Hades

 

          Hades is the brother of Zeus. After the overthrow of their father, Cronus, he drew lots with Zeus and Poseidon, another brother, for shares of the world. He had the worst draw, and was made Lord of the Underworld, ruling over the dead. He is a greedy god who is greatly concerned with increasing his subjects. Those whose calling increased the number of the dead are seen favorably. The Erinnyes are welcomed guests. He is exceedingly disclined to allow any of his subjects to leave.

 

          He is also the god of wealth, due to the precious metals mined from the earth. He has a helmet that makes him invisible. He rarely leaves the Underworld. He is unpitying and terrible, but not capricious. His wife is Persephone, whom Hades abducted. He is the King of the Dead, but death itself is another god, Thanatos.
