I have finally had the time to sit down and actually put together Kit's Biography! This is my OC for Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, used in my fanfiction and AU, The Ex Saint and Woeless Sinner that you can read both on my blog here and my AO3! I'll link my main masterlist here!
This will also be linked on my roleplay account for Kit @roguepaladinofhell once I have it set up properly with the help of @the-devil-less-known ! Though, pls be aware this is her OC bio and not her RP bio (she is multi ship in roleplay).
Nick Name(s): KitKat (From Adam in derogatory); Mama K (Niffty); My Love (Michael, obsessively); My Muse (Lucifer)

Species: A heavenborn angel, warrior variant above an Exorcist engineered as a guardian called a Paladin angel (there will be separate post made specifically
Current Occupation: Security contractor in Hell; CEO of K Security and Head Security of the Hazbin Hotel.
Personality: Responsible for the most part; sheâs very easy going and gets along with most people. She's very mellow and hard to get on her bad side unless you've rubbed her the wrong way one too many times or you've done something incredibly heinous to one someone close to her such as Charlie or Angel Dust. She's very controlled in her emotions and has worked hard to practice this control, very rarely losing her cool, but when she does -- and it takes a lot to get to that point -- it's atomic.

Loving
Independent
Compassionate
Responsible
Protective (Sometimes to a fault)

Impulsive
Stubborn
Pessimistic

Dislikes: - Valentino - Vox - Striker - Mammon - Hellâs porn industry -Michael (her ex and former abuser/superior) - Heaven though it's a little more complex than that - Adam - Lute - Lilith (this stems from a series of complex emotions brought on from both things that Charlie and Lucifer have told her and observations she herself has made from Hellborns and Sinners alike) - Wasps - Exorcists - Having her own existence used against her - overly sweet things.
Hobbies: - Collecting Earth crystals - Baking - Writing - Fixing motorcycles - singing - shopping with Fizz - Guitar - Sketching when she has time
Dreams/Goals:
Make Hell a safer place to coexist for Sinners and Hellborn via her K Security company
Prove Heaven's Law and Structure is Flawed and Imperfect
See redemption become reality
Phobia(s): Â Spheksophobia (fear of wasps), petrophobia (fear of locked in syndrome) which stems from her sisters of battle being petrified in stone as punishment in Heaven.
General Weakness: The main weakness of all Paladins is their limit in magic and this weakening them. A Paladin is required to have an oath with an angel of higher power such as a Seraphim like Michael, Sera, or Lucifer. This gives the Paladin access to whatever fraction of power the "patron" allows the receiver to have and what kind of power they can access! Such as Michael allows his Paladins to access primarily combative magic with healing. This is based on dungeons and dragons Paladin and Warlock features for those of my fellow D&D lovers out there!
Without an oath or an oath that has been broken and finally severed and waned, that Paladin has no magic and cannot use any form of holy magic unless bound by an oath with another angel of higher power. This substantially weakens their power unless they are proficient in melee and martial arts.
Kit's other general weakness that is easily exploited in the correct hands is her innate protectiveness. She is protective to a fault. She will put herself in harms way and will get herself hurt in order to protect another person; even if it fatally wounds her. This stems from the durability of her angel type and the training she had undergone under Michael's care as a Paladin.
Contract(s): Kit has no soul contract in Hell. She has her oath as a Paladin of Michael which she is an oath breaker of since her fall from grace. The oath to the Archangel of Justice when she was first created went as follows: "Uphold the mantle of justice and ensure the protection and safety of human souls and the innocent. Let not one soul fall upon a blade you did not fall upon first." Of course, this meant as a Paladin, she was designed and made to protect human souls. This oath was defiled when Adam had requested Extermination and demanded the Paladins be the ones to train and lead his Exorcists for the first few Exterminations. After all, the souls of Hell had already been judged and did not deserve their blades since they'd already been in their realm!
The oath grants Kit access to a fraction of Michael's magic, utilizing combative magic and healing word. This oath will wane over the course of the fanfiction and eventually, Kit will access to Michael's magic.
The OTHER oath Kit will eventually make after hers with Michael's will be with Lucifer (they will be dating by this point) in which she will become "The Paladin of the Morningstar" (not well received by some in Heaven as you can imagine).
Strengths: Martial Arts and acrobats; weapons handling with specialty in great weapons. Combative magic use.
Weapons:Â An angelic steel great axe with a handle made from wood carved from the tree of life in the Garden of Eden as if customary for Paladin Weaponry. This allows Paladins to bond with their weapons spiritually and call them to them in flashes of holy light. However, this is not the same type of weapon used by Exorcists!
Fighter or Hider: Fighter. 100% a fighter and won't think twice about it!
Powers: Without an oath and set in the future of the AU, Kit does have her own set of magic ability courtesy of Yvwh after SEVERAL character arcs and development and far into the future. These abilities are still being figured out and balanced as to not make her more powerful than Lu or Sera (for the sake of the power scale as that is important to me in the universe's scaling) as well as with how I've altered Charlie with being a Nephilim and boosted her own powers with what we know! This section will be updated when we know more but for now we will be titling it "Archdevil of Redemption!"
Sibling(s) Twin Sister
Name: Lyra
Status: Alive, current General of the Paladin Army after Kit's fall
Relationship: Strained, distant and antagonistic.
Everything below this point gets into the deep dive of her character more, her design and deeper lore! Be warned that it is a lot and WILL contain dark themes that may be triggering. Anything that is MAJORLY triggering I will put in a different post (such as the extent of Michael and Kit's relationship).
Kit was created to be a Paladin of Michael, living early life in Heaven under him as his General and as his right hand. Leading her sisters in his army, she trained them and attended meetings with Michael in the chambers of the elders which included Sera often times.
Kit, known then as "Kithara," was also regarded highly as Michael's General and his prodigy Paladin. She was the example of an ideal warrior for a guardian angel and thus, Michael and her "fell in love" as he would tell her.
Kit, for the record, at this point had no concept of what love was nor who she was at her core as a person. No idea what her orientation sexually or romantically was.
In this AU, Extermination started a bit earlier than in the show. The deal between Adam and Lilith was only made when Michael pulled the Paladins out of the Exterminations and Adam had no choice but to make a deal with Lilith in order to continue the Extermination with just the Exorcists alone.
Prior to this, with the Paladins ordered to train and lead the Exorcists into the first few Exterminations by Sera (after Adam's insistence), Kithara was the one in charge of training Lute and thus the temporary Lieutenant to Adam's Army. With the Paladins in play, Hell was strong armed into submitting to the Extermination and, unfortunately, both Sinners and Hellborn were not spared from the Extermination. However, only Paladins could traverse to the other rings. Of course, during this time, Lucifer was able to intervene if some Exorcists were to get too comfortable with going after Charlie or other Hellborn; much to Adam's and a few others' dismay.
After Kit's fall and Michael pulls the Paladin's from participation along with Adam's eventual deal with Lilith to prevent her own uprising and intervention, Sera forces Adam to make compromises with Lucifer as a means to keep him from making their jobs more difficult with the threat of returning with the Paladins. Lucifer didn't know at this time that it was an empty threat, of course. Thus, the agreement that Exorcists wouldn't go after Hellborn in return that Lucifer wouldn't intervene with Extermination was made in this AU.
Michael and Kit's Relationship - Toxic
I won't go into TOO much detail on their relationship as it could be very TRIGGERING. I might do a separate post or link a drabble here to give a better look into how Michael and Kit interacted outside of the main fanfiction, but otherwise...
Michael was so impaired by his faith in Heaven and refusing to even question or acknowledge Kit's concerns that he actively neglected her thoughts and feelings a lot. This manifested in many ways. Of course, it's also never a good idea for a superior to become involved in a subordinate!
This neglect turns into resentment over the course of 500 years that turns into physical manifestation and harm and eventually Kit and Michael get into a very toxic cycle with Michael perpetuating it and when Kit attempts to communicate, shutting it down with Heaven's "structure is law."
This comes to a head when Kit finally speaks up and has enough and Michael snaps. Once again, will link a specific drabble about the next bit for context as it is triggering! But Michael hurts her and Kit falls.
After her fall, Michael becomes obsessive with getting her back and righting his wrong, becoming a former shadow of himself... which he already wasn't himself since Lucifer's fall eons ago.
The Fall of a Paladin
Kit's fall happens after one particular Extermination when she meets a specific Sinner named Viol. She had been tense about it for years now, obviously, but seeing her sisters in battle stressed and then watching them wither and decay into themselves had been enough. Then, she say this Sinner willingly sacrifice himself to protect others and she realized she had enough after saving him and deciding she would be a voice for her sisters and herself.
Kit would speak up at a post Extermination meeting with the Paladins that had went, Exorcists, Michael, Sera and Adam. When she speaks up, she nearly causes a full revolution with other Paladins that get the courage to also speak up. This terrifies Sera and makes Michael actually question his faith before it quickly turns to anger while Adam tells Sera she needs to put the Paladins back in line.
In her moment of fear of Hell rather than her concern for the Paladins and her people, Sera orders the petrification of the Paladins revolting. They're too valuable to banish to Hell, but also too valuable to erase. In turning them to stone, Michael pleads with Sera to grant Kithara a pardon with an ultimatum from the High Seraphim to get her "back in line" by the end of the day.
As stated in the Michael and Kit Relationship part, the drabble I'll link up there once posted will have more context on the info that happened there as it will be triggering and will have the proper trigger warnings! I do not play when it comes to that!
Needless to say, Kit chose to jump when she had the chance and escaped the oppression and fell to Hell.
Wrath and Cage Fighting
When Kit fell into the Pride Ring, it had been during the same day as when Lucifer had a meeting with the other Sins at the Morningstar Manor while Lilith had been hosting an event. It was just simply easier that way and Satan had been on his way back through when he came across a broken fallen Paladin.
Satan took Kit under his wing to Wrath with the promise to help her navigate Hell in exchange for her being his enforcer in the illegal cage fighting that went on in the rings. He knew what she was and how durable and volatile her kind could be. Naturally, Kit accepted.
She never lost a cage fight and even took the practice to Pride when she finally moved to the Pride Ring after she and Satan finally parted ways.
After her fall, Kit also struggled immensely with a temper and rage that being around Satan consistently didn't help with. It were as though the culmination of her hurt and the sensation of betrayal from Heaven boiled over and imploded. She indulged in mortal vices in attempt to see if that would help; it didn't. She did discover when smoking cigars that she did have an oral fixation, though!
Over the years, she learns to restrain and regain control of her emotions, but this is something and flares and comes through from time to time again.
Paladin of the Morningstar Oath
I mentioned in basics that Kit makes an oath with Lucifer as a Paladin in order to regain some magic ability. This initially wasn't for her own comfort, but for his. She was completely fine relying on her own physical prowess, yet Lucifer felt concern about her own safety given the events in the fic timeline that occurred following losing her magical power with Michael's oath being severed for good. With becoming a Paladin of The Morningstar, Kit does not have access to full creation magic. She does get access to the ability to portal as Lucifer can and create projectile light as she had once been able to with Michael's magic (but with more flair thank you Luci).
What is K Security?
K Security is the company Kit built from the ground up after she left Wrath and moved to the Pride Ring and into an apartment with the Sinner she had spared on Extermination Day, Viol. While Viol was working up the ranks of becoming an Overlord and chasing his dreams of owning a music studio, Kit worked as his muscle and enforcer to protect his souls from other Overlords and slimy Sinners. This earned her a name as the Music Overlord's Guard Dog.
Kit opened K Security from the comfort of their home after hiring on a few imps that expressed interest in working with her to help Viol protect his studio and then it expanded into a small company working out of another apartment in the same building that Viol helped rent out from the increased amount of money coming in from both his funds and Kit's cash rewards from cage fights.
Then in came the clientale. Started out smaller. Hellborn-owned businesses needing some extra muscle to keep Sinners or other Hellborn from strong arming them out of their own establishments and then soon Viol got big enough to catch the attention of the Vees. Viol at this time was so fame hungry that he didn't miss the chance to merge and join partnership with the Vees, which in turn contracted K Security to their first biggest client: VoxTek.
After VoxTek, K Security would contract out to Carmilla Carmine for easier supply of weaponry for her security guards. Rosie was then in contact with Kit about setting up possible stations around Cannibal Town for her people's assured protection from "unwanted ruckus." During this point, the apartment building that she and Viol lived in would become condemned; Viol moved in with Vox, Vel and Val and Kit purchased the entire apartment complex and remodeled it into K Security as it is now with the top apartment becoming her current residence in Hell.
While making her contacts with the overlords and earning her name with the Sinners, her employees expanded and Satan had been more than willing to keep his end of the deal for her being his enforcer that first year of her life in Hell by only saying good things about her to his fellow Sins (this included Lucifer and Lucifer knew of a 'Kit' but does not put two and two together that the Kit he meets later in present timeline is the same woman nor a fallen angel).
Mammon hires on K Security to be Fizzarolli's security during his performances because of his insane fans. This is how Kit would come to meet Fizz who would become one of her closest friends. And then as Fizz becomes friends with Kit and trusts her, when he and Ozzie start to date, Oz hires K Security at his club as well as his factory. He also invests in Kit's company to help her expand.
Beelzebub and Belphegor also hire K Security (though Bee hires her once for a party and then just becomes friends with her and simply invites her to these parties as a guest).
The Sins are where Kit's connections to the Ars Goetia like Stolas come in and trickle down. Over the years, she builds a rapport and expands in a decade with hard work. I will do a post eventually on the main cast of OCs of Hellborn that run K Security (including the canon characters that work there!)
An Expanded List of K Security Clients Canon

Ritual water vessel. Red-Figure Loutrophoros without handles. Attributed to the White Sakkos Painter. South Italian, Apulian, ca. 330 BCE. Tampa Museum of Art. Info and photo from: American Art Guide.
The tendril or snake-legged figure has multiple curling tails, wears a leaf skirt and headdress, while her torso is bare.
This version of the Scythian snake-legged goddess is extremely interesting, as sheâs playing a kithara, a Greek stringed instrument, similar to a lyre. I havenât seen any other depictions of the Scythian goddess playing an instrument, of any kind. The instrument does make me wonder if the artist here mixed up the Scythian goddess with the Sirens of the Odysseyâ especially as thereâs another vase, which clearly shows a bird-bodied siren with curls similar to this vase:
Apulian red-figured oinochoe, about 350-320 BCE. Full post here, which discusses the other vases. Photo from Flickr.
Thereâs several other depictions possible Scythian goddess figures with wings:
While I donât think that the two-tailed figure was ever called a âsirenâ until Romanesque church art, I find the parallels with both the Sirens and the Scythian snake-legged goddess here very interesting.
For reference, a bird-bodied Siren playing a lyre on a vase:
White-ground lekythos, Odysseus and the Sirens, Eretria. By the Edinburgh Painter. Late 6th century BCE. From the National Archeological Museum in Athens, picture by me.

was wondering if youâd want to make a post simply yapping about ancient greek instruments, i wish to learn moreee
Oh I really donât have much to say at all about them, I was mostly exploring the wiki page and thatâs about it lol, but since you asked!
Iâm currently writing a fic rn where characters are playing instruments and I was curious about ancient greek instruments, considering all I really knew was the lyre and the aulos. So I decided to look up a wikipedia list and click around to see what I thought was pretty cool
(Quick disclaimer, everything Iâm about to say is from wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt. Also I am not a music historian or a musician so really I barely have any idea about what Iâm talking about)
Turns out, thereâs a million different versions of the lyre! They all look quite similar but I am sure theyâre from different regions and have their own unique sounds and histories. The one I went with in my fic was the kithara! It is a seven stringed lyre-esque instrument that was mainly played by professionals (called kitharodes). Since lyres were considered a folk/beginner instrument, those who played music for a living tended to prefer the kithara. Fun fact! âKitharaâ in modern greek means guitar, and the etymological origin of the english âguitarâ comes from kithara. Words are cool!!!
Please forgive me if I am using the singular/plural versions of this instrument wrong, Iâm not entirely sure how this all works and I am trying my best
I was mainly excited about the krotalon (latin: crotalum) which were pretty much castanets! (I really like castanets because the fun clappy sound is nice in my ears lol) they were made out of wood or shell and brass and were mainly used by women in religious dances. Often at a slower beat/rhythm than castanets as we think of them today
More fun facts! This time bird related! Krotala allegedly made the sound of a craneâs bill, thus the bird was called crotalistria "player on crotala.â
In some versions of heraclesâ myth, he uses krotala to scare away the stymphalian birds in order to shoot them down!
Now, I mentioned the aulos earlier but honestly I still didnât know much about it other than what it sounded like. (Shout out to olympus alfame from the hades 2 soundtrack, absolute banger!!!)
Anyways, while the aulos may look like a modern flute or clarinet, it is more akin to highland bagpipes in multiple ways! We see similarities in the way itâs played (the use of circular breathing), in sound (the droning that people often find really annoying) and in function! (Both instruments were used to communicate on the battlefield.)
They were also double-reeded like oboes!
Thereâs multiple types of auloi. The plain âaulosâ we think about is the two pipes with reeds. A single pipe without a reed was called a âmonaulos.â A single pipe that was held horizontally like a flute was a âplagiaulos,â and a pipe with a bag (ahem, bagpipe, one may say) that allowed for continuous sound was called a âaskaulosâ
Finally, I want to talk about a myth surrounding the aulos. A satyr named marsyas either invented the aulos or picked it up one day after athena discarded it because she hated how it made her cheeks puff up (which is really funny to me). Either way, he gets his hands on the instrument and challenges apollo to a music contest (always a bad idea) the winner would âdo whatever he wantedâ to the loser.
If youâre a freak like me you probably had the same train of thought as marsyas who, being a satyr, would never turn down the opportunity to fuck our favourite sunshine twink. Unfortunately for him, apollo and his lyre beat him in the competition. Even more unfortunate is that instead of being taken by the god of light he is strung up on a tree and flayed alive for his hubris. Hooray!
Ack itâs almost 4am I meant to go to bed an hour ago lmao (as if 3am is a reasonable time to go to bed)
Anyways I hope you enjoyed my yap sesh! I always get nervous when writing these up because I am bound to get information wrong. And if there are any discrepancies PLEASE do not be afraid to (kindly) inform me otherwise and I will fix it!!! I am no historian I am just a silly little guy with worms in their brain who is running on 5 hours of sleep
âI donât have much to say at all about themâ <- call me odysseus the way im a fucking liar
