughter; having her white skin with rosy-cheeks, blonde hair with thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler-blonde highlights, and eyes with light yellow sclera and red pupils. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie, not by a large amount, but still notable. Lucifer's white-red clothing is somewhat like a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with several golden buttons - his coat worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. In "The Show Must Go On" his suit has red and golden epaulettes, resembling those of a ringmaster. He also wore a set of heeled black knee-high boots, and black leather gloves which covers the majority of his hands. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring. Lucifer carries an apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. As a former angel, he possesses three pairs of white wings with red feathers, which he can extend from his coat.

When he takes on his full demonic form, as well as displaying his wings, he displays a pair of red horns with an orb of fire between them and a thin crown resembling a snake with an apple above his hat. His eyes also change to have red sclera with yellow pupils. He also has a black tail with spikes that ends in a triangular tip with a red heart at the center.

Eyes also appear on the inside his coattails; a similar eye also appears on his bowtie. In addition, his entire body gives off a light white glow.

Despite his status as the ruler of all of Hell, Lucifer possesses a grandiose and dramatic nature, acting very over-the-top in most situations. He often switches between being silly and theatrical to awkward and melancholic. Like Charlie, Lucifer is ambitious in what he believes in. According to the storybook that Charlie read in "Overture", Lucifer was an idealistic dreamer whose accidental creation of Hell and subsequent banishment to it caused him to give up his dreams. After he and Lilith separated, Lucifer went into isolation and fell into a depression. He coped by crafting and hoarding tons of rubber ducks, spending years in his home. This obsession also caused him to become estranged from his daughter, to the point where he barely calls Charlie at all.

As a father, he falls short of expectations. Although he loves Charlie dearly, he seems to be preoccupied with his own problems. He seldom calls Charlie, and when he does, it's usually because he's bored or needs something. When Charlie reached out to him for help in setting up a meeting with Heaven, he was thrilled to hear from her. However, he couldn't recall where she was or what she was doing, even though she had shared her passion project, the Hazbin Hotel, with him months ago. He also wasn't aware that Charlie was dating someone, or that she was attracted to women. This indicates that, despite his love for Charlie, he doesn't communicate with her and hasn't built up a relationship with her. Although, it was shown that Lucifer was much closer to Charlie in her childhood, only becoming more distant in Charlie’s adulthood.

Although he understands his daughter's interest in rehabilitating Sinners, Lucifer is cynical about the idea of trying to save any of them, as he attempted to redeem sinners in the past, stating that Charlie doesn't know when he tried this all before, and that his dreams were too hard to defend.[7] Since Heaven was so unwilling to listen to him in the past, he does not want Charlie to go through the same thing. However, she still manages to convince him to arrange a meeting in Heaven for her and Vaggie, which helps Lucifer regain faith in her plans.

Lucifer is the first of the deadly sins to debut in Hazbin Hotel and the fourth to debut in the franchise overall.
The apple tucked in the brim of his hat, and on the end of his cane, seem to reference the story of Adam and Eve, where a talking snake (often interpreted as being the Devil) persuades the first woman, Eve, into eating a forbidden fruit (often depicted in pop-culture as an apple), resulting in her and Adam being thrown out of paradise.
According to Faustisse, Lucifer's favorite snack is caramel apples.

Faustisse believes that Lucifer is not a particularly good father. Despite them not specifying in what way that might be, they did say he still loves Charlie.[note 3]
As implied by Lute in "Overture" and elaborated on in "Dad Beat Dad", Lucifer works together with the Exorcists and Heaven in regards to the Extermination. Lute also stated that that he had somehow arranged a "pardon" for Charlie and the other Hellborn demons, making it so that Exorcists are only allowed to kill Sinners per Heaven's agreement with him.

According to Vivziepop, Lucifer can play many types of instruments very well, including the fiddle, which he plays "phenomenally well".[11]
During his duet with Alastor, Lucifer is shown playing a golden fiddle, a reference to the famous Charlie Daniels song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".
In the Helluva Boss episode "Loo Loo Land", Lucifer owns a theme park called Lu Lu World.[12]
In the same episode, it is revealed that the titular amusement park has an amusement ride named "Fun House" which has its exterior modeled after Lucifer's head.

Lucifer has a mass collection of rubber ducks.
He also owns a picture of himself hugging what looks like a younger Frederick von Eldritch.
In "The Show Must Go On," Lucifer implies that he had an affair with Eve at some point, though whether that's true or he just said that to enrage Adam is unknown.
Fitting his circus ringmaster theme, the ringtone on his phone is a very well-known motif from "Entry of the Gladiators", a classic song known for its association with the circus.
