Hades
Hades is the brother of Zeus. After the overthow
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
increase the number of dead are seen favorably.
The Erinnyes are welcomed guests. He is
exceedingly disinclined to allow any of his
subjects leave. He is also the god of wealth,
due to the precious metals mined from the earth.
He has a helmet that makes him invisable. 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.
