Blitzø (pronounced "Blitz") is the loud-mouthed, chaotic main protagonist and founder of the assassination business I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals) in the animated web series Helluva Boss.Who He IsRole: Founder and C.E.O. of I.M.P., an imp-run company that kills humans on Earth using a magical grimoire.Pronunciation: The "ø" in his name is silent, so it is just pronounced "Blitz".Voice Actor: Voiced by Brandon Rogers.Background: He grew up in a circus run by his father, Cash Buckzo, and was childhood best friends and co-workers with Fizzarolli before a tragic fire changed his life.The Mask: He acts crude, aggressive, egotistical, and wildly inappropriate on the surface.The Reality: Underneath his loud bravado, he struggles with deep self-loathing, insecurity, and a fear of being abandoned by the people he cares about.Skills: Highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat, weaponry, acrobatic assassination, and general chaos.Loona: His adopted hellhound daughter whom he fiercely loves and protects, showing a softer, emotionally intelligent side when it comes to her.Prince Stolas: A royal demon who provides the magical book needed to access Earth in exchange for an intimate arrangement, though their dynamic develops into much more complex emotional territory.Moxxie and Millie: His overworked, frequently harassed employees at I.M.P. whom he treats poorly on the surface while still relying heavily upon them.The Collection: His office and apartment are packed with horse plushies, drawings, stallion cookies, and a My Little Pony (specifically Twilight Sparkle) keychain. He even blew I.M.P.'s early earnings on horse-riding lessons.The Origin Story: Show creator VivziePop revealed this gag started because she thought Blitzø would deeply relate to the 2002 animated movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron—specifically how Spirit wants to "break free from the system" and "stick it to the man".

Depression Coping Mechanism: His massive collection of rubber ducks isn't just a random gag; it is a manifestation of his deep-seated depression and isolation.

He creates highly unique varieties, such as a rubber duck that breathes fire or a duck that performs backflips.The Throne Note: In the sister show Helluva Boss, a brief Easter egg shows that when Lucifer stepped away from his throne, he left a crying rubber duck in his place with a note reading "back in 5 minutes".⚖️ Hellaverse Mythology & RulesSeparate from Satan: In traditional mythology, Lucifer and Satan are the same person.

He allowed the Exorcist angels to slaughter human Sinners in the Pride Ring to curb overpopulation, but he negotiated a strict rule: Heaven's angels are forbidden from harming Hellborn demons.Surprisingly Short: Despite being the most powerful entity in Hell, Lucifer is quite short. He stands shorter than his daughter Charlie (who inherited her height from her mother, Lilith). During his first meeting with Alastor, he makes sure to pettily point out that Alastor isn't as tall as he expected either.Apple Elements: His design features numerous references to the forbidden fruit of Eden.
