Hades
Known Aliases: God of the dead, Lord of the
Underworld
Rank: Shadowkeeper
Alignment: Rouges
Gender: Male
Age: Immortal
Personality:
When most people would think of the god of the underworld, their first thought is probably a dark, moody, brooding kind of guy. And while they aren't necessarily wrong, there's a lot more to Hades than that.
Many people have made the comparison that Hades seems very much like a salesman. He is very charismatic, knowing how to read people and how to smooth talk them to get what he wants.
This isn't to say he's unfair however. Though to many he may come off as sleazy and sneaky, he has never once gone back on his side of a deal. If you are lucky enough to actually manage to get him to give you his word in a promise (it's mostly deals with him, not promises), he will rarely, if ever, go back on it.
Don't mistake this for him being nice, though he might have his moments with certain people, over all, he's still a manipulative son of a gun. Not to mention he tends to get mad rather easily, and will, quite literally, burst into flames.
Backstory:
One of Kronos and Rhea's children, and the eldest out of his brothers Zeus and Poseidon. Like his siblings, he was swallowed by Kronos, for fear that his children would one day surpass him. After Zeus rescued his siblings, Hades helped overthrow Kronos and the other titans.
Once the war between the Titans and the Gods ended, the earth was divided between the three brothers. Being the eldest brother technically, Hades should have been the one to rule Olympus, but that title was instead given to Zeus, while Poseidon got the sea, and Hades was stuck with the underworld. A choice that would forever get on Hades' nerves.
"yada yada, you already know this anyway."
After many many years of ruling the underworld; as well as plotting his takeover of Olympus and revenge on his brother, Hades' plans were set back with the birth of his nephew, Zeus and Hera's son, Hercules. At first this was a real thorn in the God's side. After meeting with the Fates, with them confirming the return of the Titans and Hades' chance of takeover, but only if Hercules is taken out of the equation, Hades sent his minions to deal with the little problem while it was still little.
This didn't work.
18 short years pass with little in the way of eventful, just more plotting for cosmic takeover and ruling the land of the dead.
Along the way he also had to deal with a little angel popping in more and more often. At first he mostly considered her an annoyance, but after a while he started to somewhat enjoy her company, it was nice to have someone to talk to besides the souls of the dead. He even managed to rope her into doing odd jobs for him in exchange for letting her stay in the Underworld whenever she wanted. Plus she managed to help with Cerberus' obedience problems (read; puppy-rage).
So, when she left, Hades couldn't help but wonder what she was getting into. Then when his giant mutt disappeared, he made the decision to go after the two. Whatever had drawn the two off to a foreign land, it must have been something big, and he wanted to see if it was something he could use to his advantage.
It was also a chance to get out of the dark and gloomy basement.
Known Family:
