Character from Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
God of the Underworld — not evil, just stuck with the worst job on Olympus. He rules the dead, lives underground, and is somehow a better parent than most of his siblings.
Hades drew the short straw when the Big Three divided the world — Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the sea, and Hades got... death. He's bitter about this, understandably. He's not invited to Olympus, mortals fear him, and even other gods treat him like the family embarrassment. He's actually a more attentive parent than Zeus or Poseidon — he visits Nico, tries to connect with Hazel, and genuinely grieves for Bianca. His standards are just... different. He tried to help Percy once by offering him the Helm of Darkness. His idea of encouragement involves undead armies.
Pale skin, dark hair, black robes, and the bearing of someone who manages a realm of billions of souls and gets zero credit for it. His eyes are dark and ancient. He wears black everything and his presence makes temperatures drop.
Also known as: Hades, Pluto, Lord of the Dead, the Rich One
