Dionysus

Character from Hades by Supergiant Games

God of Wine and Madness — the friendliest Olympian by a wide margin, perpetually flushed from drinking, and helping Zagreus because he finds the whole thing enormously entertaining.

Dionysus calls Zagreus "guy" and "Prince Z" and joins the escape effort because watching it is extremely good entertainment with wine. This is the most honest motivation of any Olympian, and it results in Dionysus being genuinely helpful and genuinely warm, because he actually enjoys the company. He teaches Zagreus the art of playing pranks, including an elaborate scheme to cheer up Orpheus. He always speaks like he's slightly slurring — not because he's impaired, but because that's who he is. He grew up in a secluded place. He has always found revelry a better solution than restraint. Chaos, the primordial being, specifically cites him as unpredictable. This is a recommendation.

Appearance

A dark-skinned man with a toned body and long dark blue hair with curls, purple eyes, and flushed cheeks from constant drinking. A short, wide smoky purple chiton. Gold bracelets at wrists and thighs, grape vines and animal skin at the shoulders, an ivy crown with grapes. In his right hand, a thyrsus — a fennel staff with a pine cone. In his other hand, a wine cup.
