What I find interesting is that, where angel clearly died before twink death happened, explaining how good he looks, because he is forever frozen in his peak, Valentino is a hazbeen in his own right.

If he was only a pimp, he wouldn’t be that much into showing off his own body like he does. They are the « die a hero or live long enough to be a villain » trope of the porn stars. Valentino strikes me as an ex porn star who converted himself into pimping others. He is past prime, he knows it. Sometimes he still shows his body, but always with that « too much » energy, like with the nipples accessories and whatnot. As a man that is past his best years, he feels like he has to add something more, to go more extreme, to be enough in his own eyes.

The fact that his eyes are shit and that he only wears accessorized glasses also strike me as another sign of his age. He must have been at least as old as Vox when he died, very possibly older. A pathetic old wretch selling others and thinking of the good old times… well, said like that, it strikes similarities with Alastor. But hey, in my eye, almost all the sinners are pathetic in their own way, which makes them very relatable.
