Personality:
The persona Angel presents to most people is that of a highly promiscuous and unserious drug addict. He's sarcastic, happy to boast and almost overly confident in everything he does, taking reckless risks and putting himself in highly dangerous situations. He lashes out when those cracks start to show, particularly when accused of being fake.
In reality, this is the person Angel needs to be. It is daily performance he puts on to be able to survive. Having sold his soul to an Overlord he thought he loved, Angel found himself trapped in an extremely abusive relationship. Angel entered the sex work profession of his own accord, but Valentino's contract allowed him full control of Angel so long as he was in the studio, often keeping his drugged, and using both physical and mental abuse to keep Angel in line, switch between bouts of anger and sweet gaslighting.
Angel assumes this persona to protect himself, to pretend he likes who he is and what his life has become. He takes risks in the hopes of becoming broken along the way, and no long Val's favourite plaything.
Despite Angel not really holding out any hope for himself being redeemed by the hotel, using it instead as a place to escape living at the studio with no rent- he has shown slow progress in his time there. Angel has made friends, opened up, and even attempted to go clean.
He is quick to resort to violence, and has no qualms killing Sinners who deserve it (or who piss him off) (side note: Sinners don't real 'die' unless killed with Angelic steel, so despite the bloody messy he leaves them they will eventually pull themselves back together). Drug abuse isn't the only thing that earned him his place in hell, and he did grow up in the mob. But he also has a softer side, especially for younger or more innocent characters, looking for them and trying to make sure they don't end up in the gutter like him.
Angel's general pessimistic outlook is well earned, having spent more time in Hell than he ever did alive, and neither has worked out very well for him. But as his social circle expands and he becomes a little more vulnerable, so too does that pessimism grow to leave some room for optimism.
Both versions of him are very playful, and enjoy dirty jokes. He pushes people's boundaries, and can be aggressively flirtatious. Boundaries are hard for him. His own are so rarely thought of and he is so used to being wanted/used that he often can't recognize when he's taken things too far.
Unlike some Sinners, Angel has adapted well to certain aspects of the changing times, not clinging to his own time of death. He uses and understands modern technology and social media, as well as dresses in modern clothing while working (though not always on his own time).
