Til The End card from the Hazbin Hotel season two trading cards.

The people who went to help Emily were Charlie, Husk, and Niffty. Vaggie, Angel, Cherri, and Baxter were present, but they don't have any powers. They were just giving moral support. Charlie's friends were the only ones who immediately went to help. But that wasn't enough.

Emily: I can't hold it much longer

Charlie: We got you

Vaggie: We need to be stronger

Husk: We've done all we can, there's no way (Niffty and Angel Dust: No way)

Cherri Bomb: No one left to save the day

Charlie: It's okay

Slightly off topic, but I think it's beautiful that they were aware that their power alone wasn't enough, yet none of them gave up trying. They were all willing to die together.

So their power was not enough. They needed more power. And then Carmilla and Zestial appear. Their verse is about how Charlie and her friends need more power.

Carmilla: You would risk your life

Zestial: For souls that Heaven sought to kill

Carmilla and Zestial: We cannot just stand by

It's time to match your strength of will

I find it quite interesting that the first overlords who appeared to help were Carmilla and Zestial. Zestial never agreed with Vox's plan, and neither did Carmilla, but she agreed to make the weapon for him out of fear. And by helping Charlie and her friends, she would also be protecting her daughters.

And these are the verses from the other overlords. They're not even singing the same line as the main cast. Their motivations is different from the main cast.

Everyone: Hear my hope (Overlords: Save us from harm)

Let it echo

In every soul that needs (Overlords: Lay down our arms)

Something to believe

Take my hand (Overlords: Just for a day)

Never let go

Even one soft sound (Overlords: Put war away)

Can shake the hardest ground

Take my hand (Valentino and Velvette: We'll take your hand)

Feel the wonder (Vox: Wait, what?)

In perfect harmony (Valentino and Velvette: Not what we planned)

We'll change our destiny (Vox: What the fuck is happening?)

And many years from now, if many live to hear this song (Overlords: If we live!)

Not only that, but the composition too. The overlords were drawn separately from the main cast. I believe this was intentional, along with the lyrics, to reinforce that although they are helping, they are not helping for the same reasons as Charlie and her friends.

And in the end, all the overlords agree among themselves never to speak of it again.

Alastor In the recap song, he says "Yours truly fed a TV-head a slice of humble pie"

Zeezi In "Bad With Us" she calls him "that self-absorbed TV-head"

Charlie In "Silenced" she describes Vox as "Uh he's like a guy with a TV for a head, it's, like, about this big..."

"Lucifer In "Silenced" he says "Oh, the TV-head guy." In his portion of "VOX POPULI," he calls him "Mister-TV-Head-man"

Literally everyone is calling him a TV Head and it's hilarious.

Valentino and Velvette are the newest officially recognized Overlords.

And the weakest, though most civilians of Hell don't know that.

Valentino's had the power/souls/territory to be recognized as an Overlord on and off for decades, but Carmilla had never invited him to their board meetings. She saw his hold over his assets as too unstable. In her opinion he was just another violent pimp, one that managed to stick around longer than the others. He wasn't taken seriously by anyone except Zeezi and, strangely, Zestial, but that still wasn't enough for Carmilla to invite him.

He didn't care to be invited anyway, though recognition would have been nice… whatever… Fuck them.

Velvette is an Influencer and Fashion Designer like in canon and she got a boost into Overlord status by hiring Valentino's souls to model and work for her. In exchange, she helped Valentino with his public image. Promoting his clubs, employees, and developing Love Potion.

With Velvette's promotions and recommendation, Val is able to rent out his souls to different studios covering different forms of entertainment and media, so he's become something like an agent. He's not personally involved in movie production.

When they met, Valentino had recently lost a lot of territory and souls and was working on getting it back. He meets Velvette who was snatching up all the 'scraps' that were left behind. His intention was to get rid of her for the audacity but her attitude charms him enough that he holds off on it until he sees she can be useful, then he wants to keep her. Velvette saw Valentino as a way to quickly gain status and then bail on him the next time he loses his hold on power. She did her research, she knows its going to happen again and he'll have bigger problems than trying to track her down and by then she'll be untouchable.

Buuut then the two end up bonding because they have a lot in common. Velvette just had no idea since Valentino's been in only high stress situations since he came down here. And Valentino LISTENS to her??? He sometimes has a pissbaby attitude but he takes her advice and critiques seriously. He like. Respects her. Meanwhile, Valentino didn't think anyone as capable as Velvette would ever want anything to do with him, professionally, like he's a person. And learning she likes him? He didn't think it was possible for him to be tolerated by anyone he didn't own. They make their partnership official and eventually genuinely learn to trust one another and help each other out without really expecting anything in return. You know, like friends!

Together, they're able to shove their fingers in every pie in the Entertainment District. Val owns the talent so you need to get through him to have anyone good starring in your media. Velvette's promotions and designs are too valuable to not beg for. They work very well together and make it so that everyone else needs them.

The only thing they lack is territory. What they own is small, but solid. They have a building that is mostly Velvette's studio with an apartment on the top floor that Val calls his house (though they live together) and Val owns some of the surrounding streets and clubs. They have enough muscle to defend their territory but not enough to fight for more. Their business, while successful, is limited and its hard to steal the souls of other demons that they can't make use of or manage properly. They're both limited to only swiping up the desirable or desperate before anyone else.

(A third person would be soooo useful to them…)
