Character: stolas (helluva boss)
" You know what happens when I'm lonely, Blitzy~ "
Prince Stolas Ars Goetia is a recurring side character on the adult animated web-series Helluva Boss. He is technically the investor who provided the resource for Blitzø and his employees to conduct assassinations in the living realm on the behalf of the dead. Specifically, Stolas loans Blitz his magic Grimoire to open portals to Earth from Hell.
Stolas is an anthropormorphic owl demon. He is tall, with an owlish beak and two pairs of narrow red eyes with no visible irises or pupils except when he gets mad, when he is irritated, and when he uses his petrification abilities. He has blue and dark blue feathers with white and gray accents. He has a tail of blue feathers with darker blue tips that reaches his feet, and a lighter gray-blue puff of fur on his chest. From the neck up, his feathers fade from blue to darker blue, and his face stands out in a white heart shape.
His arms and legs are black, and instead of shoes, his limbs are tipped with owl claws.
He is often seen wearing a feathery tophat with a regal yellow feather decal that is reminiscent of a crown. He also wears a red tunic with six golden buttons, gray trousers, and a plush burgundy surcoat with a white fur collar and puffed striped sleeves.
Personality
Stolas appears to be narcissistic, decadent, exigent, and has a regal quality about himself. His house appears quite large containing many pictures of himself along with his clothing around him and he complains of being lonely. Also not unlike the refined aristocrats of old, Stolas engages in extramarital affairs with those of lower social class, such as the imp Blitz, without apparent concern from his wife. However, in contrast to his normal regal behavior, Stolas has a disturbing quality of becoming extremely profane and graphic when discussing his sexual interests. It is unknown if this is a general trait that he displays with all whom he discusses his sexuality or solely a facet of his relationship with Blitz.
As with many demons, and the denizens of Hell in general, Stolas has a highly questionable moral compass. Being a regular client of Blitz and his service, Stolas is responsible for ordering the deaths of mortals to advance his own agenda. Among other unknown hits, Stolas arranged for the death of at least one person trying to spread awareness of global warming, not because the demon prince did not acknowledge its existence, but in hopes of causing more overall deaths on Earth.
He is also seen as the "dorky dad" type when it comes to his daughter Octavia since he took her to a carnival called Loo Loo Land. He even wore a Loo Loo Land outfit and wanted to go on rides with her.
Stolas is based on an actual owl demon that appears in Ars Goetia a.k.a. The Lesser Key of Solomon . In Vivziepop's Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel universe Vivzmind, Stolas is a part of a subclass of Hell-Born Demons known as the Goetical Demons. While they are certainly high-ranking and respected, they do not have the same power and influence of The Magne Family or some of the other 11 Overlords of Hell. Precisely which noble demons, though, Stolas outclasses is unknown; Viv claims that Stolas is objectively stronger than The Radio Demon, but their powers work differently which means that a fight between the two of them could go either way. So far, the only abilities he has shown is being able to petrify someone simply by glaring at them and the ability to...destroy star systems. He also has the ability to open interdimensional portals but this last power he does only with his Grimoire, the book he inherited from his bloodline which is full of spells and curses that only a Goetia can have easy access to without performing a ritual.
