Stolas and Blitzo first met as children1. Stolas’ father, Paimon, introduced him to Blitzo during a circus visit to distract him from his arranged engagement to Stella1. They became friends, and despite being used by Blitzo for theft, Stolas remained unaware and cherished their friendship1. As adults, their relationship became semi-canon, with mutual feelings and an accidental past sexual partnership by a thieft attempt on Blitzo trying to steal the grimoire. The grimoire is a book that allows Blitzo to go to the human realm. 1. Stolas sought comfort from his failing marriage with Blitzo, who needed Stolas’ Grimoire for business purposes2. Heartbreak in the Last Three Episodes: In the episode titled “Apology Tour,” Blitzo attempts to apologize to Stolas for his past actions, but Stolas is deeply hurt and rejects the apology, leading to a rift between them3. The episode “The Full Moon” further explores their emotional turmoil, with Blitzo delivering a harsh speech that brings Stolas to tears4. Throughout these episodes, their relationship is strained by misunderstandings, jealousy, and Blitzo’s insecurities, culminating in a poignant heartbreak that affects both characters deeply.

Development

Development In "Murder Family", a poster can be seen in Blitzo's office that, while closer to his final design, retains his original proto-design's eyes. A recurring joke on Blitzo's Voxtagram posts is that he is bad at spelling.[17] Interestingly, Blitzo's spelling did not seem to be bad in the initial few posts when his account was started. It only become a feature of his character from this post onwards, until it eventually worsened to its current state. It's unclear if this is also an element of his character reflected in the show. Blitzo has been shown to have bad spelling in the show as well, as displayed in his text conversations with Millie in "Seeing Stars" and with Stolas in "Western Energy". According to Vivienne Medrano, early into writing the first season of Helluva Boss, she had decided that she wanted Blitzo and Stolas to have met as kids, and that this idea informed the rest of the series and especially season two.[18]

Personality

Personality Blitzo is a bombastic, big-talking, and sardonic imp. He is high energy and career-focused, having recently started his own company, something that's noted to be rare for an imp to achieve. He is very invested in the company's success and willing to make many personal sacrifices to achieve it. However, despite his enthusiasm to break out of the lowly social position his species is assigned in Hell. He is also, in many ways, wildly unprofessional and scattershot in his methods. Despite his status as his company's sole director, he can frequently behave in ways that are immature, self-absorbed, and even disrespectful towards his employees, affecting their level of respect for him. He is also willing to be manipulative in some questionable ways, sleeping with the married Stolas, initially in order to "borrow" his grimoire, the key element allowing him and his employees to fulfil contracts to assassinate people on Earth. Underneath Blitzo's powerful drive to succeed at all costs, however, is an emotionally troubled imp, one who is dealing with the repercussions of a checkered past, that has left many people he once knew, and is implied to have cared for, hurt and actively bitter towards him. Deep down, covered by his bluster, Blitzo is haunted by these ghosts and makes a habit of running from, rather than facing, his current problems in reaction. He struggles with genuine emotional connection, and appears to crave the idealized healthy relationship dynamics of his married employees, Moxxie and Millie, who he regularly spies on while they're in private, as well as the affection of his surly adoptive daughter, Loona. Blitzo is slightly more at home and focused when on the ground on assassination missions, as he is murder-savvy and can be gleefully sadistic with his targets, having minimal restraint in the more brutal killings. When push comes to shove in high danger and combative situations, Blitzo is also fiercely protective of his friends and family.

Appearance

Appearance Current Blitzo is quite tall for his species, and sports a harlequin-like aesthetic. He has red skin with white burn marks of various sizes that cover parts of his forearms, chest, and his tail, as well as most of the right side of his face. His irises are red and he has a heart-shaped skull symbol on the center of his forehead. Blitzo has fairly broad forearms and hands, and a long narrow head, out of which extends large, curved, black and white striped horns. He has black spines on his head and upper back, as well as on his tail. His tail ends with a triangular point that has a black spot at the tip. He has pointed feet with boot-like heels which are shown to have black on the heels and toe areas. Blitzo wears a tattered slate gray collared coat with red buttons down the breast, black knee-high boots matching the shape of his feet, and elbow-length black fingerless gloves featuring large, rounded yellow decorations on the upper side of them. In "The Full Moon", the yellow decoration on his left glove is infused with his own Asmodean Crystal. Blitzo also wears a red skull charm around his neck.
