*Adam is the main antagonist of Season 1 in the adult animated musical series Hazbin Hotel.

Famously known as The First Man, after his death, Adam was transformed into an Archangel and became the leader of the Exorcists, who serve as his own private military.

He created and leads the yearly Exterminations, where he seeks to kill as many Sinners as possible in Hell to avoid them becoming strong enough to rebel, and simply for the fun of it.

He is the arch-nemesis of Lucifer Morningstar and his daughter Charlie Morningstar, as well as the ex-husband of Lilith Morningstar, the Queen of Hell, who is revealed at the end of the season to be in Heaven after making a deal with Adam.

However, in spite of his negative traits, Adam has an actual friendship with his right-hand woman, Lute, whom he happily congratulates for her accomplishments.

Before his death, he looked at Lute and smiled softly, showing that he did indeed have a soft spot for her. He does, however, reject her idea of an immediate surprise attack, as he believes such an assault would expose his larger plan, which demonstrates that he has some level of self-control.

He also demonstrates that he is a capable leader and strategist who curved a new extermination without arousing suspicion, showing that he does have some measure of intelligence despite his over-the-top, cocky behavior.*
