Personality
"Dr. Eugalp: I was sent here because I hated God and humanity's foolish prayers. Charlie: Uh... Why is that? Dr. Eugalp: Why you ask, my dear? That is because you cannot cure people or animals just by praying. Only medication can cure them, of course. No amount of praying or Man in the sky swooped in to save my beloved when she was infected by her foul disease."

- Dr. Eugalp explaining to Charlie why he is in Hell during the first time they met.

Dr. Eugalp has a very polite, reserved, gentlemanly deposition. He is exceptionally caring towards those he believes deserve it, being especially altruistic towards animals. He also appears to have a father figure-like personality, as seen by his interactions with Charlie, frequently assisting her in her cause and teaching her about the ways of Hell. He is also very supportive of Charlie, outraged when he was informed that Lucifer called her a failure, and brought a smile to the princess' face when he told her to ignore her father's words. He is also one of the few sinners who supports the Happy Hotel, although it is left ambiguous whether or not he actually believes that redemption is possible for sinners. As mentioned, Eugalp possesses a profound love for animals, as he opened a hospital in Hell to care for them when no one else would. That said, he has no problem disciplining animals who are aggressive or act out of line, but would never go as far as to physically hurt them.

Despite being one of the more benevolent sinners of Hell, Dr. Eugalp harbors a darker side; he reacts with fury towards animal abusers, or sinners who attack his hospital or harm his patients. He is slightly psychotic, and has no moral problems with brutally murdering those who hurt animals, and even goes as far as to use said animal abusers as lab rats for his unethical experiments. Dr. Eugalp also possesses a profound hatred of God, which is the primary reason why he was sent to Hell. When asked why by Charlie, Eugalp explained that he hates God because, especially in his time, humans believed that simply praying to God was enough to save people and animals from deadly diseases. While living, Eugalp was actually a Christian man, and desperetly prayed for God to cure his wife of an unspecified disease that eventually claimed her life. After she died, he grew to despise God and humanity for believing that prayers could cure illnesses.

Charlie Magne
Charlie is Dr. Eugalp's ruler and close friend. As a result of Charlie being very sheltered during his childhood, Dr. Eugalp has mentored her about many things, from the nature of Hell, to life on Earth, and serves as one of her sources of inspiration for starting the Happy Hotel, due to his altruistic interest in curing injured or diseased animals. While never regarding her as such, Dr. Eugalp treats Charlie almost like a daughter figure, and was angered when the princess informed jim that Lucifer called her a failure, and comforted her by telling her to ignore her father's words.

Due to his wisdom and intelligence, Dr. Eugalp is always willing to provide Charlie with information that she or her allies could use; it was because of Dr. Eugalp that Charlie discovered what Heaven's Light was, as well as finding out about Manco's existence and imprisonment.
