Vox's history and human past are unknown, however, it is known that at some point when he was in his 30s-40s in the 1950s he was sent to Hell.[1] At some point in Hell, Vox became one of its powerful Overlords and began a technology business called VoxTek.

Some point after the 1970s,[note 1] he became acquainted with Valentino. At a later point, he also became acquainted with a young demon named Velvette, who, like him, also follows the latest technology and trends. The trio became the Overlord subgroup known as the Vees, with him as the leader, and together they would make collaborations between their businesses from V Tower. From how he and Velvette reacted, Vox has had to do damage control whenever Valentino is throwing a tantrum as he destroys anyone and everything.[2]

At an unknown point of time, Vox encountered Alastor, another Overlord sinner. According to Alastor, Vox offered him to join his team, to which he declined and Vox became "pissy".[2] At some point, the two Overlords began to see each other as rivals.[citation needed]

At some point, Vox upgraded his box-like TV head to a flat-screen TV.

Seven years prior to the series, Alastor and Vox fought each other. After Vox won, Alastor left Pentagram City for seven years. He took over Pentagram City's media entertainment with his medium, video.[2]

During the Extermination in the pilot, Vox, Velvette, and Valentino found a decapitated Exorcist and took it's head.[3]

Making Alastor swear

Vox appears on television advertising products that begin with the letter V, such as a brand of cereal. Realizing that Alastor is watching his advertisements, Vox hijacks the TV signal and projects his face on the TV monitor Alastor is watching. Alastor merely shrugs it off and calls him a show-off before leaving. When far away from him, Alastor begins to curse at Vox, which ends when he stops by a newly opened butchers shop.

Waiting out the Extermination

Vox is seen alongside his fellow Overlords Valentino and Velvette inside Valentino's porn studio after the Extermination ended. He is seen having a selfie taken by Velvette with him.

When Vaggie explains to Angel Dust about Alastor's origins, several overlords can be seen, including Vox standing in the center.

Vox is first shown in his room in the V Tower, admiring his advertising work for VoxTek when Velvette suddenly calls him. She tells him how Valentino is throwing another tantrum and demands him to deal with it, so he reluctantly heads over to see what's going on. Before he can get there, he is questioned by the various news crews on his opinion on the next Extermination being pushed forward half a year. He tells them not to worry and that everyone will be safe with VoxTek Angelic Security his company is developing. Making this up on the spot alongside using his hypnotic powers to get rid of the press, Vox tells one of his workers to start work on it immediately and to cancel all of his appointments as turns into electricity and enters a security camera.

Successfully stopping Valentino's tantrum

Vox ends up in Velvette's room and asks her what's going on, she says that she doesn't know anything about it so he heads to Valentino's room to calm him down. When he enters his room, he finds Valentino ranting and raging about his top employee Angel Dust having moved out, which Vox only expressed interest when thinking that Angel had quit working for Valentino. At first, Vox simply treats it like a mere annoyance but notices it's more serious after realizing that, in his blind rage, Valentino wants to go over to the Hazbin Hotel to kill Angel and everyone there, but Vox stops him and tells him to think rationally to keep the brand image up instead of "chasing whores around town" and do nothing by letting Valentino come to the conclusion Vox wanted. As Vox walks off, Valentino tells him that Alastor is also staying at that Hotel, causing Vox to promptly become enraged.

Defeated the first time

After finding this out, he goes back to his room to remind Alastor that the times are different now and starts a news segment about Alastor but is interrupted by him. He berates Vox brutally, insulting every part of his being and public image. Because of this, Vox ends up furious and accidentally takes out all of the power in the Pentagram City except the Hazbin Hotel. Alastor then tells Vox that he should have wanted him to stayed gone, telling him that their new conflict will be fun, to Vox's frustration.

Now at a meeting with the other Vees, he tells them how he does not want a deal with Alastor and Lucifer's daughter to ever be made. At first, they have no idea what they could do until Vox remembers a certain sinner. He sends the Sinner, Sir Pentious, to infiltrate the Hotel as a spy for them.

Noticing Alastor through a V-Watch

After Sir Pentious is caught, he calls Vox on his V-Watch, where Vox promptly tells him that he is an embarrassment and should kill himself if the others at the Hotel don't. Later on, Alastor finds the V-Watch on the floor and tells Vox that he will have to try harder next time to his rage. Alastor then crushes the V-Watch and laughs maniacally.

While not physically appearing, the three Vees were supposed to appear at a meeting about the upcoming Extermination, however, only Velvette showed up as their representative. Vox was on the phone with Velvette and the two trash talk the other Overlords within earshot.

Noticing Angel Dust

Angel sees Vox from a balcony shaking hands with Valentino. When Vox notices Angel, his smile falters to a frown. He then turns into electricity and leaves.

Vox watches everyone through his screens at or near the Hotel as they prepare for the Extermination, musing they will all die.

The next day, he brings some popcorn as he, Velvette, and Valentino watch the extermination on the TV in Valentino's room. He becomes ecstatic when Alastor picked a fight with Adam, knowing the latter would most likely kill him, and happily shouts that he was "so hard right now" and thrusts his hips, much to Velvette's disgust. He laughs and flips off Alastor on the screen when Adam defeats him, saying it was "better than sex", much to Valentino's visible disappointment. He becomes furious as Alastor retreated, cursing a lot.

Vox, along with almost everyone, is confused by Lucifer's threat to "fuck [Adam]". He's impressed that Niffty, a rather small and weak sinner, was able to stab Adam, a much bigger and stronger soul, to death.

The Vees plotting to rule Hell

After the cancellation of the Extermination, Vox watches the 666 News about it in his screens room. Afterwards, he puts a knife in an old torn photograph of himself with Alastor he enters Valentino's room, singing and dancing with Valentino on how there is a now power vacuum as they believed Alastor was apparently missing so the Vees can take advantage of to rule all of Hell. In the end, Vox and Valentino begin making out as Velvette take a selfie with them in the background.
