Angel Dust

In life, Angel Dust, then named Anthony, was a gangster and member of a notorious Italian crime family based in New York City. He was naturally raised into the lifestyle of a mafioso, thus all he knew was that kind of life. He was the son of mafia don Henroin, the younger brother of Arackniss - who was favored by his father over him -, and the twin brother of Molly. Growing up, Angel was mentally abused by his father and brother and his mental health declined massively when he was drafted into the military during World War II, where he witnessed the horrors of war first hand. In 1947, Anthony died alone, having overdosed on phencyclidine (PCP), hence his namesake down in Hell. Upon being reborn in Hell as a spider demon, Angel quickly became involved in degrading sex work and petty crime, the latter of which led him to become acquainted with one of Hell's most infamous Overlords, Valentino, after the moth demon's underlings caught the spider attempting to steal from their boss. Enticed by Valentino's promises of fame, security, and adoration, Angel sold his soul to Valentino for a job at Porn Studios, which subsequently led him to become one of, if not the, biggest adult film superstars and celebrities in Hell, earning recognition from across the seven rings.

In spite of gaining widespread recognition for his performances in nightclubs and appearances in pornographic films, Angel Dust endured horrifying physical, sexual, and financial abuse at the hands of Valentino throughout his 70 years of servitude. Both financially and sexually exploited, he sought solace in a world of narcotics, sexual indulgence, and hedonistic pursuits, all while hiding his vulnerability behind his larger-than-life attitude and a dark sense of humor. After enduring decades of mistreatment, Angel eventually turned against his pimp, joining Charlie Magne and her startup business, the Hazbin Hotel, becoming the establishment's inaugural success story in breaking free from the clutches of old habits and Valentino's domination. Over time, his motivations shifted from mere desires for shelter and safety to a genuine commitment to validate Charlie's belief in redemption. This marked a significant transformation as Angel worked towards genuine personal growth and positive change. As his journey unfolded, he formed new friendships, found allies, and confronted his past demons and adversaries, all while grappling with his past under the control of his former pimp and abusive father. His ultimate goal became breaking free from the hold of his former pimp and seeking redemption for his transgressions and learning to love himself, with the aspiration of eventually achieving a place in Heaven.

Contrary to initial perceptions, Angel Dust possesses a remarkably complex and intricate personality. He projects an outward image of sarcasm, cunning playfulness, and bold, sometimes vexatious sassiness. He uses his sexual and comedic facade as a shield to obscure his inner vulnerability and tumultuous emotional state. Though he actively maintains the façade of a gangster and sex enthusiast, he rarely hesitates to engage in recklessness, often at the expense of others. Despite his seeming lack of empathy, Angel harbors a genuine disdain for his pursuits and life choices. Yet, he initially denies these feelings, instead resorting to a world of substance abuse and sexual encounters to blur the harsh realities he faces. While Angel indulged in vice and uninhibited sexuality might have offered fleeting enjoyment, the association of these experiences with his profession and his abusive ex-pimp, Valentino, gradually eroded any pleasure they could have brought to him. Although he initially portrays a lack of interest in redemption, bragging that his association with the Happy Hotel is motivated by free rent and a room to store all of his gimp suits, Angel's outlook shifted over time. He sincerely developed a desire for self-improvement, though he grappled with lingering doubts about his capability of redemption. Even subsequent to breaking free from Valentino's grip, he grapples with drug withdrawal and managing his behavior – a result of his prolonged exposure to that way of life. Nonetheless, Angel remains a very strong and confident person, bragging that his defiance helps him get through it, and he will do anything for the people he cares about.

As a result of his determination to safeguard his more vulnerable side, Angel Dust has a preemptively defensive personality. He conceals significant portions of his authentic, sensitive self, believing it to be a necessary measure for his self-preservation. Anticipating a lack of kindness from those around him, he's taken aback when Charlie surprisingly extends monetary help after he agreed to participate in the Happy Hotel project, ensuring that he no longer would have to sell his body for money. His inherent difficulty in trusting others stems from the enduring trauma inflicted by Valentino's abusive treatment. This is particularly poignant as Angel had genuinely cared for Valentino and believed in their mutual affection. In a subsequent instance, when Charlie attempts to offer solace upon sensing his distress, Angel's response is one of vehement defensiveness. He forcefully dismisses her attempt at consolation, expressing his anger by rebuffing her and flipping her off before departing. Initially, he only sought comfort from Cherri Bomb when it comes to his internal battles, while he either feigns well-being or reacts angrily when others attempt to empathize with his struggles.

Angel is a serial prankster, a trait he picked up and shares with his sister Molly. He consistently engages in lighthearted mischief directed at the fellow residents of the Hazbin Hotel, laughing hysterically at their reactions. He puts dildos in Vaggie's dresser, plants gay pornographic magazines and a TV in Alastor's office, scares Husk with cucumbers and water, switches Baxter's vials when he isn't looking, and even employs prank guns to terrify enemies or rapacious sinners who don't take "no" for an answer. He switches between playful and destructive as he wishes, and does not care too much for responsibility as he would rather engage in a turf war or sexual activities than clean up a mess he caused. Angel exudes a flirtatious demeanor, making advances on practically any man who crosses his path. He's notably forward in his interactions with figures like Husk, Alastor, and Fergus. Notorious for his explicit, offensive, and risqué sense of humor, he specializes in crass jokes, profane language, and sexual double entendres. He frequently resorts to hurling insults at individuals, irrespective of provocation, deriving satisfaction from pissing people off in others. He is also not above saying sexist or racist jokes solely to piss people off and amuse himself; Examples of this include remarks such as slyly advising Vaggie not to "get [her] taco in a twist" and directing misogynistic comments towards both her and Charlie. Angel Dust's choice of aliases (Anita Hanjaab, Harry Cox, A.S Muncher) for his disguises also demonstrates his penchant for using sex-related wordplay. He crafts these names as playful innuendos, intertwining his mischievous humor with his alter ego personas.

Angel embodies a candid, abrasive, and brutally honest attitude, which he executes with a distinct flair. He consistently maintains an air of flamboyance, nonchalance, and self-assuredness, carrying this demeanor wherever he goes. This demeanor allows him to stay composed even during high-pressure situations. For instance, he exhibited little concern when confronted by Bruce and his gang in the midst of a drug transaction, opting to continue taunting them despite multiple guns pointed his way. This cool-headedness extends to his engagement with Cherri Bomb during a turf conflict, where he managed to uphold a casual conversation while simultaneously battling alongside her. Beneath his flamboyant and playful exterior, Angel is a very capable and formidable gangster. He is an extremely competent marksman with a great variety of skills, which he acquired from doing jobs for the mafia as well as his time in the military. His skill set encompasses a broad spectrum, rendering him an invaluable ally. He can adopt female disguises to infiltrate different businesses. This competence is evident in his execution of numerous successful operations for Valentino, demonstrating a high degree of proficiency with minimal setbacks. Swift and agile in his approach, Angel adeptly navigates assignments, often displaying remarkable speed and precision. His ability to seamlessly adopt disguises and invent new personas on the spur of the moment empowers him to infiltrate even well-fortified locations, highlighting his resourcefulness. Initially, Angel did gain genuine enjoyment from criminal activity, including engaging in murder, especially if he personally believed that his victims deserved it.

Angel's composed demeanor occasionally gives way to genuine displays of anger, heightened emotions, and surprise. Notably, when coerced into kissing and having sex with Valentino , he feigned enjoyment. However, the weight of the experience led him to experience a powerful emotional breakdown when alone at his motel. Such instances showcase his vulnerability and the complexity of his internal struggles. Angel's emotional reactions are particularly intense when the safety of his loved ones is compromised. He readily succumbs to feelings of distress or fury in these situations, a showcase of his deep-seated care for those close to him. While Angel openly embraces his sexual orientation and even the label of "slut," he vehemently objects to being subjected to homophobic slurs. His response to Bruce and his gang highlights this sensitivity, as he takes swift action, wiping out the shark and his gang before Bruce could call him a homophobic slur, and then mockingly asking Bruce if he wanted to finish his sentence while pressing a gun against the shark's head. In a more humorous vein, Angel's agitation and fury surface when he encounters improper preparation of Italian cuisine, generating comedic moments.

Angel Dust possesses a strong sense of narcissism and is a bit of a diva, as he obsesses over his appearance, frequently refers to the denizens of Hell as ugly freaks, and loves commenting on his "pretty face" and body. He is very concerned and careful about his appearance, often taking hours to apply his makeup and pamper his fluff to "perfect" his appearance. He makes himself out to be the most important person in the room, often acting needy toward others and giving them complex requests. He is a bit of a neat freak in that he hates dirt and blood, as they are difficult to get out of his clothing and especially his fluff, and he is careful to not dirty himself by getting blood on him while engaging in crime. Angel is also very concerned and prideful about maintaining his reputation, not wanting word to get around that he would give his sexual services to random people behind Valentino's back to survive or appear that he's trying to "go clean" by being seen at the Happy Hotel. Beyond the provocative and hedonistic exterior that Angel Dust portrays, lies a compassionate individual whose past has left him scarred but has not extinguished his capacity for care. Despite his shattered state, he exhibits deep loyalty and a strong protective instinct toward those he holds dear. His connection with Cherri Bomb is a vivid testament to this loyalty and friendship. He adamantly refused to carry out Valentino's directive to eliminate her, even daring to turn his weapon against the moth demon as an act of retaliation. This camaraderie is further highlighted when he instinctively shielded Cherri Bomb being shot with the Egg Bois' net gun.

Angel's loyalty extended to Charlie as well, evolving over time. He came to truly value Charlie's belief in his potential for transformation, fostering a deep loyalty towards her. This loyalty was most apparent when he took a life-threatening bullet to his leg while shielding Charlie from Valentino's attack during the confrontation with the Vees in Butcher Town. His self-sacrifice demonstrated the profound extent of his care for her. In the realm of Purgatory, Angel's influence was instrumental in rallying the demoralized hotel crew to mount a daring rescue mission for Charlie, who had been abducted by Lucifer and Satan. Even as a gangster and criminal who enjoys killing people who, in his mind, deserve it, Angel has a moral code, as he objects to killing innocent people, as implied by Vox calling Angel a "pussy", in reference to an off-screen event where Angel spared a defenseless woman while carrying out one of Valentino's crimes. Angel was also shown to be extremely distressed and uneasy whenever compelled to partake in one of Valentino's snuff films, displaying an aversion to taking lives for the purpose of gratifying mass sexual desires. Valentino had to use a revolver to coerce to Angel into committing the act during one of their film shoots. He also has some sense of honor, as he chose to save his estranged and hated brother Arackniss from The Insurgency since Arackniss had previously saved him from being killed by their father Henroin.

Furthermore, he loved his pet pig, Fat Nuggets, so much so that he considered Nuggets to be one of the only things that kept him going Angel Dust grapples with profound psychological fears rooted in the dread of isolation. These fears seem to stem from an implied past experience where he faced death alone, devoid of companionship, which has deeply scarred him. Within the confines of the hotel, he deliberately surrounds himself with other patients and staff members. This approach provides him with a buffer against the specter of solitude and the uncertainty of unforeseen adversities. By maintaining a presence of people around him, he seeks to quell the unsettling possibility of being left alone in dire circumstances. This fear of isolation sheds light on his protracted association with Valentino. A pivotal factor that tethered him to Valentino was the belief that separation from the moth pimp would inevitably result in his solitary existence. Valentino capitalized on this vulnerability, exploiting Angel's fear to manipulate and control him effectively in Hell. He even went as far as to torture and interrogate one of Valentino's men to get information on where Fat Nuggets was after the moth demon took the pig. When Fat Nuggets was murdered by Valentino, Angel Dust become very depressed and despondent, to the point of attempting suicide, although he did more or less recover from this.

Angel has a notable soft spot for children and is great with them in general, which was displayed by his quickly forming a friendship with Charlie's Angels, due to them humanizing him, listening to his stories, and motivating him to become a better person. He will happily go out of his way to brutalize or kill anyone who intentionally harms children in any way. Regardless, while Angel is generally friendly towards children, he is still somewhat irresponsible around them, as he frequently spouts obscenities even when in their presence. He showed his willingness to make drastic decisions to ensure the safety of Charlie's Angels when he made a deal with Satan in exchange for their safety after the Devil had possessed them, and tenderly comforted the terrified children once the Devil released them from its possession. Angel is also rather easygoing around Manco, sympathizing with the child due to his traumatic experience while imprisoned by Satan. Angel is also surprisingly compassionate at times, as he noticed his teasing about the hotel’s lack of success was upsetting Charlie, which caused him to stop mocking her and almost apologize, although he ultimately decided to leave her alone.

Appearance This body is flawless! Everyone wants summa me, and I got the creepy fan letters to prove it! Angel Dust to Vaggie, regarding his appearance. Angel is a humanoid, bipedal spider demon with a pencil-thin build. He stands at around 7 feet tall naturally and is around 8 feet with his heels on. He is covered in fluffy, white fur and has pink spots throughout his fluff, with the three spots under his eyes being smaller eyes. Angel Dust has a distinctive, swooping hairstyle that always maintains its shape regardless of which angle he is viewed from. It is never seen straight even when he is facing forward and merely flips to whichever direction Angel is facing whenever he turns. He wears eye shadow and eyeliner, both of his irises are pink, and his left eye has a dark sclera and no pupil, possibly as a result of being injured in a fight, or at the hands of Valentino. Angel previously possessed a single golden fang among his sharp teeth, a trait he shared with his boss, Valentino, but tore the gold tooth from his mouth after renouncing the moth demon

He has a pink heart on the back of his head as well as on his chest, with a line going down to his crotch area. One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest, often giving a first-hand impression to others that he actually has breasts. In actuality, his chest is composed entirely of fluff, and the fluff, which Angel treats as if they were actually breasts, is a cluster of his fluff combed and pampered up over time due to the tightness of his jacket. He has pink strips down the length of his shins, and his feet are round-shaped and resemble that of an actual spider; he has only two toes with two large, pink claws protruding from the tips. Though usually depicted with six limbs, Angel Dust has a third retractable set of arms that he can summon to use at will. However, he permanently lost his middle lower left arm when Valentino shot it off in "Take Us Back" until it was restored by Lux much later on. Angel Dust's primary attire consists of a white suit with pink stripes throughout, a black bow tie with a pink center, a black choker, long, pink gloves on all of his hands, black short shorts, and long, black, thigh-high heel boots. When engaging in crime or deals, he often wears a white trilby with a pink band and a black feather attached to it. During the gang war with Sir Pentious, Angel's shadow is briefly depicted as different from him, being taller with six arms and red eyes. This seems to be a glimpse at his Full Demon Form.

Powers and Abilities Natural Powers Demonic Transformation: When going through fits of extreme emotion, Angel Dust can voluntarily transform into a more intimidating, animalistic form, and then shift back to his normal form. Immortality: As he has already experienced death, Angel Dust lives eternally as an undead soul and is incapable of dying through conventional or mortal means. Nigh-Invulnerability: As a sinner, Angel Dust is extremely tough, and can take ungodly amounts of punishment and get up seconds later as if nothing happened. In his first encounter with Cherri Bomb and the Resistance, he easily survived a van exploding in his face, and despite being pushed back by the explosion and flying violently into a car, was only mildly dazed. When fighting Sir Pentious with Cherri Bomb, Angel displayed no signs of pain or injury whatsoever when the snake wrapped him in a chain and violently hurled him onto the ground, casually responding to the attack with a sexual remark. While fighting Valentino in Baxter's laboratory, Angel withstood a severe beating from Valentino, including being violently pinned and slammed into multiple surfaces by Valentino's smoke trails. Still, he was able to keep fighting back during the assault, summoning the strength to raise his machine gun with one arm to shoot the moth as he was using his smoke trails to strangle and constrict him. Later, while attempting to fight Lucifer himself in Purgatory armed with a machine gun, Angel displayed mild discomfort when the King of Hell melted his machine gun and caused it to violently explode in his face. Only holy weaponry/magic is capable of doing any permanent or severe damage to Angel Dust.

Regeneration: As a result of being a sinner, Angel's healing capabilities were at an amazingly high level, allowing him to quickly heal from being shot, stabbed, melted, crushed, etc. In addition, he possesses a greatly enhanced metabolism, immune system, and vitality allowing him to heal much faster than an average human and consume copious amounts of drugs and alcohol without feeling severe ill effects. When he tore his gold tooth out after leaving Valentino, the tooth grew back in a matter of minutes. Later, while fighting the Army of Darkness with the hotel crew to save Manco, Angel received multiple injuries and cuts, even being stabbed in the side with a spike, and, despite expressing pain and having to be carried by Husk and Fergus, all of the wounds he received had been healed in a matter of minutes. However, due to his demonic physiology, Angel Dust is unable to regenerate from wounds that were caused by holy weaponry/power, as seen when he nearly died of blood loss from being shot in the thigh by Valentino's revolver, which uses holy bullets as ammo. When Lucifer tortured Angel by cutting him across the head using an angelic knife, the wound did not regenerate for several days. Later, he permanently lost his middle lower left arm when it was shot off by Valentino.

Unique Powers Enhanced Senses: Angel Dust possesses three small eyes under each of his two main eyes, which, when opened, grants him an enhanced vision. In addition to his enhanced vision, he also possesses heightened hearing, as he can hear things such as a storm coming from miles away. His heightened senses allow him to detect approaching enemies; when he was searching for Fergus with Husk, Cherri Bomb, and Charlie's Angels in Purgatory, Angel was able to pick up on the presence of Manco's possessed variants by hearing the flapping of their wings in the distance mere moments before they attacked him and his allies. He also claims that he can hear Charlie and Vaggie when they are having sex at night. Enhanced Speed: As a result of his spider-like physiology, Angel can crawl at an impressive speed whenever he runs on his arms and legs.

Enhanced Strength: Although not nearly as impressive as Fergus, Cherri Bomb, or Vaggie's strength, Angel Dust has displayed impressive feats of physical strength for his lean frame. During his battle with Sir Pentious and the Egg Bois with Cherri Bomb, he used a baseball bat to effortlessly smash several of the Egg Bois. Later, when Valentino was physically assaulting Angel backstage for stopping in the middle of a performance, Angel instinctively retaliated by punching Valentino with enough force to shatter the moth's sunglasses and send him staggering backward. During his physical confrontations with Valentino at the Hazbin Hotel and later in Purgatory, Angel's physical strikes were strong enough to damage Valentino's face and make the Overlord bleed from his mouth, even whilst the moth was in his Full Demon Form. Angel's punches were also strong enough to visibly harm Fergus, as shown by the multiple bruises, cuts, and black eye Fergus had sustained after their fight. Hammerspace: Angel can store numerous items at once on his chest floor, including objects so big that it would be physically impossible to fit such as numerous fan letters, his machine guns, and a baseball bat. Venomous Fangs: As a spider demon, Angel Dust's fangs are coated in a venom that he can use to infect others if bitten. His venom would be lethal to a human and is capable of making sinners and demons feel ill.

Wall-Crawling: As a result of his spider-demon physiology, Angel can adhere to ceilings and presumably other surfaces and scale them when willing so, even if he is inverted above the ground. During his fight with Fergus, Angel was able to land on his hands and feet, sticking to the ceiling of the Galaxy Light after Fergus had launched him upwards, and used his momentum to propel himself off the ceiling and tackle Fergus to the ground. Weapon Summoning: Angel has the uncanny ability to instantly spawn guns which he can use for combat, mainly pistols, revolvers, and machine guns. However, this ability is somewhat limited as he can only spawn six guns at a time - as much as his arms can carry.

Abilities Athleticism: Most likely as a result of his spider-demon physiology, Angel Dust can easily perform impressive acrobatic feats. He has top-notch leaping and climbing agility, using free-running and parkour to outmaneuver several enemies at once, as well as leap great distances with great precision, as shown when he jumped several meters in the air and into Sir Pentious' helicopter. Later, he (off-screen) casually leaped on top of the Hazbin Hotel to be alone from the other inhabitants. In Purgatory, he quickly leaped several feet in the air and into the arms of Charlie's Angels, who were flying overhead. Angel can also bend his body in unnatural ways without injuring his joints, allowing him to squeeze into tight spaces with minimal discomfort. Bilingualism: Angel is fluent in both Italian and English. Charm: Angel Dust can use his good looks and seductive, flirtatious charm to persuade, lure in, or distract people.

Expert Interrogator: Angel Dust is, rather surprisingly, a master of interrogating others, capable of scaring or outright torturing his victims into giving up information when the situation arises. During his years of serving Valentino, he would often be forced to interrogate Valentino's enemies to gain information for the moth demon's benefit. When Fat Nuggets was taken by Valentino, Angel demonstrated his interrogation skills by torturing one of Valentino's men to find out where Fat Nuggets was being kept, stabbing the goon in the knee with a knife and twisting the blade, repeatedly shooting him in the abdomen, and brutally carving a heart into the goon's head. Expert Marksmanship: Angel Dust possesses great skill in handling a wide variety of weapons, with a preference for high-powered artillery. He is a sharpshooter but can get sloppy if one gets under his skin. While attacking Bruce and his gang after they turned on him during a drug deal, Angel used his four arms to fire four different guns in all directions, wiping out every member of the gun while precisely leaving Bruce injured but alive, including "killing" multiple members he was not looking at. During the hotel crew's skirmish with the Army of Darkness, while rescuing Manco, Angel precisely shot several winged creatures in the air and did not miss a shot, and shot one creature behind him over his shoulder without even looking at them.

Hand-to-Hand Combat: Angel Dust has displayed moderate skill in hand-to-hand combat, likely due to his years of carrying out Valentino's various crimes in Hell. He was capable of wrestling a sinner with a much larger build than him, and physically overpowered one of Velvette's fanboys by shoving them into the path of Alastor's demonic tentacles. Although he was overpowered during the fight, he managed to strike Valentino multiple times even when the latter was in his Full Demon Form and harmed him by spitting in his eyes, showing shades of being a dirty fighter as well. His fighting skills were perhaps best demonstrated during his brawl with Fergus in Purgatory, where he was able to stand toe-to-toe with Fergus (a fallen warrior angel) and gave him a considerable fight, and even caused Fergus to bleed with a couple of punches, although he was eventually overpowered by Fergus' superior strength. Master of Disguise: Angel possesses remarkable prowess in acting and disguising himself. He is capable of donning a vast array of outfits and blending into the territories of other sinners undetected. Using his makeup and outfits, he is capable of deceiving others by making himself look like a completely different person and can come up with new personalities and identities on a whim when the need arises. While illegally sneaking into the Lust Ring with Fergus, Angel disguised himself as a woman, which deceived everyone they came into contact with, although the King of Lust, Asmodeus, was able to easily see through Angel's disguise after witnessing his pole dancing and recognizing it from his films. Musical Talent: Angel Dust can play the trumpet and is a skilled pianist, as he played the piano version of "O sole mio". He is also a very gifted singer and dancer. Natural Weaponry: Angel Dust can use his venomous teeth and claws as offensive weapons.

Retractile Limbs: Angel Dust has a hidden third set of arms that can retract in and out of his body, giving him extra ambidexterity. Weapon Proficiency: Angel Dust can handle various types of weapons with ease, such as bats, knives, chains, and explosives, although his preferred type of weaponry seems to be firearms, with his weapon of choice being a Thompson machine gun, as well as carrying several sidearms on him. Due to his extra limbs, he is capable of wielding multiple weapons at once, as shown by his dual-welding machine pistols with his upper arms while using his lower arms to fire two rifles akimbo-style.

Weapons Baseball bat: Angel was shown briefly using a baseball bat to smash several Egg Bois during his and Cherri Bomb's turf war against Sir Pentious. PP-19 Vityaz: Angel rarely uses an AK-SMG, most often dual-wielding it with other machine guns. Revolvers: Angel carries two revolvers on him which he typically only uses in tandem with other machine guns. Thompson submachine gun: Angel's primary and favorite weapon when engaging in crime or combat is a pair of Thompson submachine guns, which he almost always carries on his person. He doesn't appear to use a singular Thompson and carries at least three on him at all times.

Family Henroin You wanna talk about trauma?! When I was 24, my pa put a revolver to my head and said (imitating Henroin) 'if yer a f--, I'll paint the walls with yer brain!' (normally) So, naturally, I went out to the nearest bordello and fucked the first guy I saw. Angel Dust about Henroin. Henroin was Angel Dust's disowned father and former mafia boss. Henroin emerged as a central figure in Angel Dust's tumultuous past, served as his estranged father and a former mafia kingpin. Their relationship was marked by intense conflict arose from Henroin's vehement disapproval of Angel's lifestyle and sexual orientation. The extent of this antagonism was profound, illustrated by Henroin's near-fatal attempt on Angel's life when he discovered his son's sexuality. This incident, among others, led to Angel's disownment by his father. Arackniss was eager to shed light on Henroin's perspective, revealed his deep-seated embarrassment over having Angel as his son. Henroin's harsh judgment extended further, labeled Angel as a "sissy fairy failure." Indications suggest that Henroin subjected Angel to severe psychological trauma during his formative years. This included exposing him to graphic mafia executions, an experience that likely left lasting scars. Additionally, Henroin's rejection and conditional acceptance hinged on Angel's adherence to the mafia lifestyle, perpetuated a cycle of emotional neglect and manipulation.

Annie Angel Dust was very close to his mother, Annie, and looks back on her fondly, reminiscing about her cooking and her skill with a piano while talking with Fergus. Although, when remembering his sister, Molly, Angel mentioned that Molly was the only member of his family who supported him, implying that, despite him remembering her fondly, Annie did not support his lifestyle (although this could have been because Angel was not out of the closet while living).

Arackniss was Angel's (formerly) disowned older brother. Although their relationship in the present was severed, they occasionally encountered each other while commuting in the streets of Pentagram City, which often resulted in the two getting into screaming matches with each other. Based on their dialogue, Arackniss greatly disliked Angel due to his sexual orientation and lifestyle, and Angel enjoyed teasing Arackniss about his name and his rather small stature. In "My Brotha Arackniss", Angel Dust chose to save Arackniss after he was kidnapped by Sir Pentious, however, this was at the coercion of Charlie's Angels, and was tempted to leave him at the mercy of Pentious. This did nothing to heal their brotherhood, however, as the two brothers insulted each other all along the way. Furthermore, Arackniss insisted that he did not need Angel's help. When Arackniss asked Angel why he chose to save him, Angel admitted that he felt as if he "owed" Arackniss for saving him from being erased by Henroin - which visibly affected Arackniss -, and concluded that now that his debt was paid, he would never have to put up with Arackniss ever again. Angel reacted in a flippant way to Arackniss threatening to murder him before he and Cherri dumped Arackniss off the side of the road. Later, Arackniss and Crimson's goons ambush Angel and his friends with the intention of bringing him and Moxxie to Henroin and Crimson. When a masked Arackniss was held at gun-point by Angel, the latter hesitated to kill Arackniss when his brother revealed his identity. This mercy led to Angel being incapacitated as Arackniss taunted him for not taking the shot.

While imprisoned at Henroin's mansion and confronted by his older brother, Angel Dust attempted to bridge the emotional gap with Arackniss, angrily telling his brother about the years of mistreatment and humiliation he endured from their father, Henroin. Despite glimpses of vulnerability, Arackniss, driven by anger and a desire for revenge and to be in the right, resisted fully acknowledging the truth. Upon being reunited with Molly, Arackniss reluctantly decides to assist her with saving Angel, though he refuses to assist them beyond that. Arackniss faces fatal consequences for his loyalty to his father, and is killed during a confrontation between the mobster and the Insurgency, and his death heavily impacted Angel. Despite their differences, Angel Dust and Arackniss shared a moments of camaraderie and concern for each other, and their last conversation revolved them bonding over their familial love for Molly. After the demise of Arackniss, Angel unleashed his fury upon Henroin, vehemently accusing his father of being responsible for both Arackniss' mortal and afterlife fate. Amidst the brutal beating, Angel lamented that their family could have been perfect if Henroin had prioritized his own kin over the demands of the mafia.

Angel's strained relationships with the rest of their family, excluding their mother. The connection between Angel and Molly is characterized by genuine positivity and support. In a heartwarming recollection shared with Fergus, Angel reflects on their shared history and highlights Molly as the sole family member who offered him unwavering encouragement and embraced his sexuality. This acceptance marked a significant departure from the norm in their family dynamics. Furthermore, Molly played an instrumental role in nurturing Angel's drag aspirations, allowing him to privately explore this facet of himself by donning her clothing. Angel's emotions towards Molly are poignant and profound. He expresses a sense of yearning for her presence, recounting dreams of her during his time in Hell. The stark contrast between his experiences with the abusive members of his family and his fond memories of Molly, who resides in Heaven, amplifies his sense of loss and isolation. The absence of Molly in his life is a source of genuine sorrow and contributes to his complex emotional landscape.
