Hades is a greedy god, and was greatly concerned with increasing his number of subjects in the Underworld. He seldom left his kingdom, but did possess a helmet that could make him invisible.

Hades is also the god of wealth, as everything under the earth belongs to him. Subjects in his kingdom referred to him as "the rich one". He was the son Cronus and Rhea, and also the husband of Persephone. However, she only spends four months of the year with him.

Hades was the dark lord of the dead and often consider an outcast by the greater Olympians. And because of his responsibilities regarding the dead, he was never allowed to take a seat on Olympus.

It was represented as a many-gated, dark and gloomy place, thronged with guests, and set in the midst of shadowy fields and an apparition-haunted landscape. In later legends the underworld is described as the place where the good are rewarded and the wicked punished.

He was a unpitying and just god, who was terrible but not evil. None of the gods were really evil in the sense that they were out to cause as much trouble as they could.
