Charlastor

"Cus' you're one of a kind, a charming demon belle!"

- Alastor to Charlie, during his reprise

Charlastor is the het ship between Charlie Morningstar and Alastor from the Hazbin Hotel fandom.

Canon
Alastor first notices Charlie during her 666 News interview advertising her new redemption hotel. When she later returns to said hotel, despondent over her audience's mockery, Alastor appears at the door - much to her horror, as he has a fearsome reputation. Despite Vaggie's warning, Charlie lets him in - more specifically, she opens the door again and he lets himself in.

After (very menacingly) assuring that he means no harm, Alastor explains that he saw Charlie's disastrous interview on what he calls "the picture show" and calls it the most entertainment he's had since the onset of the Great Depression. He says he wants to help run the hotel, but admits that it's mostly - if not entirely - out of "sheer, absolute boredom". When she asks, Alastor assures Charlie that he thinks the hotel's premise and ideals are "wacky nonsense" and that demons are inherently beyond redemption ("The chance given was the life they lived before, the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done."), but that he expects to deeply enjoy the sight of demons repeatedly struggling and failing to redeem themselves and falling deeper into despair for it.

After conferring with Vaggie, Charlie admits to Alastor that she finds him "sketchy as fuck" and that she's not happy about his dismissal of her hotel and ideas, but that she feels compelled by her beliefs to give him a chance to become better - even if she doubts he'll take it - so she accepts his offer. She heeds Vaggie's advice against making a deal with him, refusing to shake on it when he offers his hand and instead ordering him "as Princess of Hell and Heir to the Throne" to stay and help run the hotel as long as he wants. Satisfied, Alastor immediately brings in more employees to keep the hotel clean and run the front desk, true to his word.

Charlie is openly thrilled with Alastor's changes, although Vaggie's reaction is more lukewarm. Alastor declares that "This is going to be very entertaining!" and begins a reprise of Charlie's earlier song "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow." Despite his much more cynical and pessimistic lyrics, Charlie seems to enjoy both the song itself and Alastor's changing her hair and clothes to look like a 1920s flapper. During the song, Alastor - apparently sincerely - calls Charlie "one of a kind, a charming demon belle", and they both seem to enjoy dancing together.

Alastor's performance is interrupted by Sir Pentious attacking the hotel. Despite the latter's insistence, Alastor doesn't remember ever having fought him before. After very quickly and easily beating Pentious and his minions, Alastor heads back into the hotel to make jambalaya for everyone.

Fanon
Charlastor is one of the most popular ships in the fandom, alongside Chaggie, and Husker Dust. It first accumulated during Alastor's reprise of Charlie's advertisement song for the hotel, "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow." Wherein he uses this song as a means to persuade her into giving into his offer, all the while pissing Vaggie off while taking Charlie by the hand to go have a dance with her, with one of the most notable parts being when Alastor tells her "Cus' you're one of a kind, a charming demon belle!".

In one HuniCast stream, a fan donated for Ed Bosco (as Alastor) to say "Haha! My darling Charlie, you're so delightfully charming! I could just eat you up..." giving the fans a brief Charlastor moment.

On Ao3, Charlastor is the second most written ship for both Charlie and Alastor. It is also the fourth most written ship in the Hazbin Hotel (Web Series) tag.

It is the rival ship of Chaggie, RadioDust, Radio Husk, Mimlastor, and Roselastor, and currently has over 530 works on Archive of Our Own.

Trivia

 * Both Alastor and Charlie (alongside Charlie's mom, Lilith) love pineapple on pizza.
 * Both Alastor and Charlie also have naturally black gums.
 * Despite Alastor's heavy dislike for post-30s' technology, he goes out of his way to disregard this in favor of helping Charlie film the hotel's first ever advertisement, using technology such as the video recorder - something first made in the early 1950s.
 * In the same official trailer for season one, he can be seen lending his microphone - something that is sentient and part of his own body - to Charlie for the latter to make an announcement.
