TV Special
Description
Arcangelo Corelli, scion of the wealthy Corelli family descended from former Neo Yokio mayor Theodore Corelli, embodies the city's old-money elite, contrasting sharply with nouveau riche backgrounds. He possesses long blonde hair, green eyes, and a pale complexion, consistently appearing in designer purple clothing. This signature style, often a purple turtleneck under a purple blazer with khakis and loafers, earned him the nickname "Gucci Jesus."
Initially Kaz Kaan's primary rival, Arcangelo belittles Kaz's status as a "neo riche" magistocrat, using slang like "rat catcher" to emphasize perceived lower standing. He covets his position as Neo Yokio's top-ranked bachelor, constantly competing with Kaz in social and athletic arenas, even attempting to usurp Kaz's fashion choices at high-profile events like the Metropolitan Museum of Art's black-and-white ball. His personality blends surface elegance with underlying boastfulness and competitiveness, leveraging knowledge of elite customs like champagne classifications and exclusive venues.
Following the Bachelor Board's collapse, Arcangelo shifts from rivalry to overt friendship with Kaz, assisting him during events like the Grand Prix. This evolution culminates in *Pink Christmas*, where he actively seeks reconciliation. During the Eligible Bachelors' Secret Santa, he rejects Kaz's gift—a family heirloom watch tied to Theodore Corelli—and instead performs an original song titled "Friend Like You." This act publicly denounces consumerism while covertly promoting his "Arcangelo Corelli Christmas Challenge," a citywide movement against gift-buying designed to boost ticket sales for his holiday concert.
Arcangelo displays a complex rapport with Kaz. In *Pink Christmas*, he kisses Kaz's cheek, calls him a "pink-haired prince," and singles him out as the only non-"loser" among the bachelors—gestures interpreted as potentially flirty, though their precise nature remains unresolved. He also spikes Kaz's drink with "MDNA," a demon-blood-infused drug, triggering a hallucination revealing truths about Kaz's lineage. Musically inclined, he leads caroling performances and composes music, referencing a "comeback album" despite earlier disdain for popular genres.
His relationships extend beyond Kaz: he flirts with figures like Sailor Pellegrino for social clout but maintains platonic ties with lesbian socialite Motoko Goldberg. He surrounds himself with the "East Side Gentlemen," reinforcing his influence. Arcangelo's *Pink Christmas* actions—particularly his anti-consumerist campaign—indirectly cause the Bergdorf Goodman salesclerk's firing and subsequent demonic possession, catalyzing the special's apocalyptic events.
