Personality

His demeanor, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to that of an old-fashioned radio announcer and he speaks with a transatlantic accent, often using quaint anachronisms such as "the movie show" and referring to Charlie as a "charming beautiful demoness."

When he was alive, he lived a double life as a radio host and serial killer in New Orleans, Louisiana, and witnessed the stock market crash of 1929. He was close friends with Mimzy and was a regular at the jazz club where she worked, where he would get very drunk and dance with her. Eventually, Alastor died in 1933, when he was between 30 and 40 years old, from an incident involving dogs and ended up in Hell. Once he arrived in Hell, Alastor gained raw power that had never before been seen in a human soul and he used this to become an Overlord, trampling over some of the powerful demons that had been in charge of the realm for centuries. He also broadcast this massacre on the radio for all to hear and witness his power, thus earning him the nickname "Radio Demon". As a result, many began to fear the unpredictable strength he possessed and described him as a mysterious person who caused chaos despite his smile. He became famous enough that the Princess of Hell, Charlie, recognized him even though he had never formally introduced himself. At some point he met Mimzy, who he helped whenever she got into trouble. At another point, he also befriended another Overlord; Rosie, who became one of his closest friends. He became friendly with most of Cannibal Quarter, Rosie's main domain, except for Susan, whose rude and annoying nature annoyed Alastor. At an unknown time, Husk, who was an Overlord at the time, lost the souls he possessed in a bet and made a deal for the ownership of their souls with Alastor.
