Enemy


My father, Cronus is my main enemy. He ate me once I was born along with my brothers and sisters. I fought my father in the War of Titans and defeated him. I also hate my brothers Zeus and Posiedon. Zeus tried stealing my lovely wife Persephone from me. Posiedon , my other brother,  is always trying to get the best of me and show off.  Basically, Hades is the enemy of all life, gods, and men. Because of my gloomy and dark personality, I rarely take part in the affairs of Olympus.

Enchanted Tools of Hades and other facts

I wield a royal septer, a magical death-dealing staff, which could sunder the earth, creating a passage between the world of the living and the world of the dead. My helmet was made by Cyclopes and makes me invisible.  My  golden chariot is pretty impressive and everyone knows it is I , the Lord of thre Underworld, when I arrive. 

I am not the God Of  Death that is Thanatos but I am the ruler of the underworld of those mortals that have been given proper funerals. It is these souls that have been carried to me by my ferryman called Charon.

I have many names such as Pluto, Orcus,  and Aides.

I really have no children. How could a dead god father children?  My assigned children are the Furies. Dionysus, and Makaria and were probably fathered by my brother Zeus but I treat them like my own.  i did have an affair with Maria di Angelo while Persephone was gone and we had Bianco di Angelo.  My children are after all from my beloved Persephone and Maria di Angelo  and I will not let them come to any harm.

True Love


My true love is Persephone. I first fell in love with her when I saw her picking flowers by her house. I abducted her and brought her to my world. Her mother was furious when she found out, and she threatened to curse all that lived on earth if her daughter was not returned to her. Although I brought Persephone back to her mother, she was bound by the rules of the underworld to spend a part of each year with me as she had eaten six seeds from a pomegranate that I gave her. Persephone fell in love with me and has started liking her role as my queen. I am passionate over Persephone even though she spends only part of the year with me.

Environment



I live in the underworld, the underworld is hidden in the earth. It is the kingdom of the dead and ruled over by me. For most, life in the underworld is not particularly unpleasant. It is rather like a miserable dream, full of shadows, without sunlight or hope, a joyless place where the dead slowly fade into nothingness.  The gates of my underworld are guarded by Cereberus my three headed dog.  I ride in a magnificent chariot made of gold that is pulled by four jet-black horses. My estate is huge and even bigger than the estate that my brother Zeus rules.  All the jewels and metals are here so one might ask the girls that reside here if they are not comforted by the bling-bling that surrounds them. I wear a red cape, black armor, and I carry my staff and sword. Although surrounded by darkness and silence, new subjects are always being addd to my vast kingdom.

Animal



Cerberus, my three headed, man eating, canine, guards the gates of the underworld.  His main job is to keep the ghosts of the dead from leaving the underworld. Cerbus can see at all angles because he is a three-headed dog with a serpent's tail, a mane of snakes, and has claws like a lion.  He was a Greek monster born to Typhon,the storm giant,  and Echida, the mother of all monsters. My canine has yellow eyes , is very fast , and can even speak!  He is a great gate keeper of souls in Hades but has been fooled by Orpheus who put him to sleep with beautiful music and Hercules who knocked him out and kidnapped him. He will not relate these instances to you because these two instances were sources of embarrassment to him.  Cerberus is the unmatched force for anyone trying to get in or out of Hades without permission. 

Powers



When my brothers and I drew for what world we would rule, I feel like I got the worse pick. I was made lord of the underworld, ruling over the dead. I am a greedy god who is greatly concerned with increasing my subjects. I am also the god of wealth, due to the precious metals mined from the earth.  I have a helmet that makes me invisible. I can put the dead to sleep, silence the dead with a hand motion, surround my enemies with pitch black clouds, shoot bolts of darkness, and I can travel anywhere I want at very high speeds.  Although I have all these poweres, I rarely leave the underworld. I am unpitying and grim , but not capricious.
